    Can No Longer Send Link

    Immediately after the update of Firefox I can no longer send a link.
    Previous to the update, I would simply click file, then send link. Now nothing happens. Any insight into this will be appreciated.
    My present version of Firefox is Namoroka

    Thanks

    If you haven't already done so, I'd close Firefox, then try renaming your hidden .mozilla folder, then restart Firefox so the folder can rebuild itself. If that fixes things, you can reclaim your bookmarks from the renamed folder.

    I am new to Ubuntu, please advise on how to rename the hidden folder.

    Open the Nautilus File Manager
    Look in the Nautilus menus for "Show Hidden Files" and enable that
    Navigate to your /home folder and rename the .mozilla folder to something like .mozillaOLD

    Notice that there is a dot in front of mozilla. That's shows that it's a hidden file that can't normally be seen in Nautilus without enabling it to show hidden files.
