Cannot open a new tab in version 29

Today, firefox closes and then apparently 'fixed' itself by updating without asking me because it looks completely different now that before it crashed. My biggest problem is that now that it's on version 29 I can't open a new tab. There is nothing in the menu to do, I can't use ctrl + T to open an and by clicking on the little + tab beside existing tabs does nothing. I can switch between the existing tabs and close the existing tabs, but that's all! The only way I have to get any type of additional tab is to open a bookmark or click on a link, but I can not start a new one from scratch. Someone has an idea of what could be the problem?

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables some settings and disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

(If you are using an additional theme, place you in default theme.)

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Mode without failure of Firefox in the Help menu by clicking on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item:

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

    In addition, pop up blocker works for a while and then stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to make it work again. Help!

    I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was last updated to Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but it did not help and I had the same problem.

    Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called tile tabs 4.10 I thought could easily create this problem. I went in my Add-ons Manager and disabled, restarted Firefox and tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the extension of the tile tabs is my favorite Firefox Add-on and I use it almost every day to manage my web tasks. I went to the page Add on for tile tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 did not work properly on Mac OS and install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw that they had a new is not-yet-seen version 4.11 who has tackled the problem of Mac OS, installed, and everything seems to work properly.

    I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem as I don't had not updated Firefox or the extension of the tile tabs recently. Also, obviously this could not solve your problem, especially if you have the module installed and active. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it seems based on your post time, so its probably not a coincidence.

    But its worth a quick glance and you can check other extensions if you don't have the legs of tile that might be the cause of the problem.

  • New tabs in version 06/03/16 will be no open no bar or menu or control t

  • Cannot do Yahoo to stop opening with new tab - even when I click on "Home" in a new tab.

    When I open a fresh tab, arrives with the Yahoo Search page. I went into options repeatedly to remove Yahoo, define search Google as my homepage and set Google as your default search page. Just keep coming back to Yahoo.

    Actually, there is a parameter to the new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: command + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown. If you find something like Searchme, leads or tap, I will recommend additional cleaning measures.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  • cannot display the thumbnails tab or to get rid of the page "you have opened a new tab".

    I get this(see pic) when I open a new tab, I solved this problem before, but I forgot how I did the last time.
    I tried clicking on the "don't show me this page again.
    What is a crunch the words more near getter.
    tried the zoom out without result
    then I tried to go into everything: config and permutation of the browser.newtab.url in about: newtab just to see that it was still defined as about: newtab.
    How can I get rid of that? Unable to see thumbnails is kind of annoying.

    I never have this page soon. Looks like a malicious extension for me.
