I can't get a new tab to open on an empty page
I installed the new Strawberry override tab he cannot locate. How eo I find it?
Thank you
Changing the value of the string that I mentioned in my previous post, will change the page that appears in your new tab. The default value is about:newtab
, but it can be changed to anything you want.
To change the page to the new tab, follow these steps:
- Type of
about:config
in the location bar of Firefox and press enter - Click accept in the page to enter configurations
- Locate the
[email protected]
string or search for it in the search bar on this page - Double-click the string to change the value
- Enter the URL of the Web site that you want to use as a new tab in the dialog box that appears
- Press the ok button
This should change the new tab page that appears when you open a new tab. If the changes do not affect, try restarting Firefox and then check again.
If you want to use one of the pages by default Firefox as a new tab instead of a Web page, you can use about:newtab
or about:home
as the URL for the new tab.
I hope this has clarified the steps for you. If you need additional information, please let us know.

Can't get Firefox new tab to open in Google.ca (not Chrome).
I tried all the fixes in the latest discussions, but FF new update 41 refuses to open new tabs in Google.ca. I was about: config and through newtab, adjusted the columns and lines to 1 euro, I have tried everything: home to the URL, as well as the full URL for Google.ca. I'm not using Chrome. No Add-ons, no extensions, no profile.js file, no recent programs added without my knowledge. My new tabs come with Google.ca as a thumbnail, so I have to click on it. It's madness! Google is shooting itself in the foot. Can someone help me fix this, please? Thank you.
Thank you! problem solved!
Sorry for the stupid question. I do not work with addons much.
I appreciate your help.

I can't get the new tab button to open a blank tab. Nothing happens when I click it.
I think that this problem started a few days ago, when Firefox automatically updated, but I'm not sure. All I know is that when I try to open a new tab by clicking the new tab, nothing happens. I have to do this a lot, so it's really frustrating.
Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause this problem. It may have been installed as an add-on 'ride-along' with 'free' software that you have installed and you do not uncheck the option to install it.

I can't get a new tab when I right click on a link. Click it trl T and Tab does not work
I noticed only recently that. If I click on the plu small tab, nothing happens. If I File, new tab - nothing happens. If I Ctrl T, nothing happens. I looked at the options and nothing seems to point to an answer. I have Firefox 3.6.17, running on Vista Home Premium
Check also suspect http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions would be an extension with "Tab" in the name.
Try to test in Firefox Safe Mode, if it works, there is almost certainly an extension
feedback on whatever caused problem was be appreciated by other users when it comes time to mark item as solved.
Firefox 4 & 5 users can quickly provide assistance until the next session in Mode safe
I think that my answer was chosen by mistake, I know I wanted that I him had not posted when I saw the response from Ed (seconds or minutes apart).
See the-edmeister: The "Ask Toolbar" is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +.
