• Re: v.3.6.10; I couldn't open a new tab or using the icon in the Navigation bar, or the 'new tab' at the end of the Strip to tabs. How can I fix this?

  Do a right click on a topic and opening it in a new bar are NOT a problem; a new tab with the new field opens suddenly.

  The problem is when I intend to copy and paste a URL into a new tab: I can not open a new tab for this - I need content myself using the current tab, to paste the URL, OR open a new window to paste the URL.

  This was not the case in my decade (?) to use Firefox. This is the first time this has happened.

  HELP please.
  Thank you very much.

  This problem may be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Modules > Extensions)

  The details of your system display this toolbar to the user as AskTbFF/3.12.2.16749 agent

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

• Cannot open a new tab using one of the methods suggested - just stopped working

  -By selecting new tab 'file' or other methods does not work while clicking on a link from an article opens a new tab.
  -using the 3.5.24 on a laptop
  -This just happened
  -also, when I open firefox - it opens to a screen of ask and I don't know why

  The Ask toolbar is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +. Uninstall this extension.

  There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • Check the control panel Windows 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

• 'open a new tab' button on the toolbar will not insert a new tab after current

  I want to open a new tab button at the right end of the tab bar to open a new tab, after the currently open tab Similarly the browser does when the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent profile option is set to true.

  The current behavior is VERY annoying that I still have many tabs open and then scroll all the way to the right of the tab bar and drag the new tab to where I want, which is always on the active tab.

  Not sure if this has been already supported but if not, I used to run Tabberwoky which is no longer works and I became very fond of the function and I do 8 Firefox to do this.

  Please tell me how, that I cannot or should do otherwise.

  Thank you.

  This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• 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.

• Cannot open a new tab (additional) today! What's up with that?

  In this latest version, the "+" at the end of the line is no longer opens a new tab. Nothing happens except the screen that says it will open a new tab. I'm on version Beta 30 and who says that I am up to date. I thought I saw a 'flash' that 31 of the beta was available. Saw it once so I don't know. It is a NEW issue for me, and I've been on Beta 30 for awhile.

• Open any new tab/link to the right of a selected tab?

  Hi all
  I am quite "new" to FF, because I'm trying to makes my main browser since that I was using until now became increasingly outdated and frustrating.

  I have installed a number of Add-ons already set it up for my taste, but I do not seem to crack this one.

  Everything is in the title of my question really: I would like to be able to open a new tab to the good of any tab selected.

  Is it possible to do?

  Thank you!

  See use the tabs to organize many websites in one window recently opened tabs can open to the immediate right of the current one. For example, right-click on this page a link and open in a new tab, by default that opens to the immediate right, rather than at the far right.

  I remember this introductory course (see new tabs appear not to the right of the last tab ) and try to remember if this new blank tabs open time also to the immediate right. What do you want a new blank tab?

  There are many extensions that affect the behavior of the tab, maybe one of them allows to look through https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/tabs/

• I want to open a new tab, but keep the cursor in the adressbar. Right not every time I open a new tab, I come to a page with google search and the firefox logo.

  Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page

  http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42

  Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.

  Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.

  A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.

  Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?

  Hello

  If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.

  In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config

  and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

  1. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.

  If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:

  • (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
  • Menu

    

    > Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general

  Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»

  Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.

  Does this solve the problem? Let us know.
