I can no longer middle click a bookmark from the bookmarks menu to open in a new tab. No matter whether I left, middle or right click, it is treated as a left click and opens in my currently open tab. PS I'm doing this using Firefox 23 but the same applies to Firefox 26 (obtained from Nightly Builds).

Bug 748850 in Firefox has a workaround: You have to use the terminal or a file explorer. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css In my case is the required new folder & new file are to be in ~/.mozilla/firefox/randomalphanumeric.default/ You have to create the directory "chrome" and inside it the file "userChrome.css" with this text: bookmarks-menu-button{ display:-moz-box!important;} Then restart FF.

Try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.

(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)

  • Open the Help menu and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.

Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

Please report back soon.

Correction. 748850 is the bug number in Launchpad's Ubuntu bugs. 913356 is the bug number in Bugzilla's Mozilla bugs.
