New tabs will not open despite installing the add on

Hey! Have I disabled new tab opening somehow? Have looked throughly through menu bars, also installed the suggested add on (new tabs at the end), but the + button to the right of open tabs won't open a new one, nor will ctrl+t or right click new tab. Can right click a link and open it in a new tab. Been a problem for a few months... about time I sought some advice :)
Cheers, Katrina

Try uninstalling 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.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

    Well, it is showing as being install in the version of Firefox that you posted here with.
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.21) Gecko/20110830 '''AskTb'''AD3/3.12.2.16749 Firefox/3.6.21
    ''''' "and whenever I click on a bookmark, it opens in a new tab automatically" '''''
    Probably caused by an extension, or a couple of extensions that are in conflict with each other. <br />

  • Additional tabs will not open when clicking the "+" tab at the top of the screen or by clicking "file + new tab"

    I've been using Firefox for several years and just ran across a problem within the past two weeks. I usually have several tabs open at the same time while browsing the Internet. Suddenly, when I tried to open a new tab by clicking on the "+" tab at the top right of the screen, a new tab would not open. Then I tried clicking on "file + new tab" and a new tab still won't open. If I click on a link within an email, then a new tab will open, but I cannot choose to open a new tab. Please help! Thanks! :)

    In addition to the above:
    Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.
    You can uninstall and remove Java Console extensions, you do not need them to run Java applets.

    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • A new tab will not open when i select the division symbol

    when i select the division symbol at the end of my tabs a new tab no longer opens... it has done previously... how do i get this functionality restored?

    Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13, disable that extension or un-install it.

  • When I click on New Tab a new tab will not open, new window does open, how do I open new Tab? used to work

    New Tab feature no longer works, only new window

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • A new tab will not open except will when I use Foxfire help. Nothing works. My setting are to open new tabs but it doesn't work. Why?

    Foxfire won't let me open a new tab. I have my setting set to open a new tab. I've clicked on it and nothing happens. I've right clicked and selected open new tab and nothing happens. When I go to Foxfire for help it will open a new tab for help. When I try to use this tab to browse, anything in the other window gets shut down.

    1. In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.
    2. In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
    3. In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
    4. Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled.
    I found this solution and it worked!

  • New tab will not open in newly updated firefox

    When you click on the "+" sign to open a new tab, nothing happens. Same thing when you select "file" and "new tab" or press ctrl+T. I have rolled back this version of firefox three days in a row and it keeps updating to this version.
    I need to be able to open a new tab and access all of my most often used sites. PLEASE HELP. I don't want to go back to IE.

    hello, this is most probably caused by an incompatible addon - in case you have tab mix plus installed, try to update it to its latest version on its homepage...

  • New tabs will not open

    I cannot open a new tab from the file menu nor from the new tab "+" to the right of my page. It will only open a new tab when directed there as part of a link from something I may click.
    Thank you!

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbALSV5/3.12.2.16749

  • New tabs will not open (ctrl-T, mouse click or menu)

    For some reason I cannot open a new tab unless I right click on a hyperlink on the existing tab and select "open in new tab". When I click "File/New Tab" nothing happens. When I click the plus sign on the tab list nothing happens. When I press Ctrl T nothing happens.
    By the way, IE has the same problem and started at the same time.

    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.

  • After installing windows updates, new tabs will not open, either on toolbar, ctl t or under file

    it will open a new window. Only known on laptop because windows up completely crashed my desktop. Computer hell.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    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
