Tab bar will not generate new tab if press+ - Links work- Right Button click 'open in new tab'
Now working with 3.6.18 (I had v4, then v5 briefly), the tab bar 'failed' in v5 so I went back to v3.6.18, but the problem followed. No matter how many tabs are open I cannot get a new blank tab by clicking the "+" tab on tab bar. I CANNOT get a new tab by mousing over another tab, right button menu "new tab" will not work.
I CAN select a bookmark "open in new tab" it works. I CAN do the same on a link, "open in new tab" it opens in a new tab.

Un-install the Ask toolbar, it is known to prevent Tabs from opening.

Didn't even know I had one, so I told it to display then went to the right hand end where a drop down menu offered "uninstall" and fired that , and again, and again, and again, the sticky little booger grinned back, but would not leave. Reminded me of early Windows days when Win would die and tell you, "I just lost all your work" "OK?" Going to look for a big hammer, it used to make me feel good to have the last FINAL word.
Yee-haaa, I shut down Firefox while I went for the hammer - and the uninstaller fired and offered to remove it. Thank you, thank you, thank you, reopening Firefox after removal, I held my breath and clicked "+" , then exhaled with a shout of glee as a new tab appeared, again and again and again. Yes Sirree you fixed it goo-o-ood. Dump the ASK bar.
