Tabs do not open

David Vo replied

When clicking on + in the tab menu, new tab no longer opens. Right click and "New Tab" don't work either. However opening a bookmark in "new tab" opens that certain page. Tried to restore firefox, and it did not solve the issue. What should I do to be able to open tabs again?
