Selecting "open in new tab" from right click menu does nothing
I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now makes no sense.
When I right click on a web link, then select "open in new tab" nothing happens. No tab opens.
On the other hand, I now see countless irrelevant options for that link, like "copy audio location", "copy image location", "play", "pause", etc when the item I clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other sort of media. The contents of the right click menu now is longer than my entire screen, completely irrelevant to the link I'm clicking on and the one option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix this?

I was having the same issue. I found that disabling Firebug in my Extensions menu solved the problem, so when i right-click it only brings up the standard options menu rather than the 100 or so new options that don't apply.
If you have Firebug installed too, you might want to give this a shot. I haven't upgraded my Firebug in some time so it might be an issue with running an older version of it.
Hope that helps

In other threads, I've read that Macs have a .plist file that stores some menu information and can occasionally become corrupted. For example: What happened to the File, Edit, and View menus for mac 0s10.8.3? f10 and other solutions don't work. I don't know whether that issue can affect the right-click context menus as well, but it's my best guess.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
