Firefox upgraded to V 38 - Now whenever I follow a link, it opens up a window that is missing all of the navigation. No address bar, No home button, no up-down slide bar.

Also, all buttons are disabled. Cannot use the arrow buttons to move up and down, nor do any of the alt or F-keys work.

Chosen solution

You can check the dom.disable_window_open_feature prefs on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

There is nothing listed in the option for this, but going to the About:config page and using the commands above, got it back to how it is supposed to be.


Thank you
