  • Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
  • Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

• I use Windows 7 and since my last update to firefox 8, the browser seems to hang up when I open a new tab from a link. This happens when I go to a story or even when I go to the window of your support.

  I have tried disabling all my Add-ons, but it does make a difference. I ran chrome alongside Firefox and you can open all the tabs very well, and I can look at Firefox turn just the icon of treatment and never load. I can hit the tab reload a bunch of times and sometimes part of the page is displayed. If I hit the tab refresh then its treatment sometimes it will bring to the top of the page.

  One possible cause is a problem with the places.sqlite file that stores the bookmarks and history.

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

  See "basic troubleshooting: a new profile:

  • https://support.Mozilla.com/kb/basic+troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If this new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.

• When you open a new tab, placing default text in the address bar, a way to change to the new page (like Google)?

  When I click on the 'plus' for a new tab, which automatically takes me to google.com so beautiful, but the cursor is in the address bar. It seems that the cursor is in the google search box, but it's not.

  When I click on "Home" the default cursor, the search field, which I think is correct. Is there a way to have FF does not by default the address for the input text bar when you open a new tab?

  I doubt it. Google controls their research and their browser and they integrate features. But you can use "Ctrl + K" to place your cursor in the search bar"in your Firefox toolbars. By pressing the key TAB a little is a waste of time since there are a lot of links before you get to the entrance area.

  There could be an extension, if it bothers some, but I don't see a valid compromise to justify the use of an extension of something that seems trivial to me.

• Is there a way to get FF by default for your home page, when you open a new tab, instead of open a blank tab?

  My homepage is set to Google search, and when I open a new tab, I'd like to open this page, instead of a blank tab. As it is, I always click on the home button in the toolbar of FF, to replace the empty tab with a new Google search page.

  You can do this by using an add-on such as:

  Another way to open the home page in a new tab is in the Middle, click the home button in the navigation toolbar.

• How do you disable MySearch Dial to being the value by default when you open a new tab?

  I was able to change from being the default in the search box at the top of the browser, but every time I open a new tab the whole tab by default is always to the search page of MySearchDial. I think it was somehow installed on my pc via the malware and it seems to have gotten rid of it in IE and Chrome, but he persists in Firefox. Also I do not see it in the list of programs in the control panel so I can't uninstall it like that (unless it's called something else?).

• Resets default zoom when you open a new tab

  I use Firefox 23 on Ubuntu. It was recently updated. The new behavior is not desired. Here's what's happening. I open a page

               http://www.foobar.com
  

  I have set my level of zoom with ctrl ++ or view > > Zoom > > Zoom
  I opened a link from this page in a new tab

               http://www.foobar.com/story/12345/something-new-happening-today
  

  the tab opens with the zoom level by default, and I need to set it again manually. PITA BREAD.

  Previous versions of Firefox has kept the same zoom level when I open links in new tabs as described above.

  23 Firefox keeps my zoom level, when I open a link in a new WINDOW, but NOT in a new tab.

  How can I get Firefox 23 to maintain the level of zoom that I set when I open a link in a new tab?

  If this does not work in a new window, then stay with this window and close the window another, does not work.
