Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Removing the Ask toolbar did not fix the problem for me.

I am running Windows 7 and received an update on 5/2/2012 at around 8PM and spent close to an hour try to get Firefox to work like it did before this latest update.

I click on new tab and get a new window instead.

Any other ideas? I hate IE, Chrome, and Safari, but I'm being forced to use one of them to work online. I need tabs!

Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox 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).
