New tab on clicking link opened earlier today but not since Firefox updated itself to 17.0.1. When I click on a link, the page just jumps, but the new tab doesn't open. It will open if I right click the link, which I shouldn't have to do. How can I (or can I) unflub this bug? Thanks

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

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.
