I just installed FF4 and can't get a bookmark to open in a new tab using right-button click and selecting open in a new tab.

actually, it's more complicated. It seems none of the right-button options work: Open, open in a new window, and open in a new tab.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Safe Mode worked. Turned off hardware acceleration and it work until the next boot up, then it didn't work anymore. Made sure hardware acceleration was still off and then disabled all apps and it worked again. One-by-one, I enabled apps until all apps were again enabled. It worked with each app added. Everything still works and hasn't stopped working through about 5 boot-ups.
