Tabbed browsing does not work when i click on (+) or thru file-new tab also?

When i wish to open a new tab either by clicking mouse over the + sign on the current tab or by file-new tab menu access, tabs are not opened. it works only when clicking on links in present window. earlier i could open tabs at will.

Disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar extension, there's a problem with it in Firefox 3.6.13.

I cannot get a new tab to open in FF 18. It doesn't work whether I click on + or do Fil; New Tab. Can anyone tell me what's wrong?

The new tab opens when I click a link in the existing window, but, not when I click the + or File; New Tab. It always worked in previous versions. I tried re-installing, but, that didn't fix it either.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#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.

WHEN i UPDATED TO 4, THE GOOGLE DROPDOWN DOES NOT WORK WHEN I CLICK ON THE ITEM I WANT TO GO TO LIKE IT DID WITH THE OLD VERSION.

I INSTALLED 4 AND NOW WHEN I TYPE IN THE GOOGLE SEARCH AND AN ITEM IN THE DROP DOWN IS CHOSEN, IT DOES NOT GO TO THAT LINK. THE FEW LETTERS I HAVE TYPED IS ALL THAT SHOWS UP IN THE BOX AFTER I CLICK THE ITEM IN THE DROP DOWN.

Can I change back to the older version of Firefox

I've followed instructions, but tabbed browsing does not work.

Sometimes a new tab will be established, not consistently.

The Ask toolbar is known to create problems with opening tab. Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again.
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

HT2844 My front headphone jack does not work when connecting a head phone to a new mac pro desktop computer. The sound still comes from the speakers. Any solutions?

The front headphone jack on my new mac pro desktop computer does not transmit sound when connecting a headphone or ear buds. The sound still comes from the speakers and is not redirected to the head phone. The port has never worked. Any solutions?

okay, try option-clicking on the speaker icon on the top of your screen. That should bring up a list of sound output options. including headphone. You could try messing around with Audio MIDI. It may be possible that the thing is still stuck inside the headphone jack. Careful use of a toothpick may get it unstuck. I dunno, I've never had a problem with the headphone jack. If all else fails, call Apple or take 'er in for an appointment

A new tab does not open when I click the + next to the current tab. How can I get it to work?

This feature used to work.

Remove '''''Ask Toolbar''''' as it is a problematic extension that often causes that problem. See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons and http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot%20uninstall%20an%20add-on
You need to update some plug-ins:

Opening a link using "open link in new window" does not work. I can only use "open in new tab" option. Is this normal with the Firefox 4?

I really don't have any more info. When I upgraded my Firefox to the latest version I have noticed that I can 't use this Open in new window option any more. I have reinstalled the software using its US English version( first time I have chosen the UK English version) but to no avail.

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.

* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.

Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list.

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+ tab number does not work, is that intended functionality?

When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has the focus.
In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work.

A new window does not open when I click on the new tab "plus" sign. How do I 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.

The dropdown list in the address bar does not work when clicked

In the address bar the dropdown list icon does not work when clicked. I have tried resetting everything in safemode and it still doesn't work. When I click on the icon it just highlights the entire address line.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How do I check internet usage history? When i use the "History" tab on the tool bar all I see is today's activity & the calendar does not change when I click on it. Thanks

How do I check internet usage history? When i use the "History" tab on the tool bar all I see is today's activity & the calendar does not change when I click on it. Thanks

zedzed,
Here's another thought.
Navigate to HD > Users > Library > Safari: Make a duplicate of History.plist.
To duplicate the file, click once to highlight it. Press the Command + D keys.
Drag the History,plist copy file to the Desktop.
Highlight it. Press the Command + I keys, to get info.
Change Open With to TextEdit.
When you open the file in TextEdit, it will be difficult to read, but you will be able to pick out some sites.

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?

My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?

Reset Firefox to its default state

:system.cursor_block value does not change when mouse click

Form created with Forms version 6.0.8.8.0. Consists of a control block that has the toolbar buttons, a filter control block that contains item, and a data block. The filter control block and data block are on a tabbed canvas. There are 3 tabs with corresponding filter control block and data block on each.After the data block is queried, code sets the navigation to the control block with the go_item built-in. The user would use a mouse click on the filter control block on one of the tabs to activate an LOV, code is in a generic when-mouse-click trigger that will determine the item focus with the value in the system variable :system.cursor_block. Works for the first tab. Does not work for 2nd or 3rd tab. On-error trigger does not capture any error. Values for :system.cursor_block for tab 1 show that value before mouse click is 'control.detail' and after mouse click is 'filter.a'. For tabs 2 and 3 the value before mouse lick is 'control.detail' and after mouse click is 'control.detail' instead of 'fiter.b' or 'filter.c'. Verified that the 3 filter blocks are identical. Can anyone shed some light on this anomoly? I have been looking for this solution (many different iterations and changes to trap it) for too long.

:System.Cursor_Block reports the name of a block, NOT a BlockName.ItemName.
Use :System.Trigger_Item with your mouse click, or :System.Cursor_Item.

Tab key does not work

This is very strange, please read.
My tab key does not work. It will not move from one text field to another.
I have checked my keyboard settings. "Full keyboard access:" is at the default "Text boxes and lists only".
I have deleted this user and recreated the user, and with the completely new user the tab key does not work. Other users on the machine it DOES work.
This is happening now on 3 of our 5 machines.
Lastly, when I turn on the keyboard viewer (International/Input Menu/Keyboard viewer: it shows you what key the system thinks you are pressing when you press a key on the keyboard), it shows that when I press the tab key, the Command key is being held down instead. It's not showing that the tab key is being pressed.
Has anyone seen this previously? Again, it's happening on 3 of our 5 machines (some users the tab key works, some users it doesn't). These are fresh user creations (no special software installed, no prefs changed, etc...)
Thank you for any info!!!

"Repair Disk Permissions" from Disk Utility may help.
Also, cmd-opt-n-v (Clear NV RAM) may help as well.
