I am unable to open a blank tab. Just started doing this. Why?

Suddenly my browser will not allow me to open a blank tab. If I go to help or something like that a new tab will open however, clicking "open a new tab" does absolutely nothing. I have done nothing out of the ordinary to cause this as far as I can tell.

First thing to do is to update to Firefox 10.0.10 and then see how it is.

Opens multiple blank tabs on start up

Firefox opens 50+ blank tabs on start up. Went through the suggestions, nothing worked. Also will not let me remove Firefox 4.0 from add/remove

I have been experiencing the exact same issue as eddiethered for the past 2 weeks, I'm having 4 old browser tabs open everytime I launch Safari. This is not an issue of a settings configuration, it is an issue of a bad .plist or cache from what I can tell. Like eddiethered, I have ensured the following:
My default homepage is about:blank, so upon Safari launch nothing other than a blank page should appear.
It is not an issue of restarting the OS and having "Reopen windows when logging back in" checked off, when I restart I ALWAYS uncheck that - but in the past week the same apps seem to relaunch automatically when they shouldn't.
This is not an issue of previously closing vs quitting the Safari browser, I Command-Q all my apps when I am finished with them. Even when I hard-quit Safari, the old 4 browser tabs/websites reappear.
This is not a issue of Login Items as I don't have a single application listed as a Login Item for my Username.
I've also noticed other apps having issues (iChat, Chrome). As of now Firefox is the only browser that is launching without any issues. Yes an OS reinstall could be an option but that is a substantial amount of effort I don't want to invest. Due to the other apps having issues this may be an issue at the OS level and not Safari.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am using a Canon 640 printer and my MPNavigator will not remain open. It pops open then quickly closes. I've used it for several years but it just started doing this. What can I do to fix this problem?

I had a similar problem with a Canon MP800R under Mac OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks.
In my case, the MP Navigator app in the dock was linking to the wrong file.
It linked to Applications > MP Navigator 2.1.app > Contents > Resources > MP Navigator.app, but it should link to the "main" app, probably under Applications > MP Navigator 2.1.app.
After pulling the correct MP Navigator app file to the dock, I can start MP Navigator again by clicking on it in the dock. However, when clicking on it, a second MP Navigator icon will show up in the dock and stay there until the app is closed. By the way, the MP800R scanner also works (although officially not supported by Canon).

The taskbar disappears when I open firefox. It just statred doing this. Any suggestions for how to fix it? I'm running on XP. Thank you in advance.

When it is just my desktop on the screen, the taskbar is at the bottom as usual. Now when I open Firefox, the taskbar disappears. This just started yesterday. I'm running Windows XP on this laptop. Any suggestions on how to correct the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have you got Firefox's menubar displaying if so turn that off using
* View -> Toolbars -> [] Menu Bar
That may restore the Orange Firefox Button. Post back as to whether that works.
I do not use Vista, but it seems odd that only Firefox should make the Vista taskbar disappear. You would do better to post your own question in a new thread.

Pictures opening in pse 9 with rough/jagged edges....HELP, just started doing this 2 days ago

I recently purchased PSE 9 a few months ago and LOVE it. However, out of nowhere; the last few days when I open my images in pse 9 there are edges of the picture that look almost jagged for lack of a better word. At 1st I thought someone got ahold of my camera and messed up my settings but I ruled that out as even when I open photos taken months ago alraedy edited in pse they do the same thing. Funny thing is these pictures look fine in MS Office Picture Manager.
Nobody has been on my computer at all so I am completely stumped as to how a perfect picture looks great on camera and in MS Office PM and now looks really bad in pse....I'm basically unable to edit (work) until I figure out how to fix this issue.
As an example as I likely have not explained myself very well, I took some pics of my baby yesterday in just his diaper and in pse most of the edges of his skin look all rough/jagged instead of a smooth line. I then took pics of myself in another room, different lighting and some outdoor wildlife shots and it does not matter where pic is taken, subject or lighting they are all opening with these rough edges.
Please help as I can not do anything until this is fixed and I may have 2 portrait sessions this weekend!
Thank You

Hi Christina,
No one else (in the discussions I found) knew why that would become an issue either....
There's no way to set PSE to automatically display at a specific view percentage.
To check (and modify, if necessary) your Windows display settings, go to Start...Help and search for "text on screen", then choose the "Make the text on your screen larger or smaller" item from the results. It'll give you step-by-step instructions.
There's no guarantee that this next suggestion will help, but when PSE starts acting goofy, re-setting the Preferences often solves the problem:
Create a shortcut on your Desktop for the PSE9 Editor. The executable is at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe
on Win7 x64 machines, "\Program Files" on 32-bit systems.
Hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys when you double-click on that icon to launch PSE.
Answer "Yes" to the prompt to restore the default Preferences.

I cannot open my Trash file. When I try, it locks up and I have to sign out and reopen. Just started doing this today.

Trash file is not operating at all at this time.

right click it and select compact from the menu

Right-clicking on links and selecting "Open Link in New Tab" opens a blank tab.

Seems like opening links in new tabs just doesn't work in any fashion. I right-clicked a link (several, actually) to open it in a new tab. It opened a blank tab. No sign of ever acknowledging the link, nothing in the URL bar. Just blank.
Wonder if this is related to my earlier question about opening links from Thunderbird being broken as well...

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

Firefox opens a blank tab when I open a pdf in adobe.

First of all, I have already gone into the setting and disabled the pdf viewer in Firefox and have it set to open in Adobe. However, when I click on a pdf attachement in an email or anywhere, the pdf now opens in adobe BUT, firefox still opens a blank tab. How do I get this to stop?
The little icon near all my pdfs (in emails and everything) has the little firefox logo in it.
I just want pdf's to open in Adobe with no new tabs opening.

What is the value of the plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types pref on the about:config page?
Does that still contain the default application/pdf value that is used to prevent a plugin from opening?
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Why can't I open a blank tab?

I cannot open a blank tab, when click on the '+' sign next to opened tab(s), a blank tab should open, but for me simply nothing happens, so what do I do to fix this?

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

I'm unable to open a new tab on my window, what do I do?

I installed mozilla firefox 17.0.1 since then I'm unable to open a new tab when i click on the + icon on the right of the other tab.

You can also try to update to Firefox 18.
*Help > About Firefox
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version
Another possible cause to consider is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

The Ask Toolbar is probably causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.

Quit the app, restart and then see if the button works.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom.

Try a reset as well if that does not work for you.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I have lost the "+" on the tabs toolbar, so I can't open a blank tab. How do I fix?

I closed out a tab, and when the tab closed I also lost the "+" button on the toolbar. So I can no longer open a blank tab. It happened only once, but I can't figure out how to get the "+" button back.

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 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 want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.
* New tab toolbar button: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-toolbar-button/
If toolbar items are missing then 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.
