• When I open the Firefox browser, as well as my homepage of opening, a new tab opens in the same time, how can I stop this please?

  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)?

• How to open a new tab from the window with a single white (or other)?

  I'm embarrassed to ask what should be a simple question. I want to open a new window without containing all of the tabs in my homepage - a single tab, empty, or Mozilla or Google or something. I'm tired of having to close manually the 30 - something tabs in my homepage.

  Several solutions for this.
  (I am not sure you are trying to do or to prevent).

  • change what's in your homepage
    • set to open only a couple of tabs and one of those who make a blank page
      tabs are separated by the vertical bar that is vertical (possibly split) symbol |
  • Open your previous tabs instead of the whole home page
  • change the options to open new sites in a new window instead of a new tab

  • How to set the home page
  • Tab Preferences and settings

• When I open a new tab, it me linked to a page at random GitHub talk html5-why?

  This is the page it opened -http://nickpjason.github.io/

  What is malware, or is this page related to Mozilla?

  I'm glad you found what was causing the problem. Can you post the name of the extension that caused the problem and mark this message as the solution so that users can quickly find what extension to remove if they have the same problem?

  Unfortunately, some extensions are known to cause disturbances of the navigation of the user experience. For example, see the article: delete a toolbar which took in charge your search Firefox or the home page. At the end of the day, installation of extensions is like installing other applications on your computer - do not forget to get a reliable source and remove it quickly if it isn't something suspicious. There are other extensions to backup Firefox as well in case something irreparable happens, see FEBE and OPIE.

• I just noticed that I'm no longer connected to my google toolbar since my last update for Firefox 7.0.1

  I click on the sign in link and enter my username and password and it appears in the process, but I'm not logged in. It does not give me the error messages. Guys I want to go back to Firefox 5.0, because all new versions have been shit. I'm really tired of the upgrade once a week to see that something new is done. If you can't take the time to actually fix something, PLEASE don't make me your pig to India.

  Google broke their extension of Google toolbar around 17/09/2011, by changing the address of connection to their 'accounts'. If you want to continue to use the Google toolbar and you will need to change to the new address, because I doubt if Google will fix this extension - they decided to not support the versions of Firefox 5 + with a new version of the Google toolbar.

  • Open your profile folder.
    https://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/profiles#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile
  • With closed Firefox, open the folder \extensions\ in your profile folder, then find this folder and open it.
    {3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}
  • Then, you will need to open the \lib\ folder to view the file toolbar.js . Open this file in a simple text editing program.
  • Change all occurrences of www.google.com/accounts accounts.google.com - using the Search in the text editor feature - (I counted 15 times address in the file toolbar.js) .
  • Save the modified file. Then launch Firefox.

• When you open a new window, it automatically loads the last content pop up (?) and I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

  I don't know if they are technically pop-up windows (for example, if you perform a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new window of priceline.com with the search results), but that happens with Blocker on or off. Other examples are a little info to a financial site window or .edu, which opens a session is about to expire, or answer a FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows have an address bar or view a URL). In any case, once these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of this "pop-up". Whenever he does, I'm unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in this window.

  How can I fix it? What I want is to open a new window which is empty, not load the previous contents.

  No, I just realized that I was holding Command-Shift-N rather than command-N

• where is my most used windows displays when I open a new tab by clicking on the +?

  When I used to click on the tab + one already open to open a new tab that he used to open a display of windows (not tabs) my most used sites and I could simply click on the window to directly join the debates. Now I get only a blank page and the address bar empty. I am very unhappy that this facility has disappeared. How can I get it back? I have used many.

  Thank you

  I won't be using Bing intentionally. It seems that there is no other choice. It keeps popping up.
