Firefox V30 will not create new tabs. OSX 10.9.3

I am not able to open a new tab.
The "+" on the right of the existing tab changes color when I click it but no new tab appears.
Selecting Command "T" does not create a new tab.
I can only get new tabs to appear by spawning these as an option within an existing page that opens new content in a new window.

BTW - the updating of my Add Ons did NOT fix the problem.

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?

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.

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 30 will not open new windows maximized

I use Firefox on 2 machines, one at home and one at work. I updated both to Firefox 30.
My home machine, with Windows 7 opens new windows maximized.
My work machine, however, will not open new windows maximized. It will only open them at the last remembered window size. I have tried deleting localstore.rdf and this does not solve the issue.
The window will open maximized on Firefox 28 on the same machine.

Ical will not create new / delete old calendars

On my imac, ical will not create a new calendar (File / New Calendar) and will not delete the calendar (Edit / Delete) that is in there (a custom calendar called 'group 3' that was never used - the default calendars are not in there either).
I tried same on my ibook and it worked as expected.
Back to the imac, I delete the imac application from the applications folder, then did a custom install from my OS X 10.4 disk. Although the install completed successfully, the situation is no different.
Suggestions? thanks

Solved: Deleted all Key Chain references to the FTP address.

FF7 will not open new tab with new window. overwrites same tab. If I manually open a new tab, then the new window appears there. In previous versions, the new window would automatically open a new tab. This tab 'overwriting' ia very annoying.

You won't let me! The 'red' prompt says I have use more than 255 characters.

By accident, after nearly an hour of playing with FF7, I discovered that by pushing down (like a button) on the scroll wheel or holding down CTRL key will open a new tab to the right of existing tabs when selecting a bookmarked site or link within a webpage.

Go-OpenOffice Writer Will Not Create New File

I'm having a problem with go-openoffice writer, where it is unable to create a new file. If I open writer directly, a file appears for a split second on my screen and then disappears. This also happens if I attempt to create a new file from withing an already existing file. Strangely, I can open already existing files, just not create new ones.
I tried uninstalling and resinstalling go-openoffice, but this didn't help. Any thoughts on what might be going on? Thanks.

Yes that's my problem. I can't open an empty writer window. If I execute writer from the Gnome applications menu or from a terminal, I see the window for a split second and then it disappears, as if something is immediately closing the window the moment it opens. This also happens if I use the create new file command in the file menu, from an existing Writer file. This is not a problem with other Ooo apps. Base, Calc, Draw, Impress, Math all open new files fine. Only writer has the problem.
As a completely cumbersome work around, I can open an existing file, use save-as to create another file, and then delete it's contents.

Help! After upgrading to Firefox 8, will not save my tabs from previous session, or any Tools - Options! I have read everything I can find about it in Help.

It opens the same 3 stupid windows every time: the Firefox Google page, the upgraded Welcome page, and Amazon wish list upgrade page. This while my home page is set to msn.com or blank! I tried every method mentioned in Help that I could find, including the corrupt dll file and deleting Firefox and reinstalling it. Still, same problem. I have checked and rechecked all my browsing, history and cookie settings, etc. but cannot find any solution. I am not in private browsing, and I accept all cookies. It also does not save my Tools-Options-Tabs-When I open a new tab, switch to it immediately. This is really disappointing. Can someone please help??

Under Options->General->Startup->When Firefox starts->Change this from "Show my home page" to "show my windows and tabs from last time". It works for me, hope this will help you as well.

Firefox 4 will not work with my OSX 10.4.11. I cannot now get back the old version. what can I do?

Just downloaded Firefox 4. It replaced the older version on my mac but will not work with my current version of OSX.
I cannot find where I can download the older version so now I do not have Firefox. Can you help>

Perfect! This works!!! Mozilla... remember many Mac users keep machines a looooong time! They are like an old Mercedes. They never die.

Tab bar will not generate new tab if press+ - Links work- Right Button click 'open in new tab'

Now working with 3.6.18 (I had v4, then v5 briefly), the tab bar 'failed' in v5 so I went back to v3.6.18, but the problem followed.
No matter how many tabs are open I cannot get a new blank tab by clicking the "+" tab on tab bar.
I CANNOT get a new tab by mousing over another tab, right button menu "new tab" will not work.
I CAN select a bookmark "open in new tab" it works.
I CAN do the same on a link, "open in new tab" it opens in a new tab.

Didn't even know I had one, so I told it to display then went to the right hand end where a drop down menu offered "uninstall" and fired that , and again, and again, and again, the sticky little booger grinned back, but would not leave.
Reminded me of early Windows days when Win would die and tell you, "I just lost all your work" "OK?"
Going to look for a big hammer, it used to make me feel good to have the last FINAL word.

My browser will not open new tabs. The "+" doesn't open a new tab nor does going through File- new tab.

The only way it opens a tab is if I right click on something on a site and hit open in new tab.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

Web search stays on single tab will not open new tab when new link is open

Up until yesterday when I did a web base search and clicked on a new site there was a new tab open to show the site. Now all the sites open in the same tab. How do i correct this problem?

Hi, I'm not sure about other search engines but if you're using Google: First do a search, then on the results page, top right-hand corner > Options (cog wheel) > Search settings > 'Where results open,' and tick/check 'Open each selected result in a new browser window.' That should now open results in a new tab.
Other options: You can click the mouse wheel, or hold down Ctrl when you click, or right click > Open Link In New Tab.
Hope that answers your question.

Anyone know what this means? AND how to fix it?

I am having this same problem. I am able to import the film, and iMovie seems to be fully functional with a very short movie, just a few frames. When I click on a clip after I've imported an hour's worth of film, iMovie crashes and doesn't even ask me if I want to report the problem. I tried saving the file then quitting iMovie, and when I opened the file again all of the clips were in the trash.

My firefox browser will not open new windows in tabs, but it will do so when I am in safe mode, what should I be looking for?

I want to view new pages in tabs. I thought I had clicked the appropriate option to do so but it continually opens in a new window instead. I have restarted my browser in safe mode and the tabs are there and work normally. What gives? I am not sure how to narrow down the problem here.

Hello rossqo, '''''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 [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit 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 others with the same problem.
thank you
