images opening in blank tab
I recently had a malware infection but all traces have been removed, except in firefox. The residual effect is that when I am searching google images and right click to open an image in new tab, the new tab window is blank. I have tried running with all plugins disabled in safemode without effect. I have run "search engine reset" from the app area of mozilla. This does not occur with new profiles, nor in privacy windows, only my current profile. I even clean installed mozilla and added my profile from a copy. I can not find the setting in "about:config" "newtab" either. Thus it is a profile issue only, but where is it hiding?
Thanks.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
This can be caused by corrupted cookies or cookies that are blocked (check the permissions on the about:permissions page).
It is possible that the cookies.sqlite file that stores the cookies is corrupted if clearing cookies doesn't work.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookies files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox profile folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

That did it, thank you very much Cor-el.
