I cannot open a new tab by clicking on the X. Why was this function disabled when firefox updated. And I lost my links on my toolbar.

Firefiox updated and I've lost my AOL links and cannot open tabs by clicking on the X.

Note that the X is a close button and that the new tab button is styled as a plus (+) sign.
You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
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 New Tab button.<br />
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.<br />
You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.

  • Just today, I cannot open a new tab - by clicking on the new tab button, or pressing CTRL+T. Help!

    I always use this feature and love it! I've gone thru the trouble-shooting guide, checked my plug-ins, cleared my cache and cookies, restarted my computer - and still no new tabs! The only way I can get a new tab is to click on HELP, FIREFOX HELP, and then use the new tab that opens.
    Is something wrong with Firefox?

    In past threads, this problem has been linked with the Ask toolbar.

  • In the previous version of Firefox you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade.

    I just installed Firefox 4. In the previous version you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade. Firefox help still says you can open a new Tab by using the "Open New Tab" Button so how do I get it back??

    I got it back by going to "customize toolbar" and hitting "restore default set"! Now there is a small tab next to my open tabs with a "+" on it.

  • I am not able to open a new tab by clicking on the division sign

    I can't open a new tab by clicking on the division sign to the right of the current tab or by left clicking on the current tab and selecting "New Tab."

    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

  • I used to be able to open a new tab by clicking on the + tab on the far right. Now when I click the +, nothing happens. No new tab appears. What could be wrong?

    The Open a new tab (the + sign at the far right of the tabs) does not respond. How do I fix that?

    Please click the '''Helpful''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, when you are logged in.

  • I cannot create a new tab by clicking on the new tab section (+) or by left clicking and opening a tab.

    FF just downloaded on this computer and I created new account today. From the very beginning, I have been unable to CREATE a new tab. I don't know what other details you need. It's just pain and simple and I hope the answer is too.
    Thank you for your time and attention

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

  • How to stop video Autoplay when opened in new tab (before clicking on the tab)

    In Firefox on my old PC, and Safari on the current Mac, if I open a video in a new tab, the video would not auto-play, until I clicked on the tab. On Firefox on the Mac the video just auto plays. This is pretty annoying when I open 4 or 5 videos in different tabs and they all start playing. I want to click on the tab before it starts playing.
    As safari on the Mac does not play the videos automatically, I am hoping there is a way to stop it on Firefox?
    So an example is metacafe.com. If you open a video in a new tab, the video will start playing automatically, whether you click on the tab or not.
    If you open up the same site in safari, and open the video in a new tab, the video will only start playing once you have clicked on the tab.

    ...still blooming me!
    Who else the autoplay helps?
    Internet Service Providers for customers that have a 'LIMITED' monthly bandwidth.
    It makes you waste a lot of it and 'force' you to buy more EXTRA and not needed allowance!
    But above all that. WHAT ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO CHOOSE ?
    Is democracy completely dead?

  • FF5 does not seem to supports opening a new tab from my search box. Why? this is an important feature for browsing.

    When I was running FF3.X, I used the Google search bar to replace the standard FF search box. In that, I enabled the "open searches in new Tab" feature. This is highly efficient for browsing, as it doesn't leave the current pages I'm on. Frequently I will be running multiple tabs, and it's annoying to have to open once I've selected a new tab. Is there a compatible add-on to help me with this?

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

  • I cant open a new tab by clicking on the "+' sign on the top. I have to right-click on some link on the curent page and then I nevigate to the desired page.

    I had been facing this issue since June. Then I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox (the latest version at that time) and installed "Nightly" which continued to have the same issue. Now I hav replaced 'Nightly" with "Mozilla Firefox 33.0" but the issue persists. What can be a way out?

    hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

  • I can't open a new tab by clicking on it or going to file/new tab

  • I can't open new tabs by clicking on the plus sign, or in file new tab

    Whereas previously it was possible to open a new tab by clicking on the "plus" sign at the right of the last open tab, or by selecting "file" and "new tab", neither of these options work. New tabs will open for a new webpage, but a "blank" will not appear.
