New setting tab guard reset to Google, how do stay empty?

I searched for a way to make my new tabs currently open to Google, opened vacuum instead. I found the way described on this website, which is to go: config and change the URL of the browser.newtab.url to about: blank. Then, I closed Firefox, it was completely closed in the Task Manager and then restarted. I then tried to open a new tab, and it always automatically opens Google on the new tab. When I rechecked the URL of the browser.newtab.url, he was back to having a value of chrome://quick_start/content/index.html.

I don't know if that makes a difference or not, but I Chrome open throughout this whole process. Chrome, however, is not my default browser.

Hello

Use it Firefox ' chrome: / / "Protocol to access its own internal files and also access the files extensions, so has nothing to do with Google Chrome.

   https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Chrome

So, it looks like a problem with an extension.

Launch Firefox in Mode safe mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

It will be useful.

  • Removable shelf guard reset itself! Will not stay! Help!

    Hello

    I have a HP eStation 510a and the detachable tablet will not stay long enough to do something with it. As soon as it turns on it immediately turns off and then turns back on. I followed the steps to do a factory reset on it and successfully completed, but it still does the same thing. The printer itself works fine, it's just the tablet which is defective.

    The preference of browser.newtab.url has been added to Firefox 13. Over the years, he was repeatedly attacked by malware. From Firefox 41, the preference can be changed using an interface programming or, in simpler terms, an extension.

    For example, you can use this extension:

    https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/

    After installing the extension, 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 override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    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.

    Success?

    Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

  • How to stay with a clear new tab and not the search page of Yahoo every time?

    Years, I used Firefox with claire of new tabs and achieved this in the menu Options, general tab, display an empty Page - and the next line, remains empty. This has always worked, so far. Today, each new tab navigation takes me directly to the Yahoo Search page, which I certainly don't want.

    So, still today, I then passed to the 'Search' tab (in the Options menu) and removed all search engines from the list, including the option checked "Yahoo." However, each new tab again takes me to a "Yahoo" search page

    How can I stop this now and forever?

    I look forward to your solution.

    Thanks a lot for your help, Mark.

    You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab 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

    The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    (3) click on the back of FF button, who took me to the new tab page so I could click on some other thumbnail.

    No, you can no longer use the previous button back to the topic: newtab page if you have opened a page by clicking on one of the slots on this page.

  • How can I get the default for the new tab page when there is no improved/classic/empty choises when I click on the gear icon.

    When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?

    To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to about:config in Firefox
    2. Locate the browser.newtab.url string
    3. Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab

    This should change the new tab page.

    Notes:

    • Set the about:newtab to get the page of the new classic tab
    • Set the about:home to get the default home page
    • Set the about:blank to get the blank page
