I cannot open a new tab

I cannor open a new tab when I use the command File/New tab or when I click on the X at the right of the tab bar or when I click right on the X then click left on the New tab command I've tried in other sessions, the New tab commands work. It looks like I have a problem with my settings.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar was installed when you installed the Foxit reader.

Thanks for the quick reply. In the mean time I upgraded FF to FF4.0 and the problem seems to have disappeared. But I bookmarked your links, just in case.
