vim latex-suite opens blank firefox tab [SOLVED]

when i try to view a text doc using \lv xdvi shows it nicely, but a blank firefox tab is also opened up for some inexplicable reason.
anyone know what that reason might be and how i can stop this behavior?

It sounds like vim is using Firefox as your dvi viewer, and that Firefox is using xdvi as its dvi viewer.  Do you have a line like "let g:Tex_ViewRule_dvi = 'xdvi'" in vim.txt in your vim searchpath?

no i don't and i have nothing like it in .vim or /usr/shared/vim
so i put it into .vimrc and the problem is gone!
thank you very much jt512!

i am puzzled though as to what would cause vim to go to firefox in the first place. i realize it is the default browser as defined in
.vim/browser_launcher.vim
but i don't see how that would be connected with tex.
