• Can I add a button next to the bar of address (such as the Home key) that will open a new tab?

  In Firefox 3, there was a button that would open up a new tab. This button was close to my address (next to the home, refresh, buttons etc.) bar and can also be used when I had no open tag (unlike the + on the tabbar, who is only there when I turn on my tabbar).
  Although there is a button I can add that will open a new window, I would like to know if it is possible to have a similar button that will open a new tab.

• I can't find an option to display a "plus" sign next to the tabs to open a new tab.

  I recently had my re installed Windows. I used to have the plus sign next to my tabs in Firefox to add a new tab, and they no longer appear. I know that I can open a new tab in the menu file, but I'd like to see the sign again to open one and I can't find the option to do so.

• Open a new tab next to current, not to the right of the related content

  The current options to open as a new tab in firefox must be open at the end of the right hand of the band tabs, or open it to the right end of the related content tabs.
  If the number of tabs between the current tab and the tab exceeds the visible through the window, there is no visible indication that the trigger was a success and a new tab was opened.
  Is there a way to get Firefox to open a new tab to the right of the current tab, but to the left of the related content tabs. This means that you would always see the new tab opening. It would also mean that if you accidentally open the tab to the foreground, rather than the bottom, the tabs related would still stay in the order (although right on the left rather than the current from left to right).

• If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

  If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

  Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

  Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

  Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

  (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

  (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

  The possible values for this preference are as follows:

  -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
  3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
  2 = open external links in a new window
  1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

  There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

  Any difference?

• Open a new tab does not work

  Yesterday the + tab opens a new tab when you click it. Today, it doesn't. New tab file does not work either. I use OS X El Capitan. I really want to use FireFox as my browser - it's much faster than Chrome. But I'm not going to open a new window every time I want to start something new.

  Continue the behavior mode without failure of Firefox? https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/troubleshoot-Firefox-issues-using-safe-mode

  If Yes, then we can rule out assorted settings, Extensions and themes. Next step is probably malware analyses, but I don't know what scanners are good for Mac OS.

  If not, then it is time to start weeding the themes and Extensions 1 by 1 until the culprit is found.

• How can I show more top sites when I open a new tab? Currently it only shows four.

  I opened a new tab and I see that first four sites, I used to get eight. How to change this back?

  If you 'zoom back"holding the key Ctrl and tapping - one or twice, this is get the page for a good place?

  If Firefox does not remember your zoom level of the page the next time that you open, you may need to disable prefetching of the page using this parameter:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. 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.preload to change its value from true to false

  After the change, if you have any 'new tab' pages open, close them and open a new one change, the zoom setting and now we must remember.

  If you do not want to reduce the zoom level, there are some add-ons to change the page. What follows is often referred to:

• Firefox automatically opens the new tab, even when I don't want it. Need to stop this.

  In the Blackboard, I need not to open a new tab in Firefox. Before the last update, it was fine, but now when I click on a new choice (that is, the notebook) it always opens a new tab. The administrator of my Bb says it's a browser problem. I can right click to open a new tab, but there is no choice not to open a new tab.

  You can check some prefs on the topic: config page:

• Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar?

  Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar? This feature in conflict with my program of multiple monitors (display fusion) since this program allows you to change your current active window the monitor 1 monitor 2 and vice versa BY clicking the header of BAR SCROLLING (or whatever you call the highest part of your window). With firefox, I can't easily change my active window between monitors because instead, it opens a new tab.

  If the window is maximized, you can then switch this pref to disable the display of the tabs in the title bar:

  • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = false

• Cannot do Yahoo to stop opening with new tab - even when I click on "Home" in a new tab.

  When I open a fresh tab, arrives with the Yahoo Search page. I went into options repeatedly to remove Yahoo, define search Google as my homepage and set Google as your default search page. Just keep coming back to Yahoo.

  Actually, there is a parameter to the new tab page:

  (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. 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?

  If the problems persist, some potential diagnoses and remedies:

  If Firefox will not let you change this setting: you can have what is called SearchProtect on your system. This must be removed the control panel. If the status is 'locked' we'll need to help you investigate a configuration file "automatic".

  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 (Mac: command + shift + a)
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then, take a critical look on the list on the right and turn off (or remove) something unknown. If you find something like Searchme, leads or tap, I will recommend additional cleaning measures.

  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?
