On my homepage, I have upward and I want to open a new tab. When I click to open a new tab, nothing happens. How can this be repaired?
Hello lsmalls787, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.
Thank you

It's as if the tab key is frozen. Open to all advice and suggestions.
I think that I read in other posts here that this could be a side effect of the Ask toolbar. Can you check it out here and if you have it, and turn it off if you do?

If not, the other suggested troubleshooting steps are the solution in this thread: cannot open new tabs; no Ask toolbar | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox help

I can not open a new tab (empty) I change all the settings. However as I said well can I open a new tab with a link without a link, I can't open a new (empty) 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:
- 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

If I open a new tab, I can't enter any address at any site. Well, that I can enter, just at the moment where I hit return the address of the typewritten page disappears and returns to "go to a Web site. Nothing happens. I can use the search box (google) or a bookmark to open a new tab. This tab resulting will be then to accept the entrance and go to the address as I type. The new tab will not do anything.
Try to open a new window (file > new window) to see if it works.

When I click on the 'plus' for a new tab, which automatically takes me to google.com so beautiful, but the cursor is in the address bar. It seems that the cursor is in the google search box, but it's not.
When I click on "Home" the default cursor, the search field, which I think is correct. Is there a way to have FF does not by default the address for the input text bar when you open a new tab?
I doubt it. Google controls their research and their browser and they integrate features. But you can use "Ctrl + K" to place your cursor in the search bar"in your Firefox toolbars. By pressing the key TAB a little is a waste of time since there are a lot of links before you get to the entrance area.
There could be an extension, if it bothers some, but I don't see a valid compromise to justify the use of an extension of something that seems trivial to me.

Hello! I can't understand what this does to my computer. It seems that something is automatically re-mapping my mapped network shares. How can I even begin to solve this?
The last major change to my system were:1 - installed Norton Internet Security 2011 (anti-virus, etc.)2 - decided to play with indexing in the Panel but I didn't not add Y and Z to the index. I didn't change the file types that are indexed using this tab in the window and check each type of file in there3 installed MacDrive 8 so I could connect my Mac USB keys, etc. and use them locally on my PCThanks in advance!It was Norton Ghost. Norton Ghost tried to access a directory in one of the actions, but I had changed the location of this directory. He just started mapping and re-mapping the same actions over and over again. Weird! Then I opened the ghost, clicked in the menu Tools, then Options, then changed to something else by default backup destination. It's strange, but it does. I had not used this in over a year backup destination and have resorted to a ghost. Phantom decided not to change the backup destination by default, when I deleted my old backup job 'task' and made a new who had another destination of backup. Weird.
Thanks for your good help. -

I tried looking through all the settings it gave me and I can't find when it won't let me open a new tab. All the settings that I have are the parameters by default and before that happens, I wasn't even in the frame, so it's not like I was messing around with them and then he messed up it just happened once. I have no virus or anything because I use 3 virus different scans and they say that my own computer. My virus scan programs are also up-to-date as I've updated them today.
Try disabling the extension of the Ask toolbar.

On Windows7 Home Premium Edition, I can't get a new tab to open no matter what I try. Occasionally, if I click on a link on the current page, a second tab opens, but 99% of the time I'm stuck using the first tab for everything and using the back button. I tried ctrl/T, tab file/new, right mouse click / New tab and the new button tab in the tab to the right of the current tab bar.
Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause this problem.

Button element to open a pop up window but not make a shipment
Hello
I want to open a popup using a button located next to an item. I don't want a shipment to occur.
I followed the instructions given in and the popup is displayed correctly.
However, it is also a shipment.
How do I prevent present it when this button is pressed?I copied models button, called "Javascript button" and changed its code to:
#LABEL# TO:
#LABEL# where "AAAAA" is "javascript: #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES #" (the tag didn't work so I had to describe it in this way).
I then put the script I want to run the application in the attributes of the button and the fact no matter what. It's not very elegant, but it does not work.
