How to choose which site a new tab go to?

When I open a new tab by clicking on the sign more, need me to an empty search bar that uses bing. I wish that the new tabs to take me to google.

Here's how you can change your new tab page:

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

  • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
  • Blank tab = > subject: empty
  • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
  • Any other page = > full URL of the page

Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel.

Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

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

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown.

If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.

A little luck?

  • How can I automatically get a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

    The extension add-on "NewTabURL' (from"sogame") provided the option I want to and used for a number of years. But it has stopped working when Firefox has been updated to version 16.0. When I click to a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

    The extension "NewTabURL" can be revised to work in version 16 or 17? If not, if not, how can I get the new functionality of the tab I want? I can't find another extension that provides this feature.

  • How to define which site comes back in a new tab?

    Since the installation of the latest version of Firefox, when I click on '+' to create a new tab, the Yahoo search site always comes to the top. I do not want the Web site. How can I change coming to the site?

    It will be because of an add-on. Check for modules of Yahoo if none of them have added to it. An another add-on which has net gel assistant, if you have one you can uninstall it and Firefox should return to the display of a blank tab.

    There are modules that allow you to specify what to display on a new tab, as a complement to NewTabURL , but except if you discover that the module is originally opened with yahoo and disable/uninstall, it is best not to install NewTabURL as it might conflict with another add-on.
