Lost tabbed browsing

Jun 14, 2005 7:52AM PDT

Using Mandrake 10.2(Mandriva?) with the Firefox 1.0 that came with it. Everything working fine. Updated to Firefox 1.0.4 because of claims of better security, etc. Promptly
lost tabbed browing. When I click on "new tab" as usual,
Firefox closes. Haven't found mention on the web, or in forums I've checked. Anyone run across this? Don't really want to go back to v.1.0, but I'm very fond of tabs now. chuck

Firefox 1.0.4

Hi Chuckieu

I am running Firefox 1.0.4 on Suse 9.3 with no problems with tabs or otherwise

In Windows when I upgraded to Firefox 1.04 I had to uninstall the profile folder. Firefoxs answer was that to many upgrades will clutter and maybe corrupt the profile folder.

This suggestion and reinstall of Firefox 1.04 corrected the problems.
