I can't click on the tabs on my desktop firefox, firefox 30, how do you fix this?
I have reset and still get this issue, I would go and click on open new tab and then I would see the tab on the toolbar. I would go and try to open the tab by clicking on it and it would not work. How do you fix this? I know about shortcuts but its irritating and I share the computer and the shortcuts is slowing productivity. Thank you in advance.

jscher2000 I had to look for a "Community Toolbar" or tab enhancer, and after some looking in my add on (and deleting outdated plugins in failure to correct the problem) I found the right "Community Toolbar" and after a disable and restart of firefox it worked. Thank you!

The mouse does not activate a tab, but a keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+2 to activate the second tab on the bar, does work?
The Reset was a good thing to try. But some add-ons may reinstall after a Reset so those are worth reviewing again.
Users have reported some new tab dysfunction is associated with Conduit add-ons, such as a Conduit plugin and/or a "Community Toolbar" extension.
You can check for and disable extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Windows: Ctrl+Shift+a , Mac: Command+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that help with the "+" button? If so, could you name the specific extension that caused the problem?
You might also check the Plugins section of the Add-ons page. You can use "Never Activate" to disable plugins that you don't ordinarily use.
Does that help at all?

Do you have the Firefox window maximized?
If you have the try a smaller (not maximized) window to see if that works.
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
