How can I stop "Advanced search of Nation" to come whenever I open a new tab in Firefox under Mac OSX?
Help! A few days previously, toolbar 'Advanced search Nation' (SIN) began to appear when I opened Firefox. I removed the SIN application of my computer that got rid of the toolbar, but now when I click to open a new tab, the tab opens with the URL of NAS. I was not able to prevent this. I downloaded and installed Firefox again, but that has not worked. I used the Spotlight to search for advanced search of Nation, but none were found. I hope someone can help me with this problem, and believe me when I say that I'll be very grateful for any help. Thank you.
Use the searchreset tool and remove a user.js file as possible.

How can I stop a URL not desired to load everytime I open a new tab?
All of a sudden now everytime I open a new tab, I'm getting a CVS site for cheap pills.
Do a check with some malicious software malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.- http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php - Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

I uninstalled Snap.do but not completely erase my whole history, nothing has worked so far. Whenever I open a new tab in Firefox, Snap.do is like the search bar. What a pain!
If you don't like to reset, follow these steps: go in firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software you have in place and various other tools such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.

How can I get rid of the history that appears when I open a new tab?
When I open a new tab, I had a bunch of places I've been before. I don't want that. I don't need people to see where I've been by the images showing on the page. so, how can I get these gone?
Oh sorry, the link to locate the profile folder (designating the user.js file) is in the article profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data .

How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?
How can I stop Windows Search to steal the focus on the text input area?
I can type about three characters maximum and then results focus, and I have to click with the mouse to the area of searching at the end.
For example - I want to get "Img1.bak".
I type 'I' "m" and then I'm whisked away and the 'g', I typed just takes me to the "great songs by Imogen Heap.txt" or what is the first result starting with g.
I have to reselect the text box and add a letter or two at a time to get what I need. Very frustrating.

My home page is google, and my browser is mozilla. But whenever I open a new tab in the browser becomes yandex.ru. I can't find where to eliminate.
You have installed perhaps inadvertently some software of malware that is the cause. If it is not clearly listed in your Firefox Add - ons, you may need to change your preferences and find and remove the software. The software problem can be listed as a program in your list of Vista operating system and it can be easy to uninstall or it may be more problematic.

I can longer open a new tab in firefox
I can't open a new tab in firefox. If I click on a link, a new tab opens, but if I use the new tab button or control t that nothing happens. I used to be able to open several tabs, but suddenly, that changed. Can you my why?
Your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox) is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;" U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; (RV:1.9.2.15) gecko/20110303 AskTbBCPA/3.11.3.15590 Firefox/3.6.15.
The AskTbBCPA/3.11.3.15590 indicates the toolbar Ask has been installed.
Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

How to select all the text in the address bar when you open a new tab
I changed browser.newtab.url to a Web site with links, that I often use. Now, I have the problem that I don't always want to use one of these links. So when I start typing in the address bar text simply add the URL of my site. The problem would be solved, if the text in the address bar is activated every time when I opened a new tab (I could press each time crtl + of course, but I usually just type)
Is there something in the config, I can change or an Addon?
I had this same problem, but I was able to remedy this by installing this add-on:
https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/After the installation, remember to go to add-ons, Extensions; Click on the Options button; and select the development of space in the URL bar.

Every time I open a new tab, I want Firefox to go to the homepage of Google http://www.google.com/. Now when I open a new tab, the tab is empty. Therefore, I have to click on the Home icon on the upper right corner - the icon with the little house. How do you make firefox go to the homepage of Google every time an open a new tab?
Install this module, then in the options of the module, set the page you want to open in each new tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
- Set options for an extension: Modules > Extensions, click Options next to the extension.

How can I keep this stupid air to play whenever I open a new tab? Very annoying!
Why would anyone even want that?
Is that when you use the new button tab or command-t, or even if you provide a link or bookmark to open it in a new tab?
Could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable extensions, hardware acceleration, and a few other advanced features of Firefox. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:
- button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
- Help menu > restart with disabled modules
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works
After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not reset).
Any difference?
