I can not open the bookmarks tab or use the right mouse button in firefox

''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1053467 /questions/1053467]''
I recently downloaded firefox to my new laptop. I can not open the bookmarks tab or use any of the right mouse button options.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    Did you installed ASK toolbar?
    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    <b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
    *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 it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

  • Can not open new blank tab window from file, new tab.In Tools/Options/Tabs ticked open new windo w in new tab?

    Can not open new blank tab window from file, new tab.In Tools/Options/Tabs I have ticked open new window in new tab?

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

  • The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side?

    The bookmark tab went from the right side to the left side. I did not change that. what cause the change from the right side to the left side? Also the the Mozilla Firefox tab on the upper left hand corner changed.
    Its was a red colored tab and now its blue in color. I did not change any thing!

    Hey jimmiet,
    There were some recent ui changes around the downloads manager. What version where you on before? Anyway, you can customize things in Firefox really easily. Take a look at [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars|this article on customizing Firefox]] for details. Should be a piece of cake to move the bookmarks button.
    As for the color of the button, you might be in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing]] mode. That changes the color of the button from orange to a purplish color.

  • Somehow the tabs have stopped working. I can't open a new tab by klicking the + sign or through archive/new tab

    Hi
    The tab function has stopped working. i can't open a new tab by klicking the + sign, through archive/new tab or by using CTRL T.
    i've tried to uninstall Firefox an reinstall it by with no success. seriously need help with this. because we use firefox a lot at work because certain software/websites that we work with only work in your webbrowser.

    I had to uninstall the Ask toolbar, not just uncheck it under Tools. Once I uninstalled it, the new windows tab worked.

  • TS3276 I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow

    I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow....  that only happend on Gmail account

    It could be just an issue with the gmail server. I don't know what settings can be made for attatchments there. I generally leave those messages with large attatchments alone and view them on the computer. I was finding that certain large files like .wmv would sometimes take 5 to 10 minutes to open on the iPad.
    Yes it's aggrivating, but I don't have that answer either.

    i can not open my i pad-1  and the device gave me message connect to iTunes and when connect the computer give me message type the password firstly i do not know what can i do ?

    Is it disabled due to too many incorrect passcode attempts ? If it is then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/resync your content to it.

    I have files that say they are missing or offline. I have checked all my folders off of lightroom and they can not be found. I have used the ? mark settings to find and still not found. I can see the images on lightroom so they have to be in my system some how. How can I retrieve these images? Is there a re boot for lightroom? Need help ASAP!

    You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
    Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
    Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location.

  • How do I get rid of the Bookmarks tab, or customize the Navigation Pane?

    I want to get rid of the bookmarks tab, I want only the "pages" tab to be open by default, whether the document has bookmarks or not. I know there's initial view but I need to set Acrobat to open the pages tab by default, not open it in bookmarks first, then change initial view to pages, then save.

    Right-click and de-select Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Or View > Toolbars

  • The + button or "open a new tab" does not correspond. I also tried with Ctrl+T but I can not open a new tab unless I click on a link in the existed tab. What can I do?

    I have seen nothing relevant in options

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    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

  • I can not open a new tab

    Whether I click the 'new tab' icon or New Tab from the File Menu, nothing happens.

    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.
