Whenever I right-click to open a link in a new tab, it opens it in a new window instead. How do I fix this?

The other night, I opened up a new window to do some school work, then accidentally saved that page instead of my usual page when I closed out, causing me to lose all my tabs. Since this happened, all the links I open in Firefox open in a new window, even though my settings are set that it should open in new tabs, and even when I right-click and hit "Open in a New Tab." Links from places besides Firefox (like MSN and such) still open in new tabs. What can I do to fix this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
