Hi

The tab function has stopped working. i can't open a new tab by klicking the + sign, through archive/new tab or by using CTRL T.

i've tried to uninstall Firefox an reinstall it by with no success. seriously need help with this. because we use firefox a lot at work because certain software/websites that we work with only work in your webbrowser.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:

I had to uninstall the Ask toolbar, not just uncheck it under Tools. Once I uninstalled it, the new windows tab worked.

solution of uninstalling ask tool bar (not just disabling it) was very helpful. it worked for me as well. in fact, i noticed too that the new-tabs problem started soon after ask toolbar had been installed since a few days after that, in an effort to fix the problem, i too had tried uninstalling/reinstalling firefox. thanks for your help...
