How come I am not able to open new tabs? I clicked on new tab and I've tried to click on the + sign next to the current tab, but still I am not able to.

Ask toolbar is the culprit...Thanks!!!

How can I click on 'new tab' and have all my frequent sites come up the way they used to?

In the old firefox, I would click on a new tab, and when the window came up it showed nine little pictures of my most used websites. Excellent feature that I loved!!! Installed the new version of Firefox on Friday, and now when I open a new tab I just get a blank page. This is REALLY going to slow down my work. If the new Firefox won't show me my windows, I'd like to go back to the old version.

What email program or email site do you want Firefox to fire up to send the message?
In the Preference dialog, you might be able to select the program from a list. In some cases, you need to take extra steps to add it to the list.
Firefox > Preferences > Applications
In the search box above the list, type '''mailto''' and then pause to let the list filter down. Does the drop-down control on the right side let you choose your preferred email program?

How do i open a new tab and its automatically opens to my home page

when i open a new tab it goes straight to snapdo.com. how do i change this so when i open a new tab it opens straight to google without having to type it in or clicking a bookmark button?

This might not be the same for everyone but I noticed that at the bottom of the search page I was trying to get rid of there was a link titled 'reset tab settings to normal' then I was prompted by a dialog window to change the default tab. this worked for me.

Before updating to 5.0, I could click on 'new tab' and my history of thumbnails would show up. After updating, when I click on the new tab symbol (+), a blank page appears. Is there a change I can make to allow the thumnail history to show?

I have no more info than is in the question.

Sounds like a feature of the Google Toolbar.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about GTB problems.

New Applications and updates wont open

I have a 2nd Gen Ipod Touch, updated to the most recent software. I have 91 apps installed, all work fine. However any I have tried to install in the past week have installed but will not open, They flash up for a moment before returning to the ipod home page. Any of my old apps that I have updated will not work after being updated.
I have done all of the 5 R's, I deleted all the apps I have downloaded since this problem started incase one of them was causing a problem but after i did that and the restarting, resetting and restoring, the problem is still there!
Can anyone tell me what else I can do??

I have had the same problem with my 2G ipod touch (apps flashing open for a second). I also had a problem with not all videos playing. I resolved that with the following forum advice +'A technician from Apple helped me out with this. I had to delete the "Software Update" file from my Library folder. Then, I went back and restored my iPod Touch. I had to reset my personal settings and sync options, but it works beautifully now. Thank you Apple!'+ I did this too, you essentially go to Finder/library/itunes and trash the ipod software updates folder. Then connect up the ipod, click on its icon in itunes, click retsore on the overview page and treat it as a new ipod (not restore the old one) but you can give it the same name. All the songs will re sync, however having done this my films all played AND the apps all worked perfectly (as I write this my daughter is playing on balloon animals.

When I click file- new tab, or the + to open a new tab, nothing happens. The only way I can open a new tab is to right click from a web link. Additionally, this only happens for 1 of the 3 users of this laptop.

I am running version 3.6.15

That can a problem with the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

I Hate Bing and when I click on a Firefox NEW Tab and search I keep getting Bing results, I used to get Google which I would like back, my homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing but all tab searches retrieve Bing results.

My homepage when opening Firefox is not Bing, yet for some reason today it started using Bing instead of Google for my NEW tab search results. I already deleted Bing from the search bar, no results. Deleted Bing from my computer's control panel. I just want to be able to click a new tab and have my results in google as I always have.

hello, you have a malicious addon present on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove ''LyricsParty''.
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I can no longer open multiple tabs in a window but if a program opens another tab it will work but clicking on "new tab" does not work.

That is the details. When I click on "new tab" it will not open a new tab in the current window. When I click on something that will open a new tab it works that way. I can open new windows, that is not problem This only happened the last week or so.

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 AskTbEPC/3.13.1.18107

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

When I click on an active link from another application, it opens the firefox application, but won't open open the page - it just opens Firefox or takes me to Firefox. No new tab or window is opened and the link is not displayed.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

I open a new tab and nothing works until I click anywhere, get redirected to a different tab, close that one, then I can follow links on tab I wanted to open.

When I open a new tab, for instance if I search on a topic and there are several sites that seem promising, I will open them in new tabs. I can scroll over the links or text on the new tab and the cursor doesn't react.The new tab has fully loaded but the cursor will not recognize text or links. Before anything will work first I have to left-click anywhere on the page. I get redirected to a new tab, invariably a trusted offer or survey. When I close that other tab, then the first tab acts normal. I scroll over it and the cursor recognizes the text and the links.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Thank you.

Hello- I would like to have new pages open in a separate tab automatically...(i.e., Google--- Google listing---click on listing-----auto open new tab and put the page of the google listing that I selected, on the new tab. Thanks. RMartinez

Hello again-
Here is my scenario-
I am browsing, and let's say, I'm on Google. I look up "albatross novels." I get 6 hits. I look at the list, and I pick one of them. I double-click on it, and away we go. My current Google search page is REPLACED by the selected "albatross" site. But it's not exactly what I want. So now I click the BACK ARROW to go back to the Google page, to look at the other 'albatross" hits. And now I find another site, replacing my Google page when I open it......And THAT site takes me to another site, and another, and yet another......But then I realize that the first site WAS the best one. Now I have to hit the back button 15 times and probably NOT reach the Google page from which I started.
But if I could have the new pages open in a new tab, then I could go back and forth between all the pages without worrying about the back button.
I am sure that this is just a setting change somewhere, but I can't find it....I do have it on my work computer.
Thanks/Rod Martinez

Using "+" I am unable to open additional tabs; if I use File and click on New Tab it will open. I don't have the Ask Toolbar. How can this be corrected?

Prior to today, when I clicked on the "+" a new tab would open. It no longer does that. However, when I open File and click on "New Tab" it opens just fine. I do not have the Ask Toolbar as far as I know (this was mentioned as a problem previously). What can be done to fix this? Thank you.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

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

"open in new tab" and MMB click lead to a new window suddenly

Hi,
today my FF 4.0.1 is behaving strangely. When I normally use my middle mouse button over a link, it opens that link in a new tab. Now it opens the link in a new window. When I go via right click -> "open in new tab" it also opens a new window. When I choose "open in new window" it does the same thing.
Can somebody help, so I don't have to reinstall firefox with all addons and passwords?
FYI: - I changed two values - browser.link.open_newwindow and browser.link.open_newwindow. restriction from 3/2 to 0 (didn't help)
- the little "+"-button does open blank new tabs still

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
