Question: What causes the 'Multiple Browser Window' message?

Likely Cause(s): Users encounter this message when when using CTRL+N to open a new window, or clicking on a link while pressing the CTRL button on the keyboard. Additionally, if a browser crashes, and is reopened, when prompted to restore the tabs that were closed in the crash, this would result in the same message.
