• When I open firefox, my home page opens as two other tabs that I have my favorites, but don't ask don't not to save.

  Well enough what it says above. I haven't recorded telling me to reopen these pages, but when I launch Firefox, I have three tabs open automatically:

  (1) home page.
  (2) BBC radio player.
  (3) a message board that I use.

  I can't find a way to stop the loading of these pages.

  You can also check if you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.

  The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
  You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: open with) If you do not create this file yourself.

  The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

• How to make my home page in a new tab in firefox 13

  So they locked the thread relating to this issue, on the fallacious grounds that FF13 has a new new tab interface. But this new interface prevents actually get you your home page in a new tab.
  I have the habit of using the new homepage tab Add on, but who did not work for several versions. So I used then NewTabUrl, but now they have decided to break that.

  I am completely sick of firefox constantly make me re-learn my browser interface every two weeks. I have more important things to do that to spend hours trying to figure out what that some empty 'designer' now think is a really cute way for me to go where I want to go.

  All I want is a new tab to give me the page of my choice, not an algorithm isn't relevant ridiculous imagined in a conference room with too many whiteboards and not enough common sense.

  OK, several hours later:
  Solution 1: do this about: config, find newtab, find the entry for browser.newtab.url, and enter your favorite example Homepage http://www.google.com

  This ensures that you avoid having the tile image, BUT the focus is in the url bar, not in the google search field. Why Firefox do that they are allowed to fly the goal in this way this is beyond me and drives me crazy - what is the probability that the first thing I want to do is to enter a url?

  Solution 2: use a different add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab. It is an option if you want the focus in the url bar or not. I disabled my existing NewTabUrl module, just in case of conflict.

  Now you get your favorite in a new tab homepage, and new tabs have focus in the google search bar.

  But the first homepage when you open firefox, always steals the focus and puts it in the url bar. At the time where I can find no way to stop it - idiots to Firefox know clearly much better that me how can I use my home page. Quite exasperating.

• How can I change the tab settings so that when I manually opened a new tab, my home page opens in it?

  Internet Explorer provides the following options to open a new tab:
  "When a new tab is opened, open:
  -A blank Page
  -The new tab Page
  -Your first homepage.

  On Firefox 3.6.10, the only option is the new tab page. If you click on 'Close' an empty page is displayed. There is no option for a new tab, open your homepage.

  In addition, you cannot right click the home button to 'open in a new tab '.

  Y at - it a shortcut for this, and if not, can firefox include this option in the next version?

  Middle or {Ctrl + click} Home button-click to open your home page in a new tab. Or you can add this functionality via an extension.

  I can't open Firefox. Home page comes up, I get just the reporter Crash asking me to restart/quit but every time I do the same message always comes back. I was not able to use Firefox for days now.

  In recent days, we have a lot of crashes with Trusteer report. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the noise.
  
  You can stop the report by using the Start Menu > programs > Trusteer report > report stop
  
  You can ask their helpdesk when a version update of their products will be available or, if you do not need this software, uninstall.

• How to set what pages opens with button tab

  I wish to have my home page opens when I click on the NEW TAB (+) button?
  Instead of a blank page!

• I tried everything suggested to get rid of the search page "open a new tab".

  I just bought a new computer with Windows7. I downloaded and installed Firefox 18.0.1 a week ago.
  I try to get the historical icon page to open when I click on "open a new tab".
  Some of the things I've tried (as reset Firefox and install the add-on) worked but only until I stop.
  When I load Firefox again, this pesky search page ("open a new tab") is back.
  How can I get the icon history page to remain permanently on the day the day?

  If your manual changes don't "stick" after a restart of the browser, please look out for suspicious extensions (such as 3 rd-party-toolbars or of things that you have not intentionally installed) currently installed under firefox/tools > addons > extensions or section of windows control panel programs and remove these entries.

  in the case, it does not resolve the issue please, try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "view folder", then a new window will open. in this search on a file named user.js window (it can be used to overwrite your custom settings). where it is present, delete or rename this file and then restart firefox.

• Firefox crashes after I open a new tab

  Hello
  My Firefox crashes whenever I open a new tab (empty). The same phenomenon occurs in safe mode. Here are links to some of the latest crash reports:

  What could be wrong?
  Thank you.

  You might try using a new profile. It might be hard to go at least a whole day without your pets addons, bookmarks, and history... the bookmarks are fairly easy to copy.

  Create a new Firefox profile

  This is in addition and does not replace your existing settings.

  A new profile will be your plugins installed by system (for example, Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions or other customizations. It should also come with fresh data bases of completely fresh settings and a cache folder.

  Out of Firefox and start in the profile using Start Manager > Search box (or run) - type or paste the following and press ENTER:

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Do not delete anything here.

  Any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button to create a profile, assign a name like April8 and ignore the possibility of changing the location of the folder. Then launch Firefox in the new profile that you have created.

  It might take some time to determine if the new profile works better than the old. If you want to import your Favorites from your regular profile in the meantime, here's how:

  You can use the dialog library (Ctrl + Shift + b or "Show all bookmarks") to access the restore feature. The trick is to know where to find your bookmark backups in your regular profile. After clicking on file... you can paste this into the space of file name and press ENTER to drill down to your profile folders:

  %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
  

  The semi-randomly-named folder that has your last backup is generally the one that ends with "failure". Click in that one, and then in the folder bookmarkbackups . Here you can choose the most recently updated to restore file.

  Important: restoring a backup bookmark clears all bookmarks currently in your current Firefox profile and replaces it with the contents of the backup file.

  In my view, it is also reasonable to install AdBlock Plus, Restorer of classic theme, and Status4Evar, like those who, by themselves, are not likely to be at the origin of this apparently rare problem. But I wouldn't add all your extensions to the time in the new profile, and if many show extensions system installed, you can disable those you don't actually use.
