External apps not opening new tabs

I am currently trying to update my Tomtom Satnav by adding "community" items. In theory when using the "My Tomtom" program, on clicking the "Add Community Content" bar, it should open up a new tab in my browser, whether it be FIrefox or I.E. It is doing neither.
I'm currently using Firefox build 24.0 in a Windows Vista environment. What should I do?

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

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

Will not open new tab when clicked on the + next to open page

firefox does not open new window when I click on the new tab +

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

I can not open new tabs in my current window. I have to open a whole new session to open additional web pages. Links work and will open in separate tabs, but I can not start a new tab. Please advise!!!!!

Firefox not open new tabs

My Firefox not open news tabs on popups, and not show bars.
and can't move tabs on popups to main windows.
sorry my bad english

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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).

Firefox 3.6.13 does not open new tabs anymore. Ctrl-T, file- new tab , right click new tab no longer works. Why is this?

No new extensions or add-ons have been installed. And all the features options to open new tabs fail to open a new tab. Can someone tell me how to fix the problem? I'm tempted to downgrade to an earlier version of firefox or reinstall 3.6.13 to see if that fixes the problen.

disabling/uninstalling firebug and restarting firefox does seem to fix the problem. thanks. The next problem is trying to report the problem to firebug. firefox blocks the https://blog.getfirebug.com/2012/10/09/firebug-1-10-4/#respond web site/page because of its certificate, but does not give you an option to accept the certificate anyway.

Firefox will not open new 'tabs', not sure if its disabled, but does anyone know how to enable the use of my tabs?

Firefox will not open any tabs on my browser. I've tried using all alternatives to open a new tab - using the 'plus' (+) button doesn't work, 'control + T' doesn't work, going to File and clicking 'new tab' doesn't work either? Help please!

Your suggestion worked! Thanks!

Firefox does not open new tab

I have been using Firefox 3.6 and it works quite well, except that a week ago it stopped opening new tabs (when you click on the + sign for new tabs). Cannot find any help in the Firefox help pages.
(Before you tell me to upgrade to 4.0, I did that and it crashes at least once a day, which practically never happened with 3.6.)
I'm using a Lenovo T510t and Windows 7

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem with their toolbar that is causing that issue.

⌘T does not open new tab in Finder

In Finder under the File menu, the "New Tab" command has ⌘T as a keyboard shortcut. However, when I use those combination of keys, a new tab does not open. I am currently running Yosemite, but this was also the case when I was running Mavericks. Is there a fix or workaround for this?

Howdy RHPT,
If the Command + T keyboard shortcut is not working correctly, I would check to see if theres a shortcut conflict in your Keypard Preferences. This article will help you do that:
OS X Yosemite: If a keyboard shortcut doesn’t work
See and change keyboard shortcut assignments in Keyboard preferences
It’s possible to have keyboard shortcuts for one app that conflict with another app. For example, Command-Space bar opens the Spotlight menu, but in another app it might be used for switching between different input methods.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Keyboard.
Click Shortcuts. A yellow warning triangle appears next to conflicting keyboard shortcuts. Click the shortcut, then change it.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

View in external browser keeps opening new tabs

Recently, in a failed effort to address the new version's inability to close successfully, I reset Firefox. I seem to have lost another valuable setting, and I can't remember how to recreate it.
I use a peculiar, old html editor. When I ask it to "View in External Browser," naturally it opens Firefox. (I forget whether I created that setting or if it inherited it for me from my default in Windows.) In the past, if I asked to do so more than once, following further edits, it would open in the same tab, or rather in whatever tab was on top. Now, since my reset, it opens a new tab, and I can get a distressing number of them.
What setting have I forgotten to change, presumably in Firefox itself or Tab Mix Plus? Thanks,

As I say, I'm reluctant to change that about:config setting until I have to, since (1) it's not clear to me what it does and (2) I'm dead sure it's not an about:config setting I've ever had to touch before, so it couldn't possibly recreate my former behavior.
Now: I went into Tools, Options, Tabs and made sure that Open Links That Open in a New Window read Current Tab. Still, it was getting weird: even Googling for a site and then clicking on the search find opened a new tab, as if I really want to keep the Google listing. I'm sure I'd never seen that before on multiple computers over the years. Have others? Truly weird what v29 with Reset has done.
Next, I opened Tab Mix Plus Options and found I had the same option, weirdly enough, still set to New Tab, so I changed it. This stopped anything at all from opening in a new tab.
Now, it's progress, but I'm sure my old browser behavior was more intuitive than that. Some things really did open a new tab, such as external links in Facebook posts. I know I can get that from right-clicking, but I didn't have to. Now I'm still confused as to how much Firefox has changed on me in the last three weeks and how much time it has taken to try to adjust it. I've never been clueless at the computer before.

Roboform plugin not opening new tab

With the new update to FF5 and the newest update of RoboForm for FF5, Ive noticed that when I use RoboForm to log into a site, it doesnt open a new tab. It uses the first tab even if Im currently viewing a second tab. I played around with pinning a tab as an app, but I also un-pinned it to see if that was the problem to no avail.

We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
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
