New tab reset does not
I have a hijacking my new tab search engine and tried to go in the About: config, but every time I try and change the browser.newtab.url that will not change. Can someone help me solve this problem, I suspect that it is malware.
There are two ways to interpret your description:
- you right-click > reset but instead of changing about: newtab (default setting), it remains the value to something
- the preference is defined: newtab but Firefox shows a different page
Assuming that this is the second case, you can have an unwanted extension that is the substitution of your new tab page. Try this:
Disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.
Typically, 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.
That help return you to the page of the new normal tab?
P.S., Chrome also has a page of extensions, someone in this menu of '3 '.

The other day, I noticed that my search box stop working. Even when I go to options and click on search, it will not be open to the top of the tab to the search options. Today, I noticed that when I right click on a link, it brings up a long list of options, but the only one I want to work is the "Open link in a new tab." Unfortunately, it does not work. I ran Spybot, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender and what malware, they found, it does not solve the problem. I even tried Firefox in Safe Mode and updated, but still questions. Any help would be appreciated.
Hi, this is probably because something on your system has crushed all providers default search in firefox. to recover it please download and reinstall firefox to https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ on top of your existing version.
Since it is a behavior often caused by adware on a system, please also run a scan complete of your different system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner.

Could you try Mode without failure of Firefox? It is a standard diagnostic tool in order to avoid interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.
You can restart Firefox in Mode safe help

In the dialog box, click on 'Start mode safe' (not Reset)

When I opened a new tab page, the sites most used flash for a microsecond then disappear, leaving the page to the search as it's always looked. I looked for the icon of the PIN and couldn't find one, so I tried dragging a bookmark on it and I was just to the bookmark page. I have not deleted the cache and is not complete either. Any ideas?

Maybe some Add on that you have changed this feature of Firefox which opens now all tabs in a different page. Here's what you need to do.

How to open a new tab that does not replace a tab open?
When this site talks about a method of 'open a new tab' and I use it, what I get is a new tab which is superimposed on (replace) a tab already open. It is not my goal. I would like to be able to open a new adjacent tab, which I can do by clicking on the + sign at the end of all open tabs. I want a shortcut for this.
This has happened
Each time Firefox opened
== I followed any option shortcut to "open a new tab.
You can open a new empty tab with the Ctrl + T shortcut key.
