Cannot open new tabs to the menu, with double click or Ctrl + T

Has been using firefox without problems until this morning. Now impossible to get a new tab to open by double clicking on the tab or by selecting 'new tab' file, or by using CTRL + t. run OS x 10.6.8.

Click on the sign + to open new tab

Command (CMD) + T = Mac

CTRL + T - Windows / Linux

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to fix the problem and 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).

  • How can I open new tabs at the end on firefox 7?

    Hello

    Just went to 7. However he told me that the plugin "new tabs to end ' will not work with it. Upgrade to the most recent plugin, always tells me it won't work.

    Anyway everyone knows I can get 7 to open new tabs at the end instead of adjacent to the reference tab? I would like to to level but not at the expense of losing the basic functionality.

    Thank you very much

    Here is a workaround without need of any add-on:

    -> Open Firefox and type Subject: config in the address bar

    • When you see a warning, click I'll be careful, I promise you

    -> On the filter bar at the top of the topic: config page, type in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent

    • preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent , click Toggle -> it is now set to False

    -> Close Firefox and restart Firefox

    Check and tell if its working.

  • Firefox opens new tabs in the form of tabs first, then move on to the new windows

    I'm running FF 14.0.1 and the problem has persisted through a number of versions.

    Initially FF will open new tabs... CTRL + t work, do a right click to open in a tab etc all work fine. Sometimes the tabs are now question and I can get maybe 20 or open several tabs. And then other times we seem to be an arbitrary limit, say 5 tabs, and then each new tab opens a new window. No external link opens in a new window, a Ctrl + t opens in a new window, all new windows are the only image, for example, you can have a number of windows each tell 5 tabs, just the original (for example) window 5 and then a series of windows with only unique pages in each, and which Ctrl + t doesn't open a new window.

    A full restart sometimes heals things and I can go back to have different pages in different tabs and then something... without obvious motive... launch us in the "new window only" mode after what even if I reduce the number of tabs in the original window many tabs, Ctrl + t opens only new windows.

    He's really starting to happen to me... I have searched the technical support information and wonder about a full reset or even uninstall and reinstall. places.SQLite is verified as valid and I also, have it reindexed all to no effect.

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • How to set preferences so that open new tabs to the same page that activates when the command-T has been affected?

    By opening a new tab, the default tab opens to thumbnails based on recent history. The Safari, I want the new tab to open * to the same page, as was active when command-T was hit *. What are the specific actions, to set the default value (preference), new pages to open 'same page '? ('Same page' is check in Safari preferences box).

    Note, I've sailed available Support of Mozilla and using about: config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears empty (stop followed recent history for this purpose).

    Note, most importantly, I found this article of Support Forum, which, although written challenge, gave me a temporary solution:

      * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
    

    (The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to command-click the icon 'Reload current page' in the url/address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window).

    However, I would like to define this as a preference permanent and would ask someone give me a solution. Cheers, teacher

    You can't, that's why I suggested the modules above. There is no option in the user interface or preferably hidden in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab browser.newtab.url can only be set to a fixed address, what address is to be opened in the current tab.

    Are the only two built-in methods to duplicate a tab:

    1. Hold down the Option key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    2. Hold down the command key and click the reload of the address bar.

  • I can't open new tabs on the position of botton?

    Hello. After the upgrade to v.7 v.5 Firefox can't open new tabs when on the bottom. In a page Web, in an area about an inch under the 'tabs' line does not work. Example: on the 'Help' of Firefox page I can't sign-in/register if I want to "contribute" and I can't use the buttons under the title "NEED HELP FOR FIREFOX?". When on the Yahoo home page none of the buttons above the "Yahoo Search bar" and the "search bar" itself works.

    I tried to find someone on the Live chat since 09:00 with nothing doesn't.

    The extension of the Yahoo! toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. Disable or uninstall the modules.

  • When you open a file fdf Firefox goes into an infinite loop of opening new tabs. The only solution is to reboot the machine.

    When you open an fdf file, firefox goes into an infinite loop of creating a new tab, reading a local file (I think that a copy of the fdf file), opening a new tab, read the same file, etc.. The only solution is to reset the machine.

    For now, I guess that the solution is to open the FDF externally (i.e. in Reader or Acrobat and not the plugin).

  • Homepage is fine(full Menubar) when I opened a new tab that the menu bar disappears as well as the ability to scroll disappears. all I have is the above address bar

    In the past I've always had my open pages in a new window and not in a new tab, but it is useless if I can't see the entire page because I only have the address bar, and I can minimize and expand or close the page. There is no scrolling up and down. Now, I have to go to my office and open a new window and paste the address in order to get a working page. I even went up to uninstall and delete the Mozilla in programs, redownload and install, but I have the same problem.

    You run Firefox in private browsing mode (permanent) (don't remember history)?

    You may experience 1166066 bug that occurs when you run Firefox in private browsing mode and you open links in a new window.

    Possible solutions:

    (1) use Options/Preferences > General: "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    (2) Shift+click links to open in a new window with the standard features or use the right-click context menu.
    

    You can change dom.disable_window_open_feature prefs and change their value to true to prevent a Web site to disable toolbars and scroll bars in a pop-up window

  • 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,
    Steve V.

    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.,.

  • How to open a new tab from the window with a single white (or other)?

    I'm embarrassed to ask what should be a simple question. I want to open a new window without containing all of the tabs in my homepage - a single tab, empty, or Mozilla or Google or something. I'm tired of having to close manually the 30 - something tabs in my homepage.

    Several solutions for this.
    (I am not sure you are trying to do or to prevent).

    • change what's in your homepage

      • set to open only a couple of tabs and one of those who make a blank page
        tabs are separated by the vertical bar that is vertical (possibly split) symbol |
    • Open your previous tabs instead of the whole home page
    • change the options to open new sites in a new window instead of a new tab

  • The + symbol (to quickly open new tabs) to the right of the tab disappeared. How can I get that back?

    In the latest update of Firefox, the + symbol suddenly disappeared from the labels section. In the past, it has been used to open a new tab instead of having to go in the file menu. I would like to have the + symbol on the right side of the tabs and can not find a way to do this in the options or customize sections.

    Open the Customize and set the toolbar to display items.

    • Firefox '3-bar' menu button > customize
    • If the missing elements are in the palette to customize then drag them back into the window to customize the toolbar
    • If you don't see an item on a toolbar in the Customize palette, then click the Reset default button to restore the default toolbar configuration

  • 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?

    We have seen reports on an extension of community toolbar causing this problem of not being able to open a new tab.

    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.
