lost options

the pheonix · 05-22-2009, 09:51 AM

Under firefox, bookmarks. When I click on bookmark and the menu drops down, when I right click i no longer have the box that offers open in a new tab or window. I went to tools , went to add-ons and disabled all still did not correct the problem. What other causes could there be?

Does the menu not come up at all, or just that option isn't in the list?

I don't get the box at all. I get the box that you receive if you right click on any regular page ( not like a right click on a bookmarked item): Back, save page as, send link, etc. Every once in a blue moon a click will work the way it supposed to like after turning it back on and then it's back to the same old routine. It's a conundrum most certainly!

Have you tried a reinstallation of firefox?

No that's not a bad Idea.I'll try that!

Backup your stuff first

Not sure how to do that especially my bookmarked sites. How is this accomplished?

I'm downloading now, I had gone to bookmark, organize and backup but I'm assuming that it only covers bookmarks. I hope it's pretty self explanatory how to reinstall the backup after the fact!
