Firefox will not perform correctly when I open new Firefox windows
The only Firefox windows that work correctly are the first window I open (which has tabs saved) and the window that opens when I go into tools> options> help, any other new Firefox window I open wont let me open a new tab or window from the page I am on (I can still open new tabs with the bookmarks or new tab button), I can't use the back page/forward page/refresh page/stop loading page buttons and the page I am on doesn't show in the address bar.

go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click Check for Updates -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
-> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset"
-> go to View Menu -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect all unwanted toolbars

Thank you, I could not find the help menu you mentioned so I decided I'd just upgrade to the next Firefox, afterwards I found the help menu you talked about but my problem was fixed with the upgrade so now its all better, but now I hate the new layout so if there are any patches to make it a little more like the old way I would love to know about them, and thank you again for your help.
Thank you. I had this problem after upgrading to Firefox 5. It turned out to be a toolbar in extensions that was causing the problem.
beginning to hate firefox, why wont it load certain pages?
for instance nationalrail.co.uk when i open in internet explorer the journey planner box as you type it turns to yellow and lists the stations but it dont do it in firefox??
amazon.co.uk wont let you order anything in checkout process, works in ie why?
any ideas please
thanks
@danjv87 Make your Firefox version look like 3.6

I looked at all of this and thought...How can this help? But it did!! Thanks!!
I don't think I even had to change anything except:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect all unwanted toolbars
This is where I deselected Add On Bar.
But who knows, just going through the exercise may have corrected everything!
