You may possibly be interested in Tab Mix Plus (TMP), an extension that
complements the base tab options.
Download from

author's TMP home page <URL:http://tmp.garyr.net/> for an overview.

Which FF version and on which operating system? Any extensions
installed, what happens if you start is safe mode?

What happens when you select File | New Tab ?

What do you mean by "enable tab browsing". It's not something that can
be 'disabled' per se.
You can Ctrl+Click on a link/bookmark/etc., and it will open in a new
tab. You can Ctrl+N to open a new tab. There are many more clicking and
dragging methods involving opening and closing of tabs. Is there a
certain function you are looking for?

Under what conditions, Chris? When I tried ^N a new *new* window
opened; but ^Click created a new tab. :-\ Is that a function of Tab Mix
Plus or something else?

On my setup ctrl+n opens a new window, ctrl+t opens a new tab. I /think/
this is the default regardless of your OS.

In Windows, open the Options menu (in Linux, open the Edit menu)
and select preferences. Select the Tabs tab and UNCHECK 'Hide
the tab bar when only one web site is open'. That will ensure
that the tab bar is always visible, even when only one web page
is loaded.

Alternatively, press Ctrl+t on the keyboard to open a new tab
with the default page (either the home page or a blank page)
loaded. You can also middle-click or Ctrl+click on links to open
them in new tabs, and you can select New Tab from the File menu
as well. Typing an address into the address bar and pressing
Ctrl+Enter opens the URL in a new tab.

My apologies. That should be Ctrl+T.
