Cannot open new tabs or load new sites by typing in URL.
When I click on the "+" button to open a tab (or from the File menu) nothing happens. Also when I try to go to a new web page by typing in the URL, nothing happens. A new web page and tab only opens by clicking on a (Google) search result item. Re-starting Mozilla does not help.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
- Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
You can use one of these to start Firefox in Safe mode:
- On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
- On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
- Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
If it does work in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Thanks to both of you. The culprit was the ASK Toolbar 3.15.4100013. Everything OK with it removed.
