When I click on a link and a new tab opens I am unable to scroll down with the mouse wheel, there is no sidebar. Plus my bookmarks don't appear. Any ideas appreciated.

Are you running Firefox in Private Browsing mode?

You may be seeing this bug:

Currently, there are two possible workarounds for the problem cor-el mentioned with private browsing windows:

(1) Turn tabbed browsing back on (Preferences > General/Tabs > "Open new windows in a new tab instead"), or

(2) Shift-click links that you want to open in a new window
