No new tab will open in Firefox-not ctrl t, not in the file menu, not on the plus sign on the open tab

I use Firefox 3.6 on a windows xp sp 3 desktop. I cannot open a new tab in Firefox. I uninstalled the program, reinstalled the newest update, 3.6.1.4 still nothing. Not in the file menu, on the plus sign on the open tab, control T, none of it opens a new tab. I can open a new window but----

There is a reported incompatibility between current Firefox versions and the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. Until Ask fixes the problem, disable or un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''.

Cannot choose "Import" on the file menu - not highlighted

trying to import bookmarks from IE - on the file menu of Firefox the "Import" choice is not highlighted and cannot be selected - why? This may be a basic error on my part somewhere .

Try importing them via the bookmarks organizer.
# In the menus select "Bookmarks", and then "Organize Bookmarks..." to open the bookmarks organizer (also known as the Library)
# In the Library select "Import and Backup" and then "Import HTML"
Does this give you the option to import from Internet Explorer?
If it does not, export the favorites in IE to an HTML file, and then import the HTML file into Firefox. This process is described in the [[Importing Internet Explorer Favorites from another computer]] article.

How can I get the file menu NOT to display in the title bar?

For Firefox I know I can go into about:config and set "browser.draw.tabs.defaultDrawInTitlebar" and "browser.draw.tabs.DrawInTitlebar" to false, but I have no idea about Thunderbird since I don't know how to access the about:config page or if there even is one.

You can access about:config from Options > Advanced > General > Config Editor.

In Firefox 8 on Mac OS 10.7.2, the file menu doesn't list "Import"

I just installed Firefox 8 on my Mac that is running OS 10.7.2. When I went to the File menu to import my bookmarks from Safari, the "Import" option was not there.

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

I installed new version 4. Whenever I double click on any htm or html document it will not open with firefox it gives a message window saying "Windows can not file path please type correctly" (not extact these words) .. It was working when old firefox was there..

Phillipp,
I tried it again using "save link as", and this time it actually worked! I just now downloaded several more using the "save link as" option, and it works perfectly. Thanks. Problem solved.

When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
Thanks!

That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

When I click on 'open a new tab' or if I select 'new tab' from the file menu a new tab does not open. It used to.

That makes sense. You already have a Sync account with that email address, so it's already in use. If you want to use that same email but you can't remember the sync key follow the steps provided [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20Sync%20is%20not%20working?s=sync&as=s#w_ive-lost-my-sync-key-what-can-i-do here].
The other option is to delete your account in the following address: https://account.services.mozilla.com/account/delete and start from scratch.

I cannot open a new browser window by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.

I can open only 1 browser window and I can't open another or multiple windows by double clicking Firefox icon or selecting NEW WINDOW from the file menu.
Looking forward to your earliest reply.
Thanks and regards,

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Do you have a link to that document?

All of a sudden I can no longer open a new tab using either the icon on the tab bar, the keyboard short cut or the File menu option. I can open a new tab ONLY by clicking on a bookmark or link.

I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.
