• Mail carrier arrives in a new tab instead of the home page

  Recently I met a change when I open a new tab. Instead of the home page (as was the case previously) I get my carrier of electronic mail (e-mail) white page with an illustrated history of the last visited web sites. The statement tab in Windows should open new tabs with the home page and there is no problem that when you use Internet Explorer. Comments section Mozilla says to click on an icon of gear in the top right of the screen. There's no icon on my screen. How can I fix it? Thank you.

  By the way... in case you meant a separate new window (Ctrl + n) instead of a new tab in the same window (Ctrl + t), which should follow the setting of your home page. No need to go in: config for this. See:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  Add-ons can also override this setting, then see my comments on this in the previous answer if Firefox is ignorant of your homepage when you open a new window.

• When you open an external link, a new window opens and displays the home page

  Updated to the latest version (36.0 Linux) and now whenever I open a link from an external application to be steam E-mail IRC or any other source, instead of the page is displayed a new window will open and then load the home page. I tried the default browser to something else (which opened the links correctly) switching and vice versa, safe mode and even a refresh, but the problem persists.

  I found this in the bug tracker.

  Apparently it seems to be a problem with an old hack in XFCE or desktop environments possible on X in general, which is no longer supported in Firefox 36. A solution fast until they solve this problem, is to open a new terminal and enter:

  sudo gedit /usr/share/xfce4/helpers/firefox.desktop
  (replace gedit by any other text editor you use)
  .. .and change the last two lines:
  X-XFCE-orders = %B - distance "openURL (about: Virgin, new window)"; %B;
  X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter = %B - remote "openURL (%s)"; %B %s;
  to read:
  X-XFCE-orders = %B;
  X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter = B %%s;
  then save the document, of course.

  This solves the problem for me immediately.

• In version 13.0 is selected the option "when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time", but I always get default page of Firefox.

  Even thought is selected the option ' when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time "I always have the default page of Firefox.

  Hi Goldie_,

  I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.

  Hope this helps!

• How fix oblivion previously opened tabs when Firefox starts by clicking on a link in an external application?

  Hello, I have the boot option: "show my windows and tabs from last time" activated. Works fine, except when Firefox starts when I click on a link in an external application (typically Thunderbird). Then, the new link is opened in a new tab, Firefox remembers the number of tabs I had open when I finally closed it, but all of the 'old' tabs are empty. Somehow fix this behavior?

  Deactivation of the modules does not help. By clicking on a link in an external application when Firefox is already open works OK. I use Firefox for some time short (probably half a year) and this problem was still there (not that is not due to a new update).

  Thank you.

  If Firefox is closed, and an external link opens Firefox, you must go to history > recently closed tabs and open tabs before closing Firefox. If you don't 'last session' will be gone and only one page than the open external program will be the new "previous session."

  If this is not satisfactory, you will need to install an extension of type "session manager" as well as "the last sitting" remember only.

  Search for AMO "session manager".

• When I open Firefox, it opens my last tab instead of my home page.

  When I open the Firefox browser, it opens the last tab I opened instead of my home page. It's getting very annoying since I can't not understand why or how to fix it.

  ~ I haven't installed a new software, search engines or modules recently that should have done.

  ~ I checked the control panel > uninstall programs (search by date added) to see if there was adverse dracovenii or plug-ins that have been installed, and I do not see everything.

  ~ I played with preferences setting it to 'Show my home page', 'show a blank page' and 'my windows and tabs from last time ". But nothing changes.

  ~ I did some research online to see if anyone else has had this problem, or if there is no solution, that I could find, but I can't find something that sounds like my problem. Especially since what started just around the Firefox update to 31.0 (was it on 30-07-14? quelque_chose like that). But I must admit it seems as it was before... but maybe not.

  It's getting a little frustrating that I can't understand why he did this, or how to solve the problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction for a solution.

  Thank you!

• When firefox opens as a new tab opens with a video download program how can I stop this

  When I opened ffox what it also opens a new tab on if I want to download a video software... How can I remove this.
  Thank you
  captjack

  Sorry, I read too fast. This happens any time you access your home page? For example, using either:

  • CTRL + n (start a new window)
  • Click on the Home icon in the toolbar

  If Yes:

  You can have a second put tab in place in your homepage layout. Please see these articles:

  • Startup, homepage, tabs and download settings
  • How to set the home page

  If this setting is clean, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer.

  If not:

  Sometimes problems occur only at startup.

  • If the tab is linked to an update of the extension: you should see this tab once and not every time that you start, but Firefox may be not recording the 'you have seen' setting correctly. Please see this article on the failure of save the settings: How to fix preferences that will not save.
  • If the tab is not related to an update of the extension, please review your extensions as stated in my previous answer. Keep in mind that Firefox is not delivered with all extensions, they are all optional.

• When I click to open a new tab how to get Firefox to display recent used frequently the web pages instead of my home page?

  When I click the icon "more" to open a new tab appears again my homepage. It displays a page of Web sites recently or frequently used in a format of screenshot showing the home page of the Web site that I could then click on and this website would be the load. Recently, Yahoo had an overlay on its splash screen that asked if I wanted it to be my default search engine. Without thinking, I clicked it and that seemed to change the way my home pages loaded on startup and how clicking on a tab is no longer produced the results I'm looking for as described above. I have since fixed the problem of the homepage so that it now loads properly when Firefox starts.
  Help, please. I would just go back to what I had when I clicked open a new tab. If anyone needs more information or clarification I will provide willingly. Thank you very much.

  One of your modules corresponds to this number, for example, the version 3.18, or sounds associated with "hp" in some way? You can copy and paste a list of your extensions in a response by selecting the Extensions from the list on the next page with the mouse, then using Ctrl + c or right click > copy. Either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  When you paste, it's a little messy, but we are used to it.

• Since the Firefox 26.0 update, whenever I start Firefox, it opens to a blank tab instead of my home page.

  My Firefox preferences are on:
  When Firefox starts: show my homepage
  Homepage: http://www.foxnews.com/

  If I change my home page, Firefox however opens to a blank tab.

  I think I solved my problem.
  As I said earlier, I started 25.0.1 and everything was fine.
  This morning, I decided to start from scratch.
  I deleted Firefox and all my computer files.
  Using an application called EasyFind I find all files related to Firefox on my hard drive and deleted. This includes all profiles and preferences.
  Then, I downloaded Firefox 26.0 and installed.
  So far, the problem still happened.
  All right.
  Thanks to everyone who has helped me and Happy New Year!
  Kind regards
  Ken
