Firefox does not new tabs or windows open in right-click menu (xpsp3) since the upgrade to v 16.0. is there a solution?

Right-click on a link and left click on "Open link in a new tab. nothing happens. No new tab is created.
Right-click on a link and left click on "Open link in a new window. nothing happens. No new window is opened.
behaviour observed with firefox 16.0 (15.1 upgrade) on windows xp sp3

Firefox 16.0 behaves as you would expect with slackware 14.0

is there a fix for this regression

Looks like that for me, it was the Firebug extension that was screwing things up. Disable Firebug solved the problem.

  • Open the link in new tab option missing when I right click a link in firefox beta firefox 15 and 16.

    I tried IE9 and Chrome and don't have this problem. Here is a picture of what my right click menu looks like http://imgur.com/APbUc

    Yes, you are missing the two options that are usually on top: 'open in a new tab' and 'open in a new window '.

    I guess that it is an extension or a wild theme. You can easily test that by starting Firefox with disabled modules: issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode

    You can then disable all extensions and select one by one to figure on which we have the problem. If you don't have time for that and don't care about the extensions, you can just reset Firefox: Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules

    I think that the difficulty with myantispyware site is to know what type of malicious software that you have?

    I met recently a few new malwares of thugs that are loaded in safe mode effectively preventing you to download or install anything.

  • Why firefox does not allow users to configure to play other types of media in the browser via its plugins?

    Firefox has a plugin that allows you to play. Stream AVI files in the browser.
    There are of course more types of file stream only. AVI that vlc media player (a very popular program) can play.
    Why doesn't firefox allow these types of streams, that is to say - FLV to play using the browser firefox via the plugin?
    Firefox does not even allow users to manually set this behavior.
    I think it's ridiculous to have the potential to be a great another browser, but not yet the chance to compete because of this inconceivable gap.

    I got an advance on the answer here:

  • Firefox does not appear (it will be 'open', although it seems that it is open in the taskbar)

    I don't know if it's a coincidence that he himself has updated to 37.0, but it must be...

    When I click the task bar on Firefox and on the desktop icon, it opens on the taskbar, when I select the taskbar it shows even Firefox loaded Google (my default Web page)... But it never occurred to the screen.

    I have:
    -Windows 8.0 (No 8.1 and I'm not on the upgrade because it works better than 8.1)
    -Noscript add-on/plugin, or more
    -the drivers up to date

    I tried:
    -Uninstall and reinstall the version the most recent (37.0)
    -Uninstall 37.0 and installation of Firefox Web site archive 36.0
    -Restart my computer after install
    -Disabling service maintenance on installation

    I "allow" - ed the windows popup install twice and it does not help.
    The first time, it tries to open, she went to the yellow background on the taskbar to open programs, you have not yet used.
    However, when I click on it nothing comes on the screen. When I select always watch here my homepage. I can't do the thing in firefox update because I can't even display. I don't get the error messages on my computer, which is weirder. I updated and ran windows defender full scan and found nothing (but it is not surprising to "defender", lol).

    Once he opens the first time, even open another page opens nothing. Then it crashes and does close, even if you right click and you try to close all the windows... I have to use the Task Manager to close at the end of task...

    I don't know how to open the 'xpi' convenience store thing, sorry...

    And no whining, but why is - it so suddenly broken XD... And more important still, how in the world I can't come back to work? I use this terrible chrome I got lucky to have right on my computer already, which I only got to see one thing a long time ago and I forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate to use chrome, it is actually works perfectly for me now... Thank you for any help will be much appreciated...

    The Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or search from the start menu (bar (or, in Windows 8 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder):

    %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old as well.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Thank you! Your thing 'out of scope' brought me exactly what I need! I realized it was broken because of my second monitor/TV... It wasn't "on" the TV, but because he was off it broke somehow... So, once I've restarted BOTH on, she came back to my main screen/monitor (no tv). I don't know why he did it, but he must have crashed on my main screen because the TV was turned off... Strange...

  • Since the upgrade to 3.6.13 on my Mac, Firefox does not restart tabs. I replaced th e ' |. ' "%7 C" as suggested in the article of technical support, but it continues to happen. Is this the same fix for Mac or is there a different difficulty?

    I have set preferences to "show my windows and tabs from last time '. I used the button "use current Pages". I changed the used the ' | ' and I changed the ' | ' to 7% C I read in one of the bandages. If Firefox is stopped and restarted, the Mac is still in place or after I turned off the Mac and then restart it, the problem persists. I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.5 on Mac.

    If you use Remove navigation, search and download history on Firefox in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the browsing history when you close Firefox then restore the tabs from last session ("Save and exit" or "show my windows and tabs from last time ') does not work.

  • Print screen does not work on my windows 7. Samsung laptop computer. Tried the fn, alt, cont + prt sc

    Can't just 'print screen '. Have to go to paint, home, paste, save, name the file, select jpeg and then save again. Then go to the file and print it. On my old computer

    I just clicked on print screen. Any help out there?

    I'm not 100% clear what you mean - you say that you "click" print screen - where & in what program? Do you mean the print screen on your keyboard key?

    Here's how the print screen button key keyboard should work...

    The Print Screen key does not immediately print on the screen, as the name might make you think - it's a bit wrong to foreground. Instead, it copies the current image of the screen to your Clipboard. You can then paste this image into a program type photo editing (or similar) so that you can edit it or print it from there.

    Another way of the foregoing is by pressing Alt + print screen on your keyboard - it's exactly the same as the above, but the image on the Clipboard is only the active window.

  • Firefox does not, as soon as I open the window solutions, may NOT START in safe MODE?

    Recently, I accidentally begain download some unwanted addons - but I cancelled the download before being finished and quickly removed the programs by uninstalling program files issues. Firefox worked pretty well at the time, but later he started to become less sensitive. I did some cleaning (clear the cache, etc.) and done a virus scan. Has not made a difference.
    Eventually he started to get like some that I open a firefox browser - becomes inadmissible. The first two times, disconnection and reconnection to my connection int fixed. But now is not working and even after uninstalling and reinstalling firefox, it is inadmissible. I should have the version 6.0.2
    Finally, there is no way I can run firefox in SafeMode because as soon as I open the browser it is inadmissible, which means that I can not even access toolbars.

    -> Close Firefox

    • Click the Firefox button, and then click exit
    • NOW press CTRL + SHIFT + ESC keys to open the--> Task Manager process tab-> click right firefox.exe and click end process tree -> close the Task Manager

    -> Start Firefox in Mode safe by holding down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox

    • As alternative method, use the Win + R key combination and enter one of the following values in the box run Windows:

      • Firefox-safe-mode
      • "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"-safe-mode
      • "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla"-safe-mode

    -> Safe mode of Firefox window will appear-> don't SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click continue in Safe Mode

    Check and tell if its work while you use Firefox Mode without failure.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
