right clicks for new tab or window opens to 404 Not found error. This is only happening in Firefox.

Hi nwfirefly,

I'd try starting Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide and the Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems article as well.

Hopefully this helps!

PERFECT! Easy and worked like a charm! However, if I use "google" to generate a search window...a right click will open to a 404 error. Does that mean the problem is with my google task bar?

Hey nwfirefly,

Glad it worked. It could be google, but there's really only one way to tell. Try enabling each plugin/add-on individually and restarting Firefox until you find the one causing the problem. You can find instructions here.

Cheers!
