Win 7 Firefox 3.6.13, new tab won't open when clicked, on desktop or laptop.

I cannot open a new tab in Firefox 3.6.13, running Windows 7. It doesn't work on my desktop, or my laptop. When I click on the "+" to add a tab, or right click on it and choose "New Tab", nothing happens.

I don't have an AskToolbar, nor a Yahoo toolbar. Between updating Firefox to 3.6.13, and MS Patch Tuesday last night, I cannot use right click to open a new window. I can open a link using right click and 'in new Tab' -- but I don't LIKE tabs! Lots of links on various pages won't open at all (it may be all of the links, I haven't tried ALL of them).
I tried reverting to 3.6.12, and the same problem occurred. Does that mean it came from Microsoft? Re-updated to 3.6.13 and it remains broken. So frustrated I want to cry!

  • New tab does not open when clicking on + tab

    I'm trying to open a new tab. I click on the + tab and nothing happens

    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

  • When I try to open a new tab by using ctrl+t or by any other method, a new tab won't open. How do I fix this???

    i try to open another tab by using control+t, or by going to fill and pressing new tab, or by clicking the plus sign to add another tab, but none of these work and a new tab won't open.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

    I've upgraded to FF4 uing windows 7 64-bit - won't open when click on shortcut, have tried to reinstall etc, prev ok with version 3+

    I found something that could be a workaround ... wel at least it's gotten me one step further (windows 7 now recognizes the scanner as the right device (symbol usb sync cradle), but step 8 keeps failing.
    source : http://www.pocketpcjunkies.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx/wince/5660/Windows-CE-5-or-6-with-Vista-and-Windows-Mobile-Device-Center
    1. Install WMDC 6.
    2. Plus the Windows CE based device.
    3. Close the "Found new hardware" wizard.
    4. Right-click on "Computer" and select "Manage"
    5. Open the Device Manager, then select the Windows CE based device.
    6. Right-click and select "Update driver..."
    7. In the wizard, select "pick from a list..."
    8. In the list, select "Microsoft USB Sync [Microsoft]".
    9. ... nothing else! It works!
    Anything else I could try now?The first time I tried step 8, the microsoft usb sync driver was in the list but I got an error while updating the driver. The second time, it didn't appear on the list anymore. I'm thinking this is more of a 64-bit driver problem.
    Thanks, Joachim

  • IMessage won't open when clicking on icon.  Is there a fix?

    Messages icon won't open when clicking on the icon since downloading Maverick.  Is there a fix?

    Hi,
    Open the Font Book and check the AppleGothic Font is Active, not duplicated and Validates (File Menu).
    In the list of fonts it is a long way down.
    After that check Helvetica Neue and Lucida Grande.
    The first deals with the iMessages Login.
    The next is the Font used in the app to display the text.The last is the one that title the Group Bars in Buddy lists (even if you don't show then you need this)
    If they check out go to Applications/Utilities and open the Disk Utility and then Repair Permissions.
    This checks them against the database on the Mac which is updated when the apps and OS are updated.

  • Additional tabs will not open when clicking the "+" tab at the top of the screen or by clicking "file + new tab"

    I've been using Firefox for several years and just ran across a problem within the past two weeks. I usually have several tabs open at the same time while browsing the Internet. Suddenly, when I tried to open a new tab by clicking on the "+" tab at the top right of the screen, a new tab would not open. Then I tried clicking on "file + new tab" and a new tab still won't open. If I click on a link within an email, then a new tab will open, but I cannot choose to open a new tab. Please help! Thanks! :)

  • A new tab will not open when i select the division symbol

    when i select the division symbol at the end of my tabs a new tab no longer opens... it has done previously... how do i get this functionality restored?

    Caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13, disable that extension or un-install it.

  • IN my latest download, 30.0, whenever I open Firefox I get all the tabs I had open when I closed it. I would like only my home pages to open. I have gone to opt

    I have gone to 'options' many times to set it to always open with my home page, but it continues to open with the tabs I had open when I closed Firefox.I there a problem with Firefox 30.0?

    You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
    You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Firefox won't open when clicked in the dock on my Mac

    Mac Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8, Firefox icon in dock, won't open when clicked

    As a point of clarification, does Firefox launch if you double click it from your Applications folder through the desktop (Finder)? If yes, right click (or Ctrl-click) on the Firefox icon in your Dock and choose Remove From Dock, then drag it on again from your Applications folder. The only other thing I can think is if it's already running but with its window hidden, clicking it again in the Dock might not be bringing it up. In that case try a Force Quit (from the Apple menu at top-left of your screen, click Force Quit..., choose Firefox in the list and click the Force Quit button).

  • New Tab won't open a new tab

    For the past two days I have not been able to open a new tab after my home pages have loaded. The only way I can get a new tab to open is if I hit F1 for firefox and then go from there or open a link from an email.

    Please disable or uninstall the Ask toolbar extension to solve your problem. It has a known incompatibility with Firefox. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]].

  • New tab won't open

    I have one open tab and a tab to the right with at plus sign. I use to be able to click the unused tab to open it up. For some reason now it will not open. I have settings for it to open when I click link etc and it won't do that either anymore.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

  • A new tab won't open since the latest upgrade when I click the + at the top?

    new tabs open every other way fine, but nothing happens when I click the "+" in the tab row to open a new tab.

    If something works in safe mode but not otherwise, it probably means that an extension is blocking it. Start disabling extensions until you find out which one is the problem.

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • New Tab doesn't open when I click on the + sign or even try to open over the Menu command

    Currently I can't open a New Tab even when I click on the + sign or try to open over the Menu command. The only way that it opens is when I browse over the link and click with the right mouse button. What do I need to do specifically to open a blank New Tab either by clicking the +sign next to an already open Tab and/over the Menu command.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
    *Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.
