On opening "new tab" function screen is blank and there is no tab icon in upper right .

clicking on '+' gives a blank page with no tabs of previous sites. No tab icon appears in upper right corner, no scrolling possible.
Using laptop with win7. Works properly in desktop using XP.

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref(s) on the about:config page.

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings. 
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made. 
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".

Used to have a little "OPEN NEW TAB" button to the right of the current tab. Since my upgrade to 6.0.1. this is gone. How can I get it back?

Thanks for the reply. My button was after the last tab until I upgraded. What I did was restore to default tool bar and the button was there. I then re customized my tool bar the way it was.
Thanks again for the help.

In the previous version of Firefox you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade.

I just installed Firefox 4. In the previous version you would open a new tab by clicking on the small "Open New Tab" button at the Right Hand Side of the Tabs. This button has now disappeared in my upgrade. Firefox help still says you can open a new Tab by using the "Open New Tab" Button so how do I get it back??

I got it back by going to "customize toolbar" and hitting "restore default set"! Now there is a small tab next to my open tabs with a "+" on it.

When I open my iphoto, the screen is blank and the wheel keeps spinning. I do I recover my photos and get iphoto to respond?

My iphoto is acting up. I hope I have not lost all of my pictures. When I open up iphoto, I get a blank screen. I have NO idea how to recover my photos. Also, the wheel keeps spinning and I cannot click on anything to force quit things so I have held my power button down to turn off the computer. Can someone please help me?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

3.6.4 now opens new tabs to the far right, rather than next to the current tab. why the change, and can I change it back?

When I right-click a link to open the context menu, and then select the menu item "open in new tab", the new tab is to the far right of my opened tabs in this window. In 3.6.3, the new tab would be next to my current tab. This seems like an arbitrary change. Is there a setting whereby I can get the old behavior?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to 3.6.4

Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

I have Power PCg5 running OS 10.4.11 It turns itself on from sleep condition. The screen is blank and there is no response to keyboard actions.

The screen is blank & the keyboard unresposive.
I power it down and then power up & reboot it.
It seems to run fine otherwise.

Most of the time that due to PCI cards, USB, or Firewire devices acting up.

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.

I recently installed an Add-On to my Safe Mode Firfox. Now it won't let me open new tabs. Why?

I just added the french dictionary and now I can't open new tabs. I can right-click and open links in new tabs, bu tI can't open blank ones.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Won't allow me to open new tabs

Firefox won't allow me to open new tabs anymore. When I click on the "open new tab" icon, nothing happens. How can I restore this feature to normal operation?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar add-on. It has a known compatibility issue with Firefox. See this article on the uninstallation steps: [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

Dual open new tab option

Just returned from a relative, who's also using FF. Much to my amazement, she has both a "Open new tab" icon on the menu bar and the "+" tab on the tab bar, whereas I can only drag it from one to the other, but there doesn't seem to be any way of having both options. It's not a very big deal, but sometimes it's useful to be able to open a new tab either way.
Is there any way of enabling this feature, and I'm not really afraid of editing any files to do so?

"Move To New Window" Does Not Work in Version 5. It opens a new window, but it's blank, and the tab I wanted as the new window stays where it is. Is this a bug?

Right mouse-clicking on a tab and selecting "Move To New Window" should open the contents of the tab in a new window, and then close the original tab on the original instance of FF. But in Version 5, that action simply spawns a new window that is totally blank, and the tab I wanted opened in a new window stays attached to the original window.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc

Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
