I want to put every new tab to open it in Google which is my homepage, how do I do this?
When I opened a new tab I want to open my homepage to Google. I can't change that unlike IE that allows me to change this settings what ever I choose. How I put all my tabs in google? Instead of coming as a blank page (untitled)?
Install one of the following:

can not put a new tab to open the default google search
I found these instructions:
In case you need more than one step by step:(1) in a new tab, type or paste about: 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:
Page thumbnails (default) => about:newtab Blank tab => about:blank Built-in Firefox home page => about:home Any other page => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked.
However as per the attached screen shot, I do not have a preference "browser.newtab.url"
Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like 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.
Note, 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.

I'VE BEEN USING FIREFOX ON MY LAPTOP WINDOWS 7. YESTERDAY, I UPDATED FIREFOX AS PROMPTED. MY NEW TABS HAVE PREVIOUSLY SET UP TO OPEN TO MY HOME PAGE, I DID IT BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF FIREFOX ONLINE. WHEN I WENT TO RE CELA INSTRUCTIONS OF: CONFIG WERE ALWAYS ON DISPLAY. SO I RESET FIREFOX. I WENT BACK TO: CONFIG OF EACH BROWSER. NEWTAB. URL (I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, I DID COPY AND PASTE) AND PRESS ENTER ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS, BUT NOTHING NO SE PAST. NO BOX SHOWS UP TO EDIT AS BEFORE. THE WORLD OF IDEAS. Thank you
This has changed because the malware often attacked this setting. If you want to define your own new tab page in Firefox 41 +, you can use this extension:
https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
After installing the 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).

my new tabs are opened white instead of having my first sites how to fix this?
I tried to drag and drop from the bookmark list but that opens just I have drugs it there instead of giving me the places of the small window of most visited sites. I don't know why it happened all of a sudden.
You can check the value of the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set it to about: newtab to get the new default page with 9 tiles.

I want a new tab to open as my homepage not several pages
I want a new tab to open with my google homepage and not several pages that are of no interest to me. It seems if you switch the off option only get you a blank page. If you use add functionality that it doesn't now. This 'upgrade' is a nuisance.
Home page in a new tab
There are several ways suggested to do, but the easier for many users has been this add-on-> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tabAdditional question/comment
Paddy71 said: "If you use add functionality it doesn't now."If you are referring to the research in the Add-ons Manager (Firefox button > Modules or Tools > Modules) this problem seems to have corrected yesterday afternoon. If you are referring to something else, you will need to give more detail on what you're trying to do, the steps your are taking, what are the results of your actions, and what you expect as results.

How to open a new tab and opens automatically to my homepage
When I open a new tab, it goes straight to the snapdo.com. How can I change this so when I opened a new tab it opens directly to google without having to type in, or clicking on a bookmark button?
There is a setting for new tabs...
(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
Note: when changing to Google, use a full URL ultimate as https://www.google.com/ - if you use a partial URL, there will be a few seconds while Google Firefox redirects this ultimate URL.
Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?
Two traps:
- If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on the addons page:
Tools menu > Modules > in the left column click on Extensions
- If the amendment works but at the next startup is back at Google, you might 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.
A little luck?

How to set the new tab to open a homepage
After the recent update to version 44.0.1 I lost the ability to open a new tab and open the new tab homepage. Someone can help me.
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.
