Foxfire won't let me open a new tab. I have my setting set to open a new tab. I've clicked on it and nothing happens. I've right clicked and selected open new tab and nothing happens. When I go to Foxfire for help it will open a new tab for help. When I try to use this tab to browse, anything in the other window gets shut down.

1. In the Tools menu select Add-ons to open the add-ons manager.

  2. In the Add-ons manager select the Extensions panel
  3. In the list of Extensions click on Ask Toolbar, then click the Uninstall button
  4. Restart Firefox and the Ask toolbar will be uninstalled. 

I found this solution and it worked!
