    If Firefox is ignorant preference browser.newtab.url, the usual culprit is an extension.

    You can open the page in Firefox Add-ons using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
      firefox.exe "about:addons"

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions. Do not forget that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox, and you can learn more about them by checking their reviews on the site of the Add - ons.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any improvement?

  • Using about: config, I can not change the browser.newtab.url string.

    It reads, http://search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3301020 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = EB_SSPV & Lay = 1 & UM = 2 & UP = SPCB20E22C-9AB3-4DEE-8734-2C360269F571.

    Hi, please try to work through Remove Trovi of Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer by Malware advice.

    Note that not all programs removal allows to detect all malware, you may need to run multiple or all of them.

    After the withdrawal, you need to reset your home page and search, what you can do by running the add-on SearchReset.

    More info for reference on the page tab: for reasons of security, 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.

  • changes to browser.newtab.url about: config no longer work

    I tried the user - set the page to a new tab in everything: changing browser.newtab.url config

    I followed the suggestion of extensions to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1081409, but I have no extensions enabled. None of the other suggestions were relevant.

    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.

    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.

  • my browser.newtab.url keeps returning to the time where I change it

    I want to open my new tabs as my homepage to google, but when I change the browser.newtab.url on www.google.com , it comes back to what it was before every time I close firefox.
    Can someone help me?

    When you exit Firefox, update preferences should be saved, but there are a few possible reasons to do this fail or be ignored. Our 'How to fix preferences that will not save' technical support article explains how to investigate most of them.

    If the wrong page of the new tab is associated with an add-on or another software that you have deleted, it is possible that some of the unwanted software has been left. Let us know, in this case, we can provide additional suggestions for cleaning.

    An other problem users have reported is with utility programs such as Advanced SystemCare with protection features against changes to browser settings unwanted. Basically, they roll back any changes, necessary or not. If you use this tool or other software with a protection of homepage or navigation protection setting, you may need to disable until after you have Firefox to work the way you want.

  • When changing the "browser.newtab.url" is there a way to prevent the update address bar?

    When I change "browser.newtab.url" to about: home and open a new tab, focus is set on the address bar, not the search box on the home page of firefox. The same thing happens if I change the url to google.com or another search engine. Is it possible to avoid this.

    Hello

    The first thing I would do is follow step 6 in this document to set a static IP address: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c02817031
    When it askes for the DNS information, enter in Google DNS. Preferred DNS = DNS Alt = 8.8.4.4 8.8.8.8

    This could increase the stability of the network connection to the printer downstairs.  If this does not help, let me know what OS is on the computer causing problem, because that could cause a problem?  Other than that, you can check the quality of the signal you get form the network and see if this can be a problem.

  • Features missing from browser.newtab.url...

    I prefer the old behavior of newtab in which we could simply select a specific page for which each new tab opens automatically. I find the sight of tiles for new tabs too distracting and cluttered at worst and at best, an additional step.

    Is someone working on a solution that does not entail an extension or a plugin?

    At the risk of repeating information that you already know other sources, Firefox 41 no longer uses a preference for this address because it was constantly attacked by malware. This is a problem from the new tab page and preferences have been introduced in Firefox 13 and it was the decision on how to deal with the problem. Here in support we can help you with the Firefox we know today. If you want to suggest changes for future releases, you can submit it here:
