Update: I went to "Tab & Window Preferences" and it's definitely caused by "Links to other sites:" setting.

When it's set at "Work as specified in the web page" there's no redirection.

When it's "Open in a new tab," which I normally use, you get the redirection and extra tabs.

I've seen this happen but I've not investigated the cause. If I find anything I'll report back.

I can report it's not related to the Google plugins (tested by unticking them in preferences):

• GoogleGadget,
• npgtpo3dautoplugin,
• Google Earth Web Plug-in,
• googletalkbrowserplugin

It doesn't happen in a clean user account.

Deleting all Google cookies has no effect.

Deleting ~/Library/Application Support/OmniWeb5 has no effect.
