New tabs in Firefox 4 must be manually loaded

If I open a link in a new tab via the context menu or by ctrl+clicking, the new tab contains the URL of the new page but nothing else. In order to make the tab load, I have to manually highlight the text in the address bar and press enter on the keyboard. Has this happened to anyone else using Firefox 4? Many thanks to anyone attempting to help; it is much appreciated!
Miscellaneous:
I think I still have the "tab mix plus" extension installed from FF 3.6, but I cannot see it in the add-ons manager (although that is an entirely different question that I have already asked on this forum).

Do you have the Ask Toolbar installed? This is a known cause of this problem.
Check by clicking the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions. Remove it if you find it in there.
If not, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

    A few times a week

    Firefox is shutting down windows I want to remain open. Example: I am done viewing one window. I click the X to shut the window and it shuts two windows. Every single time, attempt to close one windows, two windows close. Lately, I have been opening several windows with nothing but google search, just so it will shut that window and not something else I want to remain open. I could understand this if I was using tabs, but I am not. This has been going on for over two weeks. I don't like going back to history to open a window, I did not want closed in the first place. Isn't that what 'Windows' is all about? Any ideas?

  • I am using a MacBook Pro and when I open a new tab in Firefox it opens to Trovi. Mozilla has a forum but solutions are all for the PC/Windows. How do I remove it?

    I am using a OSX MacBook Pro running Mavericks version 10.9.4 and using Firefox 30.0.  My Mac has recently been hijacked by a program called "Trovi". Whenever I open a blank new tab in Firefox the tab opens it opens with Trovi. The Mozilla forums offer support but all solutions are for users who run Windows. How do I remove Trovi from my Mac? Please help.

    Hey there! I answered this in another post a moment ago, this may be extremely helpful...I had the same problem until very recently with Trovi.

  • Opening a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar but then moves to the search field

    When I open a new tab in Firefox 16.0.1 the focus is on the address bar for a second or so then the focus moves to the search input field. If I start typing something the first character fills in the address bar then the rest is typed into the search field.
    How do I get the focus to remain in the address bar as per previous versions please?

  • How do you get new tabs on firefox to open to your home page?

    When I open new tabs in firefox they open to the blank "new tab" pg. How do i get them to open directly to my homepage on igoogle that opens when I start firefox?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage].

  • How do i open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared

    how do open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared - the tab grouping stuff is not intuitive

    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.<br />
    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.
    Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

    Open Office has been around for 15 years, almost as long as Mozilla. <br />
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org
    Sun Microsystems bought Star Office in 1999 for in-house use and then turned it into an open source project in 2000, to complete with Microsoft Office. Oracle shut down Open Office in 2011 after the buy-out of Sun. Shortly before the shut-down of Open Office by Oracle, the open source part of the project became split into separate factions - Adobe picked up the "official" name version, while many of the open source developers kept "things" going under the Libre Office name. <br />''There is also a "fork" called NeoOffice specifically for Mac OSX, available at the Mac App store (not free-though) .''
    As far as the "cloud" part for online storage goes, I have no interest in the "cloud" for storing documents, and I don't know how much any of the three forks is involved in cloud storage - '''but all three forks are so much more than being mere storage medium like a "cloud". They are a full feature suite that is very equal to what Microsoft offers with Office, Word, Excel, and Power Point.'''
    OO and LO can open and edit most Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. And they are primary supporters of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument Open Document Format for Office Applications].<br />
    The best thing is two of them are free open source projects, like with Mozilla. <br />

  • I can no longer open a new tab in firefox

    I cannot open a new tab in firefox. If I click on a link, a new tab opens, but if I use the new tab button or control t nothing happens. I used to be able to open multiple tabs, but suddenly this changed. Can you tell my why?

    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.
