Bookmarks no longer open with left click

I'm not sure what's going on. If I hover over my bookmarks, they do show the correct URL in the lower left corner, but clicking them results in no action. It just returns to the browsing window.

If I right click them and "Open in a new tab" or "open in a new window" those functions work fine. Not sure what's happened here. In the Windows 7 environment, my clicking properties have not changed from normal.

Try the Firefox SafeMode.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)

  1. You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
  2. Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.

To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.

If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
