• How can I stop addons to declare that they are updated whenever I have start firefox by opening a new tab for eah addon?

  After firefox updated all addons some of them has opened a new tab after restart. This tab has reported that each addon has been updated.
  But these tabs keep opening at startup, hiding my homepage and gets boring.

  I solved many of them downgrading to an older version, but I can't trouble the Tabmix more tab than guard leader here:
  http://tmp.garyr.NET/version_update2.htm?version=0.4.1.1pre.130722a
  Even without this downgrade, which in fact lead to another page that tells a different version (the one I had demoted to)

  EDIT. I wiped out the config to restore it piece by piece.
  Everything is now resolved.

  In the Blackboard, I need not to open a new tab in Firefox. Before the last update, it was fine, but now when I click on a new choice (that is, the notebook) it always opens a new tab. The administrator of my Bb says it's a browser problem. I can right click to open a new tab, but there is no choice not to open a new tab.

• yesterday, October 5, 2015, I installed the latest version of firefox which does not allow me to open a new tab as my home page - how can I fix?

  In previous versions of firefox, I could use about: config to make the new tab opened as my home page. the latest version of firefox doesn't seem to allow this.

• How can I configure firefox to open a new tab for each new search?

  Each search I've done since the last update, Firefox open the new in the old tab. I have already fixed the Boolean value in browser.search.openintab true in everything: config, but it works only with google search (and not, for example with youtube search).

  This combination works for me:

  • Browser.Search.openintab = true
  • YouTube search plugin installed from YouTube (when green + appeared on the magnifying glass icon on the search bar)
    • by clicking the "punctual".
    • make YouTube the default search engine

  How about other search plugins: those who do not like Google or YouTube?

  I noticed that you have several extensions. Could one of these be alter the functioning of the search bar? You could test mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).

  Any difference?

• Firefox after opening a new tab

  When I open Firefox, it opens on my startup page, then immediately opens a new generic tab. I think I once clicked on "make your start page xxx", but never once completed the process. How to get there at my start page?

  Hello andy33,

  I think that one of your custom extension/add-ons is causing this problem.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  When your Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  Thank you.

• The functionality of tiles is freezing Firefox whenever I open a new tab. He says that I can turn it off but it freezes and I can't. In general, I have to restart. Help!

  Using Ubuntu Firefox Version 39. Just upgraded and it has a new feature of TILES that appears when I try to do a 'new tab', how it freezes the system. He tells me that I can turn it off by clicking on a symbol that at one point I was able to click on it but was not able to find what it was that I should turn off. Is there another way to disable this feature struck dead, since I can't use Firefox at all in these circumstances. Help, please. Thank you (cannot share data because it comes from another computer)

  Before I got this response, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. I went through the center of software this time instead of doing manually. Luckily it kept all my settings and is now works better than ever. Recommend doing this if you have the same problem. Thank you for your help.
