Okay, so before I had no troubles opening new tabs. Everything work like it should. I don't know what happened, it must've happened with the recent update. I noticed when I tried opening a new tab, especially if it's a YouTube link, for half a second the tab will load but then close. No matter what I do, it closes. I can open new tabs with the '+', I just can't open links with a right-click.

I tried: 1. Reinstalling FireFox, didn't work.

2. Loading FireFox in SafeMode, the tabs open normally. Then when I close it and go back in the normal FireFox they don't work again.

3. Clearing the cache.

4. Tried modifying the browser.link.open_newwindow and browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction. None of them seem to work.

I don't want to Refresh my FireFox just yet, but I don't think it'll help me much either.

So, with that said, I've not been having luck. I disabled any Tab extensions just to see if maybe they were causing it, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Hi, these are turned off when use : SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

Please try turning off Hardware Acceleration : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/performance-settings Though it could be a Windows issue that starts this if you have cleartype turned off turn it back on and leave hardware acceleration as it is. You may have to reboot.

Please let us know if that fixed the issue.
