In the previous Firefox versions we are able to open a new window & open link in a new window. The feature is there when you "right click" on the tab or click on the "open a new window" but it simply not functioning

Link context method works for me, there have been many complaints that the first two items were switched, and that can be easily modified with the "Menu Editor" extension.

If it does not work for you an extension might be involved.

There is also the mouse shortcut Shift+click on the link. Called mouse shortcut because it involves the mouse.

You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 5.0 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)
