Creating a new tab on the browser, how can i it isn't working now?

Before mozilla changing their browser, I could click the + sign at the top of the page and a new tab would appear. Now I do that and nothing appears. I do not want several browsers on my screen, I like the multi-tab option. That way I can switch back and forth from the different screens and complete my work much easier. Someone mentioned clicking on a link and right clicking but I dont always have a link to click to do that and that option doesn't always appear when I right click. Please help. Thank you for your time and help with this issue.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • Double click on the left arrow on the tab bar creates a New Tab at the right hand end.

    With Firefox 29.0.1 double clicking on either the left or right hand arrows in the tab bar creates a new tab at the right hand end of the tab bar. This is annoying behaviour that violates standards around UI design single click and double click. A double click should extend the behaviour of the single click rather than doing something completely different (opening a new tab). An example would be , in Word a single click selects a word, a double click selects the sentence and a triple click selects the paragraph. Note that this is a separate issue from double clicking on the tab bar itself to create a new tab.
    When there are more tabs on the tab bar than will fit in the viewport the tabs scroll sideways so show the tab in use. I can click the left and right arrows at the ends of the tab bar to scroll the bar in that direction to bring a tab that I want to select into view. I believe that double clicking the left arrow would scroll the bar fully right, exposing the left-most tab. Double clicking the right arrow would scroll the bar fully left exposing the right-most tab.
    This is a logical and expected extension of the behaviour of the single click. Single click - scroll once (seems to be about three tab's worth), double click - scroll all the way.
    At the moment, if I want to scroll to the left-most tab I have to click the arrow slowly and carefully until I reach it. I used to single click rapidly on the left arrow until the tabs stopped scrolling without having to count how many clicks. It's possible that my rapid single clicks were actually double clicks. Nevertheless, the tab bar would stop scrolling when it reached the end.
    Now the behaviour is really annoying and unexpected. A double click on the left arrow scrolls the tabs fully right and then fully left and creates a New Tab at the right hand end. Ditto the right hand arrow in the opposite direction.
    While I can (maybe) see that value of a double click on the tab bar itself creating a new tab, double clicking one of the scroll arrows should not produce a new tab.
    Double clicks on the tab arrows should scroll the tab bar fully to that end. If the tab bar is already fully scrolled to that end then additional clicks (single, double and triple...) should be ignored.
    I like the idea of opening a new tab to the right of the one that currently has focus. This should be a right click context menu option.

    That shouldn't happen if you click the scroll buttons on the tab bar.
    A double-click should act as page up/down and move a full screen and a triple-click should move to the far left (first tab) or the far right (last) tab.
    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

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,

  • Opening new tabs makes the browser window wider

    when opening a new tab in safari
    it makes the browser window bigger (at the bottom)
    but not only at the bottom actually
    after a few close-open's it also starts growing at the top
    and for me it's unacceptable cause there are folders that i need fulltime access to (at the top)
    is there a way (a script) to prevent safari "grow" and make the browser window bigger in a while ?
    i don't really know why is it happening because if you press cmd+t it opens a new tab and the browser window kinda slides bigger at the bottom but then if you press cmd+w it does the opposite and the browser window stays the same size after those actions
    i can't follow but after some time it starts to be bigger not only at the bottom
    it grows til the dock and then starts growing at the top
    is there a way to prevent that ?
    i mean take opera for example. it always stays the same size and new opened tabs take the "inside space" if you know what i mean. the browser window doesn't get bigger. there is space allocated especially for tabs
    i like safari but it is very important for me that it stays the same size all the time
    i have all windows and folders situated exactly where i want them and if something moves and covers other items, it gets uncomfortable
    thank you

    (i have 'secrets' app installed and it makes pop up windows open in the same browser window, so it might be becasue of that)
    Yes, it sounds like this is the cause.
    Some pop-up window code forces the new window to be a certain size. Since it's intended to open in a new window, that normally wouldn't cause problems. But you're forcing the pop-up to open as a new tab in the current window, which causes the current window to be resized to that new page's defined size.

  • How to open the url in a new tab of the Browser

    Hi ,

    Hi,
    You can try using "goLiink" and then use the property targetFrame set to "_blank"; below are some for ur references:
    targetFrame          
    _blank: The link opens the document in a new window.
    _parent: The link opens the document in the window of the parent. For example, if the link appeared in a dialog window, the resulting page would render in the parent window.
    _self: The link opens the document in the same page or region.
    _top: The link opens the document in a full window, replacing the entire page.
    Thanks,

  • Why, suddenly can't I create a new tab through the "file' drop down or by using the "add a tab" button.

    The only way I can create a new tab right now is to right click on a link in the current tab and ask it to "open in new tab".

    This problem in is Firefox on your Mac?
    May users have discovered this problem is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
    You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Command+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
    You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.

  • I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success.  Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

    Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug)  I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years.  I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

    YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!  I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

  • Opening pages in new tabs is slow and switches to the new tab and back. How can I stop this?

    I work with a lot of tabs and most of the time, I need pages in new tabs to open fast. Recently, whenever I open a page in a new tab, Firefox goes to the new tab for a second, then back to the tab I was on previously, although I have it set to not automatically go to new tabs. This is slowing me down and I'd really like it to stop. I've even tried just having one tab open.

    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:
