Hey,

Since my upgrade to Firefox 29, when I right-click any bookmark in my bookmark list, I get the right-click context menu, as always, but ALL of the options are grayed-out so that I can't click on any of them? How do I fix this?

I had the same problem today. I closed and reopened firefox and now all choices ("open in new tab", "open in new window", etc. are again available.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Seems to be working now...I restarted Firefox something like 4 times and I can now get the right-click menus properly again! :)

I nave FF 29.0.1 running on Fedora 19, fully updated. My system normally runs 24/7, getting rebooted only if there's a software update (such as the kernel) that can't be put into use any other way, and I generally leave FF running at all times for the convenience. Once in a while, the right-click menu on bookmarks gets grayed out. Closing and restarting FF fixes it, but it's not permanent; sooner or later it comes back. And, if it helps, this isn't new to 29.0.1; it's been doing it for some time. I kept hoping it would go away, but it looks like it won't, so I'm wondering if anybody out there knows how to get rid of it permanently.
