New tab does not allow you to type in the URL

When I select a new tab, that I can no longer enter a URL. I type it in and press enter and Firefox deletes it instead of going on the site. I can only choose from the dropdown list or an icon in the toolbar.

Also when I chose Google in my toolbar and started banging, a drop-down list appears blocking my vision of what I was typing.

I use the 40.0.3 Version and Windows 10.

This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.

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.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • new tab (+) does not work after the upgrade to v 23.0.1 forefox

    I had firfox version 22 I guess... Now, today morning I upgraded to v 23. It displays a message from one of the plug-in is not compatible with wud and therefore be disabled. now later I still once downloaded the plug in to check if its works or not but TI worked (as I had already guessed), or its display in modules or plug-ins.

    Now I don't get why the new tab does not work. Not at all. Its so very annoying. I googled the question and tried to reset firefox and the new tab in subject parameter: config. But nothing helped.

    I think that its because of this plug-in I've read somewhere that the parameters can be getting replaced by one of the defective Add-ons.

    Help, please.

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

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

  • The new tab (+) does not work, or the file/new tab feature

    The new tab (+) does not work. The function of the file/new tab does no more work. Both had worked correctly until noon today. I haven't added any software, plug-ins or extensions today, I do not have the Ask toolbar. I tried several of the suggestions made on this site, nothing helps.

    This problem may be caused by an extension that does not work in the current version of Firefox.

    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.
  • Computer does not allow me to click on the icons.

    I turn on my computer and connect to a single user and my computer does not allow me to select all the icons, but if I pass users and connect to another user at the same time, I can use my computer. My computer was working fine until I installed Office 365. I called the technical support on the office and they said that it was not the office which was the cause of the problem. Any suggestions?

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum!

    1. what happens when you try to select icons?

    2. do you get an error message?

    Here are a few troubleshooting methods that you can try in order to solve the problem.

     

    Method 1: Try to run fix it from the link below:

    b. in the command prompt, type each command line below one at a time then press ENTER after each single line.

    CD /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local

  • Win 7 Firefox 3.6.13, new tab does not open when you click on it, on the desktop or laptop computer.

    I can not open a new tab in Firefox 3.6.13, running Windows 7. It does work on my desktop or my laptop. When I click on the '+' to add a tab, or right-click on it and choose 'New tab', nothing happens.
