The question title pretty much explains the problem.

EDIT: "Open Link in New Window" works fine, as does clicking a Link or Bookmark to switch a Tab to the linked page.

"Reload Tab" doesn't do anything. The page only loads if I stop it and reload.

Sorry for bothering you, but I think I've just fixed the problem.

Over the past three days I've closed & restarted Firefox multiple times and shutdown & restarted my computer twice without resolving the problem, but I just did it again, opened Firefox in safe mode, then closed & restarted Firefox and the "Open Link in New Window" now appears to work normally.

Now I feel like an idiot for not trying that before posting the question.
