How to get new tabs open to the correct home page?
When I open new tabs, they just go to a Google search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar, but as soon as he finished to load Google it blanks what I typed and going on the Google site. In other words, "in white" new tabs do not open the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How to change that? In other words, how can I get the tabs to stop opening to the Google and start to open my home page or favorite screen? Thank you!
You can change the pref browser.newtab.url on the topic: config page and set to the desired page to open.
See also this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):
If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.

There will be a link on my current site to perform an action (like to post an article on Twitter, or find a document to download) and a pop-up window will appear, but it says ' subject: vacuum '. It just started this in the last month or so. How can I fix it?
Thank you!
Hello
Try to check if happens in Safe Mode, try scann your Pc too:
Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.
More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

How to make new tabs open to my homepage specified instead of the blank page?
You can do this by using an add-on such as:
- NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
- New tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way to open the home page in a new tab is in the Middle, click the home button in the navigation toolbar.

This problem has only just begun and I don't know why. When I click the icon to open the Firefox browser, my homepage tab opens and another new tab opens to the sides of my Home Page tab. I checked and none are tube not characters in my address of the home page.
This seems to take place (e.g., Firefox opens my home page AND a new tab at startup - unsolved).
In case one of your extensions is in question, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help
Help > restart with disabled modules (Flash and other plugins still works)
In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)
Any difference when using the Home key or open a new window (Ctrl + n)?

Force new tabs open to the right of the current tab
Hi all
Is it possible to have the new tabs open to the right of the current tab, you are, as opposed to the default which is to the right of the last tab open?
I know that it's automatic when you click on a link in the tab in the course, but would be very happy to be able to do this for new tabs.
Thank you!

Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.
It's quite strange!

How to make a new tab open to a Mozilla start page?
I don't know where to make the change so when I opened a new tab, it opens to a start page of Mozilla instead of a white one.
Thank youHello kodi2011, you can modify the site that opens in a new tab like this:
enter Subject: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears), get preference named browser.newtab.url, double-click it and change its value on the site you want to see (the default value is on: newtab, for the firefox home page to use on: House or fill any other url).

If I click on the + to open a tab, it happens to a browser window which I don't want. I've changed the 'home page' what I want, which doesn't seem to work, even when I restarted Firefox.
How can I change the screen that is displayed when I select a new tab? Thank you very much in advance for your help!
A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).
If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

New tabs open to the right of the current page, not extreme right?
I liked using the new tab button, which disappeared from the most recent version, I had to go back to 38 to find it and put it back on my toolbar. However, I was not able to set the way in which the new tab opens, next to the page that I am. Previously, if I clicked on the new tab button, a new tab would open at the far right of the tabs. I tried to fix it by going to about: config, changing the browser.tabs.insertrelatedaftercurrent to 'false' to 'true' as was the fix in 2013. Alas, it doesn't now and I want to change it back. In addition, the new tab icon/button is gone for good in the new versions?
If your new tab button opens a tab in the middle of your tabs, it could be a feature of an extension related to tab. Some of them, such as Tab Mix Plus and Tab Utilities have so many parameters it can be a challenge to sort through all of them. You can check your extensions and check if they have an Options button to tweak their settings, on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then go through the list on the right side.

I want my new tabs open at the end of the row of tabs, how do I do this?
When I open a new tab, I would like to open at the end of the line of tabs, not next to the tab I'm on now. I'm used to the opening on the end, as it did in older versions of Firefox. I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I can't find anything in the options and I'm frustrated.
Thanks!
You are welcome

I seem to have been recently infected with Ask search engine
Everytime I open a new tab by default to this search engine. I want to reset so this new tab displays thumbnails of recently visited sites
I followed the instructions of your Support Web site using about: config and newtab but preference under browser.newtab.url looks correct on the subject: newtab
Yet the new tab always default to the search engine
How can I reset to the thumbnails?
TKS
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).
You can open the topic: config page through the address bar and search Prefs that refer to ask.com.
You can restore the default user set prefs ("BOLD") via the context menu.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

New tab opens with the Bing search engine
So I'm having exactly the same problem like this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959280
In short, I updated firefox and now the new tabs always open with a bing search engine. The url that keeps opening is: search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3312375 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = EB_SSPV & lay = 1 & UM = 2 & UP = SP634F83D9 - 5B 86-4960 - A131 - 4A6C35FD668C
I am convinced that this is not a problem with any add ons. I disabled everything possible that could affect it.
I tried to use the suggestion of the top answer but in the subject: config section, I don't have a preference searchinnewtabeenabledbyuser name. I looked at all the others 'newtab' preferences related names and did what the original fold says (wrong type in the value section) but it did not work! There's a name preference called browser.newtab.url by the url that opens each new tab as the "value", but whenever I try to change it, it is just for this url.
So, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me. I hate Bing! Even more now that they pulled this shit.
could go you firefox > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of this page and paste them here in an answer on the forum? This could give us an idea of what's going on...
