  Whereas previously it was possible to open a new tab by clicking on the "plus sign" to the right of the last open tab, or by clicking on 'file' and 'new tab', none of these options work. New tabs will open a new Web page, but a 'white' will not appear.

• Why can I not use the tab key to highlight the links on a Web page?

  In previous versions of FF and in other browsers, I use the tab key to navigate through all the links on a Web page - I can't do this with FF5, the tab key will highlight only the address bar, search bar, and any form of fields on a Web page.

  Using the button tab to navigate through the links on a page is an accessibility feature, and I use it often to display links to jump hidden at the top of a Web page for users who prefer the keyboard on a mouse and assistive technologies.

  Is this something that can be turned on in the preferences? Or is there a reason why it has been removed from this version?

  It can be fixed in Mac OS X Tiger preferences (keyboard-> "all controls") or try a ctr - F7

• Suddenly cannot open new tab, immediately after an update of MSWindows7, or after the upgrade to Windows 10 - tired, all kinds of bugs, no luck.

  Never had this problem until what MS downloaded and installed updates (for Windows7). So I said I'm going to widows 10 because I thought anyway, so I did this - still cannot open a new tab, or by clicking on the tab '+' or 'ctrl + T.
  I spent about an hour going by most of the measures that have been provided by the support of Mozilla tech note and it did not help. I'm not going to create a new FF profile.
  I restart my PC, nothing helped. I chose "never" (I forgot the exact wording) on all the Plug Ins and then rebooted and this did not help. I have not loaded Extensions.
  I installed FF for Windows 10 just after the installation of Windows 10.
  I am a user of whether average PC.
  Thanks for any help you can give,

  Dear cor - el,

  Now, I'm happy! Thank you very much.

  New tab works now. It is because of me running the first program malware that you listed above, Malwarebytes. I am grateful that you suggested it because I would not have thought that that would be the problem (because the problem occurred immediately after a MS Windows7 update.

  Anyway, thanks again for sharing your time and skills.,.

• Cannot open new tabs

  Or the shortcut I have always used (command-tab) or even by clicking on '+' on the title bar worked, for the past few weeks. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by clicking on the links. I checked and updated, I know how to create new keyboard shortcuts... I just can't understand why normal methods don't work anymore. I have no problem with other browsers. Any ideas?

• Opening of new tab by clicking on the link

  Out of the blue, firefox suddenly began to open links from Google and Yahoo search engines in a new tab instead of going directly from the original tab. I tried to type the control and shift keys, restart firefox, then by restarting the computer (to check). nothing works. Oddly enough, it was only these two having this problem, so I wonder if they have updated their own settings to force it.

  Have you checked the settings on the Google preferences page?

  For the Google site you can set your preferences on the Google.com page through the gear icon in the upper right.

• Internet Explorer cannot display webpage then on the internet by clicking on a link on a Web page

  When you are connected to the internet, I can't click links on a Web site.  Clicking on makes me an error "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage".  For example, I'm on FamilyFun.com I try to print a page coloring for my daughter.  I choose the one she wants, but when I click on 'see full size and print it' I get the error message.  I tried disabaling the modules and software McAfee and install IE9.  None of these works.

  Several troubleshooting methods:

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have
  EVER had on this machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which)
  may cause strange problems).

  If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

  Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

  Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

  not better?

  IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if she's here, it is no longer necessary but Java
  installs and it causes more questions - have you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again.) Search
  other possible problems.

  Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look
  right. Allowed are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If doubt about a program
  ask about it here.

  Could not be a free - SpyBHOremover - BHO - standalone program, needs no installation, download.
  unzip and run - all are not bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).
