Clicking on + for a new tab gives an error message.

After the update to Firefox 32 yesterday, any time I click on + to open a new tab, I get an error message: XML parsing error: the undefined entity
Location: on: newtab
Number 116, line 47 column:...

Why?

I can enter a URL or a research topic, and everything works as it should.

Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    click Help

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  • When I click on + for a new tab, 9 pages appear on the screen, how can I get rid of this?

    When I run Firefox, it opens normally, but when I click on + for a new page, the new page has 9 small windows on the screen. I searched for help and tried to delete the history. Now the 9 pages are still there but empty.

    This is a new feature. It is expected that when you open a new page rather than it is empty it has miniature pictures that you can use as links to open the pages that you use frequently. The content of the page can be customized.

    It is easy to turn the feature on or off, click on the small grid gray icon top right.

    More permanently, the feature can be disabled if you prefer. Also note if you use the private browsing mode pages can read is not put in a new tab as a thumbnail.

  • CTRL-left click goes to the new tab

    I don't know what happened but I have not changed the settings and now my Firefox guard opening new tabs and pass to them even if "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked in the settings and the browser.tabs.loadInBackground and services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground are set to true in the subject: config. I also tried the extension "Switch to tab no more" and it does not work. I have no idea what caused my browser to act this way, but it's pretty frustrating.

    It depends on whether the link is designed to stay in the same tab or open a new window. Firefox has a distinct preference for each, and only the 'same tab' is on the Options page.

    This gives a test:

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

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

    (3) double click on the preference of browser.tabs.load InBackground ofdiversion for the value by default false true - line should turn "BOLD"

    Who help me?

    Since there are a number of similar sounding preferences, here is my understanding when they apply:

    • browser.tabs.loadInBackground = > when you open a regular link in a new tab using Ctrl + click (or right click > open in a new tab)

      • default = true, do not have the new active tab
      • In the page Options dialog box, this is controlled by him "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" setting.
    • Browser.Tabs.Load InBackground ofdiversion = > when divert you a new window generated by script in a new tab using Ctrl + click, or a page using the link target attribute in a new launcher and divert you a new tab

      • default = false, activate the new tab
    • Browser.Tabs.LoadFavoritesInBackground = > when you load a bookmark in a new tab using Ctrl + click (or right click > open in a new tab)

      • default = false, activate the new tab
  • Cannot open google automatically when you click on the button new tab since the last update of Firefox.

    I was able to do so until the last update... I spent through the process several times since, but without success... including adding the complete URL, etc.. The only suggestion so far is that 1 of my modules could be the cause, but I have still the same as before (they are edge Adblock, S3. Google Translator and yet another Smooth Scrolling)... it's frustrating!... and I'd love some help please... Thank you.

    Hi, for reasons of security, 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 change the default zoom for the new tab only?

    The new tab in Firefox 33 zoom is too high to see all 12 of my thumb nail. I changed it using ctrl - but the next time I opened a new tab, the zoom is 100%. How can I change the default zoom for the new tab only?

    I posted a style rule to shrink the tiles, which allows several of them on the page, but naturally reduces their legibility. You can experiment with the dimensions to find a look that works for you.

    https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails

    I use the Stylish extension to experiment because of its preview function that allows me to see the effect quickly. You can install it from the site of modules, then after restart of Firefox while searching for his "S" icon in the toolbar to manage Styles so you can edit and experiment.

    I turned off so the images are not cached for the new tab Page history and be reloaded Firefox is restarted. In addition, some of the sites I've pinned use HTTPS and do not allow their images to be cached.

    Is it possible for me to put a custom image for each pinned site? A custom screenshot that is not in the cache or an icon to be any? Anything would be better than a box empty here.

    Thank you

    You can use the following extension to customize the image displayed for the tiles pinned, among other things.

  • I used a password reset disk to access the Password Wizard, whenever I have propose a new password, it gives the error message

    I used a password reset disk to access the Password Wizard, whenever I have propose a new password, it gives the error message "" an error occurred while the wizard attempted to set the password for this user account". I can't pass this screen and am virtually blocked the computer phone iam trying to access. What can I do? It comes to Windowns 7 Home Premium

    This probably means that your password disk drive is not up-to-date. Here are the other options built into Windows to help you get out of this situation:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
