One of my Programs won't OPEN when clicked on - all options in list are faint, not bold like they were, esp. the OPEN button.
In Bookmarks, in Firefox 53.0.2, Windows 10, when I open the Bookmarks, the pull-down Menu has an item I have always been able to Open, with a Right click, on the OPEN word. Now, what happens, is the word OPEN, that was always in Bold print, is Faint, and when I press it, nothing Opens to the Program it is supposed to lead to. I Think, it may be possible, that I pressed a wrong key, with my Left little finger, since the OPEN, BOLD, would work before.

This could be an old bug: when you use the Customize feature, the right-click context menu becomes grayed out on the Bookmarks menu on the classic Menu Bar. As a workaround for that, you can either:
- launch a separate new window (using Ctrl+n or File > New Window), and the menu should be normal there
- use the bookmarks menu that drops down from the main toolbar -- the button is to the right of the star icon
If what you're experiencing doesn't match what I've described, it may be a completely different issue.

I want to Thank You for your Help! I don't know what I did, if anything, to cause this problem.
I think the only thing that causes this problem is opening the Customize panel. You don't even need to make any changes.
Unfortunately, I don't think this bug will get fixed any time soon, there are too many other tasks in the pipeline.
Thanks, once more.
