New open tab is no longer my Home Page
Hello
I set Firefox to open on my homepage when you open a new tab setting 'browser.newtab.url' to
'https://www.google.co.uk/'.
This used to work, and recently it has stopped working. I use Lubuntu
Does anyone have any idea why this would have stopped working?
Thank you very much
nictu.
The pref browser.newtab.url is no longer supported in Firefox 41 and later, so you can no longer use this to set the new tab 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 parameter URL new tab through Options/preferences of the extension on the subject: addons page.
Look at this extension to use the homepage:
- New tab homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
Restorer of classic theme includes this feature as well.
In the version 1.3.9 CTR you can find the "new tab page url" in the window tabs (1).
You can use these special pages for the new tab page or use the URL of a web page.
the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
- Super Start, you can use topic: superstart

If I click on the + to open a tab, it happens to a browser window which I don't want. I've changed the 'home page' what I want, which doesn't seem to work, even when I restarted Firefox.
How can I change the screen that is displayed when I select a new tab? Thank you very much in advance for your help!
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.

How to restore the previous tabs while keeping a blank home page?
Firefox updated itself randomly today and some settings changed. I always restore the tabs that I've used, and whenever I open a new tab it would show a blank page. I don't know how I did it, but now I still have the options "show my windows and tabs from last time" or "show a blank page. So now when I open a new tab, it shows me little pictures of Web sites I visit frequently, but I don't want that.
So, how can I open both my previous saved tabs all the time while having a blank page when I open a new tab?
Hello, please see the following article for help in order to disable the new tab page which has been introduced in firefox 13: customize the page new tab

Hi wbricki,
You should look at this article on this specific issue and Preferences not savedarticle. It should give you all the information you need!
If this does not work:
- Enter about: config in the address bar
- Click I'll be careful, I promise you if prompted
- In the filter field, type Startup
- Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
- Delete the text string, and then click OK
- Close Firefox and reopen the window to check that it worked.
Hope this helps!

I was on the Firefox help page and tried everything that was suggested. I have yet to find a default selection value where I can put my home page to open to say 125% or a way to have it open where I don't have to enlarge each page - whenever I open it.
You can increase the chain pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx from 1,0 to 2,0 to 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of all fonts and other elements in Firefox (percentage divided by DPI, for example 150% / 96).
In current versions of Firefox this pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely.
To open the topic: config page, type Subject: config in the address bar (address) and press the 'Enter' key, as you type the url of a Web site to open a Web site.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access this page.- Use the filter at the top bar of the on: page config to more easily spot a preference.
- Preferences that have changed see the bold (user set).
- Preferences you can restore the default value or change via the context menu.

Unfortunately the suggestions that I had to correct the situation do not work. I also saw that I had a program installation Meida 383 occur when this started. I am not able to uninstall the program because Norton Antivirus automatically removed some of its parts (au_exe has been deleted).
I just checked the comments: config page and the browser.newtab.url is listed as: status = User Set. Type = String; Value = http://webmail.verizon.net/signin/
