New tab and close tab buttons are not enabled
Firefox new tab page and close tab buttons are not neabled and do a right-click shows the same functions that is not available.
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).
- You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + 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.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
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.

I used the same setup file, but on 1 pc, the "Open new tab" button is available in the menu 'Customize toolbar' and can be dragged and drop on the navigation bar. On the other pc, the "Open new tab" button/icon is not yet available for drag / drop. I uninstalled firefox completely, including the settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that has not fixed the missing button.
Hello
Please try to restore the default value in the Customize... window. If it is still not visible, one of the reasons could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar, but can be hidden behind a different icon or toolbar.

The individual buttons reappear as the mouse moves over them. (file, edit, view, etc.)
If hardware acceleration is the cause of the problems then this means that Firefox is unable to use the GPU to your chart view card in order to unload the main processor and perform actions more quickly.
You may not notice any difference is most cases.
The only solution is to check if there is an update of the driver for your graphics card. -
Distorted icons and buttons especially the new tab button
Certain keys, such as the new tab button are distorted. It was the series of changes after what I noticed this (initially I was using firefox 41 on system from 21 to 64-bit fedora with XFCE desktop environment):
-Upgrade fedora at 22
-Installed LXDE desktop (with XFCE)
-Theme installed atolm (http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Atolm?content=136789). Just extract the contents of the archive in ~/.themes
-past to this theme
-used the rodent icon theme (XFCE)
Up to this point, that I had not opened firefox and so I do not know when this problem occurred. I decided to remove LXDE and switch back to XFCE. I thought that this distortion of the icons happened probably because of an incompatible Openbox desktop configuration. This problem persists in the XFCE desktop environment too. I tried changing themes to see if a bug with the theme is causing these things, but remained it. I reinstalled firefox but the problem still persists. There is no option in the Customize menu to solve this problem. In addition, firefox menus do not use the gtk theme.
I have updated my firefox in another system and installed fedora-21 the same theme gtk and this one is very good. The menus are in accordance with the gtk-theme and the icons are not distorted.
@cor-el
I tried with the theme by default too. Did not work. I changed the icon theme and rebooted. The distorted icons disappeared!
This seems to be a problem with the rodent icon theme.

The mouse pointer passed, touchpad and l + r buttons does not.
Hi, I had my laptop HP Pavilion for nearly two weeks and only today, I blocked my phone and I noticed that my L + R and the touchpad buttons are not working and my mouse pointer had completely disappeared.
Can someone help me by telling me how to fix this? I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
Hello, @cf159
Welcome to the HP Forums.
It seems that, after the blocking of your laptop, you have lost the function of the touchpad. I will try to help you with this.
Have you tried to restart the laptop yet? Try this first.
If this does not work, turn off the computer, unplug the power adapter (if connected) and remove the battery. Press and hold the power for 30 seconds. Connect the dough or power adapter, turn on the laptop and the test.
If the problem is still present, you can try to do a restore on the laptop.
If it still does not, then try to update the drivers. You can do so here: drivers & downloads.
I'll let you start with that. If you need other assistance please provide the model number and product for your laptop and the currently installed operating system.
Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

I got the new tab next to open tabs button, but with a recent update of Firefox, the tab button disappeared. Went through all the help points, but how do I add the new Help tab is not listed. The only way to open a new tab is manually using the buttons on windows/t or opening the file and choosing the new tab.
Hello
It could be that he is hidden behind another icon. Please try this: right click on the empty space after the last tab and Customize.... With the mini window open, you can move the other toolbars and icons to check if the new tab button is hidden. You can also check inside the mini window customize the icon named new tab or click Restore Default Set that will be hopefully restore back. Please note that if nothing is uninstalled or disabled when you click on restore by default, you will have to redo all changes to manual/personal toolbar.

My 'new tab' button, the ctrl + T and go to file, new tab does not work
When I click to open a new tab, it does not open. If I do ctrl + T, it will not open a new tab. If I go to folder and select the new tab, it will not open a new tab. The only way it will open a new tab is if I click with the right button on a link somewhere on the page and click New tab. It's weird.
And while I'm at it, I went to download firefox 4.o it came with an error page so I can't download firefox again...
This problem may be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Modules > Extensions)
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

I know there are other ways to open a new tab, but really I preffer it.
I tried everything, but I'm stuck. Help appreciated.
Thank you.
You can find the button new tab showing as a '+' on the tab bar.
You can open the Customize and drag the new tab, button of the toolbar tabs on another toolbar and it will become a regular tools like the new button bar button tab you have in versions of Firefox 3.
If you would like the button tab at the right end of the tab bar then put a hose to the left of it.- Button of toolbar new tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-toolbar-button/

The new tab button disappeared from my navigation menu. None of the changes or upgrades have been made. While all subjects of support suggest going to customize the toolbar, the new tab button is gone either. There in the morning, disappeared in the evening without apparent reason. The + is at the end of the series of tabs, but not in the navigation toolbar and tab add + is NOT anywhere on a page it there is that a single label. I HIDE TAB BAR WITH ONE TAB 1.1 but have had for weeks, and the new tab button was always there. How to restore the button tab on the Navigation bar if it is not available in the choice to customize the toolbar?
Don't you see the new tab button on the tab bar if you open the window customize?
If you do not see an item on a toolbar in the toolbar palette and then click the button "Restore default" to restore the default toolbar configuration
You can check the problems caused by a corrupt localstore.rdf file and try to delete this file.

'open a new tab' button on the toolbar will not insert a new tab after current
I want to open a new tab button at the right end of the tab bar to open a new tab, after the currently open tab Similarly the browser does when the browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent profile option is set to true.
The current behavior is VERY annoying that I still have many tabs open and then scroll all the way to the right of the tab bar and drag the new tab to where I want, which is always on the active tab.
Not sure if this has been already supported but if not, I used to run Tabberwoky which is no longer works and I became very fond of the function and I do 8 Firefox to do this.
Please tell me how, that I cannot or should do otherwise.
Thank you.

I click on the new tab button and it does nothing. Even the + next to the current tab produces no result. I have just no way to open a new empty tab.
The Ask toolbar is initially in the version of Firefox 3.6.13. Obviously something in this extension is not compatible with a Firefox security patch. Disable this extension or uninstall it.

I can't open new tabs. The new tab button, new tab in the file menu option and the new tab option when I right click on the tab all do not work. It started when I updated Firefox yesterday. It becomes annoying when you try to work with several tabs open. How can I fix?
Try to uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.
