Firefox won't open bookmarks in new tabs any more

I've been using Firefox with Tab Mix Plus under Fedora Linux for a long time. Suddenly, if I right-click on a bookmark and select Open in New Tab, nothing happens. I've tried using the keyboard shortcut but it doesn't do any good. However, if I rght-click on a link I can open it in a new tab.

Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Yup, it worked fine in Safe Mode. And, when I restarted with everything, it still worked. Probably one of the things I'd had to reset in Tab Mix didn't take effect until then. Weird.
