When I click on the "new tab" button, or when I click "file, new tab" it doesn't work, also when I click ctrl + T it doesn't open a new tab. I miss my tabbed browsing - ideas?

I have recently upgraded firefox, but this issue began yesterday, before the upgrade. I was hoping the upgrade would correct it, no such luck.

I started firefox in safe mode and discovered that you have pinpointed the issue - when I uninstalled the ask.com toolbar (which was disabled, anyway) the problem is corrected. Thanks for the solution, cor-el!

uninstalling the ask toolbar worked for me as well. i wish i would have looked here before I uninstalled the Beta version of Firefox 4.

yeah! after hours of trying to ask the right question to solve this problem, I found this thread, removed the Ask toolbar add-on, and it's all back to normal!
