Can't create new tab using '+' or ctrl T or drop down menu.
Clicking on '+' in tab bar, using ctrl T or using the drop down File menu new tab will NOT create a new tab. New tabs only created if selecting a link creates one.
Chosen solution
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.

Check the Windows Control panel 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
