I have two tabs up "facebook and download.com" now if I click on a fresh page I hope to see a 3rd tab open up but no! it just opens up in one of the two tabs I have already have open.

I have no idea why this is!

You have two Tab-related extensions installed, disable them alternately and together to see if one of them are causing that, or if they just don't work together.

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link in.
That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.

  • Hold down the Ctrl key and left-click a link or middle-click a link to open a link or bookmark in a new tab.
  • Hold down the Shift key in addition to the Ctrl left-click or middle-click to toggle loading in the background.
  • Hold down Shift and left-click a link to open a link in a new window.

Links that do not specify a target window open by default in the current tab. .
