My Firefox was updated to 3.6.10 yesterday (3.6.11 today) and now when I try and use CTRL+N to open a new window, nothing happens. File - New Window doesn't work either.

I can open new tabs

Further update - clicking on a link in an email doesn't do anything either

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

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Thanks for the reply cor-el.

I'm confused now - this morning things still weren't working, but now, without me having done anything it works again.
