IE7 tabbed browsing question -- tabbed browsing has disapp..

When I installed IE7 the tabbed browsing feature worked. Now, after a few
days, tabbed browsing has stopped working.

I have tried Tools>Internet Options>General>Tabbed Browsing Settings>Enable
Tabbed Browsing -- it is enabled.

I have tried right-clicking on a favorite -- the only option that appears is
Open, no option for Open in New Tab.

Appears that the tabbed browsing feature has completely disappeared.

Any suggestions?

I read on several sites that tabbed browsing will not work with certain
add-ons -- specifically, there appear to be problems with tabbed browsing
not working with the Google toolbar added. I removed the Google toolbar and
rebooted -- still no change.

HOWEVER -- I can open tabbed browsing if I click on the tiny blank tab that
is to the right of the tab I am viewing -- that allows me to use tabbed
browsing. Still, tabbed browsing does not work with (1) right-click on a
favorite (that shows only Open, not Open in Tabbed Window) or (2) CTRL while
clicking on a favorite.
