I can't open a new tab. how do I fix this?

I see the tab button to open a new window. It does nothing when I press it. I read all the troubleshooting and nothing works. I work with multiple tabs so I need this fixed asap.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) 
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbSTC/3.11.3.15590

When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

Firefox will not allow me to open a new tab, how do I fix this?

I really hate having to use two windows instead of being able to use tabs.

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.
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

A recent download made yahoo as my default site when opening a new tab. how do I change this?

A recent software update/download has changed my default site (on new tab only) to http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20111042,6894,0,22,0
I cannot remember how to change the setting as I do not want Yahoo as my default (anything). Can someone please advise on how to reset the 'new tab' from yahoo to mozilla?

Look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab ("A blank page", "The home page", "The current page" or a user defined URL):

Try and resync.

but I keep getting an erroe message " unable to download itunes 64 setup exe. The connection to this server was reset". What do I do?

This completely *****. iTunes lists none of my music, although the music is on my iPod. When I click on the sync button, it starts to sync -- for about 5 seconds -- and does nothing. So I had to manually import all of my music from my hard drive into iTunes, but it still won't sync. Same thing with videos and photos.

You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

When opening a new tab, how can I specify a site or empty? My tabs open to a site I don't want to see.

When opening a new tab, how can I specify a site, homepage or empty? My new tabs open to a site I don't want to see.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

I keep seeing this message on my ASUS IPAD and need some help. "Tab Limit Reached, Can't Open A New Tab Until You Close One". I need help, please.

Tab Limit Reached, Can't Open A New Tab Until You Close One.
How do I close the tabs?

Asus doesn't make the iPad. Is this some other tablet?
Sounds like you have maxed out the browser windows. In the browser app, press the menu or overflow bottom to see if there is an window/tabs options. There you should see a thumbnail image of each tab you have opened and in the corner of each should be a X or minus symbol that you touch to close that tab/window.

Can't open a new tab using the little + or ctrl t, have tried the options posted befor, can anybody help?

For the last week or so i have not been able to open a new tab, have looked through a lot of the solutions on here but none seem to have wroked, i have disabled all add ons in the add on manager and removed the ASK toolbar and still can't open a new tab, it is becoming very frustrating!
The only way i can get a new tab open is to click on a somewhere and hope it opens in a new window, can anyone help me solve this issue please?

Hey
Thanks for that, i stated in safe mode and it seemed to have sorted out the problem :)

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab"?

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab."
I click ctrl+t, click the new tab button, right click the tab bar and hit "new tab", and even click "File" and hit "New Tab", but it still won't open a tab!
This has been going on for a week!
I know it may not seem like too much of a problem since I can still open a tab, but it's terribly inconvenient that I can only open one by clicking a link.

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