  I had the installer of Firefox to make it work the way I like it and the last update added "suggested sites" for new tabs. I recognize what they / you are trying to create new features, but I don't like this feature. No problem with that, but I want my standard page in return she used to load. Details are always available on: config and browser.newtab.url, but he is no more responsible for this page. I removed the details for suggested sites and now it loads a blank page with a search bar. Any suggestions?

  Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.

  Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.

  Note, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.

  You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.

• I want to open my new tab of my homepage, not not the tiles or white page

  I've upgraded to Firefox 41.01 and now when I open a new tab I have only the choice of tiles (which I don't want) or a completely blank page. I want the new tab to open my home page, not the tiles suggested or a blank page.

  41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

  Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

  • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.
  • If you want to use your new tab homepage: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
  • If you want to set another page or a completely blank page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-override/
  • If you want the cursor to move in a search box in the page: Try https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

  Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

  Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

  After installing one of these extensions, 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 replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

  New tab Override

  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.

  Custom new tab

  It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

  Success?

  Tab Mix Plus is a great add-on, I use it and love it, but it's a bit 'heavy' / large installation for just a single function. Tab Mix Plus performs several functions related to tabs and have many, many options that you can set related to tabs, including that your request.

• How can I set a url to a specific tab in AppleScript to avoid opening new tabs everytime the script is run?

  Tell application "system events".

  activate an application "Safari".

  key code 19 using the command to cmd - down 2 opened a second tab or activate it so open

  Open the location "http://example.com".

  tell the end

  It works fine as long as one of them are real

  1. the 2nd tab does not exist yet in this case it will be the 2nd tab and open the url in this place. Or...

  2 If the 2nd tab already exists, it will launch the 2nd tab and reload the page until the 2nd tab is already at the location of Web site, we want to be.

  But if you say 2 or more tabs open and you run this, if the 2nd tab the DSI not already on the url, you want it to be it will activate the 2nd tab and then open the location of the site in a new tab.

  What I want is something like

  Code 19 - key using the command down

  Set the location of the active tab for the 1 in safari request to "http://example.com".

  But this obviously doesn't work. So, how can I know Safari to use only the tabs that I said rather than open new ones every time?

  You can try something like that.

  tell application "Safari"
      if not (exists document 1) then make new document
      tell window 1
          if not (exists tab 2) then make new tab
          set current tab to tab 2
          set tab 2's URL to "http://www.google.com"
      end tell
  end tell
  

  Briefly tested with Safari on OS X 10.6.8 5.1.10.

• Why is there not an option for new tabs to open to your homepage?

  It was an option in previous versions of Firefox. What sense does make to remove features?

  I don't want to medium, click my home button and it is absolutely ridiculous to have to install an additional addon to restore the basic features that were included in the versions that came out 5 years ago.

  What is the problem?

  Firefox has never had this feature.
  
  The 269664 bug that you mentioned is on deleting the pref browser.tabs.loadOnNewTab no is longer supported in Firefox that had the Mozilla Suite and SeaMonkey is still supported.

  If you do not use an extension, then your only option is to Ctrl left click or middle - click the home button on the toolbar.
  
  The extension will also open a new tab with the homepage with the Ctrl + T keyboard shortcut.

• I have a new tab add that I can not uninstall

  I have this stupid the new tab page that I can not understand how to get rid of. I have my home page on facebook, I checked my installed programs and there is no adware or toolbars or anything either. I checked in the menu add-on and its extensions, and there is nothing unusual. I can't understand. It is called 'sweet-page', and I'm sure others have had the problem. It seems to be hidden to himself. I even tried the instructions to uninstall THEIR page, and it didn't work. I just tried to UN and re - install Firefox and it does not fix it. Need help please, this is not kill my computer or anything, just really annoying. Thanks in advance.

  Where you cannot find in your search, there is a separated and hidden to new tabs setting: they do not automatically follow your homepage settings.

  (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.

  Success?

  If this is not successful:

  • If Firefox had refused to register your change, check the Control Panel, uninstall a program, to 'Protect search them' and delete it.
  • If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be the substitution of her.

• Open new tabs unwanted Web page

  Whenever I go into a new tab, he launched a Web site called search.conduit. I would have preferred a blank page. Some users seem to have had similar problems, and I have tried the solutions presented to them without success. I have already tried:
  (1) research Reset add-on. This is meant to reconfigure your home page and the new tab settings. He has reconfigured the homepage, but not the new tab setting.
  (2) in the about: config. I went and tried to change the setting of browser.newtab manually without success. Then looked my user script, as suggested by and don't see anything there that seemed related to the problem, there was an "extension" that seemed to be a problem.

  Very frustrating situation. I don't understand why Firefox, it is so easy for the sites of pernicious to corrupt the user experience and so difficult for users to fix.

  I just remembered!

  Another thing that may cause you to not be able to change the subject: configuration settings is a faulty extension or malicious extension. You should start Firefox Safe mode to see if you are able to change the settings of about:config safe mode.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox orange, (upper left button

  

  V29 +) / tools > Modules > Extensions) is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: orange Firefox button, upper-left (corner)

  

  V29 +) / tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
  • Windows/Mac: choose Help > restart with disabled modules
  • Linux: run firefox-safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

  If Firefox is able to change after you delete all the user.js or prefs files, please skip this step and continue following my first reply you

• Extension automatically opens new tab

  Any advice on where I need to search?

  You know that the extension is involved?

  You shouldn't have any problem starting Firefox in Mode safe mode if the problem is really due to an extension. Take a look at this support article to start Firefox in Mode safe or to detect bad extension.

  Maybe the defined extension new tab URL with the URL target when Firefox starts, and once the first new tab is opened, the extension put once again the new URL of the tab with the default this time.
