My plus sign won't open a new tab, what gives?

Cannot open a new tab, either from the plus sign or file menu. Have I disabled some feature unknowingly?

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

When I click the new tab button it won't open a new tab.

When I either click the new tab button or right click on it and click New Tab, it won't open a new tab. It lights up as though its going to open a new one, to sign that its been clicked, but it won't open a new tab.

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

Google search results won't open automatically new tab in firefox 6.0.2

Clicking on google search results won't open automatically new tabs in firefox 6.0.2, although it was working until today!

Did you check the Google settings via the gear icon at the top left of the Google site to make sure that you still have selected that feature?

Safari won't open a new tab

I'm using Safari 5.0.5 and when I hit command+T or when I right click on a link to open in a new tab, it doesn't open a new tab, it gives me a white page and the URL reads the same page I was previously on. I can't find anything that explains why it might be doing this or how to fix it. I haven't changed any settings recently, nor have have my browsing habits changed. Help?

Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari. Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari, try tabs. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

It Would be great to have keys on the onscreen keyboard.
Such as a computer keyboard.
With BACKSPACE, TAB WITH SETTINGS, DELETE, TYPE OF TYPE, BOLD TYPE, UNDERLINE ETC....
I HAVE A KEYBOARD COVER AND IF I NEED TO USE CERTAIN KEYS I HAVE TO SWITCH TO MY KEYBOARD CASE AND THAT IS VERY INCONVENIENT.
IT IS ALSO A TIME WASTER.
When you installed iOS 8 did you read about the new features? Applications can create custom keyboards…

You need to look for an app that has a custom keyboard with the features you require, I suggest you find one without CAPSLOCK

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
Again you need to look at how to manage the device - these settings can be turned off already & you can edit the 'suggestions' too.
Settings > General > Keyboards > turn Auto-Correction Off.
Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.

All of a sudden...the tabs won't open a new tab...when firefox is open I can SEE the new tab block with a plus in it but when I click, it doesn't open

"Open link in new tab" not working with Safari and new Yahoo Mail won't open in new tabs. Yahoo says it is a Safari issue. I don't think so.

Any ideas?
Works fine in classic Yahoo mail. But in the "new" Yahoo mail, there is not even an option to open in new tab when I right click the message to be opened. Interestingly enough, I can right click open to new tab on any other link on the same page that the emails are listed in.
Anyone encounter this? Have a solution?
Thanks.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try Yahoo / tabs. If it functions as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari. Try again.

Just downloaded latest version and now Firefox won't open a new tab. How do I fix this?

I've been using Firefox for years, however as of last week I can no longer open a new tab. I have to go to "file > new window" new tab quick function nor dropdown work. I'm using a Mac OS X 10.9.3.

'''''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Press the '''<Alt>''' or '''<F10>''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''Advanced > General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites and see if there is still a problem. Then restart.

Won't open a new tab

All of a sudden today, when I click on the new tab button (the+) it will not open a tab. It worked fine yesterday. I tried to open a new tab out of the File menu - no luck. Also I tried ctrl-t, again no luck. I can't upgrade to 4 yet because my antivirus is not supported.

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

New Tab won't open a new tab

For the past two days I have not been able to open a new tab after my home pages have loaded. The only way I can get a new tab to open is if I hit F1 for firefox and then go from there or open a link from an email.

Please disable or uninstall the Ask toolbar extension to solve your problem. It has a known incompatibility with Firefox. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

Firefox Won't Open a New Tab.

I can not open a blank tab by right clicking the tabs then left clicking on new tab, nor by pressing CTRL & T or clicking the plus button by the far right side of all the tabs. I can only open a link to a new tab. Although it is not a major detriment to my browsing. It has become quite a nuisance.

Users have reported that the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' causes new tabs to not open. Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem with their toolbar.

Why won't open in new tab work?

'''When I try to open a link in a new tab nothing happens'''

Do all three of these fail?
* right-click > Open Link in New Tab
* Ctrl+click the link
* middle-click the link with the mouse wheel (if you have one)
If you have been using Firefox for a while, can you associate this in time with any software change, such as:
* Firefox update
* Windows update
* hardware driver update
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).
Can you open links in a new tab, or same problem?

Links from an email or website won't open in new tab

since updating to 3.6.9, when trying to open a link from an email or website, the link will open in the current tab, instead of opening the link in a new tab. i did not have this problem yesterday when 3.6.8 was running on my computer.

Firefox won't open a new tab thru 'control-T' or by hitting the '+' symbol to the right of the currently open tab - how do I fix or sidestep this problem?

The system requires that I put something into this box ... but I think the question is pretty clear and self explanatory.

Uninstall '''''Ask Toolbar'''''; it causes that problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons Uninstalling add-ons] '''''and''''' [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on Cannot uninstall an add-on]

Not related to your question, but....
You need to update some plug-ins:
