an add-on stopped working randomly

more options

I have an add-on that lets me right-click links and they instantly open in a new tab. For some reason, this has stopped working a bout 10 minutes ago. I've tried disabling and re-enabling it, tried downloading a newer version, restarted firefox, restarted the computer, and nothing makes it work again. This isn't the first time I've had this issue either, I've had a similar issue with Ad-blocker, but got that to work be reinstalling it.
