I email popup isn't working nor can I open pages on a new tab using right-click

I have AOL mail and I view my emails in a pop-up and now I click on the email and nothing happens- I cannot read them. When I am searching for videos or looking at content that is contained in a list I like to open links in a new tab so that I don't have to use the back button. When I right click a link the list is empty.

See my post here: 
Context menu - why "open in new window" is second and "open in new tab" is the first? In FF3.x there is reversed.

When I open new tabs using middle click or "Open link in new tab", the "reload current page" button doesn't work.

Doesn't matter how many times I click it. It just does nothing.

Do you have the Ask toolbar? If you do 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.
If you do not have the Ask toolbar, check for another add-on that could be causing this, for details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Can't open new tab by going to file/new tab (or CTRL+T or clicking on the new tab field). Only way is to right click on a link and choose open in new tab.

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 only open a new tab by right clicking on an item in an already open tab and selecting open in new tab

I can only open a new tab by right clicking on an item in an already open tab and selecting open in new tab. Nothing else works e.g. File, New Tab, or clicking on the New Tab to the right of the last tab.

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

Thank You in advance for help. Best regards

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Please add "open in new tab" in right click context manual for pages in tabs

tab bar pages like google or yahoo. When I want a duplicate page ,
pointing to individual tab & using right click does not have "Open in a new Tab"!
browser like orcabrowser and a few other browser using firefox engine seems to be able to provide this feature.
Thank you.

Thanks. Have used it to move some things around in the menu items. However, it does not let me make the changes on a right-click dialogue box.

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

I can no longer open new tabs, either by clicking on the icon or hitting control T. I have tried reinstalling.

I can no longer open new tabs, either by clicking on the plus sign or by hitting control T. I tried re-installing, but it didn't help.

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 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.

Stop safari from opening new tabs every link click?

Not sure when it started, all I know is that it's been very iritating ever since.
On the pad, phone, mac, and mac book, web browsing has become a pain in the a$$ because every (ok high 90%) on a link opens a new tab on the macs a new browsing window on the phones....in a minute or so the macs have 10 taps open and the phone is maxed out with 8 new windows all on the same thing.
how do i switch this off? I just want the "old?" way where i got one window and the web session can move forward and back at my choosing in the same tab, and if i want to open a tab, i right click on the link and select "open in new tab"
Whatever happened to that? Am I the only one who hates this new way of safari operating?
Thanks.

May have a fix per Bill;
"I am seeing the same problem in Snow Leopard and Safari 5.1.10 as are many other people with various versions of Safari on several forums.
I've done routine maintenance including emptying caches and clearing out cookies. I've changes tab/window preferences to update Safari's plist all without effect. The blank full-screen window in the background has no code. I've even looked for differences in the HTML and CSS from the originating pages gotten from Chrome and Safari. No differences.
The only thing I can remember changing was a Glims update which dated 11/25/13. Since Glims messes with Tabs it is possible.
This is a pain.
Bill"

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 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.
