When I click directly on the + tab at the right of the tabs ("Open a new tab") nothing happens. When I R-click the mouse while hovering over the + tab and select New Tab, nothing happens. In other words, I cannot use the multi-tab capability of Firefox...any ideas on how to fix this?

Try uninstalling 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.

I had the same problem using Firefox 3.6.15 under Windows XP - your suggestion to remove the Ask toolbar (I removed it via the menue "Extras - Add-ons") helped. Thank you.
