I am no longer able to open new tabs. When I click the button, nothing happens. Help!
Clicking "Open a new tab" in my browser does nothing. However, if I right click a link from an existing tab and then click open a new tab, the new tab opens and the page loads. The button on the browser, the one with the + in the middle, it does nothing. HELP!

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. The Ask toolbar can be installed as part of Foxit.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
- 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
Thanks a lot. The Ask toolbar is gone and my tabs work again. Much appreciated.
