My Firefox can no longer open new tabs. I click the icon but it does not work. How can I fix this?

The "+" icon that opens new tabs does not open a tab.

With Firefox version 4 and 5, the default setting is ''not'' to ask the question for saving the session. You can get back that behavior by modifying the options as below: 
# In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter.
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of options.
# In the '''Filter''' textbox at the top, type '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''
# You will be presented with the entry for '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''. If its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''.
# Repeat these steps for options''' browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set their values to '''true'''.

When I open a new tab it shows the old ones that I have closed how do i fix this

when i am in one website & I control t to open a new tab & I hit the home button all my old tabs reopen how do I fix this so I dont keep closing out unnecessary tabs also the tabs are there each time i open firefox

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 attempt to open a second window from the icon but it does not open then when firefox is closed it will not reopen because it is still running in processes but no window displayed until you kill the process and then restart firefox.

I attempted to open a new window from the Firefox icon but nothing happens. I then went on browsing and closed Firefox but was later unable to open it. I checked processes and it was already running but there was no window displayed. I am running Windows 7 Professional.
This is repeated any time I already have the browser open and wish to open a second instance.

I've tried to fix as per your FAQ instructions, but Zeon does not work, how can I make ADOBE my default to bypass ZEON?

I can not open many things b/c Zeon Plus doesn't work. It is not shown when I open/check current plug-ins - it's listed as unknown. I would prefer to have Adobe, as it doesn't crash all the time. How can I change this?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I can no longer open new tabs, either by clicking on the icon or hitting control T. I have tried reinstalling.

I can no longer open new tabs, either by clicking on the plus sign or by hitting control T. I tried re-installing, but it didn't help.

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.

All of a sudden I can no longer open new tabs.

I have been using Firefox for a long time with no problems. Today for the first time I can no longer open new tabs. I reloaded the program with the same results.

Disable or un-install the Ask Toolbar. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask Toolbar in Firefox 3.6.13 that Ask needs to fix:

HT2638 since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. i have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open

Since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. I have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard which is the suggested solution to then open a suggested solution to rebuild the library, but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open. can someone please help?
thank you

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.

Having the app is irrelevant.
The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen. If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

I cant open new tabs by clicking the blank area next to the tabs

I used to be able to simply double click on the blank space next to currently open tabs (not just the little plus sigh) to open an new tab. Since yesterday I can no longer do this. I am running version 7.0.1. I don't know if this happened at the same time an update did. If this is an error, how do I fix it? If this was caused by an update, how to I change it back? It's very frustrating to have to click on that small little box to open a 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.

I bought a new iphone in miami that does not work, how can i get it repaired by apple?

I live in Argentina. I bought a new iphone 3gs unlocked on January 20th, 2012, in Aventura Mall in Miami, Florida. I arrived in Buenos Aires last Saturday, 28th, turned it on, and it never worked. It shuts down, and freezes for long periods of time, strange things appear on the screen, basically, it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL.
I want to give it back, and get my money back, but there's no contact mail, or telephone I can call from Argentina. There are only 1-800 telephone numbers which I cannot use from here. Also, there is no official Apple Store or Repair Centre here in Buenos Aires.
I call to the Aventura Apple Store and a machine answers me, and does not re-direct my call to a repair centre or support centre.
I find no way to contact Apple regarding my problem. It seems I could only contact them if I lived in USA.
I can't believe I have bought an Apple product that does not work, and that I cannot claim to anybody. I have no way of asking for a replacement.
Thanks for your help.

This is the way of Apple all over the world, Their toll free telephone numbers for AppleCare support are all country specific. Apple does not provide an international support number anywhere.
