I cannot open a new tab unless I right-click on a link and select "Open link in new tab"

When I click the plus sign to open a tab, and even when I go to "File" and then "New Tab" Nothing happens. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking a link. I've tried closing and restarting the browser, and even restarting my computer. Nothing is helping. Firefox did do an update this morning, could it be a glitch from that?

Thank you! I went into safe mode and reset all of my settings to the default. Now everything works fine!
