It appears that something went amiss in Firefox. I tried to open
something in a new tab and saw nothing. I decided to restart Firefox and
got a warning that I was about to close six tabs. I only saw one, and
there were no other instances of Firefox showing on the desktop or task
bar. After restarting Firefox, clicking on a link in Thunderbird
correctly opened a new tab in Firefox. Right clicking a link on a web
page correctly opened the link in a new tab.
So, I don't know what may have overloaded something in Firefox, but it
appears to be working normally now.
