Firefox worked fine until I upgraded my video driver for dual screen capability. Now when I open firefox I can only open the first page. If I were to click to open a new window or my bookmarks, nothing happens on the screen but I can see them in the multiple boxes on the system tray. Any ideas?

I solved it! I didn't know there was a "Firefox Refresh" button. Once I hit that I can now open multiple windows on my display!

Note that such issues can be caused by a problem with an extension.
