firefox won't open on a tab

I opened up my computer this morning and clicked on the firefox icon on the desktop. Firefox opened as usual to my homepage. No problem. However, when I open another tab, I hit my bookmarked sites and they won't open up. My homepage won't open either on a tab. I've tried restarting my computer and that doesn't work. I also opened up Chrome and the tabs are working fine. That tells me the problem is with Firefox. Thanks for any help.
