Firefox won't navigate between different tabs. How can I fix this?

If I try to right-click a link and select 'open link in new tab', Firefox opens a new tab, but won't allow me to view that new tab. Firefox will create new tabs from the 'file' menu bar and will allow me to view that new tab, but will not allow me to view any other previously opened tabs.

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.

See:

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
