How do I open a new tab? None of the options work for me.

I've tried:
1. Clicking the "+" icon next to my current tab
2. Going to "File -> New Tab"
3. Using the "Ctrl - T" keyboard shortcut
4. Restarting Firefox
5. Restarting my computer (Windows 7 laptop)
6. Downloading all possible updates -> Restarting my computer
... Opening a link on the current web page DOES work...

The Ask Toolbar has been causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:

    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • How do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

    how do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

    Try Ctrl+t
    Most of the shortcuts should be listed on the full menus. To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key or press F10.
    Oops, sorry, Ctrl+k duplicates the current tab. To do that in Firefox, click in the URL of the page and press Alt+Enter.
    There also might be an add-on that creates a more convenient method.

  • How do I open a new tab from address line?

    How do I open a new tab from address line?

    You Will have to hold down the Alt key and press Enter to make the link open in a new tab without using an extension.
    By default links always open in the same tab.
    You can search the Add-ons website for an extension if you want to change this default behavior.

  • When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • How can I open a new tab not right next to the one I open from but next to the last?

    Before I switched to the current version of Firefox, the new tab that I would open, was opening right after the last open tab previously opened.
    Now if I have 4 tabs open and I open a new tab from inside the first one, the new tab opens as number 2 tab.
    Is there an option that toggles the opening sequence ?

    A couple of methods, first use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. The second method involves changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''related'''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to '''false'''

  • How do I get a Vista 64 bit XP machine to show a "+" icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" and the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar?

    I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on two laptops, one with Windows Vista, 64 bit and the other with Windows XP. Both machines have the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar. The XP machine also has a + icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" while the Vista machine does not have that + icon. I like using that; is there any way to get it on the Vista machine?

    After weeks of trying, I stumbled on the solution:
    # Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
    # At the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window, there are additional options for changing the appearance of the icons in your toolbars. From the Show drop-down menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars — Icons, Text, or Icons and Text together. By default, Firefox just shows Icons.
    # Select Icons and Text
    # When you are finished making changes, click Done to close the Customize Toolbar window.

  • Is there any shortcut to open a new tab next to the focused one? Ctrl+T opens it at the end of all tabs.

    Hi, I have read the article about shortcuts, I didn't know all of that was possible.
    But I did not find the only thing I was looking for.
    I generally have lot of tabs open.
    So often I need to open a new tab next to the one I am working in (the one with focus).
    But when I press ctrl+t the new tab is opened at the end of all other tabs, and I need to move it where I want.
    Is there a quickest way to open it directly there, next to the one with focus?
    Thanks

    Hi again
    I think an addon may provide the service you are looking for. I looked about and found a few . Hope it meets your needs.

  • "open a new tab" buttton on the toolbar does not insert new tab after current

    I want the open a new tab button at the right end of the tab bar to open a new tab after the currently open tab the same way the browser does when the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent profile option is set to true.
    This current behavior is VERY annoying as I always have many tabs open and then have to scroll all the way to the right of the tab bar and drag the new tab back to where I want it, which is always following the currently active tab.
    Not sure if this was ever supported but if not I used to run Tabberwoky which no longer works and I've become quite fond of the feature and I need to make Firefox 8 do this.
    Please tell me how, not that I can't or should do it some other way.
    Thanks.

    That did it! Sure saves me trying to figure out how to write an extension to do it but if there is a simple example similar to my request that the source code is available for so I can take a look at it to see how its done the link to it would be appreciated.
    Thanks for the help!

  • When I open a new window, none of the UI changes I make regarding add-ons are there.

    When I open a new window, none of the UI changes I make regarding add-ons are there. They all disappear from all new windows and cannot be re-added unless I restart my computer, where I can put the elements on ONE window again. This has happened consistantly with every ui modifying element from all of my addons. Please help as I need these elements on every new window and hate tabs.

    If you haven't done that yet then create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

    You can change a preference to make tabs open
    # at the end of all open tabs
    # immediately after the current tab.
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
    *Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
    *If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
    *Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
    *Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
    *Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
    *Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)
