Whenever I try to hit the new tab button, or go to File->New Tab, or press ctrl+T nothing happens. The only way I've managed to successfully get another tab going is by right clicking an link and opening it in a new tab that way. However, I can't keep doing this if the link in question isn't where I want to go in the first place. It's unnecessary red tape and it's bothering me quite a bit. Is there any way to fix this?

Hi Katsu_Hikari, try Firefox Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:

  • Click the menu button New Fx Menu, click Help Help-29 and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".

SafeMode-Fx35

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article to find the cause.

To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.


thank you
