Hello,
I have the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and recently I can no longer open new tabs, whether by clicking or by pressing Ctrl+t, nothing happens. However, I can still open links in new tabs by clicking on them. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, as well as disabled my add-ons one by one to see if the problem came from there, but nothing has changed.
Do you have any ideas about where the problem could be coming from?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
Configuration: Windows / Firefox 43.0
