when i right click to open link in a new tab , the new tab is blank and wont load the page. But, if I right click and open in a new window it loads the page just fine. This is after I upgraded to firefox 4.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank for the fast response. I restarted in safe mode, disabled all add-ons; then restarted again and it works with new tabs. I went back into manage add-ons and enabled the ones i was sure of and really needed.


Seems to be working fine now. Again, Thanks for the fast help.
