New Tab Not Working!
Since update I can no longer use the new tab function. I select new tab and then enter an address or a bookmark link and nothing happens. Please help!

Do you have the Mega extension?
Yes I did and it was one of three I disabled.

Hello leoone, do you mean clicking on the new tab button does not work? What happens when you try to open a link in a new tab (right click on a link > Open in a new tab)?
New tab button will not load anything it just hangs. Right click a link and open in new tab does load the bookmark, but this is an extra step that was not required before. If I press Ctrl T for a new blank tab then do a search or select a bookmark the page does not load.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

This worked thank you. Disabled a few legacy extensions, New Tab is back to functioning as before.

If you have tried all these and is still not working then you try the steps below-
1) Go to the root folder where Firefox is installed
it is generally installed in C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox)
2) Right-click Firefox- properties-details tab and click on Remove properties and personal information-just click ok 3) now a new firefox - Copy.exe is created
use the new one as your default browser
I hope this helps
