New tab does not work - could not open a new tab

I can not open a new tab, using OSX 10.9.4 and 31.0 Firefox. I tried the '+' and the key combination. Thank you-

Many users have discovered that this problem (in Firefox 30 and more) is caused by led modules, for example a plugin Conduit and/or an extension "Community Toolbar.

You can check and disable the extensions on page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

What helps with the button "+"? If so, you can name the specific extension that caused the problem?

You can also see the Plugins page modules. You can never use 'activate' to disable plugins that you do not usually use.

  • I can not open a new tab - when I restart my computer (or firefox), ctrl T does not work and the tab '+' next to the tab on my browser window does NOT open a second tab

    Firefox3.6.18, running on Windows XP (all patches from Microsoft), opens with a single tab. By clicking on the tab add '+' or by pressing CTRL T does not open a new tab, even if I open a new window. In addition, when you exit Firefox, my location of the tab is not saved.

  • By clicking on the link does not open new tab

    By clicking on a link in an e-mail message (MAC Mail) open FF and directly to the page, if Firefox is closed. Fine.
    However, if FF is already running, by clicking on the link only FF put in the foreground, but does not open a new tab, or the link fills in the current window tab. The only way to make it work is to right click to get the 'Quick Look' URL, and then open this page.

    This is happening to me, same, on Mac OS X 10.6.8 but only since I've upgraded to the latest version of Firefox, 32.0.1. I can click on a HTTP link in another application and Firefox becomes the active application, but it will not load a new tab for the link, as expected. Instead, it just sits there. I have to go back to the other application and click on the link a second time, during which point Firefox correctly open a new tab and load the destination URL.

    When I click on the tab with a + on it, located next to the current tab, a new page does not open. If I click on 'New tab' in the file menu, a new tab does not open.

    Thanks for posting the details of your system. I'm skeptical about the "CompTool0234 Community Toolbar". Could you disable some add-ons and see if that helps.

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

    Disable «Conduit Plugin»

    On this tab:

    Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

    Disable the CompTool0234 community toolbar.

    Then very probably a link will appear to restart Firefox to make the change. Does make a difference?

  • Firefox does not open a link after the first; Open ok in new tab front.

    In the last week or two, for reasons not clear to me, Firefox does not open the new links after the first; It is used to open a new connection in new tabs (according to my preference) without problems in the past. Now it does not blink again.

    Over time, I've added new applications and others removed, and, of course, I can't exclude from their role in the problem that I have now. I would appreciate some help to solve this problem.

    You have this problem when running in Firefox SafeMode?

    You may have installed one or more variants of the malware "VSearch' ad-injection. Please back up all data, and then take the steps below to disable it.

    Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

    Malware is constantly evolving to work around defenses against it. This procedure works now, I know. It will not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a couple of days or more after it was published should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.

    Step 1

    VSearch malware tries to hide by varying names of the files it installs. It regenerates itself also if you try to remove it when it is run. To remove it, you must first start in safe mode temporarily disable the malware.

    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for other instructions.

    Step 2

    When running in safe mode, load the web page and then triple - click on the line below to select. Copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons

    In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    A folder named "LaunchDaemons" can open. If this is the case, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected.

    There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. Please don't skip this step. Files that belong to an instance of VSearch will have the same date of change for a few minutes, then they will be grouped together when you sort the folder this way, which makes them easy to identify.

    Step 3

    In the LaunchDaemons folder, there may be one or more files with the name of this form:

    com Apple.something.plist

    When something is a random string, without the letters, different in each case.

    Note that the name consists of four words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com Apple.builins.plist

    com Apple.cereng.plist

    com Apple.nysgar.plist

    There may be one or more items with a name of the form:

    com.something.plist

    Yet once something is a random string, without meaning - not necessarily the same as that which appears in one of the other file names.

    These names consist of three words separated by dots. Typical examples are:

    com.semifasciaUpd.plist

    com.ubuiling.plist

    Sometimes there are items (usually not more than one) with the name of this form:

    com.something .net - preferences.plist

    This name consists of four words (the third hyphen) separated by periods. Typical example:

    com.jangly .net - preferences.plist

    Drag all items in the basket. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    Examples of legitimate files located in the same folder:

    com.apple.FinalCutServer.fcsvr_ldsd.plist

    com Apple.Installer.osmessagetracing.plist

    com Apple.Qmaster.qmasterd.plist

    com Apple.aelwriter.plist

    com Apple.SERVERD.plist

    com Tether.plist

    The first three are clearly not VSearch files because the names do not match the above models. The last three are not easy to distinguish by the name alone, but the modification date will be earlier than the date at which VSearch has been installed, perhaps several years. None of these files will be present in most installations of Mac OS X.

    Do not delete the folder 'LaunchDaemons' or anything else inside, unless you know you have another type of unwanted software and more VSearch. The file is a normal part of Mac OS X. The "demon" refers to a program that starts automatically. This is not inherently bad, but the mechanism is sometimes exploited by hackers for malicious software.

    If you are not sure whether a file is part of the malware, order the contents of the folder by date modified I wrote in step 2, no name. Malicious files will be grouped together. There could be more than one such group, if you attacked more than once. A file dated far in the past is not part of the malware. A folder in date dated Middle an obviously malicious cluster is almost certainly too malicious.

    If the files come back after you remove the, they are replaced by others with similar names, then either you didn't start in safe mode or you do not have all the. Return to step 1 and try again.

    Step 4

    Reset the home page in each of your browsers, if it has been modified. In Safari, first load the desired home page, then select

    ▹ Safari preferences... ▹ General

    and click on

    Set on the current Page

    If you use Firefox or Chrome web browser, remove the extensions or add-ons that you don't know that you need. When in doubt, remove all of them.

    The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you reinstall it never. A few small files will be left behind, but they have no effect, and trying to find all them is more trouble that it's worth.

    Step 5

    The malware lets the web proxy discovery in the network settings. If you know that the setting was already enabled for a reason, skip this step. Otherwise, you should undo the change.

    Open the network pane in system preferences. If there is a padlock icon in the lower left corner of the window, click it and authenticate to unlock the settings. Click the Advanced button, and then select Proxies in the sheet that drops down. Uncheck that Auto Discovery Proxy if it is checked. Click OK, and then apply.

    Step 6

    This step is optional. Open the users and groups in the system preferences and click on the lock icon to unlock the settings. In the list of users, there may be some with random names that have been added by the malware. You can remove these users. If you are not sure whether a user is legitimate, do not delete it.

  • Dreamweaver does not open on the new Mac

    Dreamweaver (adobe creative suite cs6) does not open on my new macbook pro with 10.9.4 installed operating system. After having bought the MBP, I used time machine to transfer most of my files and programs on the new computer. Adobe has not transferred since the last backup to the new computer, because I think that I unchecked as a backup application. I had some problems with a small external hard drive. All other adobe software opens fine.

    Description of the problem: Dreamweaver bounces on the dock bar after I double click top in the application folder. It bounces for a few seconds, then disappears. No error message, nothing.

    What I did to try to fix the problem:

    (1) Uninstall: I completely uninstalled and re-installed dreamweaver independently. Who could not solve the problem. I also uninstalled and reinstalled adobe creative suite. Which also failed.

    (2) after the other suggestions in the forum, I created a guest user account. The guest user account CAN open dreamweaver without any problem. After you open the program save a site Web etc. I switch back to my account main and dreamweaver will still not open. There must be some parameters which carried over from the backup that does dreamweaver crash.

    (3) support content remove application: in the original of my previous computer application backup support files contained cs5 included for software adobe (including dreamweaver). I deleted this content... He could not solve the problem.

    (4) reinstall OSX: has not fixed the problem.

    (5) delete all the content on the hard drive, reinstall OSX AND then I used a backup with only my settings computer, files or documents and excluded all the previous computer applications. It did not work too.

    Help please?

    Change my preferences has worked:
