Can't open bookmarks in new tab
About ten days ago, I stopped being able to open bookmarks in a new tab. In fact, if I right click them at all, I get a tiny gray box. It goes away with a reset, but if I try to install any of my old add-ons (even ones I install newly) it comes back. I've looked for programs installed, but I can't find anything that would have caused this.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} While you are in safe mode;
Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.
Under Advanced, Select General. Look for and turn off Use Hardware Acceleration.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause Firefox issues. Disable All of them.
This let me open them in a new tab again. However, is there a way to figure out which add-on does that? I'd like to keep the ones that don't.
