I have Firefox 3.6. Firefox will no longer allow me to open additional tabs within the same window.
I've tried opening up Firefox in safe mode and restoring its original settings. This works for about 5 minutes and then it stops again. I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Neither clicking on the open tab nor going to "file" and clicking "New Tab" works. I've also tried rebooting after each fix and that didn't resolve the problem either. I do not want to switch to 4.0 because its not compatible with Norton's.

Uninstall 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.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
- Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
- Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
Worked like a charm.. Thank you.
