I cannot open a new tab

I cannor open a new tab when I use the command File/New tab or when I click on the X at the right of the tab bar or when I click right on the X then click left on the New tab command I've tried in other sessions, the New tab commands work. It looks like I have a problem with my settings.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened. The Ask toolbar was installed when you installed the Foxit reader.

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

Thanks for the quick reply. In the mean time I upgraded FF to FF4.0 and the problem seems to have disappeared. But I bookmarked your links, just in case.
