If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

  When you exit Firefox, update preferences should be saved, but there are a few possible reasons to do this fail or be ignored. Our 'How to fix preferences that will not save' technical support article explains how to investigate most of them.

  If the wrong page of the new tab is associated with an add-on or another software that you have deleted, it is possible that some of the unwanted software has been left. Let us know, in this case, we can provide additional suggestions for cleaning.

  An other problem users have reported is with utility programs such as Advanced SystemCare with protection features against changes to browser settings unwanted. Basically, they roll back any changes, necessary or not. If you use this tool or other software with a protection of homepage or navigation protection setting, you may need to disable until after you have Firefox to work the way you want.

• When I click on the + to open a new window I don't like the images that arise. I tried to change that in all: config; Browser.newtab.URL, but it will not

  When I click on the + to open a new window I don't like the images that arise. I tried several times to change that through words: config; Browser.newtab.URL. I put in the site I want and it won't change. I tried to put in: blank and it don't work. I'm obviously something wrong - can you help please?

  Thank you

  If Firefox is ignorant preference browser.newtab.url, the usual culprit is an extension.

  You can open the page in Firefox Add-ons using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
  • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
    firefox.exe "about:addons"

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

  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?

• Browser.newtab.URL has changed, but still does not

  I went in: config and was able to change the browser.newtab.url.
  I changed the url http://www.google.com and click on 'Ok '. When I click on a new tab, I always get the page that has recommended sites about. When I go back in: config, the url is still there. Any suggestions?

  Check first the addon by addon, disable one by one to find out what is the cause of the problem:

• Using about: config, I can not change the browser.newtab.url string.

  I tried to change it to google.com , but it will not change. The string above gives me a blank page powered by google.

  I did a scan special with Norton Internet Security, which has identified a number of things that he had to get 'fixed '. After getting things fixed, I was able to change the string of browser.newtab.url without any problem. So, no matter what the problem was before, it is now gone.
