I haven't been able to open new tabs using the new tab (+ icon) or the File/New Tab, or Ctl+T. We chose not to do the last Firefox update. Restarting the browser and restarting the computer have not helped. Right Click/Open in new tab works.

Solved It! It was a browser bar that had been 'X'ed out so I didn't know it was there.

Thanks!
