Lost right click send link, had to go back to ver 12 how do I make it work in ver 16 ?

Back in earlier builds of Firefox Like Build 12 I could right click mouse on any desktop web browser screen and a menu would appear with an option of Send Link and if clicked on it Thunderbird would open and show address book and screen would show the hyperlink with a subject of what is being sent.
I.E. found a great deal on product X for my friend and want him to go to web site so I right click and send link
not a picture of the page.
Build 16 will not do this any more is there a switch that needs to be turned on ? is the a change I could bake in ABOUT:Config ?
Help Please
Barry

First update back to Firefox 16.0.2, as staying on older versions leaves you extremely vulnerable to security holes.
Then try using [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/email-this https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/email-this]

When I click send link my yahoo programme will not let me acess yahoomail

I have had to use the computer default now but I would like to use my own email. I have checked yahoo is the default mail in firefox. BT cannot solve this problem and say it is due to firefox

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

I have lost right click - auto open in new tab

When I right click a link I used to get the page opened in a new tab automatically, this stopped several updates ago. I have been trying to fix it but have had no joy. There is a solved problem on the forum but I don't run any of the addons that seemed to cause that users problem. I would really like to get this feature back, I have tried living without it but I feel as a bit of functionality is missing all the time.
Windows 7
Firefox 30

In case you didn't know, clicking the scroll wheel on your mouse will open links in new tabs.
As jscher2000 is saying above, this was never a Firefox feature. This feature was most likely included with an addon that you had installed. I have looked at the ''Tabbrowser Preferences'' extension and this seems to have this function. 
More than likely, the addon was disable by Firefox because it was not compatible with a new version of Firefox, but I can confirm that it is now compatible and you should be able to enable it once again.

When right click on link in search page it takes me to where it wants not page

If I search from au.yahoo.com or google (search pages I always use), it brings up a list of suggested sites. If I right click on one of the suggested links and choose to open in new tab or just click on the link, it won't take me to the page listed. It seems to take me to what other site it suddenly feels like taking me to. There is no set site it takes me to, just a huge variety of them. I have done a registry clean, I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, I have done a pc clean and have run malaware program.

If you right-click the link and use Copy Link Location, then paste into the address bar, and press Alt+Enter, does Firefox load the correct site in the new tab? If so, it does unfortunately sound like the nasty malware sometimes called the Google Redirect Virus. This recent thread has a lot of suggestions: [https://support.mozilla.com/nl/questions/873812 90% of the time I get redirected to a destructive site (according to WOT) when I click on a search result. | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

Right-clicking on links and selecting "Open Link in New Tab" opens a blank tab.

Seems like opening links in new tabs just doesn't work in any fashion. I right-clicked a link (several, actually) to open it in a new tab. It opened a blank tab. No sign of ever acknowledging the link, nothing in the URL bar. Just blank.
Wonder if this is related to my earlier question about opening links from Thunderbird being broken as well...

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

I right click a link to open it in a new tab and it doesn't load the web page.

In firefox 4 I right click a link and go to open in new tab but it doesnt load the link it loads a Bing search instead. This is very frustrating, how can i fix this?
And why can't i access my add-ons? When i click add-ons it just opens a new tab.

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab"?

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab."
I click ctrl+t, click the new tab button, right click the tab bar and hit "new tab", and even click "File" and hit "New Tab", but it still won't open a tab!
This has been going on for a week!
I know it may not seem like too much of a problem since I can still open a tab, but it's terribly inconvenient that I can only open one by clicking a link.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Unable to right click a link and open in a New Window

Hello,
I've been having problems with FF when I right click a link on any site, and I want to "Open Link in New Window", but it never happens. Then I tried to right click the same link and I "Open Link in New Tab", which works. What happened? Did the programmers/developers change something? I even tried it in "Safe Mode" with the same problem. Can anyone suggest anything? I almost tried everything imaginable, even running Windows 7 Ult SP1 in Safe Mode as well, with no help.
Thank You.
David

Note that such issues are likely caused by one of the extensions that isn't working properly.
So if it happens again then start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
*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.

Right-Clicking a link to Open in a New Tab

I got used to opening a link in a new tab by right-clicking the link and typing T. Nice and fast, much more convenient than using the mouse to click on the Open in a New Tab choice.
Sometime within the past few months that stopped working. Now to force open a link in a new tab, I have to click on the choice with the mouse. The "T" key doesn't work.
Is there any way to restore that functionality? Believe it or not, for a tiny, picky thing, I really miss it.

I have found the culprit!
The Add-on Copy as Text uses a right click on selected text with a hot key of T to copy the text. If I disable that, the normal functionality to open a link in a new tab works with right-click-T.
Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this!!

You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons
