I have Firefox 5 on my laptop and am using Sympatico.ca as my home page. My problem is that since receiving my Firefox 5 update I am now unable to open the tabs/menus on my home page. I had no problem prior to the Firefox 5 update. Am I missing a plugin? What changes do I have to make to "5"? As stated had no problem until the update to "5"... I also have IE on my laptop but I prefer using Firefox. Hope you can solve my problem. Tried the chat room but it appears to be closed. Charles

Yes, this has been discussed for the past couple of days. As a temporary workaround, you can right-click the links and choose Open in New Tab or Open in New Window. You also may be able to open them by middle-clicking.

Tried the temporary fix/solution and it works... However; I dlo hope that Firefox will upgrade Firefox 5 to fix the obvious problem/ inconvience as I do prefer Firfox over IE. Thanks for the help.
