By selecting 'Open in a new tab' right-click menu does nothing
I just updated to firefox 24 on OXS. The right click menu now is meaningless.
When I right click on a web link, and select 'Open in new tab', nothing happens. No tab opens.
However, I see now countless options irrelevant for that link, such as 'copy the audio location', 'copy the location of the image', 'play', 'pause', etc., when the article I have clicking on is not an image, audio, video or any other type of media. The content of the right click menu is now longer than my entire screen, completely out of place for the link I'm clicking on and the only option that is relevant does nothing.
How can I fix?
I had the same problem. I found that disable Firebug in my Extensions menu solved the problem, so when I right click it appears the menu of standard options rather than the new options 100 or so which do not apply.
If you have installed too much Firebug, you might want to give this a shot. I have not upgraded my Firebug in no time so it might be a problem with running an older version of it.
Hope that helps

There is a problem when I click on the tab '+' to 'open a new tab' nothing happens. It allows to open new tabs, and now it does nothing. Even when I go to 'File' and 'New tab' it still does nothing. The only time wherever I can get a new tab to open is if I go to 'Help' and click "Firefox Help" then opens a new tab with firefox help.
Please disable or uninstall the extension "Ask Toolbar". He has a known compatibility issue with the latest update of Firefox.

Why were the new tab and new window right click menu items reversed for FF3.6 on FF4?
I use Firefox since version 1. When you right-click on a hyperlink, that the first menu item has always been 'open in a new tab' and the second element was "open in a new window' now in Firefox 4, they are reversed and it is a major pain in the rear. I even went and checked Firefox 3.6 on other PCs to ensure that I was not bad, and of course, they are reversed. I checked on Windows XP and 7. I find myself constantly opening new windows instead of tabs. Is it possible to change this in addition to revert to the version 3.6? More stupid idea that someone at Mozilla never had. Change it please go back to the old in 4.1
You can change what is back as with the Menu Editor extension:

Open in a new tab or window does not work. How can I fix?
I just upgraded to 36.01. When I right click on a link in the menu of options is long and confusing. When I select open in a new tab or a new window, it does nothing. What can I do to reduce the list of options and how to fix him open a new tab or window option?
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.
Try a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
- Download the full Firefox installation program and save the file to the desktop
https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/
If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.
- Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.
If you keep problems also create a new profile.
Make a check of malware with several malware scanning of programs on the Windows computer.
Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
All of these programs have free versions.Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

My option "open in a new tab in the same window" has stopped working.
After working for centuries without any problem, my option "open in a new tab in the same window" has stopped working. Support suggested that I go to tools, select internet options and open tabs, and then select open in a new tab in the same window option. I did as instructed and concluded that this option under the tabs was already selected and unchanged. I changed this option, closed my browser and restarted my computer as instructed.
As before you follow these instructions, and when viewing online and wish to open a link in a new tab in the same window I once again this desired option. Internet does not take into account my instructions and opens my link in a new window. This is extremely irritating.
Does anyone have a solution?

I selected the option to open the bookmark in a new tab, but it does that
Hi, as far as I know, bookmarks cannot be opened in a new tab automatically. However this add-on - Open bookmarks in a new tab will do it for you.
Alternatively, you can click the mouse wheel. Or, right click > open in a new tab. Or, hold down the Ctrl key when you click.
Hope that helps.

After 20.0.1 a few hours ago, click Update right displays all THE menu options, do not work a lot (all?), as 'view page source', 'open in a new tab' etc etc.
To clarify, this happens if you have the active Firebug 1.10.6 addon.
You can fix it by updating to the version of Firebug 1.11.2Here's how:
Go to your add-ons Manager, right-click on the Firebug add-on and select 'Find updates'.Hope that helps.

Now in collaboration with 3.6.18 (I got v4 and v5 briefly), the bar tabs "failed" in v5, so I went back to v3.6.18, but the problem of tracking.
No matter how many tabs are open, I can't have a new blank tab by clicking on the tab '+' on the tab bar.
I can't get a new tab by mouse on another tab, the menu of the right 'new tab' button will not work.I CAN select a bookmark 'open in a new tab' works.
I CAN do the same thing on a link, "open in a new tab" opens in a new tab.Uninstall the Ask toolbar, it is known to prevent the open tabs.
Alternatively, you can write a check for an infection rootkit TDSSKiller.
