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.

There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:

TonyE, This info may help if it shows up again! I "solved" it by doing a SYSTEM RESTORE!, yesterday. I would not have expected to have had the ask toolbar disappear as a result of a restore. I did did not find the toolbar under extensions or the control panel-programs. After the fact!
