I want that my new tabs to go to google not being as stupid android version

I want my new tab to go to google. What you did is horrible. Now, I have to click twice to access google in a new tab. I've always had my tab set: config - browser.newtab.url; https:www.Google.com
But it is replaced by something new that you didn't like android one which I also hate.
Please HELP me solve so new tab goes to google.
Thank you

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 extension classic restaurateur theme: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

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

Setting up substitute again tab

After installing this extension, 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 override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

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.

Success?

Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

  • How to set preferences so that open new tabs to the same page that activates when the command-T has been affected?

    By opening a new tab, the default tab opens to thumbnails based on recent history. The Safari, I want the new tab to open * to the same page, as was active when command-T was hit *. What are the specific actions, to set the default value (preference), new pages to open 'same page '? ('Same page' is check in Safari preferences box).

    Note, I've sailed available Support of Mozilla and using about: config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears empty (stop followed recent history for this purpose).

    Note, most importantly, I found this article of Support Forum, which, although written challenge, gave me a temporary solution:

      * https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
    

    (The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to command-click the icon 'Reload current page' in the url/address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window).

    However, I would like to define this as a preference permanent and would ask someone give me a solution. Cheers, teacher

    You can't, that's why I suggested the modules above. There is no option in the user interface or preferably hidden in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab browser.newtab.url can only be set to a fixed address, what address is to be opened in the current tab.

    Are the only two built-in methods to duplicate a tab:

    1. Hold down the Option key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    2. Hold down the command key and click the reload of the address bar.

  • where is open links in new tab option because I do not want to right-click?

    I use kubuntu 12,04 Fire fox 20. I want to open links in a new tab without clicking right I used to which is why I can't now?

    Moreover, Firefox offers you also the possibility to open a link in a new tab using the:

    • CTRL + click on the link (Mac: command + click)
  • I want a new tab to open to Google. Newtaburl in all change: config does not work.

    Same as title.

    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.

  • by default the new tab opens to a page not available

    Greetings, everytime I open a new tab, the page always headed "chrome://quick_start/content/index.html" which would be fine except that the page seems not to exist, I think it may have been hijacked by a "update module false" while my mother used my laptop, anyway I tried to remove all traces of the update and cancel all changes However I can't seem to get this right, even if it is to direct the new tab to a new site... for example google.com that would be helpful, thanks in advance! Very much appreciated.

    Install this extension which will reset the NewTab URL the default, among other pref resets, it does.

  • How to change which opens a new tab when: automatic configuration does not work?

    Hello
    For some unknown reason, my new tab changed from google to a weird yahoo one today. I can't find how to restore it back even after I did google my homepage and default search engine. I checked online and saw that maybe I could fix things with the car: config but I can not even open. When I try a search engine opens. Any help would be appreciated.

    ^:
    I use it on: on the home page and use a mozilla.cfg file to do this automatically for each Firefox profile and use this file in every version of Firefox, so it's always close at hand.

  • How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab? Why have I not of "buttons" to pin a top site of the page tab?

    When I open a new tab, NO best sites don't show up... shows just a search engine box. I have Firefox 33.0. Why is there no 'pin' button when I opened a new page? How to make the top sites page appears when I open a new tab?

    Here is some additional information on the configuration of the 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?

    Some traps:

    If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.

    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 the addons page:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons > in the left column click on Extensions

    If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is leads to: you could 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.

  • In Firefox 5, when I opened a new tab, Firefox doesn't switch to it immediately (unlike previous versions). How to restore this setting?

    When you open a new tab Firefox remains on the old tab and does not switch to the new. I could not fing where correct this (in tools)

    Ah, I see. As far as I know, this behavior is not subject to a preference of the user. My best guess is that an extension or plugin interferes. To test this theory, you can try to use mode without failure of Firefox:

  • When I open a new tab, the back button does not work on the second page, I discover - never the second page, regardless of the site.

    When I opened a new tab - or when I first open a browser - as soon as I go to a second page, I can't go back to the first. Thus, for example, I opened a new tab. I go to a news site. I click on a title. I can not then go back to the first page of the new site. If I go back to the first page manually (by typing the url, or by opening a bookmark) and then click on the same heading, I'll be able to go back.

    The inability to return only ever happens on the second page opens in a new tab or window. At any time, I can go back as normal - but the first page I was on that tab / in this window is erased from history.

    This isn't something that's happened only with FF4, either. I first noticed a couple of weeks, but I upgraded shortly after, assuming it was a bug that would set the new browser. But it's always like that. He still refuses to back the second page of the first.

    This problem may be caused by an extension (McAfee SiteAdvisor) that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the Add-ons is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

  • 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.
