After updating my browser my "open a new tab" button has become useless, how do I fix this?

I recently updated to Firefox 3.6.17 and now my "Open a new tab" + button has become useless, it is still there, it just doesn't work anymore, how can I fix this, any suggestions?

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

  • Some links like youtube open in new tab but never have before, how do I fix this?

    All of a sudden, when I go to youtube or really anything. It opens it in a new tab when it never did before. It would only open in new tab when I told it to or when I clicked on a url. I really don't know a lot about this so if somebody could help me that would be great.

    Did you check the settings?
    *Tools > Options > Tabs: [X] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Running Firefox 11.0 on WinXP about:config value browser.newtab.url is missing and no way to load new tabs with home page. How do I fix this ?

    Every tab opened from new tab box opens blank. there is no value in about:config to change. Can browser.newtab.url be added ?

    # Download the Addon above.
    # After it installs, go to the Firefox Menu or Tools > Addons > Extenstions > Custon New Tab > Prefrences Button
    # A new window should show like this. Type in what you want to load on a new tab.

  • The botton to open a new tab is not working. How I can solve this issue?

    the bottom next to the tabs, the one that opens a new tab fast is not working, also the ctrl+T keyboard command is not working also. The only way to open a new tab is right click on the mouse, but always on some link, I can not open a new blank tab.
    Thanks

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • I am running Firefox 4 - when I open a new tab, my recent history shows - how can I get this to work in Firefox 6?

    When opening a new tab, by clicking the + sign, in FF4, recent history and frequented web pages appear. I cannot get this to repeat in later versions of FF - 5 or 6. I like this feature - can I utilize it in FF6? I am running Vista Home Premium 6.06002 SP2 on a Gateway (emachines) T5246 Athlon 64 4200+ 2.2mHz dual core with 2 GB RAM.

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

  • Browser keeps opening with previous tabs from day before. How do I stop this?

    Under Tools>Options>General I have the browser set when I open the browser to "open up a blank page" but it keeps opening up previous tabs from the day before. How can I stop this? I read the forum boards but either did not find it or overlooked the answer. I checked all my other settings and cannot find anything that would be causing this. Please advise?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.

  • When I attempt to open a pdf it does not open and then it opens a new tab over and over again, how do I stop this?

    When clicking on a pdf file it does not open and then it opens hundreds of tabs. The only way to stop it is to shut off the computer.

    You probably have an incorrect action type set for pdf files, it will be set to "use Firefox" rather than using a pdf application such as Adobe Reader. For details of how to fix this see the "Change the action for a content type" section of https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+keeps+opening+many+tabs+or+windows

  • After I got the update I now have 10GB of new 'other' info on my iPhone, how do I fix this?

    I don't know why it happened.  I had far less than 1GB before this and now I have over 10GB.  All of it was added to the 'other' category and I have no idea of how to get rid of it, where to remove the 'other' information.  I'm getting frustrated because I can no longer listen to my music from my phone.
    Please help me, if you know what happened!

    You will need to go to settings on your iPhone, go to the bottom and reset.  This is the only thing that can fix this.  The bad part is, your I phone will go back to factory settings.  I had to do this on my ipad

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

  • When I click on the "Open a new tab" button, nothing is happening. I've checked my settings but everything is fine, what's wrong?

    Just a couple days ago all of a sudden the "Open a new tab" button wasn't working and even going into "file" and then "open new tab" it doesn't open a new tab. I have to go into my bookmarks and right click "open in new tab" for any new tab to open. I've checked my settings and nothing is there about it. Is there anything that I can do to fix it?

  • Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?

    Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?
    When I click, type or use the File menu or try right-clicking mouse to open a new tab, nothing happens. However I am able to open links in a new tab.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.
    How do I "disable" or "un-install it"?
