Firefox homepage button opens new window instead of a new tab

Similar Questions

• I have version 9.0.1 on 2 pc, both xp sp3. 1 the button "open new tab" is visible, on the other hand, the "Open new tab" button is not yet available in the menu "Customize toolbar" drag / drop. Why?

  I used the same setup file, but on 1 pc, the "Open new tab" button is available in the menu 'Customize toolbar' and can be dragged and drop on the navigation bar. On the other pc, the "Open new tab" button/icon is not yet available for drag / drop. I uninstalled firefox completely, including the settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that has not fixed the missing button.

  Hello

  Please try to restore the default value in the Customize... window. If it is still not visible, one of the reasons could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar, but can be hidden behind a different icon or toolbar.

• Home page of Firefox loads when opening new tabs

  Greetings!

  When I open a new tab (add) in Firefox, the new tab automatically load my start (home) page. He is an annoying "feature" when I open the page to insert an address because the address of the start page is present, resulting in the need to remove it from the address bar. This was not the case in previous versions of Firefox. Is there a setting to fix this? In other words, I'd like to open a 'blank' page when opening a tab, but I don't want a blank page appears at startup.

  Thank you.

  These are actually separate settings internally, unless you use an add-on to replace.

  Here's how you can change your new tab page:

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

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

  (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

  Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

  If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

  If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel.

  Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

  If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

  A little luck?

• 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.

• How to set homepage to open new tabs

• What happened to the second button "Open new tab" in 4.0?

  In firefox 3.x, there is a button next to the last tab, an additional tab navigation. Now, there is only a 'new tab' button. Can I get it back to have both?

  You can drag the button bar of tabs in another new tab toolbar and use this code in userChrome.css to make two new visible tab buttons.
  Add code to userChrome.css below @namespace.

  @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
  
  /* show New Tab button on toolbar */
  #new-tab-button { visibility: visible !important; }
  
  /* show New Tab button on tab bar */
  .tabs-newtab-button { visibility: visible !important; }

• I can't open new tabs on the position of botton?

  Hello. After the upgrade to v.7 v.5 Firefox can't open new tabs when on the bottom. In a page Web, in an area about an inch under the 'tabs' line does not work. Example: on the 'Help' of Firefox page I can't sign-in/register if I want to "contribute" and I can't use the buttons under the title "NEED HELP FOR FIREFOX?". When on the Yahoo home page none of the buttons above the "Yahoo Search bar" and the "search bar" itself works.

  I tried to find someone on the Live chat since 09:00 with nothing doesn't.

  The extension of the Yahoo! toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. Disable or uninstall the modules.

• Firefox opens new tabs in the form of tabs first, then move on to the new windows

  I'm running FF 14.0.1 and the problem has persisted through a number of versions.

  Initially FF will open new tabs... CTRL + t work, do a right click to open in a tab etc all work fine. Sometimes the tabs are now question and I can get maybe 20 or open several tabs. And then other times we seem to be an arbitrary limit, say 5 tabs, and then each new tab opens a new window. No external link opens in a new window, a Ctrl + t opens in a new window, all new windows are the only image, for example, you can have a number of windows each tell 5 tabs, just the original (for example) window 5 and then a series of windows with only unique pages in each, and which Ctrl + t doesn't open a new window.

  A full restart sometimes heals things and I can go back to have different pages in different tabs and then something... without obvious motive... launch us in the "new window only" mode after what even if I reduce the number of tabs in the original window many tabs, Ctrl + t opens only new windows.

  He's really starting to happen to me... I have searched the technical support information and wonder about a full reset or even uninstall and reinstall. places.SQLite is verified as valid and I also, have it reindexed all to no effect.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
