new url to replace tab in firefox 43.0.1 works not

Similar Questions

• I got the new version 8.0 of firefox today and now when I put a new URL in a tab open or type a URL in a new tab, nothing DON'T get PAST! Help!

  Since I installed version 8.0 of Firefox earlier today, I was unable to get new Web pages by typing in their URLs. If I click on a link in a tab that was opened before the installation (and was called by restoring the Session after I installed the new version) - say in one of my messages in the Hotmail or one with another showing - Web page tab all right and I go to the new page. Even if I click the back arrow: I can go back and forwards to pages that have already been opened in the previous session.

  However, if I type a URL to a new site in the address bar, OR open a new tab and enter a URL here... When I press the Enter key sometimes NOTHING AT ALL. Same thing if I click on the thumb to the new address arrow that appears to the right of the location bar - nothing. This has happened over and over again.

  What is going on? If I use IE, everything works very well, there must be something in Firefox. I need to just go back to the previous version of Firefox I had before this last update? As it is now, I can't go to all the pages that I haven't looked in my session restored, which is not only frustrating but makes Firefox pretty useless for future use. Alternatively, if it is another problem, any ideas on what and how to fix it? Thank you.

  Time for a bit of troubleshooting.

  Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
  
  A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
  
  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

  Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

  If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

• 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?

• Because I downloaded the update of firefox I have more the firefox screen and will work not all of my favorites. Why?

  After I downloaded the latest update firefox I knew he disappeared. The opening of the screen is no longer the fox logo. The area of search in the toolbar indicates that leads research. And I find that not all my favorites still work. Example-I have to go to att to access my e-mail. That's fine if that's the way it is supposed to work, but if so I would like to know how to change my home screen - or at least the first thing I see when firefox opens on the site of att that I usually use my computer for e-mail. I'm also used to use google search and I'm an old lady of cat crazy I'm not really ready to change the way that I am familiar with my computer.
  Ideally, I get photo fox with the google search screen and click on the marked bookmark mail back on my computer?
  I'm not computer unless it is as it always has. Thank you, dawn

  Hello dawn, please be aware that there are malicious sites that will trigger the update of fake reviews/popups that try to get you wrong download software bundled with adware. never click on such websites or run these files offer - updates are managed automatically by firefox and do not download any file to it (always manually, you can check if you're up-to-date by going to firefox > help > about firefox).

  Please try these steps to find your firefox:

  1. Reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
  2. then go to firefox > addons > extensions and where there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  3. go to the windows control panel and remove all installed software recently where you don't know what he has or other suspicious looks.
  4. Finally, run a full scan of your system with security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to ensure that adware is not present in other parts of your system as well.

• New tab page as a tab (with the plus sign next to the tabs) open rather than below as a button to open a new page in the tab?

  Alrighty, the Firefox on my laptop (und such that she has always been with Firefox for me) has the "Open a new tab" button as a tab himself. Always to the right of the tabs I have open und is smaller with only one more sign on this subject. (+) I hit that, bam, a new tab page opens upward, always with the + page to the right to open another tab, if I want to.

  Yet, on the desktop that I use currently, this option isn't here. Instead, Open a button tab is a real personal touch I can move it anywhere near the bar of the browser, much as I have with the: start a conversation, current downloads, bookmark, home, options, privacy, etc... buttons.

  I like the feature to open a new tab with Firefox on my laptop but not on my desktop. However, I can't find anything on how to open a new tab appears with the real tablets themselves where it is conveniently next to the tab I'm on that, rather than being a button where I have to go to one side or the other of my screen to get a new tab to open...

  How do I change it?

  The image I have uploaded, 'B', this is what is on my desk, 'A' is what is on my laptop. "A" is what I want on my desktop.

  Don't know what you're going with "expected normal behavior." I was asking how to pass from one to the other, in this case 'B' to 'A' in regards to my image is concerned. But, in any case, go out of your first line "the new tab button displays a button"+"when the button is on the tab bar", it's answered my question without answering it directly.

  I asked how to get from one to the other, I know that both are possible. Which... answer my question would have been:

  Just drag the new customizable tab to the tabs above button, not the toolbar with the browser bar, etc. below.

  Behavior is not what I was asking, I was wondering how to change from one to the other. But thanks, move the button to the top with the tabs is what has changed for me in what I wanted.

• Where is the gear when I open a new tab in Firefox 42?

  I try to have faces of color illustrated when I open a new tab in Firefox 42. The instructions say click on the gear wheel at the top right of the page to the new tab in order to activate the function of tiles. It is not a gear when I open a new tab.

  What page is the new tab override set the new tab page?

  If you want to use the subject: newtab page with the tiles and the gear, you don't need this extension.
  The extension new tab replace is only necessary if you want a different home page, and such a page does not include this gear.

• Why you put "Open a new tab" on the right side of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

  I changed my computer from XP to Windows 7 and migrated my FF browsers. But... now the tabs at the top of the page are all right (they were upper-front left - where I loved her)

  The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

  How can I put my "open a new tab" immediately to the right of 'Close tab' - as if it was before?

  Please advise?

• How can I stop "Advanced search of Nation" to come whenever I open a new tab in Firefox under Mac OSX?

  Help! A few days previously, toolbar 'Advanced search Nation' (SIN) began to appear when I opened Firefox. I removed the SIN application of my computer that got rid of the toolbar, but now when I click to open a new tab, the tab opens with the URL of NAS. I was not able to prevent this. I downloaded and installed Firefox again, but that has not worked. I used the Spotlight to search for advanced search of Nation, but none were found. I hope someone can help me with this problem, and believe me when I say that I'll be very grateful for any help. Thank you.

• What is the default setting for the homepage of the new tab in firefox?

  My browser has been hijacked, I need to reset and I don't know which is the default setting. I would use the new firefox tab layout.

  See:

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites

  The URL of the new tab page is on: newtab

  The build-in home page URL is on: home.

  If there is a problem with the build-in on: home page and then try to reset the search engine used on the subject: homepage.

  Reset the pref browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone through the context menu by default on the topic: config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the on: default home page.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/about:config
  1. Open the topic: config page through the address bar
  2. Type in the filter bar: mstone
  3. Right-click on the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line, and then select: Reset
  4. Close and restart Firefox

  If this did not help, then remove the button Delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder and repeat the foregoing.

I got my new tab open to my homepage for years, this is how I am used to it, and it's frustrating that I've now spent so much time trying to get around this new "convenience". Just to clarify: I would like that my new tabs to open to my home page. not a white page and not frequently visited tab page.

• How to open/download a file .java instead of open as a txt in a new tab in Firefox?

  Hello
  I need to download/open on my computer a file .java, but Firefox does not give me a box 'Open' or 'Download' instead, it opens the java file as text in a new tab.

  How do I download/open it on my computer?

  I guess that you are referring to a JavaScript file.
  Java and JavaScript are different languages.
  To avoid confusion, see:

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java

  If the server sends the file as a text/plain then Firefox will open the file in a tab if you click left and does not download/save the file.
  In this case, you must save the file via the context menu or the file menu.

  You will need to click right on the link and use "save the link under" to save this file directly instead of left-clicking the link.

  I opened a new tab in firefox, and every time I get a new search engine powered by Bing. I love bing first, then the random image shows a panic all triggered a massive anxiety. I don't need this shit.

  There was another post which apparently "solved" the problem, but IT DOES NOT WORK. I tried to go to about: config so don't tell me that. What can I do to solve the problem of firefox.

  WELL. My wonderful girlfriend showed me how to solve this problem since I couldn't find a solution during troubleshooting of Firefox. BASICALLY. I restarted firefox. And voila it's fixed.
