The button to open a new tab is missing from each tab in Firefox 7

I have Win 7 and Firefox 7 on my PC. I used to have the + to open a new tab on the right end of the open tab. That is gone now, though when I loaded Firefox 7 on my PC at work (Win XP) it had the = on the tab, before it crashed and would not open again. I have to run 3.16(?) on that computer.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

TS4123 A recent download of an iTines update - for whatever reason - failed on my computer. Since then I get a system error statement telling me that the program cannot open because 'MSVCR80.d11' is missing from my computer. When I attempt to open iTune

A recent download of an iTunes update, for some unknown reason, failed on my computer. Since then I get a system error message everytime I log on telling me that the program cannot be opened because 'MSVCR80.d11' is missing from my computer. When I try to open iTunes I get an 'error 7 (Windows error 126)' message and am advised to reinstall iTunes. However, when I attempt to do this, it downloads the programme and gets as far as installation, at which point I get yet another message: this time 'Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start'.
I am at a loss to know what to try next and would appreciate any assistance. I'm also concerned that, in the process of reinstalling iTunes, I am going to lose all the music I have collected over the years.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Since the update, my browser is reacting much slower. I can no longer click the "+" button to open a new tab. What may I be able to do to remedy these issues?

In addition to what I included in my "question," the refresh button is also not working.

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

The + button or "open a new tab" does not correspond. I also tried with Ctrl+T but I can not open a new tab unless I click on a link in the existed tab. What can I do?

I have seen nothing relevant in options

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

The "+" to add a new tab is missing from my tabs in Firefox 4. How do I restore that "+" so I can quickly add a tab to the tab bar?

The "+" to add a new tab has disappeared after installing Firefox 4.0. How do I restore it? I am talking about the tab bar at the top of the screen

Restore your default toolbar by going to Customize - Restore Default Set. I just found it out myself.

Has anyone had trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button lately?

Hi gang. Since v29 came out, I have been having trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button.
Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times.
Has anyone else had any problems? I use an add-on called
'''''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mclickfocustab/?src=collection&collection_id=33bf10fa-666d-45a2-9bc9-491ce21671c6 MClickFocusTab]'''''
I disabled it but the problem was still there.

''''' "Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times." '''''
Sounds like a mouse on its' way to mouse-heaven. Seriously, the exact symptoms I have seen with a dozen 3 button mouse's (?meese - ?mice) over the last 15 years. 
Not registering a click is usually due to a dirty contact. And the "double-click" is when the flat spring looses tension and bounces.
I have had similar happen with the left button, too. But when it happens to that button it is more noticeable much sooner.
I bought a box of a dozen A4D house branded infrared wireless 3-button mouse's for like $24.00 back in 2000 that were on clearance because the driver disk didn't support W2K, only Win95, 98, and NT4. I got newer drivers from the A4D website and wore all 12 out over the 8 or 9 years. I even fixed a few that broke from the parts from other broken mouse's. I still have 6 or 7 of them laying in the "needs to be fixed" box under my workbench. I'll probably never fix them though, the nano receiver USB mouses I have been using for the 4 or 5 years have much better battery life and lately only need one AA battery.

Why does my Safari homescreen shortcut on my iPad NOT have a url address bar or the ability to open a new tab?

Why does my Safari homescreen shortcut on my iPad NOT have a url address bar on top or the ability to open a new tab? When I open my homescreen shortcut and click on a link which would normally open a new tab I get the white screen od death ( in Safari). ???

2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

The botton to open a new tab is not working. How I can solve this issue?

the bottom next to the tabs, the one that opens a new tab fast is not working, also the ctrl+T keyboard command is not working also. The only way to open a new tab is right click on the mouse, but always on some link, I can not open a new blank tab.
Thanks

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.

I no longer have the option to open a new tab in Firefox 4. How do I get that back?

I downloaded Firefox 4, but now I no longer have the option to open a new tab. Can I get that feature back?

In Firefox 4 Menu click on Tools -> Options -> Tabs -> Check mark 'Always show tab bar'.

Is there any way to to have the "Home" icon open a new tab instead of replacing the current page with the home page?

I would prefer that the "Home" icon on the Navigation Toolbar open a new tab instead of replacing the current tab with the home page. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thank you.

If you middle-click on the home icon it will open a new tab containing the home page.

Can I chnge the context menu "open in new tab / window" options back to the previous version (reverse order)?

In Firefox 4, the context menu "open in new tab / open in new window" options are in reverse order compared to 3.6. Can this be "fixed," i.e. change the menu item order? I use this feature constantly and it's a matter of habit, also still use some 3.6 machines.

You can use the Menu Editor extension to re-arrange the menus - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor

The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I check the check box

The "when I open a new link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" check box is not checked but it acts as if I have checked the check box.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after I install the Persona themes

I was having the same problem and was looking for solutions when I came across this posting. Disabling GoodSearch solved the problem for me. Hopefully GoodSearch will update soon and resolve the issue permanently so I can use it again.
