I am reporting 2 bugs.
Since today I am not able to directly get a window popup as I click on the proper link of my bank. The new window is listed in the "Window" menu and as I click on the item, it is displayed. But not automatically

Moreover after adding one or few (number not reproducible but smaller than 5)
bookmarks I am not able to use the "right" button of my mouse anymore (the appropriate menu does not show up) and I am not getting the popup window that asks me to save the bookmark or not. This time the "window" is listed in the Window menu, but if I click on the choosen item, the window does not get displayed.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to add bookmarks
2. at a certain point one of the links, just get added to my bookmarks but I am not asked about
3. I am not able to add anything, not to "copy" the link in copy buffer
Actual Results:  
not able to add items to bookmarks, not able to use the "right" button of the mose to choose actions, need to restard firefox to cure the problem

after I reach the situation of not being able to add a new bookmarks, and not being able to have even the right-click menu, if I click (left button) holding down the alt/option key, I am asked if I want to save the link. If I say no, I get immediately after the standard popup-input request about adding a new bookmark to the list and, I can add it. This helps for one or up to 4-5 add-new-bookmark operations, then I find myself in the same situation as before.
I am, in this way, allowed in this way to proceed and work without quitting and restarting firefox, so it is better, but still not a solution.

pretty sure this issue is due to some add-on doing weird things, try safe mode http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode.
