Firefox refusing to open new tabs

DarkShadow · 14 Feb 2006 at 20:32

On any forums I visit, when I try to right click and "Open link in new tab" It just refuses to work.

Yes, I'v checked all options and re-installed tabbrowser prefferances, but still no luck

Can anyone please help me?

when you removed firefox did you also remove the folder it left behind.

Prob worth doing a reboot in between.

Failing that, install avant i think its a better browser, i switched from firefox

You might find some keyboard shortcuts less clumsy than right-click options.
In particular, Ctrl + left-click opens a link in a new tab.
I also use Ctrl + '+' to enlarge font, Ctrl + 0 to set font normal, Ctrl + '-' to reduce font.

Nevermind, seem a fresh install of backup and extentions sorted it.

Thanks anyways

Or just push down on the mousewheel

So handy.
