I think you are not waiting for the element to appear,you can try using Explicit Wait...

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver,60);
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.cssSelector("selector_of_element")));

Note : 'cssSelector' can be replaced with xpath,id,name,className..etc as per your convinience.

OR

If there are more than one element with the same selector or xpath,you can try the combination of Implicit Wait and findElements...

driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(30, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
List <WebElement> elements = driver.findElements(By.xpath("(//div[@class='tab-btns']/ul/li)["+2+"]"));
