Firefox doesn't allow me to forward using the "share via email" and other apps.

Whenever I'm reading an article (from Cnet, WSJ or other) and I want to use the send the article to a friend via email or share on facebook, I click the appropriate tab and a new page comes up. But it is the Search bookmarks and history page and not a blank email type page. This has happened repeatedly. I read the tip about the amount of cashe storage and cleared that, but it still occurs.


This happened

A few times a week

== several weeks a go

I have this and, I believe, a related problem since the upgrade. When I select a "share on facebook" and it opens a secondary (smaller) window, the window displays but is completely non-functional. I cannot scroll, enter information, etc. All I can do is close it. This has happened on various sites with exactly the same result.
