If I go to click on a link where the setting is to open the link in a new window nothing happens. If I right click it and try new window, nothing happens. It only works by opening links in a tab. I also cannot start a separate window by clicking on the Foxfire icon like I used to.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems
