Suddenly I am limited to three tabs in a window. What setting did I change?

I must have changed some setting in Firefox so that the "new tab" button will not work for more that three tabs. Additional tabs require a new window. I can't find a way to reset to the default setting. TW

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi,
On the search results page, you can try changing the setting beside '''Results Window''' via the gear icon on the top right corner of the page. Please also see the '''Note''' on the bottom.

I'm unable to open a new tab on my window, what do I do?

I installed mozilla firefox 17.0.1 since then I'm unable to open a new tab when i click on the + icon on the right of the other tab.

You can also try to update to Firefox 18.

Another possible cause to consider is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
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.

Opening new tab does not display my home page by default, what setting do I change to achieve this?

When selecting the open new tab option, in the past, the tab opened displaying my designated home page. It now opens displaying a YAHOO! search page. My home page settings have not changed and continue to display the correct address, selecting 'home' brings up the correct home page, at any time during browsing. Is there another location where this 'invalid' new tab address might be listed, and removed or reset ?

VC you are a genius! I solved my problem with your solution.
Thanks a lot!

Why is the first tab in a window now hidden!!!???

Using Firefox 7.0.1 w/ Mac OS 10.6.8 for a while now but suddenly I noticed that the first tab in a window gets hidden. Then on the tab bar I have only the + add-a-tab tab and then the 2nd added tab, and onward. I can only decipher what is the first tab by clicking the down arrow at the very far right-hand side of the tab bar and there it is. But if I click on it, all i get is the window but still NO tab.
This becomes crucial when I'm trying to organize transfer tabs to a different window to clear space in the first window. Now that is simply impossible because there's no tab to grab and drag into another window Not!
Hopefully there's a simple fix, but I have not been able to find an answer yet by googleing. Thanks.

I think that it is a bug. 
I've seen it myself too. 
I see it all the time if I tear off a tab to open in a new window. 
There is only the plus sign to open a new tab nad opening a new tab opens that tab to the right of that New Tab plus sign. 
Closing the tab (Cmd+W) and restoring the tab (Shift+Cmd+T) fixes that problem for me.

All of a sudden I can no longer open tabs by clicking "+" or right clicking on the tool bar. To open a new page, I have to open a whole newFirefox window. How can I fix this?

Also, Firefox crashes frequently. Is there a fix for this also?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox 3.6 that prevents new tabs from being opened.
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
For the second issue, the [[Firefox crashes]] support article may help.

Everytime i open firefox it checks for updates, it freezes my computer because it opens three tabs.

every time i open Firefox it checks for updates, it freezes my computer because it opens three tabs. How do i get this to stop? The three tabs are the new welcome to Firefox, my homepage and the download helper update page. I have gone into options, advanced, unchecked all the boxes in the update section. I never thought i would say I'm going back to explorer... help. Thank You. I am currently running Firefox 6 and the newest download helper version.

I finally managed to fix this problem! You have to go into your program files and you will see another bearshare folder, this has two add on components for firefox. Go into the folders, and find the uninstall program tools.
One of them will uninstall here. There is a program called media mrg or something along those lines in your add ons for firefox. You need to delete this, and it should stop bearshare popping up in the tabs. Then just to make sure, I went back and deleted the bearshare folder. You know you have disabled all the right components when it will finally let you delete the folder.

Ipod Shuffle suddenly emptied after two to three days not use..

I had a problem which is my ipod shuffle suddenly emptied after two to three days i left in my room. What's the problem actually can be turn be like this since it's the first time i through it..please send me an email regarding this at [email protected] Thank You!

Okay, and thanks for re-posting your photos. I have to agree that it definitely does look like crimping and would expect any continuity checks run on it to show an open or two. That would certainly explain your symptoms, but it's not the answer for all such cases, i.e., BLD, being reported here.
I've now purchased two 'broken' Shuffle's on eBay, both coming off of M$ systems and reporting the blinkies. The first was Alive on Arrival and is still living happily on a daughter's eMac. The second was totally dead, with no reaction at all to anything I did; it's now disassembled, with no evidence of your crimping on the ribbon cable, while I mull over buying an LI battery and getting someone to solder it in for me.
In your place I'd certainly be taking my evidence to Apple and pointing out that, at the end of the day, it was just a matter of pure luck that it managed to last as long with this defect as it did. I think you should be able to convince them to give you some sort of satisfaction on this, but appreciate your desire not to go through the bother of it.

What is wrong? The "show my windows and tabs from last time" has not been working these past two or three days. It was fine before. Ive changed nothing except the last update from you. Thank you.

Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then make sure that Session is unchecked in the settings for the Firefox application.

Firefox always launches with three tabs -- my home page, a month old site from Slate and Huffington Post. Even uninstalling and reintalling doesnt solve problem.

Every time Firefox is launched, it opens with three tabs -- my home page, a month-old age from the slate website and the home page from the huffington post. EVERYTIME. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox and the problem persists.

I suddenly can't open a new tab. Why is that?

I can't click on the plus to open a new tab. When I right click and choose New Tab nothing happens. What's going on?

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.
