• 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 you

  Changing 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:

  1. Type of about:config in the location bar of Firefox and press enter
  2. Click accept in the page to enter configurations
  3. Locate the [email protected] string or search for it in the search bar on this page
  4. Double-click the string to change the value
  5. Enter the URL of the Web site that you want to use as a new tab in the dialog box that appears
  6. 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 or about: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.

• I want a new tab to open as my homepage not several pages

  I want a new tab to open with my google homepage and not several pages that are of no interest to me. It seems if you switch the off option only get you a blank page. If you use add functionality that it doesn't now. This 'upgrade' is a nuisance.

  Home page in a new tab
  
  There are several ways suggested to do, but the easier for many users has been this add-on-> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab

  If you are referring to the research in the Add-ons Manager (Firefox button > Modules or Tools > Modules) this problem seems to have corrected yesterday afternoon. If you are referring to something else, you will need to give more detail on what you're trying to do, the steps your are taking, what are the results of your actions, and what you expect as results.

• How can I get FireFox to work on the first Google ChromeBook addition? He repeats to me upgrade and when I do it says does not support?

  How can I get FireFox to work on the first version of the Google ChromeBook? Everytime I open it it said to update or upgrade to FireFox and make it your main page. So I downloaded it and it's open once it is installed, but then a message appears that says "can't stand" search for an application that supports FireFox and its software, or something of the sort. I was sitting here with a full battery when I started and now it is dead... and I still don't have FireFox on my ChromeBook.

  What do I do now or how do I get it to work? And if it just simply won't work on a CHromeBook then they need to have that riht out in the open.
  

  Hello

  I had a peek in this and was informed that Firefox does not work on Chrome OS.

  It is designed and done a little differently from the likes of Windows and Linux and will not support another browser being installed.

• How can I get rid two tabs to open when I first open Firefox?

  When I first open Firefox I get my home page in a tab, but also another tab opens. This one is set to Facebook. How can I get rid of the opening automatically second tab?

  You get two pages if you launch a new window using either:

  • CTRL + n
  • button '3-bar' menu > new window

  If Yes:

  Check the settings of your home page to see if you have several home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows you where to check them in the Options dialog box: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings. This article has more background on several tabs home: How to set the home page.

  If not, or if the Options dialog box is correct:

  Add-ons - can display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, this is the URL to normal Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/) or to a different address?

  Do you have any extensions related to Facebook? You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:

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

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

  Often, 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?
