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.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

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.,.

in fact, to open a new tab after some mozilla firefox updates itself, so that disable see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections#w_whats-new-page

Often when opening new tabs of pages newtab miniatures (topic: newtab) newtab - full page refreshes or otherwise falters. This sometimes causes some tabs are not open when ctrl-click on several thumbnails in a row. Page newtab recalculates after each click what thumbnails it should show, and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in miniature order.)
Hi FFanatic,
Please upgrade to the 32 version to see if it still happens. Go to Firefox and click on the update button. -

I was able to do this no later than 4 hours ago, now I can't open new tabs. Don't know what happened, I disabled modules as the proposed post and nothing.
Hello aprillthompson,
I also suggest you update to the latest version of Firefox, but the reset Firefox functionality can resolve many issues in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.- Sites Web open is not recorded in less than 25 versions of Firefox.
To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:
- Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
- Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
- Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .
This solve your problems? Please report to us!
See you soon,.
