  • 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:

    Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • 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.

  • The botton to open a new tab does not work. How can I solve this problem?

    next to the tabs, one that opens a new Quick tab does not work, also the ctrl + T keyboard command does not work as low. The only way to open a new tab is right on the mouse, but still click on a link, I can not open a new empty tab.
    Thank you

    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.

  • My 'new tab' button, the ctrl + T and go to file, new tab does not work

    When I click to open a new tab, it does not open. If I do ctrl + T, it will not open a new tab. If I go to folder and select the new tab, it will not open a new tab. The only way it will open a new tab is if I click with the right button on a link somewhere on the page and click New tab. It's weird.

    And while I'm at it, I went to download firefox 4.o it came with an error page so I can't download firefox again...

    This problem may be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Modules > Extensions)

    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: Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

  • 'Open the link in a new tab' does not work. I tried with all disabled add-ons and it still does not work.

    When I right-click a link and select 'open in a new tab' and 'opens in a new window', nothing happens. In addition, nothing happens when I type a query in the search bar and press ENTER. I tried to restart firefox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, but the problems continue.

    The setting in "tools > Options > tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead" is for links that specify a target window (for example, target = _blank) to open the link.
    This option allows to divert these links into a new tab instead of a new window.
    Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab, unless you redefine that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left click (new tab) or a left click UPDATE (new window) or via the context menu.

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Open a new tab does not work

    Yesterday the + tab opens a new tab when you click it. Today, it doesn't. New tab file does not work either. I use OS X El Capitan. I really want to use FireFox as my browser - it's much faster than Chrome. But I'm not going to open a new window every time I want to start something new.

    Continue the behavior mode without failure of Firefox? https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/troubleshoot-Firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

    If Yes, then we can rule out assorted settings, Extensions and themes. Next step is probably malware analyses, but I don't know what scanners are good for Mac OS.

    If not, then it is time to start weeding the themes and Extensions 1 by 1 until the culprit is found.

  • 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.

  • New tab will not open

    When I click to open a new tab, the new tab does not open. Some web pages open new tabs correctly. I tried safe mode and new tabs will open correctly in the corresponding mode. I use Norton to anti-protection against viruses. What is Norton causing the problem or am I looking for another cause?

    Type of topic: addons< enter > in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager.
    Access key; < Control >(Mac: < command >)< shift > has)

    In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions.
    Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

    Some added addons toolbar and anti-virus are known to cause
    Firefox issues. Disable all of them.

    If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the
    the problem disappeared. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem.
    Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

    Once you think you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the
    others, then restart. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

    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?

  • When a pop-up window opens in a new tab, do NOT pass it immediately

    Hello.
    I changed the value of browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction from 2 to 0. Now pop-ups will open in a new tab instead of new window, which is cool.
    But still firefox goes immediately to the ToolTip that gets opened in a new tab.
    I want to have firefox in a way that, when a pop-up window is opened in a new tab, do NOT pass it immediately.

    Note: The option "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" in the menu Options-> tabs, is already disabled.

    Try to set the pref browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true on the topic: config page.
