After installing windows updates, new tabs will not open, either on toolbar, ctl t or under file

it will open a new window. Only known on laptop because windows up completely crashed my desktop. Computer hell.

The Ask Toolbar is 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

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

    Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.21) Gecko/20110830 '''AskTb'''AD3/3.12.2.16749 Firefox/3.6.21
    ''''' "and whenever I click on a bookmark, it opens in a new tab automatically" '''''
    Probably caused by an extension, or a couple of extensions that are in conflict with each other. <br />

    Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension, and see how it is.

  • New tab will not open web page

    *error message when opening firefox= "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features."
    *new tabs do not open web pages
    *plugin container.exe and updater.exe do not open or run

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • New tabs will not open despite installing the add on

    Hey! Have I disabled new tab opening somehow? Have looked throughly through menu bars, also installed the suggested add on (new tabs at the end), but the + button to the right of open tabs won't open a new one, nor will ctrl+t or right click new tab. Can right click a link and open it in a new tab. Been a problem for a few months... about time I sought some advice :)
    Cheers, Katrina

    Try uninstalling 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.

  • A new tab will not open when i select the division symbol

    when i select the division symbol at the end of my tabs a new tab no longer opens... it has done previously... how do i get this functionality restored?

    Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13, disable that extension or un-install it.

  • When I click on New Tab a new tab will not open, new window does open, how do I open new Tab? used to work

    New Tab feature no longer works, only new window

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • New tab will not open in newly updated firefox

    When you click on the "+" sign to open a new tab, nothing happens. Same thing when you select "file" and "new tab" or press ctrl+T. I have rolled back this version of firefox three days in a row and it keeps updating to this version.
    I need to be able to open a new tab and access all of my most often used sites. PLEASE HELP. I don't want to go back to IE.

    hello, this is most probably caused by an incompatible addon - in case you have tab mix plus installed, try to update it to its latest version on its homepage...

  • After installing an update my iMac will not start

    I have an old iMac purchased in Feb '06   Intel 2 GHz 20" .  It serves some basic needs and I enjoy the machine.  Recently I was notifyed of an available update from Apple and I downloaded it and installed it.  The machine now comes up to a white screen with the Apple logo in the center and a spinning pinwheel beneath.  I have attempted to force it to a recovery disk, safe mode and disk manager at startup with no results.  I then inserted the installation disk and started it with the same results.  It will not eject the disk.
    I would love to know if there is something else I can do here before taking it into the Apple Geniius.
    Thanks     Jerry

    Paul, thanks for your  suggestions.  Regrettably, none of these procedures helped my problem. Interestingly I just installed the same update on my 3 year old iMac and that same screen came on and remained for an unusual amount of time.  It took an excessive amount of time to finally come back with running apps in place.  A recent update on my MacBook Air went on briskly.  I'm not sure what any of that means but there it is.  By the way - I let the old iMac run with that startup screen for over an hour thinking it may just be old and needs more time.  Being older myself, I felt it couldn't hurt.
    Thanks.  I am not sure what the Genius Bar can do but it seems that is my next move unless someone comes up with a magic bullet out here.

  • After installing Safari andAdobe fireworks CS4 will not open

    I recently purchased the new Mac OS X Snow Leopard and I cant get my Adobe Fireworks CS4 and Safari browser to open. I downloaded safari 5 today thinking that might help my browser but nothing. When I click the Safari icon, it shows it is running and then there but no actually page pulls up. Any ideas what is going on?

    I have been working on this since I posted. The error messaged popped up several times during automatic updates the past couple of days. When I first had the opportunity to update, I selected both iTunes and Quicktime. I received a message iTunes was updated, but there was an error updating Quicktime. I cannot remember the exact message, but it basically said to install the update manually from within Quicktime. I did not do that until I figured out what was going on with iTunes. Anyway, I finally updated Quicktime manually, and after rebooting, I was able to open both Quicktime and iTunes. When I finish working tonight, I will reboot and hopefully, be able to open both again. As of now, iTunes is working. Thanks.

  • A new tab will not open except will when I use Foxfire help. Nothing works. My setting are to open new tabs but it doesn't work. Why?

    Foxfire won't let me open a new tab. I have my setting set to open a new tab. I've clicked on it and nothing happens. I've right clicked and selected open new tab and nothing happens. When I go to Foxfire for help it will open a new tab for help. When I try to use this tab to browse, anything in the other window gets shut down.

    1. In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
    2. In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
    3. In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
    4. Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.
    I found this solution and it worked!

  • After installing, premiere pro 2.0 will not open

    I have adobe premiere pro 2.0. I wanted to use it on my new asus laptop. However it told me I needed to activate it but since premiere pro 2.0 is so old the website had told me to download the one with a new serial number to which I did. Now after installing, the programs begins to open but doesn't, what should I do?

    The one with the new serial number is CS2.
    Is this where you downloaded it from?
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Which operating system? Win 8.1?

  • New tabs will not open

    I cannot open a new tab from the file menu nor from the new tab "+" to the right of my page. It will only open a new tab when directed there as part of a link from something I may click.
    Thank you!

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
