When I right click a tab, and select the option "Open in a new window", Firefox does not respond.

I can add as many tabs as I like, but can not open them in a new window.

I can also right click a link and open it in a new tab, but Firefox does not do anything when I try to open the link in a new window.

I reinstalled Firefox on my computer, and also updated Java and it did not solve the problem.

This started happening about a week ago for no apparent reason.

First check to see if an add-on is causing this problem, for details on how to do that see the troubleshooting extensions and themes article.

If that does not help, try creating a new profile. Firefox stores user data in the profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows. If the new profile works, you can transfer select data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. DO not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install add-ons. For details of how to do that see transferring data to a new profile.

Thanks Tony, I tried it in safe mode and it worked.

I disabled all of my extensions except a few that I use on a regular basis and that solved the problem.

I don't know what extension I had installed that was causing the problem but it's working like normal now.
