File - New Tab command don't work. Ctrl+T also don't work anymore.

Suddenly Ctrl+T and File -> New Tab stop working. But I can open new tab by right mouse click on URL.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Other things that need your attention:
Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

  • I can no longer open a new tab either by clicking on it or using the File/New tab command.

    I used to be able to open a new tab by clicking on the plus sign to the right of already open tabs. For some reason this function has stopped working. I have also tried "File/New tab" with equal lack of success.

    Try uninstalling 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.

  • When I click on the "new tab" button, or when I click "file, new tab" it doesn't work, also when I click ctrl + T it doesn't open a new tab. I miss my tabbed browsing - ideas?

    I have recently upgraded firefox, but this issue began yesterday, before the upgrade. I was hoping the upgrade would correct it, no such luck.

    uninstalling the ask toolbar worked for me as well. i wish i would have looked here before I uninstalled the Beta version of Firefox 4.

  • When I have a page of search results, if I right click and choose "open link in new tab" it doesn't work anymore. It churns and then nothing. Or - another page opens ....like an ad for Maxim or something.

    until recently everything worked fine.
    running xp with two profiles (mine/wife's)
    wife's profile has virus, tried using Malwarebytes but I think we still have problems. As an aside, the Malwarebytes db won't update
    Program_Error_Updating(12007,0,WinHttpSendRequest)
    I suspect all three are related.

    Try disabling Firebug and see how it is.

  • Why doesn't New Tab command work? Or clicking + sign in tab bar?

    I looked at the answer to the + sign not working. But could not understand what exactly was the solution. The File>New Tab command is the same as clicking the + sign. Neither work for me UNLESS I launch Firefox in "safe" mode (Option-click). I don't see why I have to remember Option-click every time I open Firefox.
    I'm on a Mac mini (new in March 2014) with Mac OS X 10.9.4, Mavericks. Is that the problem?
    The answers I've read here use terminology I do not understand. (I made a living writing computer manuals for HP and Apple, so I'm not naive.) Do you have a glossary somewhere?
    I just want to be able to open multiple tabs in one window and click from one to another. I used to be able to do that.

    We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
    Your System Details list shows:

  • I cannot get a new tab to open in FF 18. It doesn't work whether I click on + or do Fil; New Tab. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

    The new tab opens when I click a link in the existing window, but, not when I click the + or File; New Tab. It always worked in previous versions. I tried re-installing, but, that didn't fix it either.

    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.

  • Why can't I open a new tab? The + is there, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I've even tried File - New Tab. Still nothing!

    Suddenly, I am unable to open a new tab. I can click on a link and open a tab that way, but if I want to open several sites on my own, I have to open a new browser. I've tried clicking the +, and clicking File - New Tab. Neither are working. I've even checked Tools - Options - Tabs. That didn't work, either. Please help!

  • I can't open a New Tab. Neither by clicking the + on the Tab bar, nor by File New Tab (or Ctrl+T).

    When I open Firefox, I can see the homepage. When I try to open a new tab, I can't neither by clicking the + on the Tab bar, nor by File>New Tab. However, if I press a link in my home page, it opens in a new tab. ???

    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

    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 cannot open a new tab any way..by clicking the new tab button on tab-bar, or ctrl/T, or File/New Tab, or clicking on link on current page.

    On Windows7 Premium Home Edition, I cannot get a new tab to open no matter what I try. On occasion, if I click on a link on the current page, a second tab will open, but 99% of the time I am stuck using the first tab for everything and using the back button. I have tried ctrl/T, File/New Tab, right mouse click/New Tab, and the new tab button on the tab bar to the right of the current tab.

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

  • The "open new Tab" commands either menu or the +tab tab do not work at all. A new tab is only created when an existing site opens a new window.

    happens all the time. The tab "tab" on the right of the open browser tab does not work and neither does the menu File/New Tab.

    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.

  • Tabbed browsing does not work when i click on (+) or thru file-new tab also?

    When i wish to open a new tab either by clicking mouse over the + sign on the current tab or by file-new tab menu access, tabs are not opened. it works only when clicking on links in present window. earlier i could open tabs at will.

    Disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar extension, there's a problem with it in Firefox 3.6.13.

  • How can I add more chosen websites for quick access in the remaining empty fields in "file"-"new tab"? ing empty fields

    I can´t add preferred, chosen, most visited or bookmarked websites to the 28,15 or 6fields in"file" - "new tab". I have a PC with Windows Vista and have been using Firefox with additional Google toolbar as my preferred or default browser for several years. I have downloaded several updates. I suspect that my version is now 4 or 5. Originally the Google for Firefox new tab feature showing chosen favourite or preferred websites for quick one click access worked fine but I seem to have lost the abiiity or forgotten how to add new such favourites for quick access. The "edit" button there on the bottom left can only delete valuable chosen sites, which then seem to the be lost forever. This edit button is very dangerous! The "bookmarks" and "most visited" tabs listed show a wild coincidental mixture of sites I once visited sometime but have nothing to do with my real favourites or chosen or most visited sites. So I don´t use these bookmark or "most visited" features.

    Most visited would not be your bookmarks, but your tab history.
    You can check that out via Ctrl+Shift+H then search on ":" (colon without the quotes). Sort on the "Visits Count" (descending) and you will see that they agree.
    '''Most visited''' is one of the '''smart bookmark folders''' which are database queries.
