How do I get the tabs to start working after updating Firefox? It wont open new tabs for me now.
I downloaded the recent update for Firefox and now the new tabs will not work, either by clicking on the "+" symbol or by going to file create a new tab. Ive tried rebooting firefox and have had no luck. Any one else having this issue and know how to fix it?

We have seen reports about a Community Toolbar extension causing this issue with not being able to open a new tab.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
Ok, well I disabled and removed some things. There is one thing under my plug ins that says it is Unity Player that is known to be vulnerable and should be updated. When i go to update, it brings me to a fact page from Mozilla that this has been disabled because it is known to cause security issues. How can i just remove this from my computer instead of just permanently disabling it? I started in safe mode and the tab issue is now working. But how do I switch back? and see if it works out of safe mode? Just restart?
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
