Firefox 23.0.1, update is no longer automatically highlights the contents of address bar when I open a new tab.
The foregoing. When I opened a new tab in the past, before the new update, firefox would automatically highlight the text in the address bar, and I couldn't just start typing here the address of the site that I wanted to. I could quickly get anywhere I want in less than a second. Now, I need to drag, and then click on in the bar every time to address. I installed an add-on called "custom newtab", but it slows down just me lower due to a lag between opening a new tab and the add-on kick and highlighting the contents of address bar.
What is happening is this:
Click "new tab".
New tab opens blank, and the text appears highlighted "google.co.uk" for about a quarter second.
Loading the Google page and highlight the text becomes not for another second quarter.
The module comes in and highlights the text "google.co.uk" Meanwhile I have already started typing and end up losing the first part of words, sending me random web pages and research.
Why this change? Difficulty please!
Hi ChrisYeomans, a change has been noted in other threads on google.co.uk
The http URL now automatically redirects to https. Since you did not specify the Protocol in your newtab.url setting, Firefox attempts http and it is immediately redirected to the https domain. You should be able to see this happen unless your computer is much faster than mine.
Firefox does not handle this redirect elegantly - the URL in the address bar is not enabled unless you click a different tab, and then click back.
To work around the problem, update your newtab.url to the URL https://www.google.co.uk/ full

When you open a new tab, why firefox suggests my recent history when I checked ever "broadcast history" on the settings?
If you have visited sites in no Private Browsing mode then there still may be the thumbnails of the pages in the cache.
Only pages that you visit in PB mode should not show on the subject: newtab page.Empty the cache must do the thumbnails disappear on refresh.

When I open a new tab, I no longer get a blank page. Instead, this link opens automatically.
Search.conduit.com/?CTID=CT3319766 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = & Lay = 1 & UM = 2 & UP = SPBE0988F4-A2BC-4595-B005-51E70B9E0B94
I have nothing to make this change and I do not recognize. I fear that my computer may have a virus, so I will do a scan.
How can I remove the link above and stop appearing when I open a new tab? I want just a blank page.I've seen a shield of unknown virus type icon in my system tray, so I toss it and he said 'Protect research.' I didn't install myself, I install a program must have given me a virus. Research Protect is made by Conduit. I uninstalled search shelter in my control panel and delete the search folder protect program (x 86). Open Firefox and open a new tab.
Research conducted is not more.
I didn't know it was a virus all this time. Thank you for your comments, everyone! I think I took care of him.

Where is the gear when I open a new tab in Firefox 42?
I try to have faces of color illustrated when I open a new tab in Firefox 42. The instructions say click on the gear wheel at the top right of the page to the new tab in order to activate the function of tiles. It is not a gear when I open a new tab.
What page is the new tab override set the new tab page?
If you want to use the subject: newtab page with the tiles and the gear, you don't need this extension.
The extension new tab replace is only necessary if you want a different home page, and such a page does not include this gear.See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

When I opened a new tab, the cursor is automatically in the field of navigation, because I reinstalled Firefox yesterday. Is there a solution?
I solved.
I installed mutorrent, which in turn installed 'Safe Protect' of 'Intermediary' that messed up my Internet browser settings.
I uninstalled it and everything turned back to normal, when I opened a new tab, the cursor is automatically in the address bar (ie. it is highlighted).
Thanks for your time.

I've done everything I can find in the support section, and every time I open a new tab, I get searchnu. Whenever I use the search url bar, it uses searchnu. I have the google search bar, but it does not work. I einto gon subject: config I don't know how many times and changed the url for keyword and when I start firefox again, it changes again in searchnu. There is nowhere in my control panel and it is not in my modules or extensions. It is also appear in my browser.startup.homepage it keeps on rebooting and I'm about to uninstall firefox altogether.
I am also a victim of a searchnu. It takes somehow my IE homepage, but I even have not yet installed anything last month. Fortunately I get rid of this nasty browser pirate using a tutorial of removing of searchnu:http://www.virus-delete.com/en/guides/browser-hijacker-removal/how-to-remove-searchnucom-through-isafe-virus-removal-tool.html
So I would like to share here in order to see if it helps ^ ^But I still can't understand what that how you houses delta virus appear on my laptop even I didn't install anything before?

In the old version of Firefox, when I opened a new tab, firefox remember and displays previous tabs open when I click on the + to the new tab. This display last has shown several places I visited and I could automatically click it to bring up this last point of view. In this function, I could go to one of my last 6 views quite easily and make it appear one of them as a shortcut.

When you open a new tab Firefox remains on the old tab and does not switch to the new. I could not fing where correct this (in tools)
Ah, I see. As far as I know, this behavior is not subject to a preference of the user. My best guess is that an extension or plugin interferes. To test this theory, you can try to use mode without failure of Firefox:

So Firefox is my start page, it's OK. But if I open a new tab Bing rises when I want Firefox (Cuase it swag ' don't stuff) how should I do?
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to your preferred the new tab page.
- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

You did it ensure that you have the visible Navigation toolbar?
If the menu bar is hidden, then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the call of menu bar.
Make sure the toolbars like the toolbar 'Navigation' and the 'personal bar' are visible: "view > toolbars".See also:
