Installed Flash Player 14, now I can't open any new tabs

This morning (June 11, 2014) I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 14 (because of an upgrade prompt) and now I can't open any new tabs. Links from emails will open new tabs - so will some internet links will open new tabs - but pressing the "+" does nothing. I tried reinstalling Flash Player. I tried downloading and installing a new Firefox.
Mac OS X - 10.6.8

If the Flash player plugin currently has the keyboard input focus, then it can intercept Command+t, but that shouldn't affect the new tab button.
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

  • When I try to install Adobe  Flash Player..now I can not open any desktop file

    Lion...and now Maverick ...very update is a new trouble..

    Make sure that Firefox is closed and check in the Task manager that there are no hanging plugin-container processes left.

  • 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?

  • I can't open any new tabs anymore, not with ctrl+T or tapping the + on the tab. Can you please help me?

    no matter what I do, the only way to open a new tab is to right click a link on a page and click open in new tab. please help me
    ty so very much

    Disabling ask toolbar extension didn't work for me.

  • I can not open any new tabs anymore. Any Ideas

    When i click on the new tab button it does nothing even if i right click on it and choose open.

    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 have Pages 09' and I have installed / updated to pages 5.1. Now I can't open any of my old Pages documents!!! What do I do?

    I have Pages 09' and I have installed/updated to Pages 5.1 (when my computer initially asked if I wanted to update) - Now I can't open any of my older documents? Prior to this, I would open documents and it would be the 09' version. Then I would open documents and it would ask to be updated to the new version, even though it looked like the new version anyway. I would say yes, and that would be the end of it. So when I try to open up a document, it asks me to go to the ap store and update to the new version of pages, so when I go to the ap store, it says it's already installed/updated. What do it do?

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
    Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • HT4972 I updated my ipod touch and now I can't open any of my videos what happened and what can I do to get them to open

    I updated my ipod touch and now I can't open any of my downloaded apps, what would happen if I reset it to factory settings?

    Try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    If still no luck try downloading and installing a free app from the app store.  This has resolved the issue for many users.
