New tab opens with the Bing search engine
So I'm having exactly the same problem like this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/959280
In short, I updated firefox and now the new tabs always open with a bing search engine. The url that keeps opening is: search.conduit.com/?ctid=CT3312375 & octid = EB_ORIGINAL_CTID & SearchSource = 69 & CUI = & SSPV = EB_SSPV & lay = 1 & UM = 2 & UP = SP634F83D9 - 5B 86-4960 - A131 - 4A6C35FD668C
I am convinced that this is not a problem with any add ons. I disabled everything possible that could affect it.
I tried to use the suggestion of the top answer but in the subject: config section, I don't have a preference searchinnewtabeenabledbyuser name. I looked at all the others 'newtab' preferences related names and did what the original fold says (wrong type in the value section) but it did not work! There's a name preference called browser.newtab.url by the url that opens each new tab as the "value", but whenever I try to change it, it is just for this url.
So, I'd appreciate it if someone could help me. I hate Bing! Even more now that they pulled this shit.
could go you firefox > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of this page and paste them here in an answer on the forum? This could give us an idea of what's going on...

Everytime I open a new Firefox window, the new window opens to the page of hope (as I want him), but then a tab opens with the new window. I want Firefox to stop doing this. When I open a new window I want just the window to open it. I don't know how to solve this problem I've known idea how I did that happen. First of all, it happened when I hit Ctrl + N to open a new window, but I did not hit the "N" itself. I pressed one of the other keys around the "N" and this issue has started.
It's quite strange!

I seem to have been recently infected with Ask search engine
Everytime I open a new tab by default to this search engine. I want to reset so this new tab displays thumbnails of recently visited sites
I followed the instructions of your Support Web site using about: config and newtab but preference under browser.newtab.url looks correct on the subject: newtab
Yet the new tab always default to the search engine
How can I reset to the thumbnails?
TKS
You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
You can open the topic: config page through the address bar and search Prefs that refer to ask.com.
You can restore the default user set prefs ("BOLD") via the context menu.Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

This problem has only just begun and I don't know why. When I click the icon to open the Firefox browser, my homepage tab opens and another new tab opens to the sides of my Home Page tab. I checked and none are tube not characters in my address of the home page.
This seems to take place (e.g., Firefox opens my home page AND a new tab at startup - unsolved).
In case one of your extensions is in question, could test you mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help
Help > restart with disabled modules (Flash and other plugins still works)
In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)
Any difference when using the Home key or open a new window (Ctrl + n)?

Force new tabs open to the right of the current tab
Hi all
Is it possible to have the new tabs open to the right of the current tab, you are, as opposed to the default which is to the right of the last tab open?
I know that it's automatic when you click on a link in the tab in the course, but would be very happy to be able to do this for new tabs.
Thank you!
BarbMaybe watch Tab Mix Plus.

So, when I click on the Home icon at the top right of my Firefox page using my Center wheel, a new tab opens is more like
my home page. Now, nothing happens when I do this.
There is an extension or two or a combination of extensions that appear to be originally in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You need to understand what is the cause and disable this extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.

New tabs open to the right of the current page, not extreme right?
I liked using the new tab button, which disappeared from the most recent version, I had to go back to 38 to find it and put it back on my toolbar. However, I was not able to set the way in which the new tab opens, next to the page that I am. Previously, if I clicked on the new tab button, a new tab would open at the far right of the tabs. I tried to fix it by going to about: config, changing the browser.tabs.insertrelatedaftercurrent to 'false' to 'true' as was the fix in 2013. Alas, it doesn't now and I want to change it back. In addition, the new tab icon/button is gone for good in the new versions?
If your new tab button opens a tab in the middle of your tabs, it could be a feature of an extension related to tab. Some of them, such as Tab Mix Plus and Tab Utilities have so many parameters it can be a challenge to sort through all of them. You can check your extensions and check if they have an Options button to tweak their settings, on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then go through the list on the right side.

Cannot get new url of the tab open with the homepage (Google).
After the upgrade, I cannot get rid of 12 boxes (Facebook, Youtube, etc.) on the new tab or make open with my homepage (Google). I tried two different newtaburl add-on, uninstall and reinstall Firefox and the directives of the object: subject: config, browser.newtab.url, etc. I can't even scratch try this approach. I can't get the 12 bar blues.
Well, I know I'm repeating something you've read before, but just for completeness (and also, I suspect this isn't built-in Firefox page):
(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered
(3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:
- (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
- Blank tab = > subject: empty
- Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
- Any other page = > full URL of the page
Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?
Some traps:
If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system.
Firefox if allows you to save your changes, but he doesn't know: one of your extensions may be the substitution of her. You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click on Extensions
If the modification works during your session, but during the next startup is return to the unwanted page: you could have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save.
A little luck?

When a new tab is opened, it is filled with white cells that resemble the browser history. Each white box like a PIN in an icon grey at the top left and X into an icon grey at the top right. The bottom has a white bar indicating the name of the site, like "google calendar".
New tab Page is a new feature in Firefox. You have not asked a question however. Here is some information on the new tab Page:

Hello, all first please go to firefox > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.). also, go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from here and do a full scan of your system with the security such as the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleanertools.

How to get new tabs open to the correct home page?
When I open new tabs, they just go to a Google search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar, but as soon as he finished to load Google it blanks what I typed and going on the Google site. In other words, "in white" new tabs do not open the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How to change that? In other words, how can I get the tabs to stop opening to the Google and start to open my home page or favorite screen? Thank you!
You can change the pref browser.newtab.url on the topic: config page and set to the desired page to open.
See also this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):
If you do not keep the changes after a reboot or have problems with preferences, see:
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode without failure.
