The Open a New Tab button does not work. I'm using Firefox 17.0 on Windows 7. Have restarted computer.

It had been working fine. Suddenly not working after no significant change to computer (that I'm aware of).

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • The "open a new tab" button does not open a new tab.

    The "open a new tab" button does not work. Neither does "file; new tab", or Control T. Can you please tell me how to fix this?
    Thank you.

    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 AskTbBCPA/3.13.1.18107

  • Open in new tab preference does not work

    Although i have tried all the options in your help pages and trouble shooting pages including deleting the prefs.nj file it still does not open url's in a new tab despite that preference being selected
    == immediately i instaleed friefox

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link in.
    That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.
    For other links you have to use a middle-click or press Ctrl and left-click or use the context menu.
    You need to left-click JavaScript links and divert them to a new tab or you get a blank tab.
    Some extensions that you can look at:

  • When I click on the "Open a new tab" button, nothing is happening. I've checked my settings but everything is fine, what's wrong?

    Just a couple days ago all of a sudden the "Open a new tab" button wasn't working and even going into "file" and then "open new tab" it doesn't open a new tab. I have to go into my bookmarks and right click "open in new tab" for any new tab to open. I've checked my settings and nothing is there about it. Is there anything that I can do to fix it?

    You're welcome

    I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
    Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
    Thank you.

    hello, please refer to [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]] in order to switch the feature off.

  • "Add New Tab" button does not exist in the Window -Customize Toolbar, and not on my Navigator toolbar. Where can I find one to put on my Navigator toolbar, please?

    I see "Add New Window" but..."Add New Tab" button does not exist in the Window -Customize Toolbar any longer, and not on my Navigator toolbar. Where can I find one to put on my Navigator toolbar, please?
    Thanks

    It's the "+" on the Tab bar. You can move it to the Navigation Toolbar if you prefer. When you start Customize, the + moves to the far right end of the Tab bar. You can drag it where you want (see attached image).
    Any luck?

  • 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

  • Open a New Tab feature is not working

    The Open a New Tab feature (the plus on the tabs toolbar) is not working

    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

  • My new orkut page does not works anymore after uptading firefox from Firefox v9.0.1 to 10

    My new orkut page does not works anymore after I uptaded this morning my browser firefox from Firefox v9.0.1 to 10 . How can I find that version mozilla Firefox v9.0.1???

    Hello, friend. Thank you so much. I've already solved the problem once you sent me that link.
    Cheers!

  • Upgraded to latest 3.6, new tabs button does not open new tab?

    The new tab button highlights but does not open a new tab when I click on it.

    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.

  • How do I change the tab setting so that when I open a new tab it does not leave the current tab view?

    Up until the other day, opening a link in a new tab via right click created the new tab but did not change my view to that new tab. However, since yesterday opening any new tab changes my view from the page I was browsing on to the new tab. Although it seems minor, this seriously negatively impacts the way I browse. Is there any way to change it back? I do not see it within the settings.

    Tools > Options > Tabs - is the last preference there check-marked??

  • Each time I click the "Open a New Tab" button, how do I make FF open to my homepage and why isn't this default behavior?

    Firefox does not default to your homepage when you manually open a new tab. It should do so.
    Is there a way to make FF do this? Is it an addon? If so, should this not be default behavior and just be incorporated into the browser?

    # Type ''about:config'' in Firefox's location bar
    # Find ''browser.newtab.url''
    # Double click on it
    # Paste your homepage link into the text box
    # Click ''Ok''

  • When I open a new tab it does not bring up my homepage. It brings up another sites search engine page.

    When I click on the new tab button, a small cross, it opens the new tab, but displays another sites search page, not my homepage. I cannot find where to tell it to open my homepage on all new tabs that are opened from the tab bar.

    The basic Firefox build has always opened a blank page when you open a new tab.
    Maybe some add-on you installed modified that feature of Firefox which now opens all tabs in a different page. Here's what you will need to do.
    Open Firefox -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. The tabs will now be opening in a blank page. You can Enable the add-ons again and check if its working properly.

  • The "New Tab" function does not work either from the tab bar, the File drop down menu or using CTRL+T

    The new tab is visible on the the tab bar but clicking on it does not open a new tab.Neither can I open a new tab from the File drop down menu, nor the Ctrl+T method as indicated in the troubleshooting guide.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' which many users have reported causing that problem.
