Lost all my thumb nails - new tabs open only a blank page. How to make a comeback?
The subject of support on this issue says look for a "PIN" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs with thumbnails page, but is no longer doing this, and I don't know how to fix it.
I downloaded some freeware that has changed a number of navigation options (browser by default, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Who has had all removed but then Firefox did not work well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumb nails are gone and I can't recover them or create new ones.
Help!
Cheers, Dolly
Hello
You can reset the setting for the page tab by following these instructions:
- In the URL bar, type about: config and press ENTER.
- The subject: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click on that I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
- In the search box, type "browser.newtab.url".
- Click the browser.newtab.url preference, and then click Reset. He must then change back to the default which is ' on: newtab'.
- Click OK and close all: config tab.
You can see that it works for a while, but ultimately the problem comes. In this case then I think it is likely that some malware is hijacking your browser and make changes to the settings. That's why the change was made in the first place without your permission. You said that you had deleted the free software that you have installed, but sometimes they seem to have disappeared, but in fact to leave a trace.
In this case, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit utility
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
I also suggest you do the following:
- a comprehensive analysis with your current antivirus software.
- Watch your Firefox Add-ons and remove any that you install yourself - disable or remove modules
- Look at your list of applications from Windows startup and disable anything you think might be related or suspicious look.
- Look at your list of installed Windows applications and uninstall anything that you think might be related or suspicious look.

When I open a new tab, there is a blank page. I would like to a browser to load into a new tab, instead of having to click a browser after I opened the tab.
Firefox and IE are web browsers, where Google and Bing are the search engines.
By default, Firefox has a blank page when you open a new tab, which can be changed with a few different extensions.
https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/addon/NewTabURL/
Place it just to any web page or a page of search engine as you want to see in a new tab. -
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)?

So, when I click on the Home icon at the top right of my Firefox page using my Center wheel, a new tab opens is more like
my home page. Now, nothing happens when I do this.
There is an extension or two or a combination of extensions that appear to be originally in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.

You need to understand what is the cause and disable this extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

Greetings,
If you use Firefox 28 on a 64 bit system (windows 7) when opening a new tab, the screen is blank. When you use the same version on a 32-bit system (windows xp) which opens a new tab of the screen displays 9 boxes/windows of previously visited web pages with an image of the page in the window of /. I would really like this poster on the system using windows 7 however I can't find advice or instructions on how to do this.
Thanks for any help you can provide.Hello seaview, who lets turn easily with a double click are generally true/false (Boolean) settings. Others vary a lot...
I hope it sticks!

Not sure how I did it. Downloaded clip art that added a bunch of stuff that I had to go and remove add/remove program. (stupid, stupid, stupid!) I also had to remove the yahoo toolbar. Always flying, it's the problem of the tab, a yahoo search bar and the y! on the browser bar. Driving me crazy!
4.0.60831.0 is the Silverlight plugin, there is no need to disable plugins.
A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).
If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

I think the following quote, below, for help on the page is my problem.
I have a site that I use when I click on a link in the Web site it opens a new window with the tab down. In addition, when this happens, I lose the orange rectangle FireFox, bookmarks and navigation options. How can I define FF31 so that the link opens in a new tab, and I keep all my options? I use Classic theme restaurateur 1.2.3. I also note that, in the new window, I lose the ability to use some of the addons.
I have two laptops and both are running FF31 and W7. One of them works perfectly and the other is having this problem. As far as I can tell they are both defined by the same. The only difference is that when I upgraded to FF31 they both had difference older versions of FireFox. I also read in the help forum that maybe I need to go back to FireFox 28 to accomplish what I am trying to accomplish.
I noticed that when I'm going under: config that the version of FF that does not work unless options compared to the version that works. An example would be that the working version has 'browser.tabs.onTop' where, on the other computer laptop is missing.
> > > open new windows in a new tab instead: this option controls whether links from other applications or from web pages which request to open them in a new window opens in a new window or a new tab in the most recent window.
Note: If you have chosen to open pages in new tabs, Firefox will ignore this option and opens a new window from a link if the page author specified that the new window must have a specific size, because some pages cannot be displayed correctly to a specific size. < < <Thanks in advance for any help,
YetoYou can override how the links are opened through the browser.link.open_newwindow.override preference.
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
- 1: active tab; 2: new window; 3: new tab;
Use it for links opened via JavaScript.

I leave my computer running all night. I have only my open e-mail tab and when I get up in the am, another tab is open, and it could say "sponsor" on the tab and in the screeen say difficulty your slow problem now or a new game, he wants to lower the load. Its boring. I'm ready to remove Firefox and return to Internet exployer if is not not raise that garage. Ive ran security checks and I do not have a virus. What is causing this new tab will appear?
Most likely, this is caused by unwanted software on your computer. In past discussions (e.g., How can I keep Firefox open a window on the website tofushopnews.com), users have discovered a new folder DSite containing a program that runs ads in your default browser, and a scheduled task listed in Windows Task Scheduler that runs this program at the same time each day. This was associated with the "Update for Zip opener" and 'Update for the Codecs' (and probably other programs), but may require manual removal.
To find the path to the unwanted program, try looking here:
Windows XP: Start button > [all] the programs > Accessories > system tools > scheduled tasks
Windows 7: Start button > Control Panel > system and security > administrative tools > Task Scheduler

How to set the options on the tab to open new tabs always like a blank page?
Hello everyone. I installed a translation program (Babylon), and during this time I already uninstalled. But since then, create a new tab, every time, it opens with the Babylon search engine. How can I remove this? I already checked the options on this topic, but none is appropriate for this, I'm afraid.
Thank you.
There seems to be several parts in Babylon
- An application installed on the system - uninstall via adding programs
- A firefox extension - tools > Modules > identification of Babylon and uninstalling
- Inscriptions on the subject: config which is by filtering on Babylon and right-click on each one and reset.
- Stuff in lecteurC - very little claire
- The registry - entries uninstall should fix, but there are tools

Thank you

[email protected]The pref browser.newtab.url is no longer supported in Firefox (41 +), so it is no longer possible to put the new tab through this preference page.
You can watch this extension to set the new tab page:
- New tab Override: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
You can set the new tab URL via Options/preferences of the extension on the subject: addons page.
You can watch this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.
- New tab homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Restorer of classic theme includes this feature as well.
In current versions of CTR (1.3.9+), you will find "the Url of the page new tab ' in the section tabs (1).You can use pages like these:
- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- for a blank use Subject: vacuum
- for a Super Start use topic: superstart
- Use the URL of a web page
See the topic: on page for available on the pages.

It's getting really boring I've barely recovered since the different and boring bugs in V26. I have disabled the automatic update as I'm hacked off the coast on ff not start correctly and crashing can quit smoking after every single update.
Such a bug which appeared around V26 was that a website (http://www.thecourier.co.uk/) blocking firefox. Just this site and just on my Mac and only on firefox. I can't reproduce the error on WinXP, Ubuntu or the computer of someone I know with the same version. the site blocks firefox without active plugins or addons, and this is what made me install NoScript first - that is, to block a JQuery? a script that was the cause of the crash.
V27 bugs:
Update Firefox 27 is to lose my tabs in the history after a restart, he remembers the favicons but displays 'new tab' in each and shows a blank page if clicked, thus freeing the favicon and history etc. There is nothing in the windows recently closed, etc..also, when of each restart my skin (Cotton Candy Swirl) is not displayed correctly: the title bar appears in gray Apple Mac and the lower bar shows pink massif.
When Firefox I: > > quitting smoking, it crashes (as can be shown in the details of the Mac error report). This forces me to open the Task Manager and the strength to quit smoking.
lose my history tabs after a reboot.
> What are the preferences of the history in your options menu?
'new tab' in each and shows blank page if clicked, thus freeing the favicon and history etc. There is nothing in recently closed windows etc.
-> by default, the tabs do not load until they are clicked on, this can be changed in the menu options on the tab.
-> in the recently closed window menu there are the features that should be lit to make it work:
Go to about: config and check these settings
type: sessionstore and right-click-> reset everything is bold, especially the browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo and the browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo.If it repeats, try Safe Mode to ensure that it is not a plug-in that affect this and issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode
For the swirl of cotton candy, please disable this or reinstall to ensure that it is up-to-date.
And this time, please try: Firefox crashes or does not - how to fix
We work on improving in all versions of Firefox. If you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know.
