New window opens with only window frame and no search box or scroll bar
Hi, This started recently - every time I click on a link, it now opens in a window with only a frame - no scroll bar or search box. I would like my Firefox to go back to how it was per my preference - i.e link opens in new window, which is exactly like a normal window with a scroll bar visible on the right hand side and bottom and the search bar on top, next to the address bar. Please help! Thanks!

Type about:customizing<enter> in the address bar. Look for Show / Hide Toolbars at the bottom left.
Sorry, there is a bug in Firefox 38 with this combination of circumstances:
(1) You are viewing a page in a private browsing window (2) Tabbed browsing is turned off (3) You click a link which launches the link in a new window (because the site coded the link with target="_blank")
The new window opens without menus, toolbar, scroll bars, etc.
Work on this bug is in process, but I don't know if the fix will be available in the next few weeks. These are the currently known workarounds so you can keep using private browsing windows -- any one of them will work around the bug:
(1) Use tabbed browsing (this is a checkbox under Preferences > General > "Open new windows in a new tab instead");
(2) Shift+click links to open them in a new window with the standard features; or
(3) Change a bunch of hidden settings as explained below -- this will not require you to make any changes to how you use Firefox, but you might occasionally need to enlarge some small pop-up windows that were sized for a window with no toolbars displayed.
For #3, here are the steps:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste feat and pause while the list is filtered
(C) For every preference that starts with dom.disable_window_open_feature. if it is not "true", double-click it to switch it to true.
You may find that you prefer this anyway, since sites can no longer strip these features out of pop-up windows.
