Firefox Support Forum

The add-on extension "NewTabURL" (by "sogame") provided the option I want and used for a number of years. But it stopped working when Firefox was updated to version 16.0. When I click for a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

Can the extension "NewTabURL" be revised to work in version 16 and/or version 17? If not, how else can I get the new tab functionality that I desire? I can't seem to find any other extension that provides that functionality.

The new tab (+) is not working. The File/New Tab function does not work either. Both had been working properly until midday today. I have not added any software, plug-ins, or extensions today, I do not have the Ask toolbar. I have tried several of the suggestions made on this site to no avail.

I have history turned off so images aren't cached for the New Tab Page and have to be reloaded when Firefox is restarted. Also, some of the sites that I have pinned are using HTTPS and wont allow their images to be cached.

Is there a way for me to set a custom image for each pinned website? Either a custom screenshot that isn't in the cache or an icon of some sort? Anything would be better than a blank box there.

Thank you

This just began to happen yesterday. I have a MacBook Pro 10.7.5. I can always get to the first page that I open in a new browser, but any page after that that I try to open in a new tab will seem to load but the page is blank. This does not just happen with one website I have tried myriad of different sites.. only the first tab loads in a new browser. I am having to open a new browser if i want to go to another link - very frustrating..

In FF 17.0.1 I have several bugs to mention. I am only able to open bookmarks by right clicking them and selecting Open In New Tab from the drop down menu. I am unable to open a new tab by clicking on the new tab button or by clicking open new tab from the FF drop down menu at top of browser. Also, none button work in FF, such as Home, Back, Forward, or refresh. This is so aggravating!!

I cannot open a new tab by clicking the + sign in Firefox. This feature works in Chrome and IE. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. I have done all the available updates. I have done a reboot 2x. Ctrl T will not open a new tab either; however, I can do a search for something and right click to open in a new tab. I use the tabs frequently and really miss them.

HELP!!!

A tab keeps opening in all of my synced PCs & laptops. It says

Setup Complete

Your data is now being encrypted and uploaded in the background. You can close this tab and continue using Firefox.

I have used Firefox for years and have always used Tabs instead of opening new windows. I have always been able to click the little "X" on the right side of the tab to close it. I am finding now that I cannot close the current tab by doing this. I have to click on another open tab and then click on the other tab I wanted to close.

I have looked through the Options many times trying to see if there is a setting I need to change, but have not found anything.

Is it possible in this version of Firefox (v17.0.1) to close the current tab?

I am using Firefox Version 17. Previous versions had a triangle on the right end of the toolbar that would show a list of tabs open on the window. I no longer see it.

It was described in the "Help" instructions as follows:

There is a tiny little button, you may have been ignoring. It does something wonderful. It looks like a really small downward triangle. Use that little button to engage the tab list.

For the last week or so i have not been able to open a new tab, have looked through a lot of the solutions on here but none seem to have wroked, i have disabled all add ons in the add on manager and removed the ASK toolbar and still can't open a new tab, it is becoming very frustrating! The only way i can get a new tab open is to click on a somewhere and hope it opens in a new window, can anyone help me solve this issue please?

I need to remove my folders from aol to a flash drive for storage. I have tried to find the path on my pc but cannot locate it. I need to know if this can be done? Also I need to know if I will be able to open the emails from the flash drive after I download them, if it is possible to download them to the flash drive.

Multitab handler extension in FF17 does not save multiple tabs. It is possible to select them, even to click on "save selected tabs as files" but then... nothing happens.

Both the New Tab button and the "+" were working fine until this morning. Since this afternoon, however, they both stopped working. I click on both of them and nothing happens. I am unable to open a new tab. I am forced to open several browsers in order to work with different windows. I followed the suggestion of another user and checked the add-ons, and nothing happened. I do not have ASK bar, so that is out also. Can you help? I ran out of resources. Thanks!

There is no "Tabs on Top" option.

Tab Mix Plus will move it to bottom of view-port, but not below address bar at top of view-port.

Extremely awkward; makes navigation difficult and harder to locate tabs, being more distant from view-port.

A website I visited recently required that I upgrade to the latest version of Silverlight. I did this, and Firefox said it needed to be restarted. When I restarted Firefox, even though it asked me to save my tabs on that initial restart, my tabs weren't saved. Now, whenever I close Firefox, the warning that I'm about to close x number of tabs pops up, and there is no option to save my tabs. Clearly upgrading Silverlight was the cause of this error, but how do I re-enable the option to save tabs?
