Yahoo not opening in new tab as I have chosen in tools/options

I have set the tools/options so any new application will open in a new tab. However, Yahoo is the only one that wants to override my settings. Their definition of "help" pages is even worse now that I remember. Windows XP, Mozilla/Firefox 3.6.12

When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

Firefox does not open a new tab when you click the plus sign button which is actually a shortcut for opening a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to get a new tab. Please help. Thanks.

I didn't have this problem before with Firefox. My kids must have pressed something or clicked on something that's the open new tab button does not function anymore. No matter how you click it, it doesn't open a new tab. Even if you click on file, then go to new tab, it still doesn't open a new tab. You have to open a new firefox window in order to do multiple browsing.
Hope you can help resolve this problem.
Sincerely,
Ems Guillarte

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. Checking your list of add-ons, the MyPlayCity toolbar is a version of the Ask toolbar.
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

Even if homepage is selected it does not open in new tab

even if homepage is selected it does not open in new tab.when i opened Firefox the previous website which i opened is coming .please give me answer.

I guess it is too much to ask your users to middle-click the Homepage button to get their Homepage in a new tab.
I don't think Mozilla is even interested in "Enterprise" any longer. The new Fast Release schedule for Firefox doesn't meet the needs of the corporate community for long term support, so I guess they aren't valued any longer. Mike Kaply has written about this situation repeatedly this year.

I cab not open a new tab, Conrol t, new tab, right click, etc. nothing works.

Since the last upgrade, I can not open a new tab. Only a new window. None of the tab options work.

Firefox will not open any new tabs since windows update

I have windows 7 64, and recently, when windows automatically updated, my firefox will not open any new tabs, manually or when opening a link...

Why does the tab button in Safari close safari and not open a new tab?

Why does the tab button in Safari close Safari and not open a new tab?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. 
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When clicking bookmark, does not open a new tab

Just upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1. When I click on one of my bookmarks, it doesn't open a new tab but opens up in what ever tab I was in.

Default behavior is for Firefox to open a bookmark or link in the currently selected tab. There are some tab Add-ons that have an option to automatically open in a new tab.
To open a bookmark or link in a new tab you can do one of the following:
*middle-click the bookmark or link (middle-click = press the mouse scroll wheel)
*right-click the bookmark or link and choose "Open in a New Tab"
*Ctrl+left-click the bookmark or link

When right-clicking firefox in the task bar... v5 does NOT open a new tab, or open a new window when selected. Only crtl-N opens a new window iff Firefox is the active window.

Today FF 5.0 was DL-d and installed (automatic update is/was active). Help->About-> shows version 5.0, and there were no problems with the install.
I have ASUS G72 running W7 with the latest MS updates via auto-update.
FF is pinned to the task bar.
Previous version(s) allowed for opening new windows and tabs by right click of FF icon on task bar, and selecting "Mozilla FireFox" (which opened new window) , or selecting "Open New Window." Opening a new tab in the current session could be done by selecting "Open New Tab."
These features do not operate in the latest version (5.0), or have I fumbled the ball (by not having something set right in this version.
Thanks in advance for you help. Keep up the great work.

If you have tabs on top and no menu then the tabs are in a "Windows" area so there is no space to right. If you put tabs back to the bottom you will have most of your old behavior but because of the changes to tabs on top most of the tab context menu stuff all of the context menu part was lost except the customize toolbar stuff, double-clicking on an empty spot was restored, and eventually during the FF 4 beta most of the tab extensions Firefox messed up eventually worked again except in the area to the right of the tabs.
The Windows part of that double-click has to maximize or restore to normal,
and you have to be able to drag the window by it;'s title bar.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 and '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Hi Marx,
With this kind of data testing it is helpful to provide context to the issue you are trying to document. This technical information is very useful to the engineers working on the performance of Firefox and I am sure this is the kind of information they would love to see.
Therefore I would like to put you in touch with this team to see what they can do with this information. Talk to the #perf channel in irc and they should be able to put you in the right direction. I am asking currently and see what I can find. Or in the meantime check out the current tab bugs in the Performance component of bugzilla provided in the search below: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=tab%20performance&list_id=9361049]

Firefox 4: Bookmarks will not Open in New Tab"

Firefox 4.0
Bookmarks menu, the option to Open in New Tab is not working. I can open bookmarks in existing tabs but nothing happens when choosing new tab.

OK, I think I have found the issue. If you have imported your bookmark groups or have previously set them up as group that opened just from clicking on the group - it will not work.
I have created the group again and all works fine, I have another issue now - I can not deleted the old group from my list!
Hope this helps.

Safari 7.0 does not open a new tab or a link in a new tab

Hello,
since I updated to Mavericks, I'm not able to open a new tab (cmd + t) or open a link in a new tab (cmd + click) in safari. A soon as I try to open a new tab, safari "freezes" an I have to use the "back" button a few times to make it work again.
Is there a solution in the settings, or di I have to to delete and reinstall the app?
Thanks for your help!

Hey Linc Davis,
I just did that yesterday (in my case it was 'glims') and after deleting glims, Safari now is working perfect again.
Thanks a lot for your help!

On some sites ctrl-t ctrl-n do not open a new tab/window. example: youtube

On some websites (not just a c0uple but many) when I press ctrl-t to open a new tab nothing happens. Same with ctrl-n. Using the File menu works fine but not the hot keys. On most pages they work fine: on your "troubleshooting information" page it works fine. I can't figure out any pattern. The option is set for open new window in new tab and it works fine. It seems to be the hot key. I just upgraded to Firefox 6 beta but it's been the same with the last several versions I've used.

'''Bug 78414''' – Application shortcut keys (keyboard commands such as f11, ctrl+t, ctrl+r) fail to operate when plug-in (flash, acrobat, quicktime) has focus
:https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78414

The "open a new tab" button does not open a new tab.

The "open a new tab" button does not work. Neither does "file; new tab", or Control T. Can you please tell me how to fix this?
Thank you.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
