Javascript windows don't appear after clicking on a link that opens a new window

When I try to click on a link that opens up a new window (like to put an image into a Tumblr post or use an item on Neopets (don't judge me)), it won't. At the bottom left hand corner of the page, it says "javascript:;" or "javascript:void" or something like that.

Relatedly (I think), Firefox won't open a new window, even if I press ctrl+N or manually click on 'New Window' in the menu.

Safe mode disables the installed Extensions and themes (Appearance) in Tools (Alt + T) > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also disabled (the manual setting is in Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Use hardware acceleration when possible). You can try to isolate the cause by disabling/enabling suspicious add-ons or trying it in groups.

It doesn't happen in Safe Mode, the windows open just fine.

Thank you, it was Greasemonkey causing the problem.

Damn, I like Greasemonkey.

Oh, well, it wasn't working anyways.
