When I click on the "+" tab a new window does not open. Why?

Before today, when I clicked the "+" tab a new tab (window) opened. Now it does not. What changed?
I'm operating Firefox 3.5.3 -- Because I want the Google Toolbar.
Using Windows 7 on a Dell laptop.

Try downloading any small- sized free app and then try again.

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?

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.

Itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro

itunes does not open. When I click on itunes it jumps ones and does not open in macbookpro.NEED AN ANSWER NOW!!!

Hey sebasac,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with iTunes on a Mac. Let’s see if we can isolate this issue by starting iTunes in safe mode:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
If the above does not resolve your issue, I’d like to isolate further by testing in another user account:
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT1848 I synced my on my iPad 2 to my pc yesterday and now I can not open any of my apps on my iPad2, those purchased and those that are free. All it does if I click on the app is flicker but does not open. can anyone help?

I was told I could sync my music on my pc with my ipad2 by an apple agent. I hooked my ipad2 up to my pc and did so, but now I can not open any of my apps on my ipad2. when I try it just flickers and does not open. Can anyone help?

On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue.

How do I prevent Firefox from installing a new version when I click on the "Check for New Version" button? And why does it even do this?

I check for updates manually and this is frustrating because I can't stop it once it starts. There is no "Cancel" button or anything that will stop the update.
"Check for updates" does not mean "Install updates"

OK, I guess that's what I'll do. Thanks.
I do have to say it is kind of ridiculous for them to remove the "There is an update. Do you want to install it?" that every other application uses. Even FF plug-ins use one. Checking for an update should not automatically install it.
That is bad enough, but removing the "Cancel" button during the update download is one for the ages. Whatever happened to "user-friendly"? I guess they know what we need better than we do.

New Window does not Open

Using FF4: When selecting "New Window" on Mac, nothing happens. Same with trying to drag an existing tab off, it just gets rid of the tab instead of creating new window.

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.

I cannot get anything to download...the upper-left corner window to double-click after clicking on the RUN or SAVE window does not appear.

This occurred after I stupidly removed some programs I thought unneeded to free up space.

You are fantastic!!!I Did the "reset Firefox", and now I can download, the download window appears with something in it to double-click, and everything! Thank you...I have spent hours, days and months, many "help" sites, and a lot of frustration trying to get this to work; have spent over 6 hours just tonight trying sites that didn't work, and most of whom wanted to charge my grocery $ amount to get me to Premium Support techs. Thank you!

HT201209 The buy button in itunes does not open a new window and allow me to buy a purchase

Hello
We are having problems with iTunes. We have redeemed a voucher which does appear £25 but we can not Buy a purchase. The new window does not open like it used to.
We can not download the free singles either.
This has been happening for 2 weeks.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?

My firefox won't create a new tab when I click on the tab. It will create a new window. It worked fine till this morning. I've rebooted several time to see if that would make a difference. It doesn't.

I can only create tabs by clicking on a link in an email or a program or a link in the window I am viewing. It will NOT create a new tab when I click on the tab to create a new tab, nor will it create a new tab when I right click on the tab & click on create a new tab. I'm used to using tabbed browsing all the time & it's driving me nuts. HELP!
I have not downloaded any new updates on any software or downloaded any new software in the hours before this started happening.
Just to clarify about my original question. I meant to say that firefox will create a new window when I right click & click on create a new window but will not create a new tab when I click on create a new tab. I think what I wrote may have been somewhat confusing.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Moving tabs from one window to another makes the new window vanish. I have hot corners enabled so when I move up to the right corner of my display I can see all my open windows but when I click on the tab that I moved to make it its own window it vanishes

I came up with an alternative solution.
Instead of actually trying to move the JInternalFrame from one JDesktopPane to another, I added a single, maximized JInternalFrame to the left side. When one of the right side frames is to be docked, I merely copy its ContentPane to the single JInternalFrame on the left, set the original to be non-visible, and adjust the properties of the JSplitPane to make the "docked" frame appear.
When the "close" button on the docked frame is pressed, I simply undo this procedure to "undock" the frame and redisplay it on the right-hand side (with its content intact from the docked frame, but in its original position).

Lately, when i open a tab, it does not open on top of already open tabs. I am forced to minimize Firefox and then click on the tab in my bottom tray to open it? Why would that be?

This only started happening about 2 days ago. I will have tabs open, go to bookmarks and click on one. It seems that it is not opening but I then discovered that there is a tab at my desktop bottom tray that opened instead that I can click on to open the tab. However, it will not open unless I first minimize my bottom tray whole Firebox browser.

That is the default action when you open a new tab. There are extensions that you can install to change it from a blank page to whatever you want.
New Tab Homepage extension: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777 
and 
NewTabURL extension:

When I click on the "+" tab a new window does not open. Why?
