3.6.16 Broke My Tabs!!!! I can't open any new tabs now

This morning I got a automatic Firefox update to 3.6.16. Foolishly I let the thing update.
Now, I can't open any new tabs!!!!!!!! I've tried all three methods. ctrl-t, file new tab, and of course the new tab button on the tab bar.
nothing works. It just ignores it and keeps the one tab open.
I did discover applications can still open a new tab. When I clicked firefox help, it opened in a new tab.
right click, and opening a link in a new tab works too.

Hi cmccloud,
What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?

  • Installed Flash Player 14, now I can't open any new tabs

    This morning (June 11, 2014) I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 14 (because of an upgrade prompt) and now I can't open any new tabs. Links from emails will open new tabs - so will some internet links will open new tabs - but pressing the "+" does nothing. I tried reinstalling Flash Player. I tried downloading and installing a new Firefox.
    Mac OS X - 10.6.8

    If the Flash player plugin currently has the keyboard input focus, then it can intercept Command+t, but that shouldn't affect the new tab button.
    In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
    After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Any difference?

  • Adobe Reader 9 installed but can't open any pdf. file now

    I have been successfully using the Acrobat Adobe 8 with no problem until trying to download the Adobe Reader 9.
    I run on Windows XP.  Ever since downloading Adobe Reader 9....I can no longer use Acrobat Adobe at all.  I can not
    read or open any Acrobat Adobe files .pdf no matter what application was used in creating them or rather they were created by me or someone else.
    I get the error message that Adobe encountered a problem and had to close.  Someone PLEASE help.

    Repairing Acrobat after removing Acrobat Reader worked for me in the past. I would try that first before removing Acrobat.

  • Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

    I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • I can't open any new windows from File [New Tab] and from clicking on [+] , as I usually did. And [Ctrl+T] doesn't work for me.How I can make it to work for me again, please?

    I have to open the next window by right clicking on some link from previous site, who gives, '''''from drop down menu''''', option to [Open link in new tab] and then I can use that "fresh" tab.
    It is my desktop, if it's important to know for help.
    Please, some ideas, how to fix it, will be welcome.
    Thank you.

    Hi, were you able to resolve your problem? If so, please mark this question as '''Solved'''. Thanks !

  • I can not open any new tabs anymore. Any Ideas

    When i click on the new tab button it does nothing even if i right click on it and choose open.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    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

  • Ebook on other PC - can't open on new laptop now despite of adobe ID

    HI,
    I bought an ebook and got the acsm-link.
    I could open it on my old PC, but not anymore on my new laptop, although it says that this should be possible with an adobe ID which I have.
    What can I do to open my purchased ebook again on my new laptop? I've already downloaded Adobe Digital Editions on my laptop.
    Cheers, Martina

    Right (or control) click on a downloaded PDF.
    You will get a menu that says Open With...
    Choose Other...
    In the list that comes up, in Applications, scroll to Preview.
    Check off the box that says "Always Open With"
    Click Open.
    Downloaded PDFs will now only open with Preview.
    As to how to get that to work in Safari I would google Remove Adobe PDF Mac and see if there is an uninstaller. There may be more work involved than just dragging Adobe to the trash.

  • Can't open a new tab using the little + or ctrl t, have tried the options posted befor, can anybody help?

    For the last week or so i have not been able to open a new tab, have looked through a lot of the solutions on here but none seem to have wroked, i have disabled all add ons in the add on manager and removed the ASK toolbar and still can't open a new tab, it is becoming very frustrating!
    The only way i can get a new tab open is to click on a somewhere and hope it opens in a new window, can anyone help me solve this issue please?

  • I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab"?

    I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab."
    I click ctrl+t, click the new tab button, right click the tab bar and hit "new tab", and even click "File" and hit "New Tab", but it still won't open a tab!
    This has been going on for a week!
    I know it may not seem like too much of a problem since I can still open a tab, but it's terribly inconvenient that I can only open one by clicking a link.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.

  • Tabs in Firefox 7 won't work...I can't open a new tab by clicking on the +.....only way to open a new tab is via the FILE/new tab option

    Tabs in Firefox 7 won't work...I can't open a new tab by clicking on the +.....only way to open a new tab is via the FILE/new tab option...it seems like a lot of the options/buttons are non-pressable??

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbYLC/3.11.3.15590

  • I keep seeing this message on my ASUS IPAD and need some help.  "Tab Limit Reached, Can't Open A New Tab Until You Close One".   I need help, please.

    Tab Limit Reached, Can't Open A New Tab Until You Close One.
    How do I close the tabs?

    Asus doesn't make the iPad.  Is this some other tablet?
    Sounds like you have maxed out the browser windows. In the browser app, press the menu or overflow bottom to see if there is an window/tabs options. There you should see a thumbnail image of each tab you have opened and in the corner of each should be a X or minus symbol that you touch to close that tab/window.
