I cannot open a new tab using the + or Ctrl T or from the file menu. The only way to open a new tab is to click a link. How do I fix this?

The "AskTbFXTV5/3.11.3.15590" part shows that you have the Ask toolbar installed. It is probably part of Foxit Reader - http://forums.foxitsoftware.com/showthread.php?10709-Ask-toolbar
