When more tabs open only the new tab content gets desplayed. How can I solve this?

I am using a macbook pro and a imac. I updated both to Firefox 5 yesterday. The imac is fine but on the macbook pro firefox behaves strange after restart. If I have more than one tab open, I can not go back to a previous tab. The animation shows that the Tab was click and is active but it doesn't change the the web content and displays only the content of the newest tab.

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

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
  • Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in Safe mode:

  • Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
  • Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
