• How to set the new tab to open a homepage

  After the recent update to version 44.0.1 I lost the ability to open a new tab and open the new tab homepage. Someone can help me.

  Thank you

  Do you mean when you open a new tab, you want to see your regular home page instead of the page of the new integrated tab on Firefox?

  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 "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
  • If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

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

  Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

  After installing one of these extensions, 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 replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  New tab Override

  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.

  Custom new tab

  It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. 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.

  Success?

• How to prevent a new tab in Firefox to open when you open a PDF file in Adobe.

  First of all, this problem started Monday, August 25, 2014 when I was forced to update Firefox to log in my accounting online program. I had no such problem in the previous version of Firefox.

  When I open a PDF document to an e-mail (which displays a Firefox icon next to it), the document opens in Adobe reader, but also a blank tab opens in Firefox, even with it is not already open. When I close the PDF, the Firefox tab remains open and I have to close it manually. Happening with PDF documents that I saved to the network of my company or my computer (which have the Adobe icon). I don't want to have to save a PDF file on my computer as a workaround for this problem.

  Under Tools > Options > Applications, I already spent the Adobe/PDF options to open it in Adobe. In addition, in topic: config, the value of 'pdfjs.disabled' reads 'true' and 'plugin.disable_full_page_plugin_for_types' contains "application/pdf".

  I work with a lot of PDF files and I'm frustrated to the point where I'm about to uninstall Firefox and just use Internet Explorer.

  Hello, it works when you enter in the Acrobat > edit > Preferences > General & click on the application by default option at the bottom? to reselect it adobe application and confirm this selection...

• How can I set the new tab to open like a blank page?

  I tried "how to turn the page on the new tab off?" in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites

  But still the new tab opens with (chrome://quick_start/content/index.html' "Quick start" and the words "Snap Deal" is already entered in the search bar.) See the capture screen.
  I need a blank page displayed when a new tab is opened.

  Unless this is possible, I spend my default browser.

  Thanks for the reply jscher2000.
  After posting the question, I uninstalled Firefox and then download new and installed. Still the problem remained.
  After about 2 hours I still once uninstalled, downloaded again and installed.
  This time it worked perfectly as before.
  So, now I don't have the problem.
  Thank you.

• 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 configure new windows to open my home page, but the new tabs to open the vacuum?

  I have my browser set to restore the previous session, when I open Firefox and new tabs to open the vacuum. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and carry the load of my home page, while keeping intact previously mentioned behaviour, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.

  Is it possible to restore the previous behavior, or are all the tabs that are now seen as the same now, if they are open within the framework of new or existing windows?

  You must change the string "browser.newtab.url" by clicking twice and then write "subject: empty"... now the newtab will open with a blank page...» To change the home page will appear in a new window, see how to How to set the home page How to set the home page ~ J99
