New tabs for Firefox will not open unless by clicking on a link while browsing.

To expand on what the issue is, whenever I try to open a new tab, it does everything simply. Only new tabs open when I click on a link that also opens the page in this link in a new tab. Even when I try to do the same thing in the file menu and Ctrl + t. otherwise, Firefox works normally. Yesterday, I downloaded a program called 'FLV player' I knew came with a bar ask.com toolbar, but for some reason, from ask.com to the home page for Firefox. After that, I changed the homepage to Firefox, return to the default page.

Ask Toolbar can cause this problem. Uninstall it.

You have a few old Console Java extensions Java did not clean up when updating. Older versions that you are: 6.0.22, 6.0.23, 6.0.24

  • Firefox does not open more than one window, only opens new tabs. Firefox does not open in safe mode.

    Firefox does not open more than one window at a time, and then opens only new tabs. When asked to open the link in a new window - nothing happens, no error message or the page appears. Otherwise, it works great, but no new firefox window cannot be opened menu or the mouse. I tried to reinstall firefox several times, which did not help.

  • Since this morning, shortcut desktop Firefox will not open unless Firefox was already open...

    Aaaaahhhhh - yesterday, everything was fine. Nothing seemed to be a problem. This morning I'm on my laptop to read my emails as usual, a shortcut icon on the desktop for Yahoo, and it does not open. Then I tried several other shortcuts office linking to Firefox and none of them is open. The only shortcut that works is the Firefox that brings me to my home page. Once it is open, then my shortcuts all work. What? I must say that I have others linking to Google Chrome desktop shortcuts, and they all work very well. What is the problem with Firefox that I now already have it open to allow my shortcuts to open? It is so annoying not being able to just to open things directly from the desktop. I tried to delete all shortcuts and reapply them. It does not help. Anyone got any ideas? Thank you

    Just checked the other shortcuts and they have now all seems to be a new behavior - I guess I had a fleeting event on my hands!

  • Multiple tabs open when I clik a link to a new tab. Then, do not open or even appear when I try to close with "close all tabs"... they are like "ghost tabs.

    It spent last few days... the tabs are displayed on the tab bar, but do not open upward or close when I try to close... when I tried "close all tabs", who says so "you try to close the 2 tabs", they are not counted as being open... the only way I can get rid of them is Firefox is completely closed and then it starts again. Ghost tabs!

    I solved the problem, but not using the "safe mode".
    After going into safe mode and close and open FF again;
    I then had to dl the latest version of FFox... 33.0 (I had 32.0) online, a friend told me there was an update for it... found 33.0.1.i and dl who had, then restarted my computer.
    I found that the new version had removed many of my fave on my 'personal bar '... icons I have them back by going to this:
    'Classic theme restaurateur' found in 'modules '.
    I didn't add "colorful tabs" again...

    In addition, an easy solution... my mousepad has been 'sticky'... by removing just, my mouse works much better on my desk...

    now, everything is back to normal... no pop up several tabs, even in typing emails is better now as well.

  • Nevertheless, Firefox will not open on my computer account, but on others.

    I had installed the new firefox 28, after which everything seemed good. But when later I turned on my computer, firefox does not open despite the number of times I clicked on it. I tried 'security mode' as well. Or open anything and does not appear in the Task Manager. However, the options of firefox opens. But there is nothing useful there.
    Firefox works on other computer accounts, just not mine.
    I rebooted the computer several times and I tried to uninstall and install. Nothing.
    And nothing came on an AVG scan.
    Help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

    • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

    If you keep problems also create a new profile.

  • Hate 4, System Restore tried to get version 3 back, now firefox will not open

    After the upgrade to ver. 4, I had to start using for example to use the Court report sites and county tax sites and had other problems if I need to return ver.3

    I did a system restore and now Firefox does not open. (Edition Vista Home premium)

    No problem.

    Click on "programs and features" in your control panel. You will see your old version of 3.6 it and NOT version 4.

    Uninstall the version 3.6 DO NOT click the check box to delete your stuff.

    Go here and reinstall the version 3.6.17: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older

    It undertakes to repair your version 3 and you will be operational with your old favorites, etc.

    I got calls from a dozen people with this problem, and it's the solution.

    Enjoy your v.3.6.17

  • iBooks for iMac will not open old books

    Until recently, I have read all my books, I got in iBooks on my iMac.  But now when I try an open a book older, I bought with my OLD Apple (I discovered that now it no longer exists, because Apple doesn't like people with more of an Apple ID. ID.  I had to change because it used my old e-mail DEAD, so I changed it to my current email address).  Everything was fine until recently.  Now, for some reason stupid iBooks requires Apple ID check on purchases of old that used my OLD Apple ID, before I open it upwards.  The file is not one of them on iCloud is on my computer, but it will not open. I have about 20 books purchased with my Apple ID OLD.  When I try to connect my OLD Apple ID, I get a message to Apple that it no longer exists.  That's why I'm in a "Catch 22": I can't open any OLD books in iBooks, because he needs to check my OLD Apple ID, but now, there is no and I can't do another Apple with the same name ID, since I already have one, and I can't delete my current Apple ID because that would really open up a "Pandora's box".  Help!  IS THERE A WAY TO WORK AROUND THIS STUPID PROBLEM!

    Unfortunately, there is not.

    "Since Apple doesn't like people with more of an Apple ID."

    It may seem like that but if you download the content in this case an iBook to an Apple ID, it can be transferred to an another Apple ID.

    Use the following steps to see what Apple ID allowing you to download something.

  • Why firefox will not open new tabs for hotmail?

    Firefox always open hotmail in a new tab, but now it opens in a new window. That's happened?

    This started happening to me also good version 3.6.6 XP user. Started on 02/07/2010.

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; RV:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 Firefox/3.6.6

  • Why firefox will not open a hot link in a new tab? I selected the parameter which is supposed to do this, but Firefox insists when you open a new window every time! It's annoying as hell.

    OK... um, I'm on Mac OS10.4.11 (not sure about the last two digits, but you get the idea). I installed the latest update of Firefox maybe a week ago... my monitor crapped out yesterday, so I replaced it with a bigger I had to hang out. I have used this monitor with this machine before and had no problem with getting Firefox to open links I clicked on in a new tab. As directed by your help site, I checked "size" of the monitor and it was as always. I have even reduced the "size" of the screen, but not joy.

    What gives, oh a powerful?

    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: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • I trashed my mimetypes.rdf file to restore stocks of download, and now Firefox will not open because profile missing, please notify

    Until very recently, when I want to download a pdf file, it will open automatically, and recently, for some reason, it stopped automatically opening and just downloaded on my desktop where I wanted. I found the instructions on Mozilla if files uploaded but not display, displaying my profile and then folder to delete. I've trashed (different from delete?) and now if I try to open Firefox, I get the message that Firefox cannot open/load because the profile is missing. Please tell us how can I get the profile folder in.

    Thank you

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

    See "create a profile":

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