suddenly I'm asking as a new tab and not google search - driving me crazy
Ask the home page is driving me crazy. I want my google search customary as that which opens when I press on the new tab. I was everywhere on the internet to try to fix this. nothing works.
Since there are different options/settings of the standard page in a new window or a new tab, could you confirm if you have one or two of these problems:
- Ask if poster at the start, in a new window (Cmd + n), and when you click the Home button
- Ask appears when you open a new tab in the same window (Cmd + t)
For these two problems, the first thing to check is an unwanted extension. You can view, disable and often remove the extensions on page modules. Either:
- CMD + SHIFT + a (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then take a critical look at the extensions listed on the right side. If in doubt, disable or remove if possible. Remember that all extensions are optional, none come with Firefox.
Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.
Which allows you to regain control of your homepage and view the standard Firefox new tab page?
If so, here are the details on how to restore your preferred homepage:
If you find that it works in your session (Cmd + n and give you good home page), but after leaving Firefox and commissioning once again you have bad home page, look for an optional settings file named user.js in your profile (personal settings folder) folder. Firefox uses the settings in this file at startup to override your preferences since the previous session. You can check and delete the file by following the steps in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save (there is a specific section on the user.js files).
Display Google in a new tab page requires a different approach. From Firefox 41, the browser.newtab.url parameter is no longer used because it was constantly attacked by malware. Now, 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?

How to stay with a clear new tab and not the search page of Yahoo every time?
Years, I used Firefox with claire of new tabs and achieved this in the menu Options, general tab, display an empty Page - and the next line, remains empty. This has always worked, so far. Today, each new tab navigation takes me directly to the Yahoo Search page, which I certainly don't want.
So, still today, I then passed to the 'Search' tab (in the Options menu) and removed all search engines from the list, including the option checked "Yahoo." However, each new tab again takes me to a "Yahoo" search page
How can I stop this now and forever?
I look forward to your solution.
Thanks a lot for your help, Mark.
You can watch the pref browser.newtab.url the topic: config page and set this pref to the URL of your preferred the new tab page.
- the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
- the default homepage is Subject: Home
- to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum
The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.
You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.See also;

I put tabs to open a blank tab, but each new tab has now google search images on it.
I did not choose as a google search engine - I won't be using google. I have tabs set to open a blank tab each time. I want a blank tab without the google search bar.
This is related to the behavior of tab instead of search engine.
Follow these steps, and you will not see Google as again search engine.- In the address bar, type Subject: config and press ENTER.
(Topic: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.) Click on that I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page. )
- Type browser.newtab.url in the search box.
- Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and change the url to Subject: House to on: vacuum. Alternatively, you can change it to Subject: newtab for Firefox to new home page tabs.
- Click OK, and then close topic: configuration tab.
I hope this helps.

For example, when I enter the search term "cabinets" and get a page/tab search results with suggestions such as Sears, JCPenney, or Amazon, I want to be able to click on Sears and open the Sears page in a new tab/page. I want to be able to close the tab to Sears and use the search results tab.
Google offers a framework for this. What it does, it adds a HTML (target = "blank") statement to every result link, which causes Firefox to open in a new tab. If you uncheck the preference to divert new windows in new tabs, Firefox will then open the result in a new separate window.
This preference is stored in a cookie, if you clear your Google cookies often, so you'll need to reset every time. You can do so here:
https://www.Google.com/preferences
(On this page, Google refers to a new window.)

I'm new to Firefox, but experience a great improvement on IE. I find it heavy to have to open a new front tab - I use the search bar... I would largely prefer a similar option to 'search results appear in a new tab.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I found it.
This preference can be changed by typing about: config
(1) type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter (click the button promising to be careful and please be careful!)
(2) in the filter box, type or paste the Search and pause until the preferences are filtered
(3) double-click browser.search.openintab to change for real. You're done, you can close all: config now.

You are a person of keyboard or mouse?
Using the keyboard after you type your query, hold down the Alt key while pressing ENTER to open search results in a new tab. This also works in the address bar: when you type the name of a new site, hold the Alt key when you press ENTER to open this site in a new tab.
Using the mouse, hold down the CTRL key while clicking on the magnifying glass icon.
Is there a way to always open in a new tab without having search results to use the Alt or Ctrl key? Hmmm, perhaps, I have not studied that.

Thanks to all the advice.
-KarlLooks like you have set browser.newtab.url to Subject: House which opens the default home page in each new tab. The simplest thing to do is to reset this preference so that instead of the new tab page:
- Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
- To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
- In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
- In the search results, click browser.newtab.url , and then choose reset.
Otherwise,.
- Custom installation tab.
- Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to the new custom label, click on the Options button.
- The value of any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.

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.
