open new window: 1st try does nothing; close repeat process and window opens (everytime); why?
When I try to open a link by right clicking, open new window, my first attempt always does not follow the link and the new window is blank (everytime). I close the blank window, repeat the open link in new window and it actually works and opens the link in the new window. This never used to happen, and for about the last two weeks or so, this has been a source of irritation.

Try the Firefox SafeMode.
A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)
- You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or use the Help menu item, click on Restart with Add-ons Disabled... while Firefox is running.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
