How do I get new tabs to function? Nothing will open in a new tab.
I cannot use new tabs. I use right-click and "Open in New Tab" and the tab is there but the focus does not switch to it. I can right-click on the tab and "Open in New Window" but not a new tab. If I close the first tab, to the left, the unfocused, unavailable tab opens but, then it is the only tab open.
So, I do not have tabbed browsing on the latest version of Firefox.

Well, I already did that with the previous version of FF when this started. I t got worse with FF v.9.
I went to a Mozilla web page that checked plugins to see if they were up to date. All of them were.
But, when I had this "Tab" problem before I remembered a solution that mentioned something about Java or Java Script being involved. The plugin test page showed no Java Plugin(s).
So, I went to the Java/Oracle website and downloaded and updated Java. Later that night I had full joy with the tabbed browsing in Firefox v.9.0.1.
Problem is solved.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
