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.

Success?
