• Firefox keeps opening my new tab like Yahoo 4.0.1, can I change it?

  It opens well, right to my home page, but after that when I try to open a new tab, it opens as 'Yahoo! Search - search the Web'. I want to open a blank page, but I don't know how to change it, I tried NewTabURL 2.2.2 but even that did not work. Is anyone here know what I can do to change that?

  This will be caused by an add-on. Check all Yahoo of Add-ons to see if they have added to that. The add-on of the net assistant gel is another who will do the Yahoo Search to appear on new tabs. If you have this add-on, you can uninstall it.

  If you do find what the module is the cause, the procedure described in the following link will help you identify the guilty - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

• How can I stop addons to declare that they are updated whenever I have start firefox by opening a new tab for eah addon?

  After firefox updated all addons some of them has opened a new tab after restart. This tab has reported that each addon has been updated.
  But these tabs keep opening at startup, hiding my homepage and gets boring.

  I solved many of them downgrading to an older version, but I can't trouble the Tabmix more tab than guard leader here:
  http://tmp.garyr.NET/version_update2.htm?version=0.4.1.1pre.130722a
  Even without this downgrade, which in fact lead to another page that tells a different version (the one I had demoted to)

  EDIT. I wiped out the config to restore it piece by piece.
  Everything is now resolved.

• When you press the button Home, Firefox instantly opens a new tab the start page wth, how can I stop the extra tab to open?

  If I hit the Home button on one of them I have several tabs open, Firefox opens a new tab just next door with the Firefox start page. I searched in the options and am unable to find why this happens or how to stop it.

  If this isn't a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in this tab.

• 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.

  Uninstall the toolbar Ask and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask and Firefox toolbar that prevents the opening of new tabs.

  There are a few places to check for the Ask toolbar:

  • Check the control panel Windows for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
  • Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  Sounds that you have installed a Persona.

  You can uninstall your current Persona and go back to the default theme (Tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

  Hello andy33,

  I think that one of your custom extension/add-ons is causing this problem.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  When your Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  Thank you.
