Every time I try to access a blank tab, I am unable to. I've tried using the shortcut (command + T), manually selecting "new tab", and clicking the (+) tab button. This issue occurred after my recent Mozilla update.

Chosen solution

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
