• Where is the gear when I open a new tab in Firefox 42?

  I try to have faces of color illustrated when I open a new tab in Firefox 42. The instructions say click on the gear wheel at the top right of the page to the new tab in order to activate the function of tiles. It is not a gear when I open a new tab.

  What page is the new tab override set the new tab page?

  If you want to use the subject: newtab page with the tiles and the gear, you don't need this extension.
  The extension new tab replace is only necessary if you want a different home page, and such a page does not include this gear.

• When I open a new tab, it auto matically goes to yahoo. I don't like yahoo.

  I use Firefox for some time and I've never had a problem with it. Recently, some settings that are apparently independent of my will to change. Everytime I open a new tab, he continues:

  http://search.Yahoo.com/?FR=freezetype=W3i_NA, 132, 3_6, tab % 20Search 20100520, 6693, 0,16,0

  Here is some info. So far, I have deleted all cookies from Yahoo, deleted all licenses of Yahoo and deleted all Yahoo my computer, but this persistent little vampire of a Web site remains. I looked through the settings of Firefox a hundred times, and it seems that there is no way to influence how a tab when you open it. It will probably fix the problem to reinstall Firefox, but if this happens again I want to kill him. I am a man of Google people. I have Google as my homepage, and I do not appreciate Yahoo paste his purple nose ugly in my business, every time I open a tab. Help, please!

• 13.0.1 day saw upward tabs: when I opened a new tab nothing I enter in the address field work. Google and bookmarks work, but nothing to manually enter

  If I open a new tab, I can't enter any address at any site. Well, that I can enter, just at the moment where I hit return the address of the typewritten page disappears and returns to "go to a Web site. Nothing happens. I can use the search box (google) or a bookmark to open a new tab. This tab resulting will be then to accept the entrance and go to the address as I type. The new tab will not do anything.

  Try to open a new window (file > new window) to see if it works.

  Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance/themes).

  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.

• When I open a new tab, it goes straight to the Bing, rather than the white page.

  I recently downloaded a program called PDFlite to view the PDF files. He seems to have changed some settings on my Firefox, I does not allow to do so. I am today and there was a Bing toolbar, which I disabled it without problem. But now when I open a new tab, it goes directly into the Bing search engine, rather than the blank page where it used to go. This turn off the coast. I hate Bing. I checked my addons and there is no new addons added by the program. I can't understand what is happening. Help, please!

• When I open a new tab, how can I make Google the search default arc in the middle of the new page?

  I want the homepage to search Google to open when I open a new tab instead of the default generic search box. How can I change what opens when I open a new tab?

  Why not use the built-in engines, Google is one of them, and it is the default search engine. You can have the results of your search automatically open in a new tab, and your links on the Google results page each open in a new tab.

• When I open a new tab, the default URL for a URL that is unwanted. Where can I go to change the unwanted to wanted URL?

  When I open a new tab, I want it to be empty. Instead, it opens to a URL ('Bing'), unwanted. How can I change the tab setting to eliminate the opening to the Bing search engine and replace it with a blank tab?

  I had already replaced Bing with Google as my default, but kept search engine with Bing on new tabs, I found very frustrating.

  Finally, I found that I could return to a blank tab by going to control panel from my computer and uninstalling the Toolbar start now. Phew. No more Bing!

• When I opened a new tab, the cursor is automatically in the field of navigation, because I reinstalled Firefox yesterday. Is there a solution?

  When I opened a new tab, the cursor is automatically in the field of navigation, because I reinstalled Firefox yesterday. Is there a solution?

  I solved.

  I installed mutorrent, which in turn installed 'Safe Protect' of 'Intermediary' that messed up my Internet browser settings.

  I uninstalled it and everything turned back to normal, when I opened a new tab, the cursor is automatically in the address bar (ie. it is highlighted).

  Thanks for your time.

• Firefox 23.0.1, update is no longer automatically highlights the contents of address bar when I open a new tab.

  The foregoing. When I opened a new tab in the past, before the new update, firefox would automatically highlight the text in the address bar, and I couldn't just start typing here the address of the site that I wanted to. I could quickly get anywhere I want in less than a second. Now, I need to drag, and then click on in the bar every time to address. I installed an add-on called "custom newtab", but it slows down just me lower due to a lag between opening a new tab and the add-on kick and highlighting the contents of address bar.
  What is happening is this:
  Click "new tab".
  New tab opens blank, and the text appears highlighted "google.co.uk" for about a quarter second.
  Loading the Google page and highlight the text becomes not for another second quarter.
  The module comes in and highlights the text "google.co.uk" Meanwhile I have already started typing and end up losing the first part of words, sending me random web pages and research.

  Why this change? Difficulty please!

  Hi ChrisYeomans, a change has been noted in other threads on google.co.uk

  The http URL now automatically redirects to https. Since you did not specify the Protocol in your newtab.url setting, Firefox attempts http and it is immediately redirected to the https domain. You should be able to see this happen unless your computer is much faster than mine.

  Firefox does not handle this redirect elegantly - the URL in the address bar is not enabled unless you click a different tab, and then click back.

  To work around the problem, update your newtab.url to the URL https://www.google.co.uk/ full

• In the old version of Firefox, when I opened a new tab, firefox remember and displays open previous tabs. I could automatically click a prior tab which has been opened to open it again - as my mail. This feature is available in 6.2?

  In the old version of Firefox, when I opened a new tab, firefox remember and displays previous tabs open when I click on the + to the new tab. This display last has shown several places I visited and I could automatically click it to bring up this last point of view. In this function, I could go to one of my last 6 views quite easily and make it appear one of them as a shortcut.

• In Firefox 5, when I opened a new tab, Firefox doesn't switch to it immediately (unlike previous versions). How to restore this setting?

  When you open a new tab Firefox remains on the old tab and does not switch to the new. I could not fing where correct this (in tools)

  Ah, I see. As far as I know, this behavior is not subject to a preference of the user. My best guess is that an extension or plugin interferes. To test this theory, you can try to use mode without failure of Firefox:
