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?

  • How to stop flickering / refreshing newtab-page when opening new tabs by ctrl-click on the pictures?

    Often when opening new tabs of pages newtab miniatures (topic: newtab) newtab - full page refreshes or otherwise falters. This sometimes causes some tabs are not open when ctrl-click on several thumbnails in a row. Page newtab recalculates after each click what thumbnails it should show, and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in miniature order.)

  • Firefox recently started opening new tabs when I click on search results how do I get this to stop

    When I use Google and I click on a search result, it opens a new tab, where it used to just take me to a new page in the tab I was using, I searched on the tabs tab in options and saw I could choose to open in a new window, but I don't see an option to open it in the current tab. It started to arrive from nowhere.

    Found a setting in Google that said to open all the result in a new window that I guessed that Firefox has been the substitution and open it in a new tab as suggested settings unchecked the box in Google and now the behaviour is back to normal.

  • 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.

  • How to make the homepage to appear when opening new tab

    Under Firefox 40.x whenever I opened a new tab, my home page appeared. When I upgraded to 41.0, opening a new tab displays the suggested sites. How do I have my home page appear whenever I open a new tab?

    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 Classic theme restaurant: 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).

  • The address is not valid problem when opening new tab

    opening of firefox (I crash usually close under Task Manager), it reloads all tabs as it should.
    But when you open a new tab, I get "the address is not valid.
    I tried all the parameters of the start of the blank home page and latest opening option.
    I have tried all suggestions in other markets, reset... Subject: config
    I wish it had a document giving detailed information for all parameters
    When on the topic: config and search newtab, the only user adjustment (not default) is
    browser.newtabpage.storageVersion; 1 and I tried 0,1,2,3,4,5 restart no change even between the two.
    Have been re-intall, reset, safe mode, nothing works
    the tab works normally after the error, which means that I can start typing in the address bar and even complete works of auto... I restarted just fz and he did a 27.0.1 update
    that did not fix it either... I'm bored of the default page of fx that has recent photos.


  • When opening new tab I'm headed to Google, but the cursor remains in the address bar. Anyway to automatically move the cursor to the google search bar?

    Thank you in advance. I upgraded to firefox 4, and since then, I had a problem. When you open a new tab, I chose to be directed on google.com. In the past my cursor automatically went to the search bar on this page when I open a new tab. After the upgrade, the cursor remains right in the address bar, but I would like it moves automatically into the bar of google search on the page. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks again.

    What extensions do you use?

    A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).

    If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions of the origin of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • How can I remove annoying clicking noise when opening new tab?

    I have goggled it and it says something of non-script (I'm not running) and nothing else that sounded remotely close to my problem. Basically, every time I open a new tab (which I do tons of) I hear the most odious type click hard and he's pushing me to the top of the walls. I simply cut the whole browser then many media players and the game as the audio directly instead of adobe flash or other browser. I just learned that he also plays more noise in the world when I use the spell check feature...

    Any help on deleting this file its terrible of Firefox would be greatly appreciated... I'd hate to start using chrome comes out of this sound.

    Only the Add-ons I use are Adblock Plus 2.6.3 Advanced SystemCare surf Protection 1.0 (I guess it installed itself with the CSA program) and Leechblock 0.6.6.

    All my plugins are disabled by default, unless I manually turn their add-on Manager window when I start firefox and the front sound pieces I never turn them on.

    Hmm...

    What exactly is the sound? To see if it is a built-in Windows sound, could you review the sounds assigned to different actions in the control panel and see if the noise you hear is one of these:

    Start menu > Control Panel > hardware and sound category > change system sounds > (in the dialog box) sounds tab

    Also, use the parameter which indicates each tab as his own overview in the Windows task bar? If so, could test showing you the real only windows on the bar?

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > tabs

    clear the check box "Show glimpses of tab in the Windows task bar.

  • Tabs not drawn in title bar when opening new tab

    I started having a strange problem in Firefox 30.0: when I hit ctrl-T to open a new tab, the tab bar below the title bar and stays there. I closed and reopened and find the same thing. Check the config settings, I see this: http://i.imgur.com/grAtg5U.png

    So, I put them both off the coast, and he is back to normal: http://i.imgur.com/c1CNruW.png

    But if I hit ctrl-T, again, I'm back to the same question: http://i.imgur.com/bB7fe4E.png

    Unless I restart the browser, I can't even change the drawInTitlebar setting, but even if I do that, issue will be back as soon as I open a new tab again.

    Any idea?

    Thank you!

    There is no such thing as the browser.tabs.defaultDrawInTitlebar pref by default in Firefox (no hits in the source code, so you must have an extension that adds this preference.

    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
