When I open a new tab (+) I get a spam site
When I click to a new tab, I get a 'MyStart by Incredibar' site, I uninstalled the program, but this site always appears. I want to see my home page, or better yet the vignettes of Bing that used to appear. Where can I change the setting to get rid of the undesirable site?
Thank you
Looks like you have a third-party toolbar which took on your search engine, Home Page or the default new tab Page. Fortunately this can be solved easily:
- At the top of the Firefox window, click the Firefox (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. Open the tab of the Add-ons Manager.
- In the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel.
- Select the toolbar you want to delete.
- Click on the button Delete.
- Click reboot now if it appears. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After restarting Firefox, install the Reset search tool. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program to your Firefox.
For more information, please read delete a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the home page search.
This helps to your question? Let us know!

When I opened a new tab, I get my fav sites I get lavasearch by yahoo.
How to move this back to my fav sites
Try to use the extension SearchReset reset preferences to default values.
Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).
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).

Hello
Sorry, but it looks like you may have some malware installed on your computer. You can try to reset Firefox to its default settings (when recording your personal data such as bookmarks, etc.) by following this tutorial: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
This'll take care I hope to question for you. I hope this helps!

I already made the topic: config reset and it does not have the new blank tab or go to a specific URL I type in address. What can I do to get a new empty tab? Thank you.
Change the browser.newtab.url preference, or it is ignored?
If it changes after you exit and then restart Firefox, look for a user.js file, as described in this article: How to fix preferences that will not save.
If it is ignored, are looking for an extension that is unwanted in the Add-ons page:
CTRL + SHIFT + a button orange Firefox (or tools) > Add-ons
On the left side, click Extensions, and then disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions.
Typically, 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.
Any improvement?

When I open a new tab, I get redirected to a page that is not google. I want to start with google and go from there.
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to 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.
See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):
Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

My homepage is set to Google search, and when I open a new tab, I'd like to open this page, instead of a blank tab. As it is, I always click on the home button in the toolbar of FF, to replace the empty tab with a new Google search page.
You can do this by using an add-on such as:
- NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
- New tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way to open the home page in a new tab is in the Middle, click the home button in the navigation toolbar.

When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.
I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.
I have attached a picture of your understanding.
I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.
user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.
- Background info see http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.
In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.
Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs
- Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
- Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
- topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc
You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).
It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.
First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start FirefoxThe second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you start Firefox.
