Recently, I've installed a Firefox update and now all of a sudden, I can't open a new tab using the "+" button on the side of an open window, nor in the "file/new tab" option, nor "ctrl+T" button combination. I can, however, open link in a new tab, but I can't open just a new tab - it has to be a link. How to I fix this? This was working before the update.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.

There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
