• suddenly I'm asking as a new tab and not google search - driving me crazy

  Ask the home page is driving me crazy. I want my google search customary as that which opens when I press on the new tab. I was everywhere on the internet to try to fix this. nothing works.

  Since there are different options/settings of the standard page in a new window or a new tab, could you confirm if you have one or two of these problems:

  • Ask if poster at the start, in a new window (Cmd + n), and when you click the Home button
  • Ask appears when you open a new tab in the same window (Cmd + t)

  For these two problems, the first thing to check is an unwanted extension. You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:

  • CMD + SHIFT + a (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a critical look at the extensions listed on the right side. If in doubt, disable or remove if possible. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.

  Often, 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.

  Which allows you to regain control of your homepage and view the standard Firefox new tab page?

  If so, here are the details on how to restore your preferred homepage:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  If you find that it works in your session (Cmd + n and give you good home page), but after leaving Firefox and commissioning once again you have bad home page, look for an optional settings file named user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder. Firefox uses the settings in this file at startup to override your preferences since the previous session. You can check and delete the file by following the steps in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save (there is a specific section on the user.js files).

  Display Google in a new tab page requires a different approach. From Firefox 41, the browser.newtab.url parameter is no longer used because it was constantly attacked by malware. Now, 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.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
  • If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-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.

• I lost the google search bar

  I lost the little google search bar located on the right side. All the previous suggestions do not work.

  You have removed the buttons on the Navigation toolbar by accident.

  If you right click on an item to toolbar in normal mode (non-personnaliser) mode, then you can remove this item from the toolbar.

  • "Remove from toolbar" will remove this element of the Navigation toolbar and moves it to the palette to customize (Firefox '3-bar' menu button > customize)
  • "Go to the Menu" will move this point '3' dropdown menu Firefox button bar
  • "Move to the toolbar" in the "3-bar" Firefox dropdown menu button will move that point to the toolbar

  You still have the Navigation bar with the visible address bar?

  Wednesday, October 21, 2015. I can't get Firefox page up - it shows Google search, but then notice of default Firefox arrives asking for me to restore. By pressing 'restore' back message that the proxy settings are 'bad '?

• When I open a new tab, I'm on it to open it with Google Search.

  When I open a new tab, I'm on it to open it with Google Search. How can I change this?

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

  Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

  Notice, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

  You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• How can I remove icons Google Apps and Google search page AFTER 41 of Firefox Update Options?

  Before my recent upgrade to Firefox 41, while using Google search in the search bar, Google Apps and Options icons were not on the search page. After the upgrade to Firefox 41, two icons appear. How can I remove them?

  You can get Google results through two other sites, with an accent like the privacy. You can judge if you like better the layout:

  • https://Startpage.com/
  • https://search.disconnect.me/

  I do not use those regularly myself, so I don't know exactly what the differences would be.

• Why is my bookmark 'localhost' changes to a Google search?

  When I 'Bookmark this Page' while watching a localhost/~username/target.html file, the current bookmark is initially correct, but then changes to a long Google search, I did a week ago. But when I bookmarked 127.0.0.1/~username/target.html, he gets a bookmark correctly and that it is correct. This started happening in FF v.41. I took screenshots to show the change in what I asked, and what I got. Note the time of these screenshots and the time of entry in the Notes. The first is when I have "Show all bookmarks" is opened and set bookmark the page. I closed the window of the library, and then made "Show all bookmarks" once again, the entry had changed. It makes no sense to me.

  Well, this uRL was so long that I didn't know what it was for sure. It took me to my Google Sites page on the problem of the assistive devices on Yosemite.

  I bypassed THIS problem by changing my favorites and change all occurrences of '//localhost' to ' / / 127.0.0.1. " It works all the time. Perhaps this bad URL was taken from history, so I deleted my URL history, and now 'localhost' also works.

  Thanks for listening. I'll mark this as "resolved", although it is still a mystery.

  Unwanted modules can take control of your settings in Firefox (search engine, home page, the new tab page) and make it impossible for you to fight them. Here's my method of tracking down and cleaning of the bad modules, the air pirates and injectors ad. I know it seems long, but it's not so bad.

  (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

  (2) open Firefox page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  Often, 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.

  Any improvement?

  (3) you can search the rest of problems with scanning/cleaning tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

  Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

  • Download the installer of Firefox and save the file to the desktop
    https://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/all/

  If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

  Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.
  • It is important to remove the Firefox program folder to delete all the files and make sure that there is no problem with the files that were the remains after uninstallation.
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

  Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

• Google search does not work on Windows 7

  run Firefox 38.0.1 on a Windows 7 computer. When I run the google search, nothing appears below the search bar on top (with the white magnifying glass on the right). This space is all white.

  Thank you Fred, your answer got me thinking in the right way, and I solved the problem.

  My Firefox Flashplayer plugin was obsolete. Which fixed, and Firefox switches very well now.

  Of course bing worked, cause it uses silverlight Microshit and not Adobe flash player.
