How to disable an add-in to always open a new tab to a predetermined web page?

Research of duct add on sneaking on my firefox when I downloaded a free comic reader called "CDisplay.

I tried to use the cleaning https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ add-on, but it is nowhere once it has apparently installed.

I can't activate the searchreset add on, it does not work, or this does not resolve the isssue of add-on "leads". any help appreciated

Thank you both for your responses... I solved the problem by using the system restore, will go back to yesterday.

So I don't have the chance to try your corrections, but they both seem worth giving a go if the system restore would be too much of a change in one workflow.

Thank you < 3

    This is not possible out of the box, but you should look at some of the incredible Add-ons available for Firefox. I prefer one called new tab King, but there are a lot of great options.

    I was mucking around with themes today and now when I open a new tab, it does not show my most visited sites, it shows just a blank page. I had this problem before and somewhere managed to solve this problem, but now, I went through everything & I just can't understand how it back as it was. Can someone help me? When you click on a new tab, you have pictures of the page of the most visited and most listed sites in the right part. It's NOT top sites...

    This isn't a feature of Firefox, it was probably added by the extension of the Google toolbar. Look at the parameters of the GTB.

    The pref browser.newtab.url is no longer supported in Firefox (41 +), so it is no longer possible to put the new tab through this preference page.

    You can watch this extension to set the new tab page:

    You can set the new tab URL via Options/preferences of the extension on the subject: addons page.

    You can watch this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.

    Restorer of classic theme includes this feature as well.
    In current versions of CTR (1.3.9+), you will find "the Url of the page new tab ' in the section tabs (1).

    You can use pages like these:

    • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
    • the default homepage is Subject: Home
    • for a blank use Subject: vacuum
    • for a Super Start use topic: superstart
    • Use the URL of a web page

    See the topic: on page for available on the pages.

  • How to set the default for when I opened a new tab? It keeps opening to see the strange search window.

    The answer that came if applies only to Windows - I use a Mac.

    You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page.
    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

    Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

    I use my search engine Ixquick. When the result of the research is in place, whenever I click on a link, Firefox creates a new tab and change the focus of the page of search results on the page for the link that I clicked.

    Work on Firefox for windows 19.0.2. I imported the firefox profile everything from the old computer to a new one – after importation, a thing is broken:

    -When I open a new tab (topic: setting newtab) it opens a new tab with the tiles of sites previously used well, but I need to click on the address bar of browser-> first while on the machine to another, in my opinion, the default setting is that I can type in the Url bar immediately after the opening of the new tab to any address manually in the browser to the URL (without the need of) (click on the additional url bar)-j' I hope you understand you what I mean). A way to restore this feature?

    Thanks in advance

  • How to open a new tab and opens automatically to my homepage

    When I open a new tab, it goes straight to the snapdo.com. How can I change this so when I opened a new tab it opens directly to google without having to type in, or clicking on a bookmark button?

    There is a setting for new tabs...

    (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

    Note: when changing to Google, use a full URL ultimate as https://www.google.com/ - if you use a partial URL, there will be a few seconds while Google Firefox redirects this ultimate URL.

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

    Two traps:

    • If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on the addons page:

      Tools menu > Modules > in the left column click on Extensions
    • If the amendment works but at the next startup is back at Google, you might 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 get a search result to activate a new tab?

    In previous versions of Firefox that I used, whenever I typed a word or phrase in the search box in the upper right corner, the result automatically activated and appeared as a new tab (he could appear as a new window browser FF all together, I don't remember for sure).

    In the version I use (6.0.2), whenever I have a search using said search box, the result is automatically displayed on the current page, I'm on. It changes the page I'm on.

    How can you change or where is the parameter that has to be changed (I looked in 'tool', then '' options' and have not found a setting/choice for this action)?

    I would greatly appreciate help on this, since I have concluded that it is frustrating for some time. This is the first time, I looked for a solution with you' well all. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    You can do one of the following:

    1. After you enter your search term in the search bar, you can middle-click or Ctrl + left - click on go (magnifying glass) button in the search bar (= Middle-click (press the scroll of the mouse wheel).)
    2. You can change a preference to always open a new tab when searching from the search bar by pressing the Enter key only (not the URL/address bar):

  • How can I set my tabs so google opens as soon as I open a new tab?

    I had firefox put in place, that if I open a new tab, google would be the page. About: config the browser.newtab.url still says www.google.nl, but all I get is a choice to have the tiles or a page completely empty.

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

    Setting up substitute again tab

    After installing this extension, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

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

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Success?

    Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).
