Suddenly (after MS update) Firefox will not open pages in a new Tab
After a recent update from MIcrosoft (presuming this is the cause) I am unable to open pages in a new Tab. This is serious as for instance secure pages (banks etc) open in a new window. Just now I need to access my bank but cannot as the opening page will not hold .. it briefly opens then closes.
I've been trying for about a week to remedy this but now it's becoming urgent. Anyone have any idea of how to fix this?
ps I have Adobe Flash installed on this laptop (see attachment).

Hi, please try : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files , C:\Program Files(x86) & C:\ProgramData Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Hello Pkshadow,
I didn't really understand the detail of your 2nd reply above however undertook the uninstall and fresh download/intall and that seems to have done the trick.
Not sure how to 'pin' disk cleanup but that's ok ... manually do that as a maintenance procedure.
Thanks v. much for your imput. I'm keeping the 2nd response and will study that over time.
