I can not open additional tabs
I open Firefox and everything I am allowed to access this page. If I click on the tab to open that, nothing happens. I went to the page options to look at the configuration of the tab and everything seems fine. With what is happening, I am only able to look at a single page. I can't even open another internet page.
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

Installed Flash Player 14, now I can not open a new tab
This morning (June 11, 2014), I downloaded and installed Adobe Flash Player 14 (due to a upgrade prompt) and now I can not open new tabs. Email links will open new tabs - will be so some internet links will open new tabs - but by pressing on the '+' does nothing. I tried to reinstall Flash Player. I tried to download and install a new Firefox.
Mac OS X - 10.6.8
In some cases, leave Safe Mode and starting Firefox regularly works automatically (like blow off the dust).
But more often one of your extensions must be updated or disabled in order to recover the missing functionality. Understand what extension sometimes take a bit of work.
Try first, extension update. You can do this on the page modules. Either:
- Command + shift + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the right side, find the "gear" button and use the check for updates.
You can also use this page to disable extensions that could be the culprit, or click in their dialog boxes Options (if available) to see if there is a setting for this.

How can I change the web page by default when I open additional tabs?
My home page is set to the default normal page but when I open additional tabs a Yahoo page opens and I don't use it and don't want to do anything with it. I used to get the search page Google/MOY. This only happens when I open additional tabs.
So, how to set the page that opens when I open additional tabs?
Thank you!
biggrey(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:
- (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
- Blank tab = > subject: empty
- Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
- Any other page = > full URL of the page
Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?
Some traps:
If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.
Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a critical look at the list to the right. (It is possible, that you have a bunch of shit with something free that you recently downloaded).
If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is leads to: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.
A little luck?

the button in the tab tool bar will not work. I can't open many tabs. It was suggested to get rid of the toolbar. I don't have that. How can I fix it
?Hello
You can try to check if this in Safe Mode. Safe mode disables the installed Extensionsand themes (appearance) in (Alt + T) Tools > Add-ons. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - manual setting is Tools > Options > Advanced > general > use hardware acceleration when available. All these settings/options/additional custom modules can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed to normal mode of Firefox to check if an extension, theme, option or a hardware acceleration is causing issues. Deactivation/activation of hardware acceleration and some types of modules in normal mode may require a restart of Firefox.
Troubleshooting Extensions and themes
An even easier way would be to Reset Firefox by help (Alt + H) > troubleshooting information and start again if all goes well and avoid the problematic add-ons.

If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.
Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)
Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?
Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.
(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.
(3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.
The possible values for this preference are as follows:
-1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
2 = open external links in a new window
1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current pageThere are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.
Any difference?

I can not open the last closed tab, does not begin with the tabs
Recently, I noticed that I can not open the last closed tab (the choice is there, but is grayed out).
Then, during the restart, I notice that the system does not restore the tabs visited - even if this choice is made in the Options.I recently installed KeePass and its extension in Firefox and it seems to work (I don't actually use it often). And, recently, I had a problem where the system would resize my pages (as if I hold down the CTRL key while scrolling to me.
Several reboots corrected this problem - but now I can't resize by pressing the Ctrl and scrolling (while holding the Ctrl key and tapping the - key will be resize the window).
Any ideas on how to solve this problem without a complete reinstall? I have been copying my Firefox profile from one computer to another over the years and I am worried about losing my data / preferences.
Thanks in advance!

Uninstalled KeeFox and the problem disappeared.

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.
