My "Open New Tab" (tab with "x") to right of already open tabs is missing..

'''I used to have the "Open New Tab" option (the small tab with an "x" to open new tab page) to the right of my already open tabs. I upgraded Firefox to newest version (12 maybe????....so many updates I can't keep up). This feature is gone as well as my Auto-Fill which were my 2 favorite features!!!'''

Actually this tab deal wasn't a specific setting that I know of. When I first chose to use the multiple tabs at the top of my Firefox page.....there they were. No matter how many pages/tabs I opened there was always a new blank one on the right of the tabs. The newest one is the size of the tabs that are "pinned" rather than full sized. This is much harder to explain in writing....so don't know if I'm being clear at all.
In the Toolbar Layout options there is an icon + that can be dragged to a toolbar, but it stands alone as opposed to being part of the tabs. I can click it to open another tab, but it's a 2 step process. I much preferred the other way.

Open in new tab option missing

i'm not entirely sure what caused this change, and i can still access new tabs with the cmd- and cmd-shift- clicks, but for some reason the option for "open link in new tab" no longer appears when i "right click". i can't think of any major changes i've made to my computer recently that would cause this, but it started a few days ago and it's extremely annoying, if a small problem. any ideas?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari.
See if that helps. If not, go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues

Right click to open link in new tab sometimes missing

example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StannardRockLight
In Safari 3, I could right click on the image to the right and get the contextual menu item "Open link in new tab." In Safari 4, it's missing. However, if I hold down the command key and click, it does open in a new tab - so it seems to be an issue with just the contextual menu somehow.
This problem doesn't occur with every webpage.

Hi Donnie
Seems if the image is contained within a frame, then no "save as" option appears. I suggest reporting the bug to Apple via the Safari Menu>Report Bugs to Apple.
Alternative for saving is to click/drag the image to the desktop.

The + sign to open a new tab is missing

FF4. Suddenly the + to the right of an open tab is missing. When I start FF in the safe mode it reappears. I started FF in the normal mode and disabled my seven extensions and one theme, one-by-one, but the + did not reappear.
I had not added any new extensions, plug-ins or appearance themes before this happened.

I have enabled all my extensions, plug-ins and appearance theme. The + sign is now visible and when I click on it a new tab opens.
However, the bookmarks clickable link in the right upper corner is gone and when I restore it using the customization option the new tab + sign disappears! If I put the bookmarks toolbar back into the customization window and click done the + sign reappears.
What the heck is going on?

The button to open a new tab is missing from each tab in Firefox 7

I have Win 7 and Firefox 7 on my PC. I used to have the + to open a new tab on the right end of the open tab. That is gone now, though when I loaded Firefox 7 on my PC at work (Win XP) it had the = on the tab, before it crashed and would not open again. I have to run 3.16(?) on that computer.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
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 button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window. 
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.

IE 10 blank new tab and missing favourites problem only when requiring a proxy for first page visit

We are having a very strange situation with one (only) of our 64bit 2008r2 remote desktop session host servers. The problem we are having is that when any new tab or window is opened it must first open a page that is in the
internet options -> connections ->LAN settings -> Advanced -> Exception. Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with
Area. OR ELSE....
The entire contents of the favourites menu below "Organize favourites" is missing, though the favourites explorer bar, and tool bar display the links, but they cannot be opened in the current tab and will not create a new tab when you click open
in new tab. HOWEVER, this problem is instantly resolved if you manually type into the address bar and visit a site that is in the proxy exception list. Then that tab starts to function normally, the favourites menu is populated and works, and so
does the favourites explorer bar, and toolbar, and other websites can be visited.
This is extremely problematic. Looking at the proxy server logs, when the problem is happening no attempt is made at contacting the proxy server.
Ways we've encountered this problem
If the user has the option set that a new tab opens the 'new tab page' then any new tab experiences the problem.
If the browser is set to open the user's home page(s) then any of the home pages that are not in the exception list may or may not open successfully. But again any of them that opened a page that was not in the proxy exception list will experience
the problem
when a user tries to click on a website link from an email or document that is not in the proxy exception list, as this opens a new window or tab and it is just blank.
when a website not in the exception list tries to open a new window/tab
This problem is happening for all users on that RD session host server, including domain admins, except for THE domain/enterprise administrator. Our other 2008r2 64bit RD session host servers and windows 7 machines with the same version of IE
installed on it does not have this problem.
We have tried deleting all IE data, resetting IE, re-registering the ieproxy.dll with the regserv32 command and the problem continues.
Our proxy settings for each user is coming from the group policy setting of 'computer config -> policies -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Make proxy settings per-machine = enabled'
and THE domain administrator choosing to enable the proxy server and disable automatic proxy detection.

Hi,
Since you have tried many methods like deleting all IE data, resetting IE, and it works well on other Windows 7 machines, the problem might be some clients didn’t respond to the group policy.
Try to update the group policy with this command at the clients ”gpupdate /force”.
And check whether the client is infected with virus, some virus might cause this issue too.

New Tab is missing

I downloaded something and obviously somewhere it downloaded some website too put it as a home page, put a toolbar and so on but that's ok I took them off BUT the new tab appears now with this site and I can't bring back to appear with the sites that I use at most - this application that you have - Please tell me how to make them appear back :(

hello eli, you can either install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ searchreset addon] to get rid of the problem or manually reset the page that opens on each new tab.
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''about:newtab'''.

New Tab button missing after upgrade to 7.0.1

I prefer not to have the Tab Bar showing unless I have more than one tab open, but I sometimes like to open a blank tab, so that I can open a link from an email into it. (Not the default for me.) Alas, ever since I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1 from the version Fedora Linux gave me (3.6.x) I've been unable to get the New Tab button back. Not only can't I move the one on the Tab Bar to the Navigation Bar, it's not available under Customize. It is, however, available on the copy of Firefox 7.0.1 on my laptop, also running Fedora. I've tried running FF in Safe mode, I've backed up my local settings and had Safe mode set everything to default and restarted, with no change. I have Tab Mix Plus installed, but running FF without it doesn't change anything.

I followed the instructions in your first link, but I don't have a user.js file, and in any event, the instructions there aren't really relevant. The problem isn't that Firefox doesn't remember this setting, it's that I can't set Firefox to put a New Tab button on my Navigation bar in the first place because it's not in the list of items I can select. And yes, I've tried restoring the default set several different times with no effect. I know that the button exists, because I can see it on the copy on my laptop, even after the upgrade. The only thing I haven't tried (maybe) is disabling all plugins, so I'll try that and report back.

The mall grid button in the upper-right corner of the page that toggles the images on and off in a new tab is missing how do I get it back?

I had a problem with some malware/adware by the time I got it removed it had altered much of Firefox.
I have managed to correct everything apart from the thumb nails of frequently used sites on a new tab. I know there should be a 3 x 3 grid in the top right corner but it doesn't show. How do I get it back, please?

You can reset the browser.newtab.url via the right-click context menu to the default value (about:newtab) to get the new tab page with the thumbnails.

Hello,
With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear. So your tiles might just be hidden.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page:

New Tab icon missing from FF17 on Win7-64, not missing from FF17 on XPSP3-32; why?

The navigation toolbar icon set has "New Tab" available in FF16 and FF17 on Win XPSP3 (32bit), but this control is not in the customization set in FF17 on Win7HP (64bit). How do a get the "New Tab" control in the toolbar in Win7?

Dragging a link on the New Tab toolbar button (either on the Tab Bar or if you have moved it to another toolbar) on to empty space on the Tab bar still works for me to open this link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Firefox uses the about: protocol to access built-in about: pages that you can open via the location bar just like you open web pages.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/About_protocol_links).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

The "+" to add a new tab is missing from my tabs in Firefox 4. How do I restore that "+" so I can quickly add a tab to the tab bar?

The "+" to add a new tab has disappeared after installing Firefox 4.0. How do I restore it? I am talking about the tab bar at the top of the screen

Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.

Open link in new tab option missing when i right click a link in firefox 16 beta and firefox 15.

I have tried IE9 and Chrome and neither have this problem. Here is an image of what my right click menu looks like http://imgur.com/APbUc

Reset Firefox worked. Thank you very much.

Why has right click to open new tab become disabled?

SINCE UPDATING FIREFOX:
RIGHT-CLICKING TO OPEN NEW TABS DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE. HOW DO I REVERSE THIS???
AND
FIREFOX CRASHES VERY OFTEN NOW. HOW DO I STOP OR AT LEAST MINIMIZE FREQUENCY OF CRASHES???

Regarding the right-click context menu, which is the best description of the problem:
# Can no longer right-click links
# Open in New Tab is missing or grayed on the context menu
# Open in New Tab does nothing when selected
# Open in New Tab opens in the same tab when selected
Does the site make any difference or do you have this problem on all sites?
Sorry to hear about the crashes. When Firefox crashes, it usually records information about what was happening at that moment. You often will see the Mozilla Crash Reporter dialog come up. You can submit that data to Mozilla and share it with forum volunteers to see whether it points to the solution. Please check the last section of the support article "[[Firefox Crashes]]" for steps to get those crash report IDs, and then post some of the recent ones here.
If that's not possible, could you test 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]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' 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
and OK the restart.
''Both scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any less crashy?
