Firefox "Open New Tab" button does not work

Post by conniemaze »

My "Open New Tab" button does not work - I have eliminated problems with the computer, and I can use IE as my browser and open new windows. This just star1ted two days ago after years of use with Firefox browser.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

The problem is going to be in getting rid of the Ask toolbar. From various reports, it appears a bit "sticky".

Hi, Guys
Updated to FF4 today & I too was having this problem. ](*,) With all add ons disabled works fine & do not have the Ask tool bar as suggested. My problem was with the Fox Clocks add on which disabled now open tab contex menu working fine.
In addition, saw a tip how to change the annoying order change of open in new tab and window back to what normally was. :mrgreen:
