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

Often when opening new tabs of pages newtab miniatures (topic: newtab) newtab - full page refreshes or otherwise falters.

I want bookmarks to open new tabs, but not move them immediately
When I used chrome, I could control click on bookmarks in the bookmarks bar and they would open in new tabs, but it wouldn't switch to the tab immediately (it would load it however). However, in Firefox, when you control click on bookmark, it switches automatically to the new tab. Is it possible to change this?
I tried turning the 'Tabs' which means that the new tabs open from within a Web page are not switched on immediately, but this seems to have no effect on the bookmarks.
Hello alexthegreat7, if you please, try the following:
enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground.

I can't open new tabs on the position of botton?
Hello. After the upgrade to v.7 v.5 Firefox can't open new tabs when on the bottom. In a page Web, in an area about an inch under the 'tabs' line does not work. Example: on the 'Help' of Firefox page I can't sign-in/register if I want to "contribute" and I can't use the buttons under the title "NEED HELP FOR FIREFOX?". When on the Yahoo home page none of the buttons above the "Yahoo Search bar" and the "search bar" itself works.
I tried to find someone on the Live chat since 09:00 with nothing doesn't.
The extension of the Yahoo! toolbar and the extension of Babylon have been reported because of this problem. Disable or uninstall the modules.

How to make the homepage to appear when opening new tab
Under Firefox 40.x whenever I opened a new tab, my home page appeared. When I upgraded to 41.0, opening a new tab displays the suggested sites. How do I have my home page appear whenever I open a new tab?
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 Classic theme restaurant: 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/
Setting up substitute again tab
After installing this extension, 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 override and click the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).
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.
Success?
Once you have set it as you wish, you can close the Add-ons page (or use the back button to return to the list of Extensions of this Options page).

Disable 'open new tabs' privileges for an add-on?
Hello, I have 2 modules that continually open a new tab leading to their sites AFTER an update
My computer is slow, but I need plugins too.
Rather, I put them to update automatically, but how do I disable 'open new tabs' privileges for an add-on?Maybe it's a small nuisance for some users, but I don't think that mozilla would do something against it is not violation of the guidelines of addon developer...
in fact, to open a new tab after some mozilla firefox updates itself, so that disable see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections#w_whats-new-page
If you want to start a discussion about this neverteheless, then the best place to do it would be addons to https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/c/add-ons forum where staff and reviewers of addons.mozilla.org participate as well.

Firefox opens new tabs in the form of tabs first, then move on to the new windows
I'm running FF 14.0.1 and the problem has persisted through a number of versions.
Initially FF will open new tabs... CTRL + t work, do a right click to open in a tab etc all work fine. Sometimes the tabs are now question and I can get maybe 20 or open several tabs. And then other times we seem to be an arbitrary limit, say 5 tabs, and then each new tab opens a new window. No external link opens in a new window, a Ctrl + t opens in a new window, all new windows are the only image, for example, you can have a number of windows each tell 5 tabs, just the original (for example) window 5 and then a series of windows with only unique pages in each, and which Ctrl + t doesn't open a new window.
A full restart sometimes heals things and I can go back to have different pages in different tabs and then something... without obvious motive... launch us in the "new window only" mode after what even if I reduce the number of tabs in the original window many tabs, Ctrl + t opens only new windows.
He's really starting to happen to me... I have searched the technical support information and wonder about a full reset or even uninstall and reinstall. places.SQLite is verified as valid and I also, have it reindexed all to no effect.
Try Firefox Safe mode 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 mode without failure of Firefox 4.0 + by 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 Safe mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

open new tabs in firefox on Ubuntu 12.04 12.0
Open new tabs randomly during firefox sessions. By example, if I leave firefox running all night, the morning there will be 4-6, open new tabs, even if the computer was intact all the time. Don't open new tabs to the Web sites; they just empty.
It always happens with a new and clean profile?
You can use this profile only during the night.

I used the same setup file, but on 1 pc, the "Open new tab" button is available in the menu 'Customize toolbar' and can be dragged and drop on the navigation bar. On the other pc, the "Open new tab" button/icon is not yet available for drag / drop. I uninstalled firefox completely, including the settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that has not fixed the missing button.
Hello
Please try to restore the default value in the Customize... window. If it is still not visible, one of the reasons could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar, but can be hidden behind a different icon or toolbar.
