AutoFill URL quit & blank tabs

I was using Safari yesterday and had a weird thing to during use.

AutoFill URLS suddenly stop working for no apparent reason. Also the tabs I did after that the problem began, the tabs were empty, i.e. no title in them as would normally occur.

Quit Safari and the problem disappeared. Have not had any problems since.

Anyone know of a probable cause, and if it is a sign of a larger problem? Or just a blip?

Thank you.

Mac OS X Safari 9.1 10.11.4,.

I hope just a quirk but if it happens again try Safari extensions and third-party plug-ins for troubleshooting.

In the Safari menu, click Safari > Preferences , and then select the Extensions tab uninstall an extension at the same time to exit then restart Safari to test.

If it is not a question of extensions, try troubleshooting third-party plug-ins.

Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the tab Security Deselect: plug-ins Allow. Quit and restart Safari to test.

If it makes a difference, the instructions of troubleshooting plugins here.

    You may need to try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if an add-on is causing the problem; See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode

    • In Firefox 4, to enter Safe Mode, hold the SHIFT key while clicking on the icon of the desktop Firefox 4.
    • Firefox Safe mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, place you in the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > Themes before start Safe Mode. When you enter Safe Mode, do not check all the items in the window, just click "continue mode without failure." A test to see if the problem you are experiencing is fixed.
    • If the problem does not occur in mode without failure, then disable all your Extensions and Plug-ins, and then try to find out who is causing by allowing both the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via file > restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use 'Disable all add-ons' on the start safe mode window.

  • When I open a blank tab, it goes to a strange Web page. How to open like something useful?

    When I open FireFox, in a first time, it opens a tab in my homepage, as it should. But, when I open a new, blank tab he goes on some website. I can't find options to tell what to do with a blank tab in the current version of FireFox, and I'm sure I've seen this option in older versions. I would like to be the tab to be totally blank or having thumbnails of recent/frequent pages I visit.

    You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.

    • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
    • the default homepage is Subject: Home
    • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

    The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

    If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:

  • Cannot get new url of the tab open with the homepage (Google).

    After the upgrade, I cannot get rid of 12 boxes (Facebook, Youtube, etc.) on the new tab or make open with my homepage (Google). I tried two different newtaburl add-on, uninstall and reinstall Firefox and the directives of the object: subject: config, browser.newtab.url, etc. I can't even scratch try this approach. I can't get the 12 bar blues.

    Well, I know I'm repeating something you've read before, but just for completeness (and also, I suspect this isn't built-in Firefox page):

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

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

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

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

    In the left column, click on Extensions

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    A little luck?

  • I put tabs to open a blank tab, but each new tab has now google search images on it.

    I did not choose as a google search engine - I won't be using google. I have tabs set to open a blank tab each time. I want a blank tab without the google search bar.

    This is related to the behavior of tab instead of search engine.
    Follow these steps, and you will not see Google as again search engine.

    1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press ENTER.

    (Topic: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.) Click on that I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page. )

    1. Type browser.newtab.url in the search box.
    2. Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and change the url to Subject: House to on: vacuum. Alternatively, you can change it to Subject: newtab for Firefox to new home page tabs.
    3. Click OK, and then close topic: configuration tab.

    I hope this helps.

  • When I open a new tab, I get a search result 'AVG '. I already made the topic: config reset but it still doesn't work. How can I get a blank tab open?

    When I open a new tab, it always comes to the top:

    I already made the topic: config reset and it does not have the new blank tab or go to a specific URL I type in address. What can I do to get a new empty tab? Thank you.

    Change the browser.newtab.url preference, or it is ignored?

    If it changes after you exit and then restart Firefox, look for a user.js file, as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.

    If it is ignored, are looking for an extension that is unwanted in the Add-ons page:

    CTRL + SHIFT + a button orange Firefox (or tools) > Add-ons

    On the left side, click Extensions, and then disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

  • How is it that everytime I open Firefox, I get my home page more another blank tab?

    After you install a new motherboard on my Dell, everytime I open Firefox, I get my home page more another blank tab. Never happened before. Help!

    This problem may be caused by the MySearchDial extension.

    You can also check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

    The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
    You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

    The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Since the Firefox 26.0 update, whenever I start Firefox, it opens to a blank tab instead of my home page.

    My Firefox preferences are on:
    When Firefox starts: show my homepage
    Homepage: http://www.foxnews.com/

    If I change my home page, Firefox however opens to a blank tab.

    I think I solved my problem.
    As I said earlier, I started 25.0.1 and everything was fine.
    This morning, I decided to start from scratch.
    I deleted Firefox and all my computer files.
    Using an application called EasyFind I find all files related to Firefox on my hard drive and deleted. This includes all profiles and preferences.
    Then, I downloaded Firefox 26.0 and installed.
    So far, the problem still happened.
    All right.
    Thanks to everyone who has helped me and Happy New Year!

  • Firefox on Ubuntu Linux does not open the PFD files (blank tab opens)

    Firefox running on Linux (Ubuntu 13.04).
    When I click on any file (or attachment) which is in PDF format, Firefox opens a blank tab and display content.
    I saw a similar question for Apple computers, but it does not work under Linux and neither does Windows patches. It only started with the last udate to Firefox.
    Unfortunately, like most people, I did the stupid thing and update, then went nuts loading of modules so it could be an add-on and not only the update.
    The same problem occurs on thre PC (AMD and Intel) - one on the Mint and the rest on Ubuntu

    That's all,

    We are pleased to see that you solved it yourself.

  • How do you prevent FF 23.0.1 to show a blank tab when I start FF

    Up to 22.0 version I was able to avoid a blank tab when I started FF (blank page), because I've upgraded 23.0.1 I now can not do this. If this can be done more so where can I get a copy of 22.0. its either that or move to Chrome, too many things that were not broken have been fixed, like private browsing. I now regret the upgrade so I'll change if there is no solution. I used to download and keep every version, but got fed up with her because of the rapid changes and now regret not doing.

    See:

  • I can't open a blank tab. All started to do this. Why?

    Suddenly my browser, I cannot open a blank tab. If I'm going to help or something like that, a new tab opens, however, by clicking on 'Open a new tab' does absolutely nothing. I did nothing special because from what I can tell.

    Please upgrade to the latest version of Firefox 16.0.x.

  • Whenever I get close a tab that a new blank tab opens on its own.

    Hello
    I use Firefox 6.0.2, and it is a moment that I am facing this problem. Whenever I click on the little X to close the tab (sometimes I have to click 2 - 3 times) it closes the tab, but a new empty tab opens. For example when I start with 1 tablet, open 3 tabs on this page, so I have 4, I want to go to another site and close my first site. Then, Firefox gives me new site + 4 blank tabs that cannot be closed.

    When I open Firefox this works well, but after 10-15 minutes or I don't know maybe 1 hour or if this problem appears.

    I have not installed any new plugin or extension (maybe update my plugins) existing.

    It is not a virus, malware or anything. I use Avast home edition (free) and it is updated several times daily. I also scanned my system with tdsskiller (read on a forum that solves the problem, but it does not).
    I use firefox for years, but this problem only happens from a week ago.

    you have toolbars or extensions installed in Control Panel > software or in firefox addons - manager > extensions, which could cause this behavior? try launching firefox to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode (close all other instances of firefox and open the browser while holding down the SHIFT key) and see if the problem is persisiting here to diagnose the problem...

    Edit: you also have the plugin "Fun Web products Plugin Stub for Windows 32-bit" installed, which comes bundled with some toolbars

    the details of the system, you have presented it seems you are using an outdated version of firefox and an updated version of the java plugin - both are a serious security problem! There were dozens of corrected vulnerabilities since the release of firefox 6. and java before 6 update 31 versions are vulnerable to the infections drive (your computer may be infected with malicious software simply by visiting a Web site), which are widely exploited in the wild.

    I would recommend that you update both programs as soon as possible: visit getfirefox.com &, java.com. and even if you already have a working virus protection software, I would say that you run another scan complete your system with the free anti-malware www.malwarebytes.org tool in addition (tdsskiller was just a rootkit scanner).
