I've upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 and firefox no longer works

OK, so I've updated my Ubuntu from 11.10 to 12.10. Now that firefox is not running. All it does is stuff in the first tab. If you open another tab and attempt to leave the tab page, or if you open a link in a new tab it simply refuses to leave the tab page. What happens here? I mean, it worked perfectly in 11.10, what past?

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

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

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

See "create a profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

You can also try resetting Firefox:
