When I right click on a link, a very long menu comes up with lots of choices that have nothing to do with links (like "copy image"). When I select either "open in new window" or "open in new tab", nothing happens. I just updated to the newest version of FF yesterday (05-08-13). I have not customized anything since the new install. Before the new install everything worked fine.

hello lindal, this is very likely caused by an outdated addon. one of them is firebug, so in case you have it installed please update it to the latest version.

Thanks. Works fine after I installed the latest version of Firebug.
