Tabs will not open automatically (link appears but I have to manually hit "enter" or reload the tab).

When I recently updated Firefox, my tabs stopped working. When I right-click on a link and select "open new tab," the tab opens with the link in the address bar, but the page is blank. Only when I switch to the new tab, put my cursor on the address bar, highlight the entire address and hit "enter" does the page finally load. I've tried to look for answers in the forums and have played around with the tabbing options, but I cannot resolve the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
