Cannot open a URL in a new tab using a bookmarks submenu

I have just been upgraded to v 35.0. Before the upgrade, I could navigate from my bookmarks menu to a sub-menu, and hover over a URL. A right click brought up a context menu that allowed me to Open, Open in a New Tab, Open in a New Window, etc.

After the update, the only options available are Open. The rest of the sub-menu is grayed out. Is the only option now to open a new tab manually and then navigate thru sub-menus to open a site?

Thanks.

That should not happen.

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?
