When I click on the "Open a new tab" button, nothing happens. I checked my settings but all right, what's the problem?

A few days ago all of a sudden wasn't the button "Open a new tab" and go to "file" then "open a new tab", it opens a new tab. I have to go into my favorites and right click 'open in new tab' for any new tab to open it. I checked my settings and nothing is there, on this subject. Can I do about it?

Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • Please can you put the "Open a new tab" button back where he was on the right side of the tabs, or at least give the opportunity to put it there? Thank you.

    In the row of tabs along the top of the screen, there was an additional tab with a + in what you clicked to open a new tab at the far right of the tabs. As the tabs still float to the left and new tabs appear on the right, it was (in my opinion), the most logical place for it. However, the only two places I am able to put this "tab" are now on the far left, which is illogical, because the new tab appears on the right, or in the toolbar and other tools. It's enough, but I'd rather see the 'new tab' tab back where she was.

    Moreover, the option to put it on the right end of the Ribbon tab did not work up to this latest version of Firefox, but I'm sure you know this!

    Open the view to customize and use the default for "Open a new tab" button back where it belongs.

  • '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 can't get the new tab button to open a blank tab. Nothing happens when I click it.

    I think that this problem started a few days ago, when Firefox automatically updated, but I'm not sure. All I know is that when I try to open a new tab by clicking the new tab, nothing happens. I have to do this a lot, so it's really frustrating.

    Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause this problem. It may have been installed as an add-on 'ride-along' with 'free' software that you have installed and you do not uncheck the option to install it.

    If this answer solved your problem, please click 'Solved It' next to this response when connected to the forum.

    Not related to your question, but...

    You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update if necessary:

  • Cannot do Yahoo to stop opening with new tab - even when I click on "Home" in a new tab.

    When I open a fresh tab, arrives with the Yahoo Search page. I went into options repeatedly to remove Yahoo, define search Google as my homepage and set Google as your default search page. Just keep coming back to Yahoo.

    Actually, there is a parameter to the new tab page:

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: command + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown. If you find something like Searchme, leads or tap, I will recommend additional cleaning measures.

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  • When I load firefox it opens a new tab then my home page. How can I stop the new tab

    You can check the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to make sure that nothing is added after the path to the Firefox program.

    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

  • How can I return search box in a new tab? When I open a new tab, it is only to show the address bar.

    When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.

    I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.

    I have attached a picture of your understanding.

    I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.

    user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.

    Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.

    In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.

    Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs

    • Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
    • Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
    • topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc

    You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).

    It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.

    First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
    For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start Firefox

    The second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you start Firefox.
