How can I get rid two tabs to open when I first open Firefox?

When I first open Firefox I get my home page in a tab, but also another tab opens. This one is set to Facebook. How can I get rid of the opening automatically second tab?

You get two pages if you launch a new window using either:

  • CTRL + n
  • button '3-bar' menu > new window

If Yes:

Check the settings of your home page to see if you have several home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows you where to check them in the Options dialog box: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings. This article has more background on several tabs home: How to set the home page.

If not, or if the Options dialog box is correct:

Add-ons - can display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, this is the URL to normal Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/) or to a different address?

Do you have any extensions related to Facebook? You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:

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

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

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?

  • How can I get rid of tabbed browsing? I positively hate him and none of the choices in the tools to get rid of them.

    I was using an older version of FF because newer versions have messed up the private browsing and I had to decide if I wanted to navigation tab. I went to a newer version, because many sites does not work with the older version.

    I went to Tools - tabs and checked what I used to use do not get the navigation tabs. Does not work.

    Please tell me how to get rid of tabbed browsing and how to move back to a private and regular navigation without opening a new tab/window.

    If I can't get rid of tabbed browsing, I guess I'll mess with an older version.

    Digital_Gaia:

    Never heard of a case where you could do... However! I found an add-on rather orderly, that you can use to open a new tab in a private browsing mode.

  • How can I get rid of the security warning when viewing Web pages

    I recently received a security window pop-up asking if I want to view only Web pages delivered safely. How can I get rid of this and why I see this all of a sudden

    Hi Elizabeth,.

    I don't know why he suddenly began occurring - maybe it was an update or something you have installed.  It may be a corrupted system file or maybe even malware. It is very difficult to tell without extensive trials.  But let's focus on the most likely solutions.  Later, if you want to go back to the 'why', we can make some procedures to test potential causes (although if the problem is resolved, it can be very difficult to identify the cause because it can be fixed or repaired money) - but I'll be happy to go there with you, if you want to.

    In Internet Explorer, go to Internet Options / Security / Internet / Custom level / then highlight near the bottom in the section, until you get to "Display mixed content".  My guess is that it is defined at the command prompt (which is the window that you see).  You have three choices: you can leave things as they are on command prompt and decide in each case what you want to do (which is how I have mine set up - it really is not so common).  You can click on Enable and IE automatically displays pages with mixed content and no prompt.  You can click on disable and IE will display not these pages (and will probably give you a screen indicating the reason and you must then choose somewhere else to go or perehaps click on the back button to go to the page that brought you to this page to see if there is no indication to choose one type of content and avoid the problem (although I've honestly never seen such an option).)

    For what it's worth, I almost always approve unless I'm on an unknown site where I already feel uncomfortable for a reason-so I can choose to refuse to approve and give up everything I did and move on (but it happens so rarely I honestly don't remember not that last time who had held-) It has been several months at least.

    If this does not work (or it has not been set to prompt), do you know where this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/76905-system-restore-how.html.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re-install any software and updates that you have installed and uninstall any software that you have removed between now and the point of restoration, but you can use Windows Update for updates.

    I hope this helps.  If this isn't the case, after return and, if you can provide me with some links to these sites (I don't remember those where it happened to me) so I can further research and to test the results.

    Thanks and good luck!

  • How can I get rid of tabs?

    Recently, I took my favorites in tabs, and I'm not happy with it. I need to know how to get rid of tabs. Thank you!

    It would be useful to know exactly what it is that you use that you dislike.

    What groups of tabs, the new feature for the white pages, or have tabs instead of windows separated with a single tab. Or maybe you have folders of bookmarks drop-down list on the toolbar of the tabs, or a problem that I did not mention.

    It would also be useful to know the version of Firefox. (Help-> about Firefox, should tell you)

    Follow related articles

    You can find your own answer. If this isn't the case, you should definitely find more information, which will help you describe what happened.

    Sorry for all the jargon, but as Firefox has a certain tab features, we must understand what you are doing.
