Firefox does not open a new tab
Firefox has stopped to let me open a new tab. If I click on the sign more, press Ctrl-T, or go to file > new tab, nothing happens. The only way that will open a new tab is if I click on a link in an email, it opens the link in a new tab. I use tabs frequently and it is very annoying to have to go get an email with a link just so I can open a tab. It doesn't matter if I only have a single or several tabs open. I have not installed another thing that Firefox and Windows updates (I have Windows 7). I am running Firefox 24.0 but the problem started with the earlier version.
Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
The problems of Firefox using Firefox SafeMode
- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 15.0 + 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.
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.

Or it could be caused by hardware acceleration.
When find you what is causing that, please let us know. It might help others who have this problem.

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:
- 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

Firefox does not open a new, secure login page, on the site of my Bank
Site Web of my Bank opens a new, secure, log in page from a link on its home page. When I click on this link to do, nothing happens. No window opens and Firefox does not all messages as to why. He used to work, but stopped in the past two months. I don't know if it something in my settings or not. I also use the Flock browser - which is based on Mozilla code and the link works in this browser. Settings in both browsers seem to be the same.
URL of affected sites
I get the login window in Firefox.
It uses javascript to open the window. Try hitting control + F5 - that recharges all of the scripts in case one is corrupt in the cache.
You have additional modules that may be blocking scripts? Adblock Plus, no Script...
If so try to disable them.Try safe mode

Why does not open in new tab?
When I try to open a link in a new tab, nothing happens
These three fail?
- Right click > open link in a new tab
- CTRL + click on the link
- Click the link with the mouse wheel (if you have one)
If you use Firefox for a while, can associate you it in time with any software change, such as:
- Firefox update
- Windows Update
- hardware driver update
Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.
If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
and OK reboot.
Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).
Can you open links in a new tab, or the same problem?

Google TGM does not open a new tab
I only use the FF search bar in the upper right, no other toolbars are installed. Search google with the small blue 'g' opens in the same tab that is currently open. Google (TGM) used to open the search page in a new tab and not automatically switch to him - I liked it. Since the update FF19, it has lost this ability, it now opens in the same tab I'm already.
I put the Manage search engines.
I went through the troubleshooting.
I have reset Firefox.
I checked all the Add-ons.
I went through the process of management of the Group tab.Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
The solution to everything: working config. Thank you.

Firefox does not open a link after the first; Open ok in new tab front.
In the last week or two, for reasons not clear to me, Firefox does not open the new links after the first; It is used to open a new connection in new tabs (according to my preference) without problems in the past. Now it does not blink again.
Over time, I've added new applications and others removed, and, of course, I can't exclude from their role in the problem that I have now. I would appreciate some help to solve this problem.
