Can't open new tab by clicking + button or from File

I am unable to open new tab by clicking the + box or even from File - New Tab. It has been working perfectly but failed since last week. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the program but the trouble seems remaining unchanged.Is my Firefox affected by virus or something else? Please help! it is so inconvenient.

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

  • I can't open new tabs by clicking on the plus sign, or in file new tab

    Whereas previously it was possible to open a new tab by clicking on the "plus" sign at the right of the last open tab, or by selecting "file" and "new tab", neither of these options work. New tabs will open for a new webpage, but a "blank" will not appear.

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

  • I can not open new tabs witht the + button

    When I click on the + button next to the last tab, a new tab will not open. Also, if I right-click on a tab and chose NEW TAB, a new tab will not open. I can open a new tab by right-clicking in a web page, or by right-clicking on a link in my favorites toolbar. This feature was working and just stopped. I have reboot, and even re-installed firefox.

    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.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I can't open new Tabs on the botton position?

    Hello. After upgrading to Firefox v.7 from v.5 I can't open new tabs when on the bottom. Also in any webpage, in an area of about an inch below the "tabs" line does not work. Example: on the Firefox "Help" page I can not sign-in/register if I want to "contribute" & I can not use any of the buttons under the title "NEED HELP WITH FIREFOX?". When on the Yahoo home page none of the buttons above the Yahoo "search bar" and the "search bar" itself works.
    I have been trying to get someone on Live chat since 9:00 with no avail.

    The Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause this issue. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs - + sign closes app

    Safari ios7 issues on iPad Air - can't open new tabs or view other tabs.
    The + sign just closes the app every single time!
    In some cases, the back and forward buttons don't work.
    It's driving me crazy becuase if the webpage I'm on opens and ad or tab that I don't want to look at, I can't close it and go back, I have to retype the web address in and find where I was on the site!

    I, too, tried all the fixes...nothing worked.
    Found another thread on this forum and looks like a lot of us are having same problem.
    Next time it happens, go to SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT and check to see it there is a "low memory" incident report.
    If there is:
    See the discussion thread "iPad Air Low Memory Crashes".
    Seems to be common....this could turn into a HUGH issue.

  • I just updated to Firefox 17.0.1 and now I can't click on a bookmark to open it or open new tab when clicking new tab button.

    In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!

    After I posted this, I restarted with add ons disabled and it worked..deleted a cpl of addons for compatibility checking and that fixed it.

    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''

  • Opening new tab when clicking link

    Out of the blue, firefox suddenly started opening links from Google and Yahoo search engines in a new tab instead of going directly from the original tab. I've tried tapping the control and shift keys, restarting firefox, and restarting the computer (just to make sure); nothing works. Strangely enough, it's only these two having this problem, so I'm wondering if they've updated their own settings to force this.

    Did you check the settings on the Google preferences page?
    For the Google website you can set your preferences on the Google.com page via the gear icon at the top right.<br />
    Click that button to open the menu list and select Search settings.
    * http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en
    Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Since the 3.6.23 update, I can't open new Tabs manually, but apps can. What happened?

    If I click on the new-Tab "+" nothing happens. If I select New Tab from the File menu or type Ctrl-T, nothing happens. But apps opening new windows (in prefs, I ask they open new windows as Tabs), new Tabs appear as usual.
    I've checked my Options, nothing seems to preclude manually opening new Tabs, so I'm at a loss.

  • Can't open new windows if clicking on a link!

    For some reason I can't open new windows if I clic on a link. It's alright if it opens in a new tab, but if it opens in a new window, the window that opens is just blank. I have no idea why it's doing so, it started a couple of weeks ago, and it's very annoying. I guess it has something to do with securityoptions, but I haven't been able to sort it out. Would be very glad if anyone should have an answear to this!
