Why new tabs do not place the cursor in the url as before?
yesterday, I click New tab and the tab page comes up with the emphasis placed in the URL bar Highlighter and all I have to do is enter the address I want to search or go to
Today, the focus ends up with the cursor at the end of the address in the URL bar... NOT GOOD!
Hello, you can try to reproduce this behavior when you start firefox in safe mode, once? If not, perhaps an addon intrudes here...

I'm new to Firefox, but experience a great improvement on IE. I find it heavy to have to open a new front tab - I use the search bar... I would largely prefer a similar option to 'search results appear in a new tab.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I found it.
This preference can be changed by typing about: config
(1) type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter (click the button promising to be careful and please be careful!)
(2) in the filter box, type or paste the Search and pause until the preferences are filtered
(3) double-click browser.search.openintab to change for real. You're done, you can close all: config now.

You are a person of keyboard or mouse?
Using the keyboard after you type your query, hold down the Alt key while pressing ENTER to open search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold the Alt key when you press ENTER to open this site in a new tab.
Using the mouse, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
Is there a way to always open in a new tab without having search results to use the Alt or Ctrl key? Hmmm, perhaps, I have not studied that.

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).

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).

The button new tab does not appear. How can I activate it...?
Just updated to the 6.0.2 o Firefox version and found that the new tab button does not appear... Please advise...
The morphs of button tab depending on where you place it. In the tab bar, it is a large Plus sign ('+'). in an another toolbar, this is a black silhouette tab file with a white sign. If you have tabs on the top you have to be careful where you place - try the far right of the tab bar, or if you have a button close the simple tab on the far right, you can place the new tab button just to the left of the button to close the tab.
To learn more about the changes, toolbars, including how to put them back to see items #1-10,
You can make Firefox 6.0.2 look to Firefox 3.6. *, see numbered items 1-10 of the next topic difficulty Firefox 4.0 UI toolbar, problems (make Firefox 4.0 to 8.0, resemble 3.6). If you make changes, you must be aware of what has changed and what it takes to use changed or missing features.

When I click on the '+' to the right of the last open tab on the tab bar, a new tab will not open. Help, thanks, Jim

new tab does not appear when you press the button "open"
A few days ago I suddenly can not open a new tab when you press the button open tab , press file-> open the tab, or Open the tab button next to a tab...
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.

New tab does not allow you to type in the URL
When I select a new tab, that I can no longer enter a URL. I type it in and press enter and Firefox deletes it instead of going on the site. I can only choose from the dropdown list or an icon in the toolbar.
Also when I chose Google in my toolbar and started banging, a drop-down list appears blocking my vision of what I was typing.
I use the 40.0.3 Version and Windows 10.
This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.
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

new tabs do not go to the home page
I tried everything: config, browser/newtab/url, put my desired url in and registered. I leave firefox, firefox restarted, and it opened to my home page. When I clicked on the new tab, it won't go to my desired url. I have tried re subject: config, brower/newtab... and the correct url is in there, but it still does not go to my desired url when I click New tab. Looks like something is the substitution of my preferences.
Can you please try to start firefox in safe mode and see if that makes the issue to go away? To do this, hold down the option key while starting firefox. If the problem disappears, it is probably an add-on causing the problem. Try disabling each addon one at a time and see what the origin of the problem.

Since the upgrade of my new tab does not work, I press on the + icon and nothing
Since the upgrade of my new tab does not work, I press on the + icon and nothing
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.
- In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

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?

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.
