I think it's a new feature from the recent upgrade that allows you to drag a tab down from the tab row and that automatically puts it in a new window. I HATE THIS FEATURE as I am constantly doing it accidentally, then having to drag the tab back to the original window. Maybe I'm just a lazy clicker, but still... Any advice? Thanks!

Any workarounds there? Thanks. This is great, but it does not work on Windows 7, because of folder restrictions. Any workarounds there?

Well I am NOT an expert in this but I would imagine you can add them in the <b>reverse</b> order you are able to remove "open in new window" (makes sense doesn't it?). So, go to your userchrome.css file <b>(make a backup first)</b> and then add : /* Show "ADDTHENAMEOFYOUROPTIONHERE" when right clicking */ #context-openlink {display: none !important;} If that doesn't work, another alternative is to install an extension called <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/710" rel="nofollow">Menu Editor</a> and try adding the missing options that way. If THAT doesn't work, you may have to consider re-installing your Firefox browser. How did they manage to disappear in the first place?
