Right click google search used to open only in a new tab. Now it opens in a new tab and after a moment, the current tab also. Any ideas?

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).

An add-on that was recetnly updated created the problems (a malware blocker which happened to be redundant and not very good). With the add-on gone, everything is back to normal, thanks!!
