When I try to open a new window by clicking on the 'open new tab', it will not work.
I have to go back to my desktop and click on Firefox icon to get a new window. I've uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. It worked for a brief time and then stopped. I have 3.6.1 version of Firefox. I do NOT want 4.0 until the Norton issue is corrected.

Un-install the Ask Toolbar. Ask need to fix the problem with their toolbar that is causing new tabs to not open in Firefox.
