cannot get multiple tabs with multiple web pages
Hi, My plain vanilla firefox browser in Win 8 has stopped giving me multiple tabs when I access more than 1 web url. Before say I access 5 sites, then for each site I get 5 tabs so I can easily switch between web pages. Now they all appear under 1 tab only. Ticking the box in Tools/Options/Tabs/open new window in a new tab instead, doesn't work...very frustrating....any ideas? Many thanks

I'm not sure I understand the change, so let me mention a few things and you can reply with comments and clarifications.
How are you directing links to new tabs: do you use one of these methods?
- right-click > Open Link in New Tab
- Ctrl+left-click
- middle-click (using a mouse scroll wheel)
Other issues:
- Is Firefox's tab bar not showing or behaving strangely? (Please describe in more details if applicable.)
- If the problem is that the Windows Task Bar is not working the way it used to, check the last setting on the Tabs panel of the Options dialog: "Show tab previews in the Windows Taskbar" to see whether that is what got turned off.
- If the problem is that Google results used to automatically open in a new tab but now they open in the same tab, you need to select "new window" in Google search preferences: https://www.google.com/preferences
