Why can't I open a new Tab with the "Plus" sign or "Command-T"?

If I want to open a New Tab, I either press "Command T" or select "New Tab" from the File menu, or click the little "plus" sign in my Tabs bar - - - right? None of them work. What am I missing?

This problem in is Firefox on your Mac?
May users have discovered this problem is caused by Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.

  • Why can I not open a new tab in the new Firefox? (via the + sign or Ctrl T)

    In the new interface on Firefox (which started for me today ... May 2 ...), I cannot open a new tab via the "+" sign along the top or by using Ctrl + T. If I want more than one thing open at the same time, I need to open a "New Window", which doesn't make much sense. I don't necessarily want a bunch of windows but may need a few tabs open at the same time.

  • Why can't I open a new tab? The + is there, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I've even tried File - New Tab. Still nothing!

    Suddenly, I am unable to open a new tab. I can click on a link and open a tab that way, but if I want to open several sites on my own, I have to open a new browser. I've tried clicking the +, and clicking File - New Tab. Neither are working. I've even checked Tools - Options - Tabs. That didn't work, either. Please help!

  • Why can't I open a new tab for the same website? Want to disable 'switch to tab'.

    I used to be able to open multiple tabs for the same website on Firefox 3.xx. I could download files from one tab and work from another. How can I disable the 'switch to tab' function?

    You can disable it by using the Switch to Tab no more add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more

  • When I search for something, firefox opens a new tab with the results. How can I change the settings to where it will all stay in the same tab?

    When I search something Firefox automatically opens a new tab with the results of this search. How do I change the settings to where the results will appear in the same tab as where I conducted the search?

    Whether to open search results in new window most often is a setting of the search engine you are using.

  • How to open a new tab with the same current directory in a terminal?

    I use the following script to open a new terminal with the same pwd.
    I'm wondering how to modify it to open a new tab with the same pwd.
    #!/bin/sh
    # Open a new terminal in the cwd
    CWD=`pwd`
    osascript<<END
    set thePath to "$CWD"
    set myPath to (POSIX file thePath as alias)
    try
    tell application "Terminal"
    activate
    do script with command "cd \"" & thePath & "\""
    end tell
    end try
    END

    bit of a hack, but the make command doesn't seem to work for tabs in terminal. replace what's currently in the 'try' block with this code:
    tell application "Terminal" to activate
    tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Terminal"
    keystroke "t" using command down
    end tell
    end tell
    tell application "Terminal"
    do script "cd " & (quoted form of thePath) in last tab of window 1
    end tell

  • Can't open a new tab with the + for tabs. Can open with Mid mouse button. Nightly.

    When I click The + to open a new tab in Nightly, it does nothing. I can open new tabs with mid ouse button, or right click>open in new tab. Just cant open a new tab via the + button. Started 3 updates ago in nightly (3 days ago pretty much).

    Are you using a 32 bit Nightly build or a 64 bit Nightly build?
    The 64 bit Nightly build for Windows is only generated to test for compilation errors and doesn't undergo all the tests that other builds get, so the risk that something goes wrong can be quite high.<br />
    So if you do use the 64 bit version then try the 32 bit version to see if you still have this problem.
    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).

  • What happened to the little tab with the Plus sign to create an empty tab?

    I recently upgraded from v3.6 through several versions to v8.01 of Firefox. There used to be a small tab with a plus sign at the end of the tab bar that allowed me to create a new empty tab. It seems to have disappeared somewhere beyond v4.0
    What happened to it and how do I get it back? Yes I know I can turn on the toolbar button for a new tab, but having it at the end of the tab bar is more natural to use.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    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.<br />
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    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.<br />

  • Why can't I open a new tab manually?

  • I can't seem to open a new tab with the keyboard shortcut or the plus sign thing next to an already open tab to open another one. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    This didn't happen until yesterday night after I updated to Firefox 3.6. So now I have to resort to right clicking then choosing to open a new tab from there.

    When I click on the new tab + sign or File-New Tab I get nothing. If I tell a bookmark to open in a new tab, that works, but that's a pain.

  • Why can I not open a new tab?

    I have three tabs open. There is the "+" tab to open a new one. When I click on this "+" tab or I select FILE->NEW TAB....then a new tab will not open. I am currently limited to three tabs.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

  • Why can`t I open a new tab when I press + on a tab track, which is for opening new tabs?

    it`s not working. new tabs open only when I click on a link. ctrl+T doesn`t function as well!

    Uninstall 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.
    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
