How do i open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared

how do open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared - the tab grouping stuff is not intuitive

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

  • How can I open a new tab not right next to the one I open from but next to the last?

    Before I switched to the current version of Firefox, the new tab that I would open, was opening right after the last open tab previously opened.
    Now if I have 4 tabs open and I open a new tab from inside the first one, the new tab opens as number 2 tab.
    Is there an option that toggles the opening sequence ?

    A couple of methods, first use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. The second method involves changing a hidden preference.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # In the filter box type '''related'''
    # Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to '''false'''

    When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

    It is probably a JavaScript link.
    You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
    either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
    * Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
    ''Did that work?''
    Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:

  • How do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

    how do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

    Try Ctrl+t
    Most of the shortcuts should be listed on the full menus. To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key or press F10.
    Oops, sorry, Ctrl+k duplicates the current tab. To do that in Firefox, click in the URL of the page and press Alt+Enter.
    There also might be an add-on that creates a more convenient method.

  • How do I set a specific page to open when I open a new tab in Firefox? I can open the page when initially opening Firefox, but not for subsequent tabs/pages.

    You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

    *My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/

    How do I open a new tab from address line?

    You Will have to hold down the Alt key and press Enter to make the link open in a new tab without using an extension.
    By default links always open in the same tab.
    You can search the Add-ons website for an extension if you want to change this default behavior.

  • How do I change the tab setting so that when I open a new tab it does not leave the current tab view?

    Up until the other day, opening a link in a new tab via right click created the new tab but did not change my view to that new tab. However, since yesterday opening any new tab changes my view from the page I was browsing on to the new tab. Although it seems minor, this seriously negatively impacts the way I browse. Is there any way to change it back? I do not see it within the settings.

    Tools > Options > Tabs - is the last preference there check-marked??

  • How do I open a new tab at a specific web site

    When I open a new tab (in Firefox 5) I want it to opne at my home page (google). I cant seem to make firefox 5 do this, yet it worked fine in Firefox 3. Have a missed a point somewhere?

    Do you see that button if you open the Customize window?
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Opening a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar but then moves to the search field

    When I open a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar for a second or so then the focus moves to the search input field. If I start typing something the first character fills in the address bar then the rest is typed into the search field.
    How do I get the focus to remain in the address bar as per previous versions please?

    == This happened ==
    A few times a week

    Firefox is shutting down windows I want to remain open. Example: I am done viewing one window. I click the X to shut the window and it shuts two windows. Every single time, attempt to close one windows, two windows close. Lately, I have been opening several windows with nothing but google search, just so it will shut that window and not something else I want to remain open. I could understand this if I was using tabs, but I am not. This has been going on for over two weeks. I don't like going back to history to open a window, I did not want closed in the first place. Isn't that what 'Windows' is all about? Any ideas?

  • New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
