• Search bar and address bar does not work when a new tab is opened

  When a new tab is opened, or the search address bar or research on the work of the page. All in all, nothing happens when you click search or click the arrow.

  Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

  Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

• Is there an option that allows me to display my Home Page when a new tab is opened?

  Tabbed browsing is great, but when you open a new tab it just opens a blank page. So I have to enter a URL or to perform certain actions to go where I want to go, which is my home page. There is an option to 'Show my home page' when Firefox starts, but I don't see a similar choice when starting new tabs. Anyone know if there is such a thing?

  Choose 1 of these add-ons:

  Module NewTabURL

  New homepage tab add-on

  with newtaburl you have more options

  Thank you

  Thanks for the reply jscher2000.
  After posting the question, I uninstalled Firefox and then download new and installed. Still the problem remained.
  After about 2 hours I still once uninstalled, downloaded again and installed.
  This time it worked perfectly as before.
  So, now I don't have the problem.

• Want to change my screen external external screen to the mirrored display option.

  I'm trying to connect my Acer laptop to my Sony with HDMI TV.  When I plugged the the area of the external screen HDMI cable appeared offering me 3 choices; display mirroring, extended or external only.  I took an external display only.  However, instead of showing the screen of the laptop to the TV, two screens were black. The signal wasn't going to the TV. So I thought I could at least change external display only to in reverse, so if nothing shows up on the TV, then at least the screen will become not empty for the laptop. But now when I connected the HDMI cable to the laptop monitor and the TV are empty, so I can't change the settings. I can't return the new display detected, where I could change the setting. When I unplug the HDMI cable to get my rear monitor, the external screen does not give me the 3 options because there is no HDMI cable.  How do I get external display to change the only mirrored external display option?

  How can I disable the newtab most used feature display sites. I want the new tab to open the page displayed in the newtab:url in the topic: function config

  41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

  Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

  Setting up substitute again tab

  After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

  Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

  Success?

  Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).
