I open firefox it loads my home page, I click on the "+" in the tab bar to open a new tab and nothing happens, when I go to the drop down menu under file and select new tab no new tab is created. when I open a link from a web page it opens fine in a new tab (I have set the option to open new tab instead of new window when being redirected to a new site.) It worked fine last Thursday but not now - best of luck recreating - looking forward to your resolution - thank you - I am unsure about which plugins are installed nor where to locate that information sorry

Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause problems opening new tabs.
