Firefox will not open new 'tabs', not sure if its disabled, but does anyone know how to enable the use of my tabs?
Firefox will not open any tabs on my browser. I've tried using all alternatives to open a new tab - using the 'plus' (+) button doesn't work, 'control + T' doesn't work, going to File and clicking 'new tab' doesn't work either? Help please!

Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause that problem.
