Since installing the latest version of Firefox, the "New Tab" tab (with the plus sign) no longer does anything. How do I fix this bug?

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 check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
