new tab opens my home page, but I want to open the more visited sites

new tab opens my home page, but I want to open the most visited sites. Ad-aware messed up the settings.

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to 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.

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

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.

  • I want to put my new tab of my home page every time, I did it before you follow your guide, but since my new update works this custom

    I'VE BEEN USING FIREFOX ON MY LAPTOP WINDOWS 7. YESTERDAY, I UPDATED FIREFOX AS PROMPTED. MY NEW TABS HAVE PREVIOUSLY SET UP TO OPEN TO MY HOME PAGE, I DID IT BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS OF FIREFOX ONLINE. WHEN I WENT TO RE CELA INSTRUCTIONS OF: CONFIG WERE ALWAYS ON DISPLAY. SO I RESET FIREFOX. I WENT BACK TO: CONFIG OF EACH BROWSER. NEWTAB. URL (I THINK THAT'S WHAT HE SAID, I DID COPY AND PASTE) AND PRESS ENTER ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS, BUT NOTHING NO SE PAST. NO BOX SHOWS UP TO EDIT AS BEFORE. THE WORLD OF IDEAS. Thank you

    This has changed because the malware often attacked this setting. If you want to define your own new tab page in Firefox 41 +, 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).

    I tried with tools > options > general and Firefox Start typing and choosing some options I chose before when I had the same problem. But rather than win my old home page with a central part that resembled this image http://www.googleplusblog.it/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/mozilla-firefox-start-page-1.jpg , I get a google home page. last 2 days I was able to restore my old homepage, but now nothing. I also tried with reset firefox, still nothing, just had to get my addonns installed it again. I liked my old homepage visually and really want to come back. In the past I have had similar problems but had it fixed and now I don't know what to do.

    Hello Vidabg, you cannot restore this old homepage. It was not maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time that the search between google and mozilla contract was in place, which now is no longer the case. the new default homepage that uses firefox now is Subject: House.

  • c 36. will not open the link in a new tab, opens the tab I'm on

    by clicking on a link or a bookmark will not open a new tab, it opens on the tab I'm already. Have already tried tools/options/tabs/check the windows open again in a new tab instead. It does not work.

    Hi, Firefox doesn't. You need to right click > open link in a new tab. Otherwise, click the mouse wheel. Or, hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the left.

    There are also modules such as Tab Mix Plus,or bookmarks only, try to open bookmarks in new tab.

    Hope that helps.

    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.

    If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.
