• I don't want to move to the new tab immediately when I select text and search it from the context menu.

  When I select text and right-click on it and looking for it, the new tab open and switched to immediately. I don't want that. Instead, I want to stay on the page that I am and don't want new tab to switch immediately.

  Hi Obaid.Farooq, please try the following:
  enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.search.context.loadInBackground. Double-click it and change its value to true.

• Cannot do Yahoo to stop opening with new tab - even when I click on "Home" in a new tab.

  When I open a fresh tab, arrives with the Yahoo Search page. I went into options repeatedly to remove Yahoo, define search Google as my homepage and set Google as your default search page. Just keep coming back to Yahoo.

  Actually, there is a parameter to the new tab page:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. 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. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

  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 (Mac: command + 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 you find something like Searchme, leads or tap, I will recommend additional cleaning measures.

  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.

• How can I get the default for the new tab page when there is no improved/classic/empty choises when I click on the gear icon.

  When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?

  To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to about:config in Firefox
  2. Locate the browser.newtab.url string
  3. Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab

  This should change the new tab page.

  Notes:

  • Set the about:newtab to get the page of the new classic tab
  • Set the about:home to get the default home page
  • Set the about:blank to get the blank page

• All new TX resets when you ask him to turn on wireless

  I just bought a brand new TX from Amazon to have in store when my current (two years) must be replaced and tonight, tried to put up just to be sure it works. Unfortunately, when I try to turn on the wifi or do whatever it is in the preferences for wifi, the new unit buzzes and resets. This happened after the sync on my desktop (Vista, Palm Desktop 6.2.2) under the username of my former, which was probably a bad idea, then after a hard reset and synchronization under a new name, and then after a hard reset and no sync. It is better to try to synchronize another computer (XP) with the original supplied software, or do I have a defective unit? All the other things I should try? I don't think I've had this problem with the original unit.

  Hello..  Welcome to the forums of Palm.  If you did a hard reset and not synchronized or whatever it be added to the TX and it is still reset itself then Yes you have a defective unit that needs to be replaced.  Since you just bought it I would return to their replacement.

• Is it possible to have the new tab page is displayed by default when you start Firefox?

  Firefox may be set to view the new tab page when the browser is started? In Options > general, the only choices under "Startup of Firefox" is the home page, a blank tab or restore previous session.

  Alternatively, the new tab page is adjustable as home page?

• Yahoo appears when I press the new tab now and continues to do so even if I change it back

  I tried the subject: config and the removal of Yahoo / change in about: newtab - it works, but in about 30 minutes, it is for Yahoo. I checked add-ins and extensions, and the only thing I'm running is Norton. I even tried to go back to the original version of Firefox, in case Yahoo has uploaded a new modified version, and that seems to work, yesterday. But today, when I clicked on the new tab - Yahoo back again. Nothing to do, it seems made a difference - it's worse than a virus, as it seems to keep regenerating itself. Can anyone help please?

  I have "think THAT"I could find a resolution. I included here for info to others.
  Went to the control panel in Windows
  Choose to uninstall a program
  Clicking the column installed on everything in date order.
  Noticed that at the same time I installed another piece of software a 2nd piece has been installed without my permission. It was called Hub a lot of results.
  Selected many results Hub and uninstalled.
  To do this, I noticed that it closed Firefox.
  After uninstalling, I restarted the PC, just in case he left something in memory
  Then once it restarts again, I uninstalled Firefox (tbh, I probably didn't need to do that, but wasn't any risk)
  Rebooted again (probably no need to do)
  Once the PC itself started, I installed a version of Firefox.

  Now, fingers crossed, it worked. If it has, I'll come back here tomorrow and this will mark as resolved.
