Why can't I open new tabs in my browser?
When I click on the + symbol next to the tab, I'm working in, Firefox should open a new tab. However, this function no longer works in my Firefox browser. What should I do to open new tabs again?
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.

Why can't I open new tabs in my toolbar like I usually do?
I have google as my homepage, I have my email and my facebook as a PIN in the toolbar, and for awhile, I open other tabs check school email and things on my page of e-learning for the school. I was able to do this no later than 4 hours ago, now I can't open new tabs. Don't know what happened, I disabled modules as the proposed post and nothing.
Hello aprillthompson,
I also suggest you update to the latest version of Firefox, but the reset Firefox functionality can resolve many issues in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions and preferences.- Sites Web open is not recorded in less than 25 versions of Firefox.
To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:
- Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
- Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
- Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
- Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.
Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .
This solve your problems? Please report to us!
See you soon,.

Why can't I open new tabs in 3.6? I had to give up Firefox 8.
Running Win 7 on a Compac. I've updated to Firefox 8, but it was so weird I downloaded 3.6.24, but now I can't open tabs. I have to open new windows.
This problem may be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Modules > Extensions)
The details of your system display this toolbar to the user as AskTbFXTV5/3.13.1.18107 agent
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

I can't open new tabs in my browser.
If I click on the small, nothing happens. If I try the shortcut, nothing happens. But open new tabs automatically if I click on a link in a Web site.
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.

How can I reset the new tab page? (Browser hijacking)
My browser has been hijacked recently by Trovi search engine, and it changed the home page and the new tab page. I was able to restore the home page, but the new tab page was more complicated. I tried to go to about: config and replacing 'browser.newtab.url' 'about.newtab' (because I want the page with websites frequent return), but it just resets the site you'll find once I clicked OK. I tried editing that it again, this time with a URL, but it resets again. This continued even after restarting Firefox. Finally, I tried the add-on "SearchReset." He wiped my regular home page, but the new site of the tab is always you'll find... Whatever I do, it will not change. It keeps resetting to Trovi.
You must remove the malware that Trovi hijacker.

Since yesterday, 06/11/2013, I can no longer open new tabs in my browser. I've been using Firefox for almost 10 years and I've never had this problem.
Hello debbiesuerd1, you can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If not, perhaps an addon intrudes here...

Can't get Firefox new tab to open in Google.ca (not Chrome).
I tried all the fixes in the latest discussions, but FF new update 41 refuses to open new tabs in Google.ca. I was about: config and through newtab, adjusted the columns and lines to 1 euro, I have tried everything: home to the URL, as well as the full URL for Google.ca. I'm not using Chrome. No Add-ons, no extensions, no profile.js file, no recent programs added without my knowledge. My new tabs come with Google.ca as a thumbnail, so I have to click on it. It's madness! Google is shooting itself in the foot. Can someone help me fix this, please? Thank you.
Thank you! problem solved!
Sorry for the stupid question. I do not work with addons much.
I appreciate your help.

I use Firefox 9.0.1 on a Windows 7 laptop. Since the upgrade to 9.0 and 9.0.1 Mozilla and Speed Dial open new tabs as if they have been updated, although there has been no update. Colorful tabs 8.0 does as well, but I disabled it.
It should not be a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder, unless you other other software or Firefox extension he created.
Can you post the contents of user.js if you have such a file?
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
You can also try to rename prefs.js to prefs.js.old to reset all preferences, in which case there is a problem with the file as shown in the articles.

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.

I can't open new tabs on the position of botton?
Hello. After the upgrade to v.7 v.5 Firefox can't open new tabs when on the bottom. In a page Web, in an area about an inch under the 'tabs' line does not work. Example: on the 'Help' of Firefox page I can't sign-in/register if I want to "contribute" and I can't use the buttons under the title "NEED HELP FOR FIREFOX?". When on the Yahoo home page none of the buttons above the "Yahoo Search bar" and the "search bar" itself works.
I tried to find someone on the Live chat since 09:00 with nothing doesn't.
The extension of the Yahoo! toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. Disable or uninstall the modules.

How can I open new tabs at the end on firefox 7?
Hello
Just went to 7. However he told me that the plugin "new tabs to end ' will not work with it. Upgrade to the most recent plugin, always tells me it won't work.
Anyway everyone knows I can get 7 to open new tabs at the end instead of adjacent to the reference tab? I would like to to level but not at the expense of losing the basic functionality.
Thank you very much
Evan
Here is a workaround without need of any add-on:
-> Open Firefox and type Subject: config in the address bar
- When you see a warning, click I'll be careful, I promise you
-> On the filter bar at the top of the topic: config page, type in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
- preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent , click Toggle -> it is now set to False
-> Close Firefox and restart Firefox
Check and tell if its working.
About new tabs at the end of 1.0, see this:
- https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/new-tabs-at-the-end/
- It clearly States in the Version information section that he works with: Firefox 3.6 - 6. So that means it is not supported / compatible with Firefox 7
- To get help with this add-on, ask developers to Add on this subject.

How can I get the new tab to open all the way to the right of the tabs old when I use the link open in a new tab?
Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent false on the subject: config page.
To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.
You can use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a pref. -
I've always been able to open new tabs in the same window, but since downloading some software, I'm more able to open a new tab! I also noticed that everything on my page keeps coming back to Yahoo, though even he is normally set to google. Can someone help with this problem? Thank you
The Ask toolbar is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +. Uninstall this extension.
There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:
- Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
- Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
