When I'm in the initial web page that opened when Firefox loaded, I'm not able to open a new tab/page when I click on the "+" sign. Is there a setting I need to adjust? Thanks.

It is possible that your problem was caused by an extension that was disabled after updating.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
