Safari (OSX 10.9) new tab does not work
I opened Safari after the Mavericks upgrade and, initially, it looked fine. Now when I open it, it does not work. I press command-T and a new tab does not appear; I press command-N and a new window does not appear. If I quit Safari and reopen it, the tabs show up. So the UI is not reflecting the input. I've removed all non-Apple internet plug-ins and I've removed all extensions, moved all plists to my desktop and I still have this behavior.
OK, so apple support had me reset my SMC amd PRAM. In resetting PRAM, I was able to run Disk Utility and repair permissions too. And it worked. Tabs and new windows show up and it's all responsive.

Safari 5 - Opening a new tab does not make it active
In Safari 4 if you open up a new tab, whether or not the "When new tab or window opens, make it active" option is checked, the new tab becomes active. In Safari 5 creating an new tab does not make it active. It doesn't matter what the option mentioned above is checked or not. I have to explicitly click on the tab to bring in in focus. Interestingly, in S5, creating a new window does bring the new window into focus.
Anyone else seeing this?But do you have the same problem as I, i.e. that tabs cannot be opened at all without launching Top Sites when using Saft?
This problem is much more serious than the non-focus problem. Here's another report of the same issue:

When I try to open a new tab using the "+" on the toolbar, nothing happens. Even trying to use the cntl t to open a new tab does not work. To open a new tab, I must right click on a hyperlink. how can I correct this? Using Firefox 3.6.18
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 -
Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
Why does right clinking on link and selecting open in new tab does not work?
It opens up a blank page. The only way to make the link work is to click on the navigation bar in the new tab and press enter to reload the link.Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
If not, see this: <br />

"Open a new tab" does not work, nor does File/New Tab
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 AskTbWCL2/3.12.2.16749

I also tried the new tab icon- doesnt work either. I re-downloaded 3.6.14, but still the problem
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.

The "Open a new tab" does not work
I've just updated to Firefox 3.6.17. When I try to open up a new tab by pressing the button on the right of the existing tab, nothing happens.
Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''', which has been reported to cause this problem. It is the responsibility of Ask to fix the problem with their toolbar. Click on "More system info..." to the right of your original question to see your User-agent which indicates that you have the Ask '''''Toolbar''''' installed.

That is the details. When I click on "new tab" it will not open a new tab in the current window. When I click on something that will open a new tab it works that way. I can open new windows, that is not problem This only happened the last week or so.
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 AskTbEPC/3.13.1.18107

Double clicking to open new tab does not work anymore
Am I loosing my mind?
I have been opening tabs like this for years, now it is not working.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
LauraHI Laura,
Check Safari Preferences then select Tabs. Make sure your preferences haven't changed for that then select the General tab. Check your tabs prefs there also.
If nothing is amiss there, go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache or Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
If that doesn't help, from the Safari menu bar click, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
Also, if you have any Safari Extensions installed or Safari third party unsupported add-ons, that could be why you are having problems with your Tabs.
For troubleshooting third party add-ons, follow the instructions here. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3230?viewlocale=en_US
You can access Safari Extensions in the Safari / Preferences pane.

I just upgraded to FF 4.0 on Win7 and I noticed that "Open in new tab" does not work
I just upgraded to FF 4.0 on Win7 and I noticed that when you click a link and select 'open in new tab' it copies over the correct link to the address bar but doesn't open it.
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 > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox 3.6.15, Windows 7, clicking on New Tab does not work -- what's the solution?
When I click directly on the + tab at the right of the tabs ("Open a new tab") nothing happens. When I R-click the mouse while hovering over the + tab and select New Tab, nothing happens. In other words, I cannot use the multi-tab capability of Firefox...any ideas on how to fix this?
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.

When I click on the tab with a + on it, located next to the active tab a new page does not open. If I click on "New Tab" in the File menu a new tab does not open.
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? -
When I click on the new tab button, a new tab does not open or when I go to file new tab a new tab will not open either.
Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.
