Firefox reduced when the new tab is open

When I open some links that open in a new tab (for example my bank statement has an option 'printable version' and when I click on this link and it will open in a new tab) firefox suddenly minimizes and becomes much smaller. I have to maximize the screen again and it becomes boring after a while. What gives?

Oh and I'm running on a Mac (OS X).

This has happened

Don't know how many times

With the genie effect too?
Try this:
Go in Firefox > Preferences > content.
Next to "Enable JavaScript", click Advanced.
Uncheck the box move or resize existing windows.

  • Search bar and address bar does not work when a new tab is opened

    When a new tab is opened, or the search address bar or research on the work of the page. All in all, nothing happens when you click search or click the arrow.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Setting up substitute again tab

    After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

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

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Success?

    Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

    Go to tools and click on Add-ons. Disable Gamesbar Oberon. Restart Firefox and your new tab should open as white.

  • An external source, changing the page displayed when a new tab is opened.

    I recently downloaded some freeware and without permission, he installed some malicious programs under the name of My start by Incredibar who hijacked the home page, the new tab page, default search and other functions of Firefox engine.

    The removal of the program itself was a simple task, as it has been disabling and uninstalling the addon that he had installed in Firefox. I thought that everything was back to normal, but when I went to open a new tab start my site appeared rather than the default blank page.

    Will be a relocation without deleting user data to fix this? I prefer not having to pull a full clean reinstall because I have a lot of addons with custom settings and connections.

    Firefox must be closed when you remove the element from the Windows Control Panel. Have you removed items as well ?

    After resetting the subject: config "mystart" elements, Firefox must be restarted for the items to disappear in about: config.

    If you change the items user_pref prefs.js while Firefox is open and there is "mystart" or "incredibar" preferences in about: config, your changes in the prefs.js file will be overwritten.

    Have you tried the add-on I suggested above? https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/SearchReset/

    You will have to perhaps restore the Firefox default state and start over with a new profile. Read the following and all the links in the following carefully to understand Firefox reset. See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

  • set the new tab to open AGAIN homeVersion 43.0.1 breaks new tab homepage

    I don't know why the development team is so God awful ready on forcing me to use this terrible miniature of the previous pages as the new screen of the tab, but it SUCKS. I use FF because I don't want to be forced to use my browser as I want it to work. Correct this flaw and I would like to give the new tab homepage. 43.0.1 broke the new tab override add on which historically corrected this weakness / FF stock.

    Can I assume that your real problem is that the extension new tab replace does not work in Firefox 43?
    based on your similar thread in September - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1084993#answer-784907

    The developer of this add-on is aware that it is broken - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/reviews/769315/ - and says he'll fix it.

    "The nature of the lack of the new tab should be without a doubt, opening to what the user has defined for its home page".

    You are entitled to your opinion on that, but Mozilla feels differently about what the default should be for the new tab.

    My opinion [that does not count be] is that it would be ridiculous to have all of the users 'Homepage' to be the default value for the page tab. How would this work when a user like me has two home pages? Two new tabs open all the time? Or complicate the issue and only open the first home page for the new tab instead?

    Do you mean when you open a new tab, you want to see your regular home page instead of the page of the new integrated tab on Firefox?

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

    Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

    After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    New tab Override

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

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

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Custom new tab

    It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

  • 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.

    Is it possible to restore the previous behavior, or are all the tabs that are now seen as the same now, if they are open within the framework of new or existing windows?

    You must change the string "browser.newtab.url" by clicking twice and then write "subject: empty"... now the newtab will open with a blank page...» To change the home page will appear in a new window, see how to How to set the home page How to set the home page ~ J99

    Hi cor - el

    Who did the trick. Now, I own empty screens when I open my home page or open a new tab. I like the simplicity - I don't want to see ads or irrelevant guff loads when I use internet. I like a clear workspace, it makes me more relaxed and more productive. I am now very happy!

    Thanks a lot for your help to solve my problems.

    And thanks to Monez01 to start the discussion.

    All the best wishes, FriedEgg (keeping my Sunny Side Up!)

  • 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
