  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?

  The new integrated tab page, the "gear" icon should provide both classic and enhanced, that show tiles.

  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.

• How can I tell Firefox to "pin" a tile for the site displayed on the new tab page?

  I can remove the "little used" sites the new tab Page, but can't run Firefox to add or "pin" a tile for a site that is frequently used on the Page tab. How can I tell Firefox that a site should be "pinned" on the page tab?

  Hi Csbhkvp1, the only way I know about pin of the slab which is not already on the page (sometimes if you zoom using Ctrl-to see all 15 tiles you could spot it) must first of all to bookmark the site you want to pin as a tile, then add the bookmark to the page. Please see this article for more information on this method: customize the page new tab (section "Add a tile from your bookmarks").

  Sorry, Mac, as you know, zoom out is not command - Ctrl

• How to make only ONE tab open every time I start Firefox - still, my screen jumps to the new tab page, although I tried to turn it off?

  I recently had internet service for the first time in two years. Over the two years, I took my desktop computer 4 times for a friend and got the updates that were available for AVG, HP, Windows XP, Adobe, Java, Open Office. As soon as I have internet at my house a few weeks ago, I started to update everything.

Even more annoying is that my computer automatically to this page of the new tab.

• How can I put ONLY 9 tabs, NO 15, on the new tab Page?

  How can I put ONLY 9 tabs, NO 15, on the new tab Page?
  (First OFF... Please do not read this as being written by an angry person.) I'm just frustrated with the browser that I liked for years. I hope someone can help me)
  For a long time, I had my Firefox (version 33.0.2 - even if I don't remember getting mentions "update") defined so that every time I clicked on the tab new symbol '+' to create a new tab (which has the "new tab Page" on that), the NINE inch nails would be shown for my SELECTION and PIN sites. I LOVED!
  Yesterday, I opened Firefox and NOW when I click on the '+' to open the new tab Page... FIFTEEN thumbnails appear, 5wide x 3down, (and to be honest I probably would have the habit of 15! ha).
  Here's the PROBLEM: NONE of the thumbnails are "compressed". They ALL have "liberated" up yellow icon to the left and clicking on does nothing to remedy this of course. Other that THAT, everything else behaves normally. (that is to say moving the thumbnails, deleting, swap... I just can't pin THEM!)
  FINALLY, I prefer my 9-repositionable decals on the new tab Page.
  I went through ALL the options on the side, upside down and backwards, and I just get more frustrated.
  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  If you can see all your tiles, you can change your settings in settings page:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
  2. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
  3. Search for browser.newtabpage.columns and change it to 3, or however many columns you like
     • Note: browser.newtabpage.rows allows you to change the number of desired lines as well

  You can also set a fixed number of tiles with the following extensions:

• How to create/add sites to the "new tab" page?

  I followed the link to help you guys already created. He asks to go to the window "Show all bookmarks" and drag a bookmark already created a vacancy in the "new tab" page. This does not work for my PC as once I drag the desired bookmark, just open this page on the new tab page. Please help with adding new tiles to the new blank tab page.

  I thought about it.

  I can't find anywhere in the manual where it says that Firefox must be set on remember the story so that it works. But he does.

  I put the tools-> Options-> life private Firefox Will: do not forget history

  and it works very well.

  I can understand why remember the story must be about to have FF build this list automatically. But why must it be to build this list manually?

  Well.

  I recommend FF to update their documentation.

• The new tab page was going well for MONTHS, had an image I have uploaded. Today, I had a 'safe' mode what to be, and my image disappeared. How do I restore, so my image rises?

  I had set up my new tab page with an image I have uploaded. It worked fine for months, or even years.

  Today, I had a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in "safe" mode or "restore". I chose "restore."

  On this, my image disappeared from my the new tab page. I can't find how to restore and Add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not useful. At least, I can't understand them.

  Can provide you assistance on a computer for Dummies level?

  If you deleted the folder "Old data Firefox" you have not the ability to restore your previous profile data.

  If it's an image you have stored on your computer, you can open this image in a Firefox tab (Firefox > new tab > open a file).
  
  This will give you the file:// URL in the address bar and you can use a copy and paste this file is enabled in the new tab page.

  You can set the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set the value of this pref on this URL for you the new tab page.

  You can open the topic: config page via the bar addresses as you open a web page.

• How can I manually change the images used for the new tab Page?

  I turned off so the images are not cached for the new tab Page history and be reloaded Firefox is restarted. In addition, some of the sites I've pinned use HTTPS and do not allow their images to be cached.

  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?

• Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my entry from google line.please help.tks

  Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my google input line. I use Windows 10. Until the recent update (v4.1.01) each time I started a new tab the new page would show the google search entry line which is my default. Can help you to restore this feature? TKS

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

  Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

  Notice, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

  You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

  If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

• If we consider how help topics are listed in the NEW TAB page, it would not sense for her return to the old style, one that was simple and effective

  Suck it features 'NEW TAB', to say clearly in computer talk about the terms. With so many people asking how it works or how to get back to the old design, would it be better to compile all the negative comments and confusion on this new format, and reverse back to the old design? As the saying goes... "IF IT ain't BROKE...". DO NOT REPAIR. "I don't even use the NEW TAB page now that I have no desire to understand or read how get my links to be retained and which stored again. A lot of my links aren't there anymore and even visit the sites, is not put these links on the NEW selection TAB page. Honestly this just unwanted thing. Guys we need to stop changing things that work. Sometimes, when a thing is created... you were right the first time. Sorry, but are running out of Internet Explorer. They did not move, but... when they have did... it was just things that need an update or a hotfix.

  I also hate the new shit tab in 38.0.5!

  Open a new tab if you need with speed, it's much better all you have to do is write about: config newtab in the search box and and delete what has the newtab value, as you can see in the picture, I don't download.
