I can't open last closed tab, doesn't start with last tabs

I recently noticed that I cannot open the last closed tab (the selection is there, but is greyed out).
Then, when rebooting, I notice that the system does not restore the last visited tabs - even though that selection is made in the Options.
I recently installed KeePass and it's extension in Firefox and it seems to work well (I don't actually use it often). And, recently I had a glitch where the system would resize my pages (as if I was holding the Ctrl key down while scrolling.
Several reboots fixed this issue - but now I can't resize by holding the Ctrl key and scrolling (although holding Ctrl and tapping the - key will resize the window).
Any ideas on how to fix this without a total reinstall? I've been copying my Firefox profile from one computer to another for years and am concerned about losing my saved data/preferences.
Thanks in advance!!!

Uninstalled KeeFox and the problem has disappeared.

Can Firefox v4 be updated to allow opening recently closed tabs from the tab bar??

Opening recently closed tabs by right-clicking (the mouse) over the tab bar was available in Firefox up through the last released update to v3.6. I found it useful and easy to use. I understand that I can use 3 left-mouse clicks to open a recently closed tab from the history (click on upper-left Firefox button, navigate to/click on History, and then navigate to/click on Recently Closed Tabs), or press CTRL+SHIFT+T. Up until version 3.6, I could just simply right-click the tab bar to re-open a closed tab. Can right-clicking the tab bar be re-instituted in Firefox v4?

That tab context menu only shows if you right click a tab on the Tab bar. 
If you right click empty space then the toolbar context menu opens.

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 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.

I can only open a new tab by right clicking on an item in an already open tab and selecting open in new tab

I can only open a new tab by right clicking on an item in an already open tab and selecting open in new tab. Nothing else works e.g. File, New Tab, or clicking on the New Tab to the right of the last tab.

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

I have trouble opening and closing tabs in the update 3.6 versions, what's going on?

After the recently updated 3.6 versions came out, I started having trouble opening and closing tabs. Is anyone else having this problem with the updated versions?

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 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.

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.
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

Tabs in Firefox 7 won't work...I can't open a new tab by clicking on the +.....only way to open a new tab is via the FILE/new tab option...it seems like a lot of the options/buttons are non-pressable??

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 AskTbYLC/3.11.3.15590

3.6.16 Broke My Tabs!!!! I can't open any new tabs now

This morning I got a automatic Firefox update to 3.6.16. Foolishly I let the thing update.
Now, I can't open any new tabs!!!!!!!! I've tried all three methods. ctrl-t, file new tab, and of course the new tab button on the tab bar.
nothing works. It just ignores it and keeps the one tab open.
I did discover applications can still open a new tab. When I clicked firefox help, it opened in a new tab.
right click, and opening a link in a new tab works too.

Hi cmccloud,
What is the error message you get? If it's telling you to upgrade Numbers but you already have updated, then that means you probably are trying to open the document with the old version, which is still on your Mac, in a sub folder within Applications named iWork '09. Open the document with the Numbers that is in your Applications folder (not the one in a subfolder). It's easy to confuse the two, because the icons are similar.
If you're getting some other error message, could you post specifics?

Why firefox in my desktop can't open a new tab in the same windows?

I can't open a new tab by clicking the + symbol. I don't know why this happen. If I want to open a new tab, I have to take a right click and then choosing open new tab. I think this is so terrible, I can't access the page on the same windows.

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

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