  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problem.

  See "create a profile":

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

  Try a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

• Back to new tab page after clicking on a link

  In 14 of Firefox (Beta), after the discovery of new tools tab, I decided to ditch Speed Dial and use the default new tab page. Miss nothing.

  Yesterday, I upgraded to the beta version of FF15, and now when I click on a link on the new tab page I can't come back. I need to open a new tab to go back to it, instead of being able to view a page, go back and read another page. I tried to look at the subject: config to see anything that might resemble distance as an option to keep the new tab page in the history backwards, but I found nothing. A way to solve this problem?

  I also checked on Firefox UX and it like this 'feature'. This is not a problem of Add-ons, but rather a regression in Firefox.

  >. >

  Is there any line in everything: config, or in any way I can change a file in the Firefox application? It should really be a subject: line config, I thought Firefox was given a choice for all.

  -EDIT-
  Just found a way to remove the background with UserChrome.css. Problem solved!

• Firefox recently started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

  When I use Google and I click on a search result, it opens a new tab, where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using, I searched on the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose to open in a new window, but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. It started to arrive from nowhere.

  Found a setting in Google that said to open all the result in a new window that I guessed that Firefox has been the substitution and open it in a new tab as suggested settings unchecked the box in Google and now the behaviour is back to normal.

• When firefox opens as a new tab opens with a video download program how can I stop this

  When I opened ffox what it also opens a new tab on if I want to download a video software... How can I remove this.
  Thank you

  Sorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:

  • CTRL + n (start a new window)
  • Click on the Home icon in the toolbar

  If Yes:

  You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.

  If not:

  Sometimes problems occur only at startup.

  • If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
  • If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.

• When I do a search in google and get several sites I want all of them to open in a new tab when I click.

  -J' have the add-on open all bookmarks in a new tab.

  -It worked before I installed the module TMP (Tab Mix Plus) and it opened in a new page with TMP installed too. I have now deleted the Add on TMP due to a decline in big performance on this module. TMP is a Devourer of cpu and memory.

  -bookmarklet lendle has this code under bookmark properties

  -J' checked my answer on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1060711configuration settings. My config is:

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/1060711

  He has this pref to override the behavior to open a link in an external application.

     browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
  

  If this pref is the default-1 browser.link.open_newwindow is used.

  The meaning of the value of the browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external is the same from browser.link.open_newwindow

     1:current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
  

     http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
  

  Those setting means that you redirect window.open() all calls to the current tab.

  If you have changed the settings in the options to search for Google (http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en) links should open in a new tab if you click on them. You can always Middle-click on a link to open the link in a new tab.

• How can I get the default for the new tab page when there is no improved/classic/empty choises when I click on the gear icon.

  When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?

  To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to about:config in Firefox
  2. Locate the browser.newtab.url string
  3. Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab

  This should change the new tab page.

  Notes:

  • Set the about:newtab to get the page of the new classic tab
  • Set the about:home to get the default home page
  • Set the about:blank to get the blank page

• When I click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab

  I just got a Macbook Pro and installed Firefox. On a PC, whenever I clicked on a bookmark, it opened in a new tab. The same settings do not work on a Mac. The bookmark opens in the same tab, I was sure. Help please

  Hello

  My understanding is that the default action for the left by clicking on a bookmark should open in the current tab. If you want to open in a new tab, the Middle click button is usually the way to do it.

  You can also install the following extensions that will force all bookmarks to open in a new tab:

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/

  Or this extension which will provide further options for tabs (including you):

• The new tab page was going well for MONTHS, had an image I have uploaded. Today, I had a 'safe' mode what to be, and my image disappeared. How do I restore, so my image rises?

  I had set up my new tab page with an image I have uploaded. It worked fine for months, or even years.

  Today, I had a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in "safe" mode or "restore". I chose "restore."

  On this, my image disappeared from my the new tab page. I can't find how to restore and Add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not useful. At least, I can't understand them.

  Can provide you assistance on a computer for Dummies level?

  If you deleted the folder "Old data Firefox" you have not the ability to restore your previous profile data.

  If it's an image you have stored on your computer, you can open this image in a Firefox tab (Firefox > new tab > open a file).
  
  This will give you the file:// URL in the address bar and you can use a copy and paste this file is enabled in the new tab page.

  You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set the value of this pref on this URL for you the new tab page.

  You can open the topic: config page via the bar addresses as you open a web page.

• How to make only ONE tab open every time I start Firefox - still, my screen jumps to the new tab page, although I tried to turn it off?

  I recently had internet service for the first time in two years. Over the two years, I took my desktop computer 4 times for a friend and got the updates that were available for AVG, HP, Windows XP, Adobe, Java, Open Office. As soon as I have internet at my house a few weeks ago, I started to update everything. My computer (HP Pavilion, Pentium 4 of 2006 - old, I know) now seems to work very well, but it's very annoying that everytime I open Firefox, I get a new tab page I ask, in addition to my homepage of Mozilla. Even more annoying is that my computer automatically to this page of the new tab. I tried to disable the new tab page by following the instructions given through the Mozilla 'Getting Started' page, rebooted the computer, and nothing has changed. Please advise!
