Why won't bookmarks open directly (left-click) from sidebar.
Recently (probably when updated to V.30?) I lost the ability to click bookmarks in my sidebar to open them (I always have the sidebar open and it was previously my main way of navigating.) If I right click, I get a small menu which includes "open" but simply clicking on the bookmark does nothing at all.
I did see a support issue where someone was asking how to select a bookmark without opening it (the opposite of what I'm trying to do here) and the person was told to click on the far left to select without opening. I have now tried clicking all over various bookmarks - left, right, high, low, on the text, on the icon, double-clicking, etc. - nothing works. The stupid things just won't open unless I right click on them.
How can I get back to normal sidebar bookmark use?!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
