  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?

• When I open a new tab, a search page is coming instead of a blank page. Browser.newtab.URL is correct. What now?

  My browser.newtab.url = about: blank was successfully set. I always get a search page of Bing referring to "express files. I uninstalled the urging of files specifically, but the page always reappears on a new page. I also checked the Add-ons in firefox, but nothing is there

  You can use one of them to start Firefox in safe mode:

  • On Windows, hold down the SHIFT key while starting Firefox with a double click on the shortcut to the desktop Firefox
  • On Mac, hold the Options key when starting Firefox
  • Help > restart with disabled modules
  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/safe+mode

  If it works in Firefox Safe mode and then disable all extensions (Tools > Modules > Extensions) and then try to find out who is causing by allowing an extension at a time until the problem reappears.

  Close and restart Firefox after each change through "file > exit ' (Mac: ' Firefox > leave";) Linux: "file > exit ')

• Browser.newtab.URL was OK but suddenly stopped opening a new tab on this page, it is white instead - why?

  Browser.newtab.URL has been set to my homepage and worked for centuries. Now, suddenly, it opens on a white page. setting of browser.newtab.URL is not chanhed - it is always set to the home page, but does not open it.

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on 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.

  Notice, 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.
  • 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.

• 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.

  Hello

  Installed some crapware today and have trovi.com as the page by default when I open a new tab. It makes me incredibly angry. What is even worse, he has changed the browser.newtab.url and when I removed the config it STILL load the same page.

  I tried to enter a new configuration, it does not work.

  Please help me. Do I have to reinstall the browser? Why can't I change the value?

  I'm on firefox version 42.

  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.

• 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.

  This has been fixed in version 14 and more.

• Lost gone Browser.newtab.URL lack moved cannot be found in all: config and a plugin is not a solution

  I upgraded to 41.0 FF and can not find the browser.newtab.url about: config option!

  Ah sorry I found it today in this icon of the gear in the form of the top right of the new tab page (see the blank page).

• 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.

  I tried to change it to google.com , but it will not change. The string above gives me a blank page powered by google.

  I did a scan special with Norton Internet Security, which has identified a number of things that he had to get 'fixed '. After getting things fixed, I was able to change the string of browser.newtab.url without any problem. So, no matter what the problem was before, it is now gone.

• When you open a new tab, a web page is opened automatically. How to prevent this?

  What is the value of pref browser.newtab.url if check you on the topic: config page through the address bar?

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config

  See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites

• 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:

• exceptions list sites authorized to load the images, (permisions.sqlite?) is cleaned out of Firefox, or when I clear recent history. How to prevent this?

  My exception list for sites that are allowed to load images, (permissions.sqlite in the profile folder, I think) is allowed in release of Firefox, or when I clear recent history. These images remain blocked during the session. I never provide exceptions for cookies or pop-ups. I deleted the site preferences box and the other 2 boxes in the data area of the settings menu history, but the list is always cleared out. I've never had this problem until about a week ago and heading FF since 0.8 version.
  It's 12 FF, under Win XP.

  If you use a software like CCleaner cleaning then check the settings in the Firefox application.

  It is also possible that the permissions.sqlite is corrupted, then you can try to delete this file and let Firefox to create a new copy to see if that helps.

  • Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.
  • Do not use "Clear recent history" to delete 'Cookies' and 'Site preferences.

  Compensation of the "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, windows pop up, installation of software and passwords.
