Clicking on "+" to open new tab doesn't work

Closeing firefox and restarting doesn't fix problem. Using firefox 3.6 on windows xp, I don't want to upgrade to newer version, since there doesn't not appear to be a navigation bar on the newer version.

Thank you for your response Cor-el. In fact the Ask.com toolbar had recently appeared on my browser, and I immediately turned it off since I didn't want it. It's frustrating how they can sneak these things in on us sometimes in spite of our attempts to keep so much clutter out. So this issue of the new tab button not working anymore in Firefox 3.6, even after turning off the Ask.com toolbar, it was finally enough to make me cave in to the constant badgering to upgrade to Firefox 4.0 ... Christ these endless upgrades are annoying ... Adobe Acrobat Reader has to be the worst offender in this category. Anyway, after installing Firefox 4.0, there was a terrible glitch, which was an error message box that popped up every single time I clicked on any link on any page. This was the last straw. One can only bear so much, then one is forced to look for new answers. I installed Google Chrome. Naturally the interface, look and feel are quite different from Firefox, but after less than 24 hours with Google Chrome, I am really liking it. It is truly a step up in the browsing experience it provides; so fast, and the way it handles bookmarks is so nice; even sophisticated. Oh, and about the relentless nagging upgrade messages from all manner of software that have caused us all so much suffering over the years, Google Chrome upgrades itself automatically behind the scenes without any need to bother you about such trifle maintenance issues. I recommend it to everyone. Step up to a new enlightened browsing experience People! Try Google Chrome and you'll be glad you did!

I am clicking on the open new tab page but nothing happens I am on the latest version of Firefox

as before the open new tab does not work i have checked the other answers to this question and none of them apply i have just updated to the latest version of firefox, every time i do this however I then get problems with Firefox not responding plus Identity Safe does not appear on the toolbar anywhere and I used this all the time to control websites and passwords

Hi,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#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!
If you would like to take a listing of the add-ons, important preferences/settings etc. to quickly replicate the previous profile, please open '''Troubleshooting Information''' via '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H'''), '''Copy all to clipboard''' and paste it into MS Office Excel, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice Calc, or notepad. However, it would be a good idea to check for the existence of the issue immediately after the reset.
After the reset, you can then [https://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Toolbar-Norton-Identity/Firefox-17-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/853416 update Norton products]. Please also see the workaround.

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

The "+" sign which opens NEW TAB has stopped working suddenly. I have to open a new window each time. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing again but the problem still persists. Somebody guide me on this.

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.

How can I remove annoying click sound when opening new tab?

I've already goggled this and it said something about no-script (which I'm not running) and nothing else that sounded remotely close to my issue. Basically anytime I open a new tab (which I do tons of) I get the most obnoxious loud click type sound and it drives me up the walls. I can simply mute the whole browser but then many media players and the like play the audio directly through the browser instead of adobe flash or the like. I just learned it also plays the most annoying sound in the world when I use the spellcheck feature...
Any help on removing this terrible sound file from Firefox would be greatly appreciated... I would hate to have to start using chrome just to get away from this sound.
The only add-ons I use are Adblock Plus 2.6.3, Advanced SystemCare Surfing Protection 1.0 (I assume it installed itself with the actual ASC program), and Leechblock 0.6.6.
All my plugins are off by default unless I manually turn them on the add-on manager window when I start up firefox and the sound plays before I ever activate them.

Did this start when you installed Firefox 30, in other words, Firefox 29 and earlier was fine?
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?

QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

Hi!
I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
This is my feedback.
Thanks!!!!! :)

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

How do I change my tab settings so that opening new tabs doesn't jerk me off the page I'm on!? Trying to find simple answers is like pulling my own teeth!

I think the question is obvious.

In the Options window go to the Tabs panel and de-select the setting "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"

[Open a new tab] doesn't work after the last update!

Firefox just updated today and now all the sudden when I try to press the [+] to open a new tab nothing happens. Mousing over it even says it's still the same button. It's odd and rather inconvenient.
Firefox is updated to Version 29.0.1

Hello,
try to uninstall your Firefox and then reinstall your Firefox.

My new tab doesn't work like before.

Hello, I can't speak English well. Please don't use difficult words.
Before when I clicked on + for open a new tab, a tab opened. On the new tab I could see icons for famous web like Facebook, YouTube, Google , yahoo and ....
But now when I open a new tab I can't see these icons. I want my Firefox becomes like before. Please help me.

I have this problem also. I use Firefox 32.03 on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
At first i thought it was one of the many add-ons i use that was causing this problem, but after restarting Firefox in safe-mode (without any add-on) it still wasn't working properly.
I also tried the same website in Internet Explorer 11 and it works fine there, so it looks like a Firefox bug to me.
I have this problem since i updated Firefox to version 31 from 28.
If it wasn't for the "Classic Theme Restorer" add-on, i probably would have removed Firefox from my machines after being a Firefox user for about 8 years since version 2. What a mess Mozilla made of the Firefox UI... i hate it.
But back on topic: like the maker of this topic said, it doesn't always open de weblink in the same tab, in most cases it works as intended and opens a new tab when i use <CTRL> + <Mouse Left Click> on a weblink.
I hope you can reproduce this problem when visiting this website from a Dutch theme park:
https://www.walibi.com/holland/nl-nl/attracties/thrills
All links on top of this page work fine, but when you use the links at the bottom-side of the photos (Condor, Excalibur, G-Force, Goliath) the webpage will open in the same tab.
If you need more examples of websites, with links that behave like this, i can find some very easily, but this was the last one where i noticed this behaviour.
Hopefully you can fix this bug.

Open new jframe doesn't work when put into jar

I cant get my program to open up a new frame. When i run my program from netbeans it works fine but when i put it into an executable jar it doesn't work. I have three frames, Main, About and SelectLanguage. From Main i can create a new instance of this from this window but it wont open either of the other two. This is the code i use for all three. Please help.
new About().show();please help.
clarkie

well, if that's the code you use for all three, and
they are different classes, maybe you should call the
right class name?
The code you posted isn't helpful, and I can't begin
to guess what you're doing wrong.nah, i use
new Main().show();
new About().show();
new SelectLanguage().show();also, i get this error:

Double clicking to open new tab does not work anymore

Am I loosing my mind?
I have been opening tabs like this for years, now it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
Laura

HI Laura,
Check Safari Preferences then select Tabs. Make sure your preferences haven't changed for that then select the General tab. Check your tabs prefs there also.
If nothing is amiss there, go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
If that doesn't help, from the Safari menu bar click, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Also, if you have any Safari Extensions installed or Safari third party unsupported add-ons, that could be why you are having problems with your Tabs.
For troubleshooting third party add-ons, follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
You can access Safari Extensions in the Safari / Preferences pane.

I've done something and Firefox don't open tabs when I click on the open new tab and when I click on right click there is a lot of options..

Wheb I click right click there's a lot of option, before I use to have just a few. I wish that I can send you a photo how that looks.

You can't attach a screenshot to the first post that starts a thread, but you can do that in subsequent replies.
You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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

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!
