Can not make a new tab

Firefox

I have been a FireFox user for years. I know how to open a new tab. File -> New Tab does not open a new tab. Clicking the plus sign on the right end of the existing tab does not open a new tab. I'm running FireFox 3.6.15 under Windows 7. Is there a bug in the latest FireFox upgrade?

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.

The Ask ToolBar has never been displayed, but I uninstalled it anyway. Problem solved!

Thanks.
