When using Mac OS virtual screens and FF is open in one of the V-Screens there is not way to open another FF window without having to go to the virtual screen where the first window is then moving the new FF Window to the v-screen you want to work in. PUT THOSE 2 OPTIONS BACK IN THE POPUP MENU FOR MAC OS DOCK. Since your recent release this has made using FF unpleasant, it is a pain in the a-- to use. I've included a screen shot of what Safari has and what FF no longer has. Safari still has the "New Window" and New Private Window" which disappeared from FF in the last update.

In case you don't know with Mac OS you can create multiple desktops where each can contain different apps open. It is a nice way to group apps being used on the same projects together while keeping the projects apart. By removing those 2 options that I've mentioned from the FF Dock Icon just makes it a pain to use.

Hi, please try a Refresh but Note that this does more than uninstalling and re-installing does. Normal uninstalling does not remove some preferences which may have become corrupt. Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

then

TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:

If is your Profile :

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Are you running Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode (Always use Private Browsing mode; Never Remember History) in case that makes a difference?
