  Hello lsmalls787, 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.

  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.

  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.

• I can't open a new tab. I click on the tab and nothing happens. Can someone advise?

  It's as if the tab key is frozen. Open to all advice and suggestions.

  I think that I read in other posts here that this could be a side effect of the Ask toolbar. Can you check it out here and if you have it, and turn it off if you do?

  If not, the other suggested troubleshooting steps are the solution in this thread: cannot open new tabs; no Ask toolbar | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox help

• Firefox won't open a new tab

  Firefox won't open a new tab on my browser - the option is there, but when I press nothing happens? I have checked all of my options, but couldn't find anything wrong?

  Hello, it seems that you run a very outdated version of firefox & old plugins - this is a serious security risk, because there have been dozens of corrected critical vulnerabilities from firefox 3.6 was released (it was more than two years ago).

  You must do the following as soon as possible:

  • Download and install the latest version of firefox from getfirefox.com
  • Check your plugins to https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/ & update all those which are obsolete
  • You can also remove all the toolbars you have installed, because they can cause problems. in firefox, go to tools > addons > extensions and uninstall Yahoo! toolbar, motor driven, Radio TV 2.1 Community Toolbar and "Ask Toolbar". then you can launch the searchreset extension to restore the search parameters which leads crushed...
  • do a full scan of your system with your security software

• When I open a new tab, it goes straight to the Bing, rather than the white page.

  I recently downloaded a program called PDFlite to view the PDF files. He seems to have changed some settings on my Firefox, I does not allow to do so. I am today and there was a Bing toolbar, which I disabled it without problem. But now when I open a new tab, it goes directly into the Bing search engine, rather than the blank page where it used to go. This turn off the coast. I hate Bing. I checked my addons and there is no new addons added by the program. I can't understand what is happening. Help, please!

• My Firefox is no longer will open a new tab when I click on it, or when I use the shortcut.

  I tried looking through all the settings it gave me and I can't find when it won't let me open a new tab. All the settings that I have are the parameters by default and before that happens, I wasn't even in the frame, so it's not like I was messing around with them and then he messed up it just happened once. I have no virus or anything because I use 3 virus different scans and they say that my own computer. My virus scan programs are also up-to-date as I've updated them today.

• How can I open a new tab and enter automatically in the address bar and not in the Firefox search engine?

  When I open a new tab I see Google search smooth with large beautiful Firefox logo on the top center of research, and makes me automatically type in this research. Is there a way to automatically enter address bar when a new tab is opened? Just moved to Firefox and it's quite annoying.
  Thanks to all the advice.

  Looks like you have set browser.newtab.url to Subject: House which opens the default home page in each new tab. The simplest thing to do is to reset this preference so that instead of the new tab page:

  1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
  2. To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
  3. In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
  4. In the search results, click browser.newtab.url , and then choose reset.

  Otherwise,.

  1. Custom installation tab.
     • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
  2. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
  3. Next to the new custom label, click on the Options button.
  4. The value of any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.

• I keeos is searchnu when I opened a new tab and I tried ALL the help topics and nothing worked. I will uninstall firefox completely.

  I've done everything I can find in the support section, and every time I open a new tab, I get searchnu. Whenever I use the search url bar, it uses searchnu. I have the google search bar, but it does not work. I einto gon subject: config I don't know how many times and changed the url for keyword and when I start firefox again, it changes again in searchnu. There is nowhere in my control panel and it is not in my modules or extensions. It is also appear in my browser.startup.homepage it keeps on rebooting and I'm about to uninstall firefox altogether.

  I am also a victim of a searchnu. It takes somehow my IE homepage, but I even have not yet installed anything last month. Fortunately I get rid of this nasty browser pirate using a tutorial of removing of searchnu:http://www.virus-delete.com/en/guides/browser-hijacker-removal/how-to-remove-searchnucom-through-isafe-virus-removal-tool.html
  So I would like to share here in order to see if it helps ^ ^

  But I still can't understand what that how you houses delta virus appear on my laptop even I didn't install anything before?

• When I click the icon to open a new tab, how can I be the same web page as the current one I'm clicking a +?

  For example, if I'm on a web page of recipe and I click on the + icon to open a new tab, so I can look at the comments to this recipe while keeping the web page of recipe, open the new tab appears as a blank page research right now. I wish the new coming tab like the page of a recipe where I was when I clicked on the + to a new tab. In this way, I don't have to go get the Web of recipe in the new tab page, and comments... I would already be on the same web page of recipe in the new tab and then simply click on reviews. I hope I have explained this clearly. Thank you!

  This thread has some solutions:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/762043

  The simplest seems to be: hold CTRL and left click on the button reload. You can also click the reload (for example 'click' with the mouse wheel, if you have a mouse wheel.) The thread above has other options.

  Edit: you could also hold down the Ctrl key and drag a tab beside himself to clone, another suggestion of the thread above.
