No "new tabs"; Tabs NOT working properly
I can't open a new tab. If I tell it "new" tab it will just open in the current window I'm in with NO go back page option. It just will NOT open a "new" tab. I'm running Firefox 3.6.3 on Ubuntu 10.04
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== Today with New computer

I have found that the add-on "littleye" was causing the tabs issue. I've been using littleye for several months and have it loaded on my OLD computer that is also has Ubuntu 10.04 and Firefox 3.6.3. Tabs and everything works on the OLD computer, but if I load "littleye" on my NEW computer, it breaks it.
I've unintalled it and have contacted the site that runs littleye in hope they can over me a fix, seeing I use littleye as a way to monitor children's Internet access and prevent them from viewing certain sites.

The Ask Toolbar was inadvertently installed on my machine (along with something else I guess). It was causing tabs to stop working. I disabled it and now tabs work again.

Thanks, Marc_B, I removed the annoying Ask Toolbar and the tabs function is working, again.
I have disabled the Ask toolbar 3.11.x.x which was not allowing to open new tabs in firefox.
yes , its the ask toolbar that cause this problem
