When I send my form results to a form handler that is at a different site, it opens new window in Firefox … is there any way to force it to close the form page and NOT open a new window?

How and why are you sending to a handler elsewhere.
Does your own host not provide PHP to allow you to use the PHP Feedback Form action?

Can you post a link to your form so that we can see the underlying code.

I’d be embarrassed - the form is so rudimentary!

Throw caution to the wind and your embarrassment with it if you want a fix!
We all started with simple beginnings - we aren’t going to laugh at your efforts.

BTW - who is your hosting provider?
Knowing this may offer up alternatives.

OK here is the link to the form:
http://www.porcupinehill.com/hpcsite/hpc-scoreform.html
The website host is a local server (superaje.com), but the forms handler is at the address found in the code.
The form is supposed to submit the scores to the form handler (which works great, the data comes to me in an email and it looks fine), then show a page to say thanks for submitting the information, and then return to the home page (http://www.porcupinehill.com/hpcsite/). I use a timed redirect on the “thank you page”. The “thank you” page is triggered by the forms handler, based on information found in the form action. The problem is that it opens a new window for the “thank you” page, and leaves the score submission page open in the original window, which means that some of the people will end up submitting their scores twice (or 3 times or four times or five times!, they are not a very tech savvy group!).
I did submit a support form to the forms handler people, but they didn’t get back to me yet (although I know they looked at the problem, because I got a bunch of emails with test data :-)).
Again, my apologies for the rudimentary shape of the form, I haven’t made it pretty yet, or done any verifications on the data …
Thanks for whatever help you can give

Oh yes, if I don’t put in a “thank you” page, the forms handler generates a crappy looking page with a recap of the date anyways, IN A NEW WINDOW. I can somewhat modify the page that is automatically generated, but I would rather go with my own page.

Try setting the Target to _self as in the pic below for that page - look in the Inspector with nothing selected on the page.

Just as an aside - if you reduce the height of your selector list - Prix St George, Intermediate 1 and Intermediate 1 Freestyle - to the height of one option - it will then become a dropdown selector.
