Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."
When in Safe Mode...
- The status of plug-ins is not affected.
- Custom preferences are not affected.
- All extensions are disabled.
- The default theme is used, without a persona.
- userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored.
- The default toolbar layout is used.
- The JIT Javascript compiler is disabled.
- Hardware acceleration is disabled.
If not, see this:

I figured it out... i went to recent updates in my add ons menu and firefox had updated my persona. I deleted that and restarted firefox now i am able to open new windows.

I am unable to open New window, same Problem for me too
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
If it works in Safe mode or with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
The same situation for me.
With ALL extensions disabled (safe mode or disabled by hand) it perfectly works. If you enable a couple of them then it blocks!!!! Whichever two of my extensions are enanbled, the browser ends up NOT being able to open new windows. Only new tabs!
This situation started after updating in version 20 of Firefox. What's more. After meshing around with enabling-disabling, installing-uninstalling extensions it ended up that the majority of them (employing aspects of browser window) doesn't "appear" to work.
