Whenever I right click on any link the link gets opened in new tab
Whenever I right click on any link, along with context menu pop up (Correct property) the said link also gets opened in new tab (next to running tab in background : wrong property) Initially I thought it is due to one of the add-on installed on searching I find I installed add-on Right Link so I removed it still instead of just opening context menu the link also was getting opened as described so I reinstalled the add-on Right Link and tried to disable it via option provided by them (A status bar button, F2, a tool menu option) and confirmed in about:config that value of extensions.rightlinks.enabled;false, still could not stop opening link when I right click on it
Now I wonder whether the said add-on is culprit or any other add-on is responsible for this behavior ?

Hi,
Please also try to Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults and Make Changes and Restart in the Firefox Safe Mode start screen.
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).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thanks vivek.wilfred and cor-el for such fast suggestions.
I tried as suggested by vivek.wilfred "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults and Make Changes and Restart" still problem persist.
But in Safe Mode as suggested by cor-el the firefox is working correctly, and I am using default theme. So I think it is some add-on which is culprit.
Now I think I have to disable all my 300 add-ons and one by one installing them, I have to check which one is causing the problem
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
- Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
- Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
You can first strict the enabling to tab related extensions and extensions added by security software.
If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem. Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.
It was one of the extension "Tab Utilities" not updated to Firefox version 11 but still not got disabled automatically and causing the problem. When I manually disabled it, I regain my default behavior.
This solved my problem. Thank you once again for your prompt answers.
