When I right click on a picture, it doesn't give me the option to copy or to view in another tab as a separate image from the web page it is on. I no longer have the option to spell check. When I highlight text to copy, it doesn't give me an option to copy it but only says "copy link location". I can open a new tab by holding down the control key and clicking the link I want open in a new tab but when I right click and click "Open in new tab" it does nothing. This started happening about a week ago.

I assume this is not a site-specific problem, but affects a wide range of sites?

Can you think of any new software you installed recently? To rule out possible interference by an extension, can you check the following tab and disable ALL nonessential, recently added, and unrecognized extensions? Then restart Firefox and see whether you notice any changes.

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Any difference?

You can try to update to Firefox 21 that has been released today.

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.
