I can't make new tabs. When I click on the sign +, nothing happens.
I've had this problem for a few weeks now. I was hoping maybe after updating to Windows 7 I find the use of tabs, but it didn't. When I try to open a new tab in Firefox, nothing happens. Even if I right click and click 'New tab', nothing happens. I tried to restart my computer, Windows Update, update Firefox, restart Firefox, re-installing of Firefox and nothing has worked. I have a suspicion that something is simply not compatible with Windows 7. Firefox still works fine on my other computers - a Vista, the other XP.
Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause this problem.

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

When I open a new tab (Virgin, leave a link), it opens on the far right of the tab bar. This does not work for me because when I open a new tab, I use it immediately, so I would be to appear adjacent to the tab I'm currently using. I've scoured the forums and support without finding a way to change the position of new tabs.
NOTE: When I say 'new tab', I'm average NEW tabs - the kind that contains the new tab page, created using CTRL + T, or file-> new tab not tabs opened from links. I am stressing this point because I found a lot of questions and answers on how to make links open in a new tab open on the far right, or next to the active tab by changing the value in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent in all: config.
The Tab Mix Plus extension seems to have this feature, pictured in the screen shot here: http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Events_-_New_Tabs

Yesterday, I've updated to the latest version of Firefox. My computer is updated and I work with OSX 10.9.3. Since the update and restart, I can make more tabs in firefox. I tried ctrl + T, by clicking on the sign more and manually add a tab in the menu. The only way I can open multiple websites is by opening new individual windows.
I went through my extensions and modules, and I do not have the "Ask Toolbar" that has been associated with some problems tab a few years ago. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox without result.
I really don't want to give up firefox, but I really need to be able to use tabs.
Any help would be appreciated!Hello
