Firefox starts in a new tab instead of the home page tab. The home page is selected in options.

When I star Firefox, it opens the homepage of tha and a new tab, but it goes the new tab instead of the home page selected in options.

Thank you guys. That's exactly what it was: an unwanted extension that somehow got surreptitiously installed. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction.

    every time I erase content and settings on my iphone 6 after reset at the start of my phone and after crossing the screen as Hello > select language > wifi connection > my iphone doesnot ask me lock activation that says that your iphone is connected with the old apple ID, please enter the id and password

    I do not understand your question, but let me go with what I believe. Looks like you entered in iCloud and erased all the content and settings on the iPhone, and once you go by assigning back up again, you do not see something that you expect to see, for example, a request for an Apple ID. When you go through the installation process to select the language, etc., it must, at some point, ask you to identify yourself with your Apple ID. are you not see this?

    It would be better if you try to describe exactly what you do again. Also, without the help of any sign of punctuation, it is difficult to track everything you ask. Try providing the steps of what you do, and then what you see when you get to the point that you believe that something is going wrong. You mention both an old and new Apple ID, which is rather confusing.

  • When you press the button Home, Firefox instantly opens a new tab the start page wth, how can I stop the extra tab to open?

    If I hit the Home button on one of them I have several tabs open, Firefox opens a new tab just next door with the Firefox start page. I searched in the options and am unable to find why this happens or how to stop it.

    If this isn't a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in this tab.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    That is the case also if you use the shortcut keyboard (Option + Home)?

  • 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

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

  • How can I stop Firefox to crush a new tab on the old?

    I'm trying to find a way for me to get a new tab on the presentation of a new URL. Because I want to pass between the old an new tab in the tab bar. I can't find the solution and therefore Firefox always replaces the previous tab in the tab bar. Can anyone help?

    For links in pages, or bookmarks, in addition to the context menu, you can use these methods to open a link in a new tab:

    • CTRL + click (hold down the CTRL key and click on the link)
    • Middle-click (use the scroll of your mouse wheel click the link)

    If you type a URL in the address bar and you want to open in a new tab, you can:

    • Hold down the ALT key and press enter
    • CTRL + click the 'go' at the end of the address bar

    There are a few modules focus on the tab with a superb range of features, which can be always open in a new tab. I haven't checked this myself, but these are very popular and could be a good place to start your search:

    Sorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:

    • CTRL + n (start a new window)
    • Click on the Home icon in the toolbar

    If Yes:

    You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:

    If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.

    If not:

    Sometimes problems occur only at startup.

    • If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
    • If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.

  • Home page of Firefox loads when opening new tabs

    Greetings!

    When I open a new tab (add) in Firefox, the new tab automatically load my start (home) page. He is an annoying "feature" when I open the page to insert an address because the address of the start page is present, resulting in the need to remove it from the address bar. This was not the case in previous versions of Firefox. Is there a setting to fix this? In other words, I'd like to open a 'blank' page when opening a tab, but I don't want a blank page appears at startup.

    Thank you.

    These are actually separate settings internally, unless you use an add-on to replace.

    Here's how you can change your new tab page:

    (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 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.

    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
    • "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 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.

    A little luck?

  • When I load firefox it opens a new tab then my home page. How can I stop the new tab

    I just need firefox to open my home page, not to open a new tab

    You can check the target line in the shortcut to the Firefox desktop (right click: properties) to make sure that nothing is added after the path to the Firefox program.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • In FIrefox to develop edition, new tabs are always empty.

    When I click on a link, the new tabs works as it is supposed to. When I click on the plus sign at the top of Firefox, all tabs open empty. I do not get thumbnails of the most frequent sites and I don't get Google. One of these options would be great.

  • Every time Firefox opens, I get new tab, with my desired as a tab page I click on get to. How to get back to how it was in previous versions?

    After updating to the latest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and one that appears on my screen is new tab with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go. Also, when I click on a link, the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab I have to click to get to. It's actually quite boring and inconvenient. How to get back to the way it was, so that when I run Firefox it opens on my homepage, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link I clicked on? This new and improved IMO is really new and worse.

    A further extension could have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you may have installed recently.

    Try turning off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so completely junk, delete).

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    That get rid of the extra tab?

    Note: I also suggest to visit the Control Panel, uninstall a program and by clicking on the column heading "installed on". This should bring the most recent additions at the top and group by install date so that you can examine the software may have unexpected how have been installed.

  • Firefox support only empty new tabs for all web pages, with the blank url bar.

    After an automatic minor update (16.0.1-> 16.0.2), firefox is now completely unusable.

    Whenever I try to load a page, it shows only a blank tab labeled 'new tab '.
    The url bar of this page will be empty if I try to open a link or bookmakrk.
    The url bar of this page will be exactly what I typed if I manually typed a url.
    Right click on the white pages does nothing: no context menu.
    "Troubleshooting information" page DID load correctly however; It is the only page I was able to display at all so far.

    Restart of firefox has not fixed the problem.
    Restart of firefox in SafeMode with addons disabled has NOT set the question - so please don't waste time trying to tell me that it's addons.
    Change the settings of the network proxy has not fixed the problem.
    There is no connection problem: IE can load pages very well from the same computer.

    I love firefox mah... but now it's dead... Please help!

    Update: resolved:
    Firefox works correctly after you restart the entire computer.

    It is bad form to require restarting the computer for minor updates to browser... and even the poorest not to say so when you do.

    (Some of us run the servers in the background that should not be broken).
