Well, one way to find out which plugin or add-on (On Firefox: Tools -> 
Add-ons)
is to start with the new profile, and start addin in one plugin at a 
time and
testing the tab issue. If that proves to be all OK, then start adding one
add-on (assuming you had add-ons in the original profile), and after each
add, restart firefox and see if the tab problem re-appears after each add.

My personal experience with add-ons, and latest firefox, see:
