I cannot seem to open new tabs when using firefox. I have tried clicking on the new tab button, right clicking and selecting new tab and have tried File, new tab and none of them will produce a new tab. However if I click on a website link in the current tab it will open a new tab. It just seems to be when I want to manually open a tab.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Uninstall 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.

There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
