Open tab doesn't work when hitting the + or going to file, open new tab. automatic ones will work, but not manually.

does not open tabs by hitting the + or by selecting file, open new tab. i am operating under mac os x software and have updated firefox twice now with no resolution to this issue.

Many users have discovered this problem (in Firefox 30 and higher) 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
(1) In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential plugins to "Never Activate".
(2) 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 plugin/extension that caused the problem?

Is there any way to disable electric whining on the 2011 Macbooks Pro, when scrolling in Firefox and opening new tabs?

This happens only in Firefox w/o addons; under Mac OS X 10.6.7

To specify the issue: A high-frequency noise can be heard coming from the left upper side of the Macbook (from beneath the 1 key). It can only be heard when scrolling and opening new tabs in firefox and is not influenced by the volume level and muting.

Am unable to click and open new tabs using the new tab button after downloading the newest version of firefox?

have recently downloaded the newest version of firefox. after installing i am happy to say i am pleased with the new look and features etc though for some reason i am unable to open new tabs as before.
i now have to right click on bookmarks or favorites and select open in a new tab to do so, rather than simply clicking on the new tab button..

If the problem turns out to be the "New Tabs at the End" extension, there actually is an internal setting for this that you could use instead.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false. That's it.

Why am I unable to select within the URL bar of a new tab after opening a .pdf file in Firefox 4?

To repeat the problem:
1.) Open a .pdf file in Firefox 4
2.) Open a new tab by using the (+) tab button
3.) Try to select within the URL bar (unsuccessful)
I cannot seem to direct my browser to a new website in a new tab after viewing a .pdf file within the browser.

Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.

How to disable "Double Click on Tab Bar to Open New Tab" feature?

Since I upgraded to FF3 I've noticed this very annoying feature with tabs. If you double-click the 2-3 pixel wide bar just beneath tabs, it opens a new empty tab and sets the focus to that new tab (Which means I then have to go close that tab before going back to the tab I originally wanted). I happen to do this a lot by mistake (I go to click on a tab, but haven't clicked high enough, and of course, it doesn't change to the tab, so I unconsciously click again, which activates a new tab). I never open new empty tabs (alt-enter + middle click), and I have tabs to load in the background (i.e. to not *steal* the focus), so everything about this feature serves as an annoyance to me. Is there anyway to disable this "feature" (Either by disabling it, or making the width of the bar 0. I don't care either way)?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF3

You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs. 
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button. 
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.
I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.

No cursor in address bar after opening new tab

Hi,
after installing FF 29.0.1, when I open a new tab the cursor isn't focused on the address bar, or anything else for that matter.
If I run FF in safe mode it works and the focus is on the address bar. If I disable all my extensions manually and start FF in normal mode it doesn't work.
I looked at that thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972359 already, but that didn't help much.
What can I do to fix this?
Cheers

Thanks for answering.
Just tried it now and unfortunately it didn't help. Disabled both, but still no cursor in the address bar after opening a new tab.
I won't be around my computer for a few days, so it'll take me some time to respond.

Click on URL in email, open new tab in browser, BUT stay in same Thunderbird email

There used to be a way to click on a link (URL) in an email that would open a new tab/window in the browser (Firefox), BUT stay in Thunderbird - similar to what Ctrl-Left-click does in Google search results in Firefox.
My work flow is usually to open several links, staying in Thunderbird and then when I'm done - go to Firefox to look at them all. E.g. I get a stackexchange weekly summary email, click on all the topics that look interesting and then, when I'm done selecting them, go look at them in Firefox.
I don't want to be forced to jump back and forth for every link, one at a time. This used to work.
Is there a preference or add-on that will do this - or anything else?

I'm not aware of any complete reference to all preferences that offer a full explanation of what each does, what the Value means and how to use in a problem-oriented fashion.
But the list below does help:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html#ui
http://preferential.mozdev.org/preferences.html
there is also a postscript module used by eg: linux
http://kb.mozillazine.org/PostScript_Module
Margins are set up here:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
or via File > Print Preview > Page Setup button
Helpful hints:
if you have Margins (millimeters)
and set eg: Bottom margin as 20.0
then look in config editor, you will see:
print.printer_XX.print_margin_bottom; Value = 0.787500023841858
This seemed odd at first. All Values in config were being converted to inches represented in a decimal format.
If you ever need to change the margins from millimeter to inches:
Print.printer_xx.print_paper_size_unit Value: = 1
Change the Value to 0 (zero) to get inches
If you change the Value to 0 for inches and then reopen:
File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer
you will see the Bottom margin has auto changed from 20.0 (mm) to 0.8 (inches rounded up), so although the display is different in File > Page Setup > Margins & header/Footer tab, the actual information in config preferences remains unchanged as it is saved in decimal inches format used by US as default.
if using millimeters then the paper size would be A4 210 x 297 mm.
Although looking in the config preferences it will say paper width 8.50 and paper height 11.00.
Usually, you can change the paper size when you select to Print and look in Print Properties. I'm in UK and using millimeters so get A4; the US uses Letter 8½ x 11 inches.
So I can see how it could be confusing to anyone using millimeters and then sees, what appears like wrong data in preferences.

I have adverts pop up and open new tabs. And all over my homepage. It has never happened before? all these mac keeping problems? whats happened?

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

IE-unable to right-click and open new tabs

When I'm recording IE7 on Vista with Captivate 3--I'm unable
to right-click a link on a webpage and open the link in a new tab.
Right-clicking in the history or favorites window to open the link
in a new tab does not work either.
Anyone had this problem or know of it or have any ideas about
anything I can do about it?

Hi arlhoolie,
I am not sure what the cause of the problem is, but it seems
to me you could work around this by capturing the opening of the
new tab using the keyboard shortcut method and then fix it in
Captivate when you edit the project.
To do this, you would change the caption so it mentions right
clicking over the link instead of the key combination. You would
probably have to move the mouse and highlight objects so they are
positioned over your link. If you need to show the right-click
context menu you can capture that using Print Screen or SnagIt and
then pop that into Captivate as an image. This way you would have a
slide that shows the mouse moving over the link and "right
clicking". The next slide would show the context menu and clicking
the 'open in new tab' menu item. The last slide would be the one
you already captured showing the new tab.
This method works pretty fast for me, though of course, it
may be easier and faster for you to try capturing it through
virtual pc or other methods.
IHTH

Firefox opens new tabs automatically, so i end up with multiple tabs of the same site. it's like it is consistantly trying to restore my last session.

Firefox keeps reloading tabs from my recent history over and over. So i might end up with multiple tabs of Pandora, Google home page or other sites I go to all the time-all running at the same time . rebooting does not help.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Right clicking a tab and opening new tab next to it

I want to right click a tab and have one fo the options be: open tab immediately after
I can do this in Chrome
Is there a BASIC plugin for this
I say basic: I want something that won't hog the browser taking up resources - I've had troubles with other tab plugins
Thanks
Omar

You can't do that without an extension.
You can try:
*Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/tab-utilities-lite/

Have recently updated firefox. Previously, opening a new tab, cursor would be in google's search field, as google was my home page; now when I open new tab, cursor appears in url bar; this is bugging me a lot. How do I fix this setting?

cursor in URL bar when opening new tab; setting for this?

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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

When opening new tab, how to make me able to type in the adress bar directly without clicking on it? -- (about:config reset and add-on doesn't work)

Hi all,
Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.
I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work.
When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.
What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.
Thank you and appreciate the help!!
Note:
(1) about:config reset:
- Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
- To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
- In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
- In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
(2) Custom Add On reset:
- Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
- Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
- Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

<blockquote>
ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...
</blockquote>
Hi Philipp,
I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists.
One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?
Thanks.
