When I click on the new tab + sign or File-New Tab I get nothing. If I tell a bookmark to open in a new tab, that works, but that's a pain.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
