can not put a new tab to open the default google search
I found these instructions:
In case you need more than one step by step:
(1) in a new tab, type or paste about: 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:
Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab Blank tab => about:blank Built-in Firefox home page => about:home Any other page => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked.
However as per the attached screen shot, I do not have a preference "browser.newtab.url"
Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.
Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.
Note, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.
You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

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).

I have my browser set to restore the previous session, when I open Firefox and new tabs to open the vacuum. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and carry the load of my home page, while keeping intact previously mentioned behaviour, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.
Is it possible to restore the previous behavior, or are all the tabs that are now seen as the same now, if they are open within the framework of new or existing windows?

I can't get a new tab to open on an empty page
I installed the new Strawberry override tab he cannot locate. How eo I find it?
Thank youChanging the value of the string that I mentioned in my previous post, will change the page that appears in your new tab. The default value is
about:newtab
, but it can be changed to anything you want.To change the page to the new tab, follow these steps:
- Type of
about:config
in the location bar of Firefox and press enter - Click accept in the page to enter configurations
- Locate the
[email protected]
string or search for it in the search bar on this page - Double-click the string to change the value
- Enter the URL of the Web site that you want to use as a new tab in the dialog box that appears
- Press the ok button
This should change the new tab page that appears when you open a new tab. If the changes do not affect, try restarting Firefox and then check again.
If you want to use one of the pages by default Firefox as a new tab instead of a Web page, you can use
about:newtab
orabout:home
as the URL for the new tab.I hope this has clarified the steps for you. If you need additional information, please let us know.

How to open bookmarks in a new tab without opening the whole folder in new tabs?
I'm used to be able to open a single bookmark in a new tab. Now I can open only all of a folder of bookmarks in tabs with "open all in tabs". The option to open only favorite in a new tab or window is grayed out.
The only way I can understand to open a bookmark without leaving the page that I should find a link to open in a new tab or open a blank tab that is many more steps.
How can I fix the 'novelty' to make it work?You can middle click or hold CTRL and left click a bookmark (and other links) to open the bookmark in a new tab.

Can't get Firefox new tab to open in Google.ca (not Chrome).
I tried all the fixes in the latest discussions, but FF new update 41 refuses to open new tabs in Google.ca. I was about: config and through newtab, adjusted the columns and lines to 1 euro, I have tried everything: home to the URL, as well as the full URL for Google.ca. I'm not using Chrome. No Add-ons, no extensions, no profile.js file, no recent programs added without my knowledge. My new tabs come with Google.ca as a thumbnail, so I have to click on it. It's madness! Google is shooting itself in the foot. Can someone help me fix this, please? Thank you.
Thank you! problem solved!
Sorry for the stupid question. I do not work with addons much.
I appreciate your help.
