New Tab not auto created, have to manually initiate

Works fine on my Windows 11 Dell Inspiron, but not on Windows 11 Surface Pro, with Firefox sync active. New Tab is supposed to be always present, and when you use it for a site, a new tab is created. On Surface Pro I have to manually create a New Tab every time I need one.

Suggestions?

Hi Donald, my Firefox doesn't work like that: it doesn't create new tabs automatically without my requesting them. Is it possible you installed an add-on which is adding that behavior?

I'll have to look for what is doing this on my laptop, and add it to my Surface Pro. In searching Firefox, I can't find a specific add on but may be part of another one. We'll see...
