TOOL BAR ADD TAB NOT WORKING EVEN AFTER REINSTALL.
ADD TAB IN TOOL BAR HAS BECOME NON RESPONSIVE. UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL DIDN'T HELP. YOU CAN STILL GET NEW TABS BY RT CLICKING FROM BOOKMARKS. BUT THE BUTTON AND THE PULL DOWN MENUS DON'T WORK. MY FIRST SUSPECT IS A VIRUS AS I JUST CLEANED ONE OUT OF MY SYSTEM. MAYBE A BROWSER HELPER LEFT SOMETHING FROM IT IN THE CODE. THIS WAS ABOUT THE TIME THAT NEW THREAT TO MOST OF THE WINDOWS SYSTEMS WENT OUT. SORRY CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH VIRUS I CLEANED. I CAUGHT IT AND CLEANED IT AUTOMATICALLY.

You should fix that stuck Caps Lock key, so you aren't shouting.
Try disabling the Ask Toolbar extension. Something in that extension isn't compatible with the 3.6.13 security update.
I ADAPTED THIS STYLE AS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ AND... so I could interject a subtext easier. SHOUTING WAS NEVER THE INTENT. sorry about that Chief. THANK YOU FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE AND MUCH NEEDED HELP!!!!! seats are cheap here. THE ASK TOOLBAR WAS ONE OF THOSE THINGS I USUALLY LOCATE AND OPT OUT OF WHEN INSTALLING A NEW PROGRAM. I DIDN'T CATCH IT THE LAST TIME AND HAD A LITTLE TROUBLE GETTING RID OF IT SO I DISABLED IT or so I thought WITH THE INTENT TO GET IT LATER. I HAD TRIED TO USE THE [ADD/REMOVE] FROM THE CONTROL PANEL WITHOUT SUCCESS.I completely forgot about the firefox add on console. I'VE SINCE TAKEN THAT OPTION AND I'M SURE THAT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. ILL LET YOU KNOW. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE GOOD WORK!!!!!! gee, I hope he heard me. they say that more than three exclamation marks is an indication of a damaged psyche.
HERE'S AN UPDATE. THE ADD ON CONSOLE DIDN'T WORK. BUT... MAKE SURE THAT THE ASK TOOLBAR IS ENABLED AND TO THE VERY RIGHT OF SAID TOOL BAR, IS A MENU OPTION TO UNINSTALL. WHEN YOU ACTIVATE IT, A WARNING COMES UP TO TELL YOU TO CLOSE ALL BROWSER WINDOWS TO COMPLETE THE UNINSTALL. YOU DO THIS AND HIT OK JUST TO GET THE WARNING REPEATED AND THE UNINSTALL STILL LOCKED INTO THE SAME LOOP. GET FRUSTRATED AND VERY ANGRY, THEN HIT CANCEL WHILE CURSING YOUR FAVORITE SMALL GOD. RESTART FIREFOX AND THE ASK.COM TOOLBAR IS GONE ALONG WITH....wait for it YOUR TAB PROBLEM. BY THE WAY ED... NOT A CAT FAN. BUT, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE YOU THE EYE.
