Just to clarify: I would like that my new tabs to open to my home page. not a white page and not frequently visited tab page.

  You can change it if you don't mind not peeking under the covers in Firefox about: config preferences editor.

  (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 filter 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 the desired value:

  (i) (default) Page thumbnails

  browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
  

  (ii) Virgin tab

  browser.newtab.url = about:blank
  

  (iii) integrated Firefox home page

  browser.newtab.url = about:home
  

  (iv) any other page

  browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page

• How can I configure new windows to open my home page, but the new tabs to open the vacuum?

  I have my browser set to restore the previous session, when I open Firefox and new tabs to open the vacuum. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and carry the load of my home page, while keeping intact previously mentioned behaviour, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.

• 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.

• Taskeng.exe malware turn away from my Firefox at Yahoo home page and I can't understand how to remove.

  I ran scans using Norton Security Suite and Microsoft Safety Scanner and cannot get rid of the malware Taskeng.exe. My guess is that because it shares the same name as a legitimate file, the antivirus software does not recognize it as a malware. Also, I went online to get suggestions and tried to open the computer in Mode safe to look for a second file with the same name, but it does not appear. The malware Taskeng.exe turn away from my Firefox at Yahoo homepage which slows down Firefox when opening and it slows the opening of other sites as well. Suggestions?

• Is there an option that allows me to display my Home Page when a new tab is opened?

  Tabbed browsing is great, but when you open a new tab it just opens a blank page. So I have to enter a URL or to perform certain actions to go where I want to go, which is my home page. There is an option to 'Show my home page' when Firefox starts, but I don't see a similar choice when starting new tabs. Anyone know if there is such a thing?

  Choose 1 of these add-ons:

  Module NewTabURL

  New homepage tab add-on

  with newtaburl you have more options

  Thank you
