Problem with tabs, can't move tabs on the Tab Bar, can't drag to create a duplicate Tab, won't open link in a new Tab
I'm using a Toshiba laptop, 64-bit, running Windows 10 Home, 8gb memory. Firefox version 45.0.1.
I am having three issues but I think they are all related, otherwise I would open separate problem tickets. If I need to open separate tickets, please let me know.
I no longer have the ability to drag tabs to different locations on the Tab Bar. I noticed it happening only within the last few days. I wanted to download some videos from the internet and wanted to download them by size. I have a very slow connection and only download about 3 things at a time. I had 8 tabs open and wanted to move them so they were in order by size. And that ability is gone.
Along the same line, I used to be able to drag a tab and create a duplicate of it. That ability is also gone.
And the final problem is this. I used to be able to click on links, one after the other while holding down the Ctl key, and they would all open in separate Tabs. Now when I click on multiple links, Firefox only brings back the last link I click on.
I have Colorful Tabs add-on installed but it was installed a year or so ago, so I don't think that would be it. I also have Theme Font and Size Changer add-on installed but have had it for quite a while too. I noticed that both have been updated during March but I would hope that would not cause these problems.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

This* is a problem with the "Foxy Alerts Slider" feature of the ReminderFox extension. If you disable that feature, normal tab functions should work again. Does that work for you?
Apparently an update is in the works, but it's not available yet.
* The first issue definitely, probably the second one, don't know about the third.

Thank you so much. This did solve the first and second issues. After further experimentation, I believe the third issue is probably a Word problem since the links were in a Word document. So thanks again, I truly appreciate your time and help. This problem is solved. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanx from here too! Solution worked!

Fixed my problem: Right click on Firefox icon select options, navigate to Notifications and deselect "Foxy Alerts Slider". I first noticed the slider was not working properly in that it would slide up the entire screen. Not sure if a notification will be issued when the problem is fixed. Worked for me.
Thanks jscher2000
