• For some unaparent reason for opening a new tab does not open my google homepage. OK for years

  Now on Firefox 28.0. I had an update for Divx and installed. Following this new tabs have been directly at search.conduit. I uninstalled it but now when I open new tabs I get a blank page and have to manually directly to my home page. Previously, a new tab automatically open as my homepage (Google). From Firefox puts me the correct home page. How can I make sure that each new tab opens on my homepage?

  Your settings may have changed when you installed DivX. You can set the new tab page to something different from what follows:

  • Go to about: config
  • Click on I'll be careful, I promise!
  • Search for browser.newtab.url
  • Double click on the string, delete Subject: newtab and enter whatever you want (www.google.com)
  • Close Firefox and reopen.

• New tab does not open after the last update

  Thanks for posting the details of your system. I'm skeptical about the "CompTool0234 Community Toolbar". Could you disable some add-ons and see if that helps.

  On this tab:

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Plugins category

  Disable «Conduit Plugin»

  On this tab:

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

  Disable the CompTool0234 community toolbar.

  Then very probably a link will appear to restart Firefox to make the change. Does make a difference?

• New tab will not open

  When I click to open a new tab, the new tab does not open. Some web pages open new tabs correctly. I tried safe mode and new tabs will open correctly in the corresponding mode. I use Norton to anti-protection against viruses. What is Norton causing the problem or am I looking for another cause?

  Type of topic: addons< enter > in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager.
  Access key; < Control >(Mac: < command >)< shift > has)

  In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions.
  Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

  Some added addons toolbar and anti-virus are known to cause
  Firefox issues. Disable all of them.

  If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Continue until the
  the problem disappeared. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem.
  Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

  Once you think you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the
  others, then restart. Let us know who the suspect is detective.

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

• new tab (+) does not work after the upgrade to v 23.0.1 forefox

  I had firfox version 22 I guess... Now, today morning I upgraded to v 23. It displays a message from one of the plug-in is not compatible with wud and therefore be disabled. now later I still once downloaded the plug in to check if its works or not but TI worked (as I had already guessed), or its display in modules or plug-ins.

  Now I don't get why the new tab does not work. Not at all. Its so very annoying. I googled the question and tried to reset firefox and the new tab in subject parameter: config. But nothing helped.

  I think that its because of this plug-in I've read somewhere that the parameters can be getting replaced by one of the defective Add-ons.

  Help, please.

  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.

  You can use the SearchReset extension to reset preferences to default values.

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/SearchReset/

  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).

• The new tab (+) does not work, or the file/new tab feature

  The new tab (+) does not work. The function of the file/new tab does no more work. Both had worked correctly until noon today. I haven't added any software, plug-ins or extensions today, I do not have the Ask toolbar. I tried several of the suggestions made on this site, nothing helps.

  This problem may be caused by an extension that does not work in the current version of Firefox.

  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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
