Why won't Firefox let me open new tabs?

When I click on "open a new tab" nothing happens. It was working one day and stopped the next(??). I have tried the settings, re-downloading, nothing seems to help. Thank you.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser. Anyone know how to fix this?

Since updating last time Firefox will not open new tabs unless I right click on a link. It won't open them via file or the tab at the top of the brwoser or usinf ctrl + t. Anyone know how to fix this?

I can press ctrl for a new tab but otherwise a new tab does not open. I actually need help regarding this new Synch which apparently will be in Firefox automatically in an upcoming version so I am asking how that will synch with people who use LastPass-of course because I use this very successfully and really am not eager to change the set up that I have in place at this time.
I have read through endless FAQ trying to find anyone else who has this question or concern but have found nothing. Can you please tell me how that service will get along with LastPass which does basically the same thing as Synch-it is probably spelled wrong as it looks wrong to me but if I click back to where this issue began, I will lose all of this question so please respond for the upcoming service synch.

Won't allow me to open new tabs

Firefox won't allow me to open new tabs anymore. When I click on the "open new tab" icon, nothing happens. How can I restore this feature to normal operation?

Uninstall the Ask toolbar add-on. It has a known compatibility issue with Firefox. See this article on the uninstallation steps: [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

I have a new MacBook Pro. I am using firefox, but my homepage is set to google. Firefox constantly keeps opening new tabs to its own homepage by itself. How can I disable this feature?

Hi [email protected]
If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

I just reinstalled firefox, when I open new tabs it opens internet explorer, but the firefox ICON is in the top left

Do you have an extension like IE View or IE Tab that opens pages in Firefox sing IE as the rendering engine?

Firefox won't let me open new tabs. I have restarted, I've done the drop down, I've clicked on the "+" but nothing happens.

I cannot open new tabs & it is really frustrating. I've tried the drop down to open new tab, I click on the + but nothing happens. Can anyone help?

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

I recently installed an Add-On to my Safe Mode Firfox. Now it won't let me open new tabs. Why?

I just added the french dictionary and now I can't open new tabs. I can right-click and open links in new tabs, bu tI can't open blank ones.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Firefox will not open new 'tabs', not sure if its disabled, but does anyone know how to enable the use of my tabs?

Firefox will not open any tabs on my browser. I've tried using all alternatives to open a new tab - using the 'plus' (+) button doesn't work, 'control + T' doesn't work, going to File and clicking 'new tab' doesn't work either? Help please!

Your suggestion worked! Thanks!

How can I get Firefox 8 to open new tabs at the end?

Hi,
I know there's a way to make Firefox open new tabs at the end instead of this really annoying forced 'open new tabs next to open tab behaviour'. Can anyone help me find it?
Thanks!
Evan

You can set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

Firefox does not open new tab

I have been using Firefox 3.6 and it works quite well, except that a week ago it stopped opening new tabs (when you click on the + sign for new tabs). Cannot find any help in the Firefox help pages.
(Before you tell me to upgrade to 4.0, I did that and it crashes at least once a day, which practically never happened with 3.6.)
I'm using a Lenovo T510t and Windows 7

Firefox crashes when opening new tab

Crash-ID: bp-681f1751-fc5b-4f14-a30b-f93ed2150407
I have tryed:
Clean install (with removing of C:prog..\mozilla)
Uninstalling and deleting extensions
Restarted Firefox in safe mode without addons/extensions.
Uninstalling/updating flash/adobe
I can start firefox, but when i press the "+" to open a new tab Firefox closes and "Mozilla Crash-report" window opens.
It seems like firefox it self can open a tab. For example when i do a fresh installation, Firefox opens with 2 tabs.
But when i want to open one it fails and Firefox shuts down. Its really wierd because i have never run in to this kind of problem before and i dont recall installing anything new before this problem showed up.

What is the setting of the new tab page?
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Thx! For some reason the string was set to "about:newtab" or something like that. Changed the name to my default homepage and the problem was fixed. Any ideas on why this happend? I didn't change it myself.
Never the less! Thank you for saving my haircolour from turning gray of frustration. Was worried i had to turn to Chrome or.... IE....

Latest version of firefox is sluggish opening new tab

This has been an ongoing problem on last several updates and definitely intermittent ,but seems worse in last two updates.Mostly when opening new site locations.

See Help > Troubleshooting Information
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Using+the+Troubleshooting+Information+page
*Extension List Dumper: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/extension-list-dumper/
You can also create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
That will allow you to revert to the original profile if it didn't help or you are able to identify the cause.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Why won't Firefox let me bring up the uploaded pages of the San Quentin News.

I’m totally confused by new Firefox behavior concerning my Wordpress blog for the San Quentin News, the prison newspaper I advise that is the only prison newspaper in California and one of the few in the world. www.sanquentinnews.com. The problems don’t arise when I use Safari on either my iMac, my wife’s iMac or our iPad. Just Firefox, and just recently.
The three Pages I created on the Wordpress blog (Home, Welcome and Comment) still work fine. But the upload pages for the paper’s various issues – Current Issue and Back Issues – don’t work as they did many months before with Firefox.
When I uploaded the May issue, using the same procedure for media uploads that had worked before, things fell apart.
After uploading the new issues I tried to access Current Issue and Back Issues. What happens is this: The first time I select an issue sometimes it comes up correctly, with the image filling the screen and the blue scroll bar down the right side that enables me to scroll to all eight pages. But next time I try to access that issue, either nothing happens (blank screen) or when the issue finally comes up after a long delay, it is the first page of the issue centered on the desktop and with no blue scroll bar with which to access other pages.
Please help! I like the many features of Firefox, but not this one.

Hi funkyjeans-
I would suggest altering your printing preferences for Firefox. There is a Support article that describes how to do that here:
[[Options window - Applications panel]]
I hope that helps.
