I want to open my new tab of my homepage, not not the tiles or white page
I've upgraded to Firefox 41.01 and now when I open a new tab I have only the choice of tiles (which I don't want) or a completely blank page. I want the new tab to open my home page, not the tiles suggested or a blank page.
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?

I want the homepage to search Google to open when I open a new tab instead of the default generic search box. How can I change what opens when I open a new tab?
Why not use the built-in engines, Google is one of them, and it is the default search engine. You can have the results of your search automatically open in a new tab, and your links on the Google results page each open in a new tab.

Is there a way to bring back the "Open a new tab" option by right clicking on the tab?
I just upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (6.0). Yesterday he informed that an upgrade to Firefox 5. (something) was available and asked if I wanted to spend. I went for it. However, I had not used since then until today. Now when I opened it today it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to version 6.0. Without hesitation, I went for him also.
Although this version is pretty, it's a little weird to use. Previously, whenever I tried to open a new tab, I right click on one of the tabs (current tab or another tab) and after a right-click, he had the opportunity to open a new tab , as well as a few other options. Now there is no option. There is the button to open a new tab, but what happens if I want to open a link in a new tab by clicking right on it? Even the option to open in a new window is also absent.
Is there a way to bring back these settings/options previous tab? If so, how?
PS in my bookmarks bar, when I click on a bookmark icon, it has the same options/settings as he had previously in the last version I used (last version I used was 3.something; while I had updated to version 5 something I had not used except to open the browser when it asked me to upgrade to version 6.0). Options on the right by clicking the bookmark icon are:
Open
Open in a new tab
Open in a new window
New bookmark...
New folder...
New separator
Cup
Copy
Dough
Delete
PropertiesI would also like to mention here that I know shortcut keys; so please don't waste your time trying to help me in this way. Thank you.
# The tab bar is a regular toolbar in recent versions of Firefox, so you get the normal of a toolbar context menu if you right-click the tab bar.
You can double-click an empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab if you do not want to use the new tab button.
You can drag a link on the new tab button to open this link in a new tab.
You can also drag the new button tab on another toolbar, if you'd better like that.
Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize" or "Firefox > Options > toolbars." -

Everytime I open a new tab, I'm greeted by this page
http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42
Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.
Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.
A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.
Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?
Hello
If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.
In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:
- In the address bar, type Subject: config
and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:
- (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
- Menu
> Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general
Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»
Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.
I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.
I have attached a picture of your understanding.
I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.
user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.
- Background info see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.
In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.
Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs
- Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
- Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
- topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc
You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).
It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.
First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start FirefoxThe second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you start Firefox.

When I opened a new tab navigation bar is not selected. How can I fix?
I looked at other issues, but I couldn't find a solution for this. When I opened a new tab, the navigation/URL bar is not selected, and I can't just type to search or enter a URL. I have to move my mouse and select it. This is quite annoying because I use Firefox for years and he was always selected by default. Also, I have problems with my default browser. It seems to have opted for Google, Yahoo, and I could not change it back. (I'll post another question for this shortly after searching the answer more).
Thanks for the help in advance.

I am running Win 7 Pro 64 on a laptop HP 4530. My desktop unit (home built) opens a new tab with a blank page. I would like to open each with a specific search engine.
I guess that the order should be amended, so that the keyword. URL
and setting the home page in Firefox are last. After resolving all all Bing and StartNow
things. You may need to restart the system after you complete these Panel
changes and restart Firefox after (sometimes necessary configuration changes
