I can no longer open a new tab in firefox
I cannot open a new tab in firefox. If I click on a link, a new tab opens, but if I use the new tab button or control t nothing happens. I used to be able to open multiple tabs, but suddenly this changed. Can you tell my why?

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.
Thank you for your reply, but I don't have the ask toolbar installed.

Wow! That worked. Thanks so much. When I clicked view, toolbars, ask was not checked so I thought it was not installed. I guess I was wrong. Thanks again.
Removing the Ask toolbar in the Win Control Panel did the trick! Thanks!
I attempted the fix. I do not have the Ask toolbar installed. Any other ideas??
