How can I disable the new tab page?

I followed 'the new tab page - view, hide...' answer and I cannot change the information in the box of ' subject: vacuum '. But when I click 'OK' the contents of the 'value' field in the 'browser.newtab.url' remains the same. In other words, he has not changed it to what I entered. Why?

Probably an unwanted add-on is hijacking your new tab page.

  • How can I reset the new tab page? (Browser hijacking)

    My browser has been hijacked recently by Trovi search engine, and it changed the home page and the new tab page. I was able to restore the home page, but the new tab page was more complicated. I tried to go to about: config and replacing 'browser.newtab.url' 'about.newtab' (because I want the page with websites frequent return), but it just resets the site you'll find once I clicked OK. I tried editing that it again, this time with a URL, but it resets again. This continued even after restarting Firefox. Finally, I tried the add-on "SearchReset." He wiped my regular home page, but the new site of the tab is always you'll find... Whatever I do, it will not change. It keeps resetting to Trovi.

    You must remove the malware that Trovi hijacker.

    • If you have many extensions then first turn on half of test extensions that half the problem.
    • Continue to divide the bad half that still has the question until you find that one is causing it.

  • How to ENTER ON the new tab page? Can't seem to make this work. The toggle switch is missing.

    The switch to the new tab page is not there in the upper right. Where is he?

    If browser.newtab.url has been "grayed out" subject: config it's probably because it's already the default value, which is of about: newtab... so you don't need to reset. Since you have to reset the preference browser.newtabpage.enabled (to true, by default) then the "toggle switch" should appear, as shown here:

    If browser.newtabpage.enabled is now fixed to true and that you still don't see the "switch", you can try Search reset the module that will restore the parameter browser.newtab.url (as well as other preferences related to research and the homepage) to the default value.

  • How can I customize my new tab page to show ONLY the websites that I want?

    Whenever I use the new tab it allows me to add some sites, but also displays the sites recently visited, but also the best sites. I want my new tab to show only sites I have add in 4 columns and 2 rows as what I had in my chrome.

    Hi, it won't show recently visited until you have completed all the tiles with your own. When you have added a site that you want to keep here - PIN. See - customize the page new tab.

    More info on the page tab that could be of interest.

    You can change the number of tiles on the Page of the new tab to zoom in or out (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

    You can also keep the same zoom setting when a new tab is clicked: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.preload and double-click on it to change the 'value' of true to False.

    It is also possible about: config to change the maximum number of tiles, scrolling to the browser.newtabpage.columns (or Rows), then right-click > modify to set a new number of 'value '.

    As an alternative, you might like to try the add-on new tab tools.

  • How can I remove the 'new tab' that flashes always upward when I run Firefox?

    The new tab provides links to Twitter, Facebook, etc. I don't want this 'service '. This tab is slowing down the process for me - a total pain in the neck. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Thanks a lot for this URL. In a previous thread, it was associated with a 'speed dial' or 'search dial' extension: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/990420

    The unwanted extensions are often installed at the level of the system as part of a bundle. So I suggest from here:

    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. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    Then, in Firefox, open the page of the modules using either:

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

    (1) in the left column, click on Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or that seems unnecessary, try the configuration 'will never activate. (The essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most of the sites without the others.)

    (2) in the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    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.

    Finally, you can "absorb" remain problems with scanning/cleaning suggested in this article of support tools: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

    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.
