cannot open tabs

I can't open new tabs when using firefox.
I tried clicking on the new button to the tab, right click and selecting new tab and have tried the new file tab and none of them will produce a new tab.
However, if I click on a website link in current tab, it will open a new tab. It just seems when I want to manually open a tab.

Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

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

    Hi jscher2000,.

    You have probably installed Bullguard security software. An update just before Christmas began to cause the symptoms you see. They should disappear if you disable the BG anti-spam filter; the official remedy is upgraded to Bullguard v.12:

  • 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 on firefox 24. + sign does not nor do 'file '->' new tab '.

    OS: win 7
    Update Firefox 23 to 24. Since then, I can't create new tabs though when I navigate to 'close the tabs right' it displays correctly the number of tabs, I tried to create and close. He however open tabs from links.

    The sounds that you are on version beta update channel (help > subject).

    This also happens with the current version?

    You can find the full version of the latest version of Firefox 23.0 in all languages and for all systems operating here:

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

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

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

    See "create a profile":

    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 .pdfs in Firefox

    My wife machine is running Windows 8.1, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. Cannot open .pdfs in the browser. Clicking on a link to a .pdf file will open a new tab which will close immediately, leaving me right back where I was, as if I had never clicked the link. I can right click and then save money, download the file and open it in Adobe Acrobat X. But this is not what I want, and not the way it was designed.

    Internet Explorer 11 open .pdfs in the environment described above, in the browser, with no problems.

    I followed all instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972278 and http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html. Instructions for Mozilla or Adobe can get operational.

    As a nuclear option, I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat, rebooted the machine, uninstalled Firefox, restarted the machine, re-installed Adobe Acrobat, rebooted the machine and re-installed Firefox and rebooted the machine. Attempt for opening yields .pdf to the same result, even after uninstalling and reinstalling everything. What happens here? Why Firefox opens a blank tab and then close it immediately? Block jump - rises is set to off, and blocking the windows blocker disabled.

    My own computer that is running Windows 7, Firefox 34.0.5 and Adobe Acrobat X Standard opens .pdfs in browser very well, without any problems.

    Any advice? I'm pulling my hair out! Thanks for your time.

  • left-click on the icon of firefox in the taskbar displays a list of all open tabs. Windows 7 - Solution

    I used to have an application icon on the taskbar of Windows 7 and it will give the list the number of open windows if I have left until it clicks. But the icon of Firefox seems to have lots of windows open, except that each entry is a different tab in the single window, I opened...

    'Zero' has a question archived in the same sense in which he got a response, and I tried to find the "was this answer useful?" to add a yes vote for her, but cannot vote on things in archive...

    So I write a similar question with the answer that I have found useful.

    SOLUTION
    In tools > Options, open the "Tabs" tab: uncheck the box prΘvisualisation, "Show tab in the Windows task bar."

    In my case, immediately displays taskbar icon an entry by the window open, bearing the title of the currently opened tab. Zero had to restart Firefox to see its new configuration to take effect.

    Now, if I opened another window in Firefox, the Firefox icon displays a list of open windows. He cut down the mess!

    Zero was running Windows 7 and Firefox 22, I'm 34 of Firefox.

    Edited to remove [b] for "BOLD".

    SOLUTION

    In tools > Options, open the "Tabs" tab: uncheck the box prΘvisualisation, "Show tab in the Windows task bar."
