For Firefox only, i cannot open a new tab, cannot close an open tab, and cannot switch tabs through clicking. I have to use ctrl (shift)+tab and ctrl+f4 to close, and i cannot remember the open new tab shortcut. Internet explorer does not have this problem so i don't believe it's a computer issue. This problem is only for tabs, i can click on bookmarks, add-ons, and everything else in the toolbar. Is there a way to fix this issue or do i have to reinstall firefox?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
