Win 7 (64 bit) - CTRL + t does not generate a new tab, or the "+" on the tab bar

• CTRL T does not load a new tab

  When I use Ctrl-T or click on the + tab, I get an error. The address bar has the addresses of all the tabs loaded in common and of course, fails. This occurs in the user account from my work, but not in the Admin or a new Test user account. Also, if I go to IE11, the same thing happens. He tries to load all the FF tabs at once! IE10 is ok.

  I tried all the basics, including several virus and malware analysis using 3 different products, full refresh of FF and reinstall ff. I don't want to reinstall the operating system, unless absolutely necessary.

  OS: Win 7 64-bit Ultimate. 12 G Ram, SSD 250G.

  Thank you

  Seems that you have set your (many) home pages, separated by a vertical bar (|) in the new tab page and who works for the home page, not the new tab page.
  You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page.

  You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
  You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/SearchReset/

  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).

• Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

  Firefox does not open in full screen on the task bar and I have to go over it to see the web page.

  Firefox window is sometimes "off screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

  A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt. You can delete this file and Firefox will return to standard window resizing.

  #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

  Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

  Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

  Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the start search bar menu type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the profiles folder:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

  Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

  Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

  Then, to re - light bars, you can use one of the following methods to view the list of the toolbar, and then select the desired bars it:

  • Right click on a place empty on the tab bar (or the button '+')
  • Press the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar > view > toolbars
  • in customize mode > show/hide toolbars (see: Customize Firefox commands, buttons, and toolbars)

  To activate the menu bar, toolbar bookmarks or other bars, click it in the list.

• Firefox does not open a new tab page, but if I use the "right mouse botton"-> "Duplicate tab" as it opens a new tab how can I solve this?

  Firefox does not open a new tab page, when I click on the small + firefox does not respanw, but if I use right mouse botton -> tab double as it opens a new tab how can I solve this?

  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:

  • 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

• CTRL-T and add a tab to the right of the tab button does not open a new tab

  Firefox worked fine and then both the Ctrl-T and add a new tab will not open a new tab. New tabs can be opened by a link.

  Make a check of malware with some scan of malware programs.
  
  You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
  
  Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database prior to scanning.

• Why does not open in new tab?

  When I try to open a link in a new tab, nothing happens

  These three fail?

  • Right click > open link in a new tab
  • CTRL + click on the link
  • Click the link with the mouse wheel (if you have one)

  If you use Firefox for a while, can associate you it in time with any software change, such as:

  • Firefox update
  • Windows Update
  • hardware driver update

  Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Can you open links in a new tab, or the same problem?

• Firefox does not open a new tab

  Firefox has stopped to let me open a new tab. If I click on the sign more, press Ctrl-T, or go to file > new tab, nothing happens. The only way that will open a new tab is if I click on a link in an email, it opens the link in a new tab. I use tabs frequently and it is very annoying to have to go get an email with a link just so I can open a tab. It doesn't matter if I only have a single or several tabs open. I have not installed another thing that Firefox and Windows updates (I have Windows 7). I am running Firefox 24.0 but the problem started with the earlier version.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  The problems of Firefox using Firefox SafeMode

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 15.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• Have a Pavillion DV ^-3250us, Win 7, 64 Bit. WIFI does not illuminate

  Wireless won't turn on; wired connection is fine.

  HP wireless Asst says that the wireless is activated by the keyboard. Steady orange light & does not illuminate.

  If I turn off the power & remove the battery, I can get a blue light when I turn on the PC.

  But then the PC wants to update the driver.  When she did this, the problem returns.

  Before replacing the BIOS, I decided to try something less drastic.

  (Always to play with the BIOS that makes me sick at heart)

  I noticed that the driver installation always fails.

  But before the boot process that took well to the long, I noticed that I could turn the wireless card on & turn off with the F12 key.

  But once the initialization is completed, the card might be disabled.

  Therefore, I have concluded that the material of the wireless card was probably good.

  Then, I deleted the driver and let Windows update select the BIOS install.

  The next round of selected SW another update driver to install; and now everything works.

  So something must have gotten corrupted and caused the wrong driver to settle.

• Win 7 32 bit wudfsvc service does not start because the wudfpf driver is not loaded

  Hello

  I'm unable to connect USB devices like camera and phone the driver installation fails. The error can not remember (logging this from another machine) but something like "service not loaded or marked for deletion. Concluded that the Wudfsvc service is not started, even if it is marked as automatic. When I try to run it manually I get an error. Looking at the event log indicated that the dependent wudfpf driver is not loaded. I looked, and the driver is it physically in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers. Not sure where to go from here.

  Thank you

  Can you open regedit and navigate to the following registry key:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\WudfPf

  In this key, in the right window, is an ImagePath value

  Are the data for ImagePath what follows? :

  system32\drivers\WudfPf.sys

• Keyboard shortcut for close tab (CTRL + W) does NOT work for PDF tabs. Why? Solution?

  Hello

  I had to use the keyboard rather than the mouse or trackpad pretty much recently due to injury. At the closing of the tabs, CTRL + W seems to do. However, it does not always work. It does not work with PDFs and often on YouTube as well.

  What I've read, it's because of the development of collection of plugins. However, isn't there a way to replace it, because it's pretty heavy from the accessibility point of view?

  Thank you!

  Hello, in regard to a PDF file, you may want to try the extension pdf.js (there could be still some bugs, but it is under very active development) - it makes PDF files with common web technology & shouldn't trap keyboard focus...

• CTRL + t and go to the new tab does not open a new tab

  Since this last Sunday, March 13, I not was able to open a new tab. I used to use ctrl + t and it would open a new tab. I also tried going to lead upward in the toolbar, and go to the new tab and is not no longer works. The only way I can get a new tab is to go to help in the toolbar and go to the troubleshooting Info. This opens up this tab, and I change for the address I need to go.

  Help!

  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.

• Installed new module memory for laptop, found original was bad, while windows Vista does not start by going blank after the "status bar".

  I have a Windows Vista running on a Sony VIAO laptop and has been updated with level 3 to 4 GB of memory. During the memory test, I found that 2 GB of original module was bad and replace it with the new 2 GB module end back where I started with 3 GB. However, Windows starts only at a little past the rectangle with 3 points moving ("State Bar"?) and them it goes to black and the desktop never appears. I tried to roll back to the last working version of Windows settings, but always the same results.

  What can I do now? Is there a way to check and fix disk errors?  Is it possible to install Windows XP Pro or I have to go to Windows 7.  I even has System Mechanic Pro running on this laptop and it did help some casued the problem. It's as if the disc is damaged for some reason any.  Only with Vista felt this helpless.

  It seems to me that the new memory you have installed is bad or incompatible with the system.  First, remove all chips and reinstall them and then try to make sure that they are correct and secure again - don't just press them in place, effectively remove and the replacement and make sure they are in the right direction.

  Boot from the Installation of Windows Vista genuine disc (or you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc with recovery options included in this topic. If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD (perhaps made on another computer, or perhaps in SafeMode with network if it does not - that would be a good sign if it is true). You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.  Select recovery options and follow the instructions until you see the menu.  Once there, select the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool and run it and see what it says.  If it detects problems (and I suspect it might), you may need to replace the new chip memory.

  I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try other options.

  Good luck!
