Why "DOESN'T" Firefox open a new Application in a "NEW TAB" Like it used to?

I want a new tab ope for each app. I am using so I can just click on the tab, and continue to work on that app. I "Don't" want to use the "History" and then wait for it to "Reload" that tab!! I want my tabs all open until I close them. Also, why isn't there an"X" in the current tba to be able to close it??

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. 
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab. 
For other links use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu. 
Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.
Some extensions that you can look at:
* Tab Utilities Lite: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/62581
* Tabberwocky: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/14439
* Tab Mix Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/1122

Whenever I click on a link, firefox opens a new tab instead of opening the link in the existing tab. How do I correct this?

I open firefox and type in CNN(or any other item). When the link appears I click on it. Instead of opening in the existing tab, firefox opens a new tab.

Thank you for this information. I love learning new things!

Is there a way to 'Force all Links to be opened in New Tabs ' like Maxthon browser?

Is there a way to get Firefox to 'Force all Links to be opened in New Tabs, like Maxthon browser does ? I really like this Maxthon feature but hate Maxthon as it has always has and continues to lock up all the time (what a pain!!)
Hoping Firefox can do this. By the way I know if you right click a link and ask for it to open in a new tab it will. I want it to be automatic.
Thank you

Question already asked and answered.
I gave an AppleScript and an other helper described a scheme relying upon standard features.

How do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

how do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

Try Ctrl+t
Most of the shortcuts should be listed on the full menus. To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key or press F10.
Oops, sorry, Ctrl+k duplicates the current tab. To do that in Firefox, click in the URL of the page and press Alt+Enter.
There also might be an add-on that creates a more convenient method.

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.

Hi bmail, I am attaching an illustration of cor-el's suggestion showing what it does since I wasn't aware of that before.

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

Why won't Pdf open in new tab

I have foxit pdf and is set to open in new tab ,but it won't

So, a PDF file will not open in Firefox using Foxit. Is that correct?
If so, there are 2 possible problems.
#I see that you have both the Adobe Reader Plugin and the Foxit Plugin enabled in Firefox. I do not know if the problem still exists as I do no have Adobe Reader on my system, but having both installed/enabled has caused a conflict in the past. Disable the Adobe Reader Plugin ( Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 11.0.0 ) in ''Add-ons > Plugins'' and test to see if the problem is corrected.
#Also, check your settings in ''Options > Applications'' to see which Plugin you are using for PDF display.
#*See (in section "Changing download actions") - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file (NOTE: with Adobe Reader Plugin disabled, you will not see it as an option; you will see "Foxit Reader PDF document")
For problems with the Foxit Reader and the Foxit Reader Plugin for Firefox, you can post on the Foxit forum - http://forums.foxitsoftware.com/forum.php

Firefox will not let me open a new tab if I use ctrl + t or even right click and click on new tab it still does not open one. What do I do?

See I like to research things and listen to music on Youtube.
And well I got online a couple days ago to check my Facebook and it wouldn't open a new tab so I could go to Youtube.
I've installed the '''New Tabs at the end''' add-on and still nothing. I could really use the help.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbCDS/3.12.1.16460
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)

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't I open a new tab manually?

All of a sudden I am not able to manually open a new tab. It was working fine until yesterday. I click on the "plus" and nothing happens.

Hello maxkufan, start firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#os=win7&browser=fx17 Safe Mode] and check it again, in Safe Mode window select '''''"Start in Safe Mode"''''' and see if this happen again,''''' if not '''''see: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#os=win7&browser=fx17 Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]

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.

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!

When I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?

Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back.
Thank you so much.

You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.

Why doesn't Firefox go to my Home page when I open a new tab? It used to.

It should at least be a selectable option

was there really a large selection of the population who preferred a useless blank page over the homepage they have chosen themselves??? And every solution I read suggests "middle clicking" the home button. I DON'T HAVE A MIDDLE BUTTON. Ctrl-clicking is ridiculous for something so simple, I prefer using CTRL T to open new tabs. I'm not saying it should be default but they could have at least made it an option.

Why "DOESN'T" Firefox open a new Application in a "NEW TAB" Like it used to?
