I can't open a new tab up in the same window when I click the little + sign next to the first tab. How do I get that to work on FF4 for Windows Vista?
I have a Sony Vaio labtop with Windows Vista, just updated to the new Firefox and now when I go to add a tab in the same window, it won't allow a new one. I clicked the + button/tab thing a bunch of times and nothing happens. What can I do to fix this? I'm not very computer literate so step by step directions would help alot. Thanks for any help.

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:
- Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
- Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
