everytime I open a new tab, there are avg safe search
Hey guys, so, recently, I opened firefox, open a new tab to display all my nail of the thumb, and instead, I just see AVG safe search. I hate it. I've tried everything. I tried to restart firefox, I deleted and uninstalled everything related to distance of AVG and I have no extensions of AVG, I deleted the AVG toolbar but safe search is still there! Help, please! I really want these vignettes of return! By the way, I have windows 8.1
Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.
Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 26: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.
- Do NOT remove the data personal when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because all profile files will be deleted and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords from other versions of Firefox profiles.
Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
- (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
- It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but make sure that 'delete personal data' is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep problems also create a new profile.

How can I keep search Babalon from appearing everytime I open a new tab?
I used to have the problem that whenever I open Firefox, my homepage, motor of research and new tabs were all Babalon search. I managed to get rid of the search engine, and I think I've fixed to the homepage, but everytime I open a new tab need me always in search of Babalon. I removed all the AddOns that are associated with Babalon, I have also removed/uninstalled programs Babalon. I even tried simply to block the Web site, but that doesn't seem to work. All suggestions are welcome! Thank you!

I uninstalled Snap.do but not completely erase my whole history, nothing has worked so far. Whenever I open a new tab in Firefox, Snap.do is like the search bar. What a pain!
If you don't like to reset, follow these steps: go in firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search

somewhere on the update, I got a yahoo toolbar, I did not like. Tasks was to bring up a search box and yahoo news, when you open a new tab each time. I was not able to uninstall it or turn it off, no idea where to start. When you open the new tab, it starts to 'click,w3i.com'and then "search.yahoo.com" and has some research trends and the latest news, my network is slow with waiting for all these things happen. No idea how to eliminate it or turn it off. It is not listed in the toolbars or options or modules or plugins or anything. Here are the two links of that tab through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.
A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).
If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

for several years, after uninstalling and reinstalling, I can not open a new tab without a double full being created with the same open tabs. Example of... I have a window with four tabs open. In my sandbox, I have 4 windows, all with the same 4 tabs. uugh!
Could you check to see if you have a given box checked in the Options dialog box:
"3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs
If "Show glimpses of tab in the Windows task bar" is turned on, instead of having an entry by the window, you get one entry per tab, uncheck the box to turn off.

Every time I open a new tab, I want Firefox to go to the homepage of Google http://www.google.com/. Now when I open a new tab, the tab is empty. Therefore, I have to click on the Home icon on the upper right corner - the icon with the little house. How do you make firefox go to the homepage of Google every time an open a new tab?
Install this module, then in the options of the module, set the page you want to open in each new tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
- Set options for an extension: Modules > Extensions, click Options next to the extension.
If this answer solved your problem, please click 'Solved It' next to this response when connected to the forum.
Not related to your question, but...
You must update some plug-ins:

- Adobe PDF plugin for Firefox and Netscape: Installation/update Adobe Reader in Firefox
- Shockwave Flash (Adobe Flash or Flash): updated Flash in Firefox

When I open a new tab, it automatically changes to "http://www.bigseekpro.com/search/dns/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}? q =bigseekpro.com/anyvideo2dvd/{F8DC2913-2606-401B-8AED-0345AD711130}? s_src = newta.
This started after I installed a software recently. I uninstalled this software now. I even put the page as "empty". Also, click on the button "restore default".
But the problem persists.(it is not happen when I open firefox, only happens when I open a new tab, while firefox is already open)
How can I change this back to normal? I need only a blank page to open.
- In the address bar, type Subject: config and press ENTER.
- In the filter at the top, type: keyword. URL
- Double click top and delete everything in it and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=

If your homepage has changed too, follow these steps.
- Go to the site you want to set as your home page. If you want a blank page, type: Subject: empty in the address bar and press ENTER.
- Go to Tools | Options | General .
- Make sure that it says in the first drop 'show my home page'.
