make new tab automatically open?
when i clicked on the green + arrow at the top,( to open a new tab) in firefox 4, it automatically opened to the new tab. i downloaded firefox 5, and now when i click the green arrow, it stays on my current page and the new tab just opens, then i have to go up and click on it to open that tab. how do i make it automatically open? also, i tried in the preferences, checking the box that says "when i open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" and that only works when i open a link, not just a blank page.

The "+" button should switch to the new tab by default.
Do you have any tab-related add-ons? If so, they might be slightly incompatible with Firefox 5. You could check here:
orange Firefox button or Tools menu > Add-ons
I'd start with the Extensions.
thanks, i found out it was Foxtab topsites. i disabled it for now, until they update a version that works with Firefox 5. thanks!!
thanks.. this had been bugging me for a few days now. indeed foxtab is the problem.
