When I the reopen firefox, it shows the weeks, not the new tabs
Using FF 30.0 with Windows 7. This problem started a few weeks ago. It is not always the case, but I can't determine if it follows the total sleep power off or what.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder of Firefox that store session data.
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and groups of tabs open and closed tabs (back) to get lost and you will have to re-create them (take note or bookmarks if possible).

I don't want the new tab with apps opening when I open Firefox, how to fix this?
I want to just the home page to open without the new tab with a search bar on this issue.
Sometimes the home page changes are caused by a new extension or external software change your Firefox settings. These can sneak in when you install other software, as many free programs include a set of less useful things.
Could check you your extensions for the actions essential or unrecognized? Open the page modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. Or if it's obviously nonsense, delete.
If the button Delete is absent for an extension, you can usually find a way to remove it using the Control Panel, uninstall a program (or all what is it called now to the point Windows 8.1). By clicking on the column heading to sort by date, "installed on" is useful to find and remove unknown elements not trustworthy bundle or other additions.
Once your system is clean, your preferred homepage appears, either immediately or after the update the setting in Options?

How can I remove the 'new tab' that flashes always upward when I run Firefox?
The new tab provides links to Twitter, Facebook, etc. I don't want this 'service '. This tab is slowing down the process for me - a total pain in the neck. Thanks in advance for any help.
Thanks a lot for this URL. In a previous thread, it was associated with a 'speed dial' or 'search dial' extension: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/990420
The unwanted extensions are often installed at the level of the system as part of a bundle. So I suggest from here:
Open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the page of the modules using either:
- CTRL + SHIFT + a
- "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
(1) in the left column, click on Plugins. If you find a plugin that you don't recognize or that seems unnecessary, try the configuration 'will never activate. (The essential Plugin is Shockwave Flash. You can use most of the sites without the others.)
(2) in the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.
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.
Finally, you can "absorb" remain problems with scanning/cleaning suggested in this article of support tools: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

How to get back to my default went recently to the sites when I click on the new tab?
You see, I downloaded kind of something which changed the squares which showed what I... went in front. (Sometimes just recently, but it registers itself it.) I don't mind.)
Now it shows Yahoo. And I don't want Yahoo NOT showing when I click New tab. I want that return sites.

Example: You click on the new tab, and it shows the websites, you went on a field. You just click to go to her. I also added the Bookmarks tab, but... It's not the same feeling, there is for me?
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).

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).

It's maddening that I can't fix something so simple.
When I click on the '+' opens a new page with entries unpopulated for Web sites. I tried the steps in 'new Page' tab and was able to drag and drop a bookmark of my "library".
Guests look OK, but the site does not appear in the free text box. It seems like it should work. Is there a simple (stupid) step I'm missing?
Thank you
StanYes, it should work if you are dragging a bookmark or history item in an (empty) the subject: newtab page.
You see at least nine slots on the new tab page?
None of them filled are already?

It is the default behavior of Firefox. There are a lot of large modules that will allow you to customize the new tab page. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article, find and install add-ons to add functionality to Firefox. It will show you how to find and manage the Add-ons of Firefox.

I'm on firefox 41. When I select a new tab, I get displayed story. This has changed today. I don't know what I changed to create this problem. He has always displayed Google as my homepage with no history and no new proposed apps. How can I get that back to this point. Firefox deleting then reinstalling would resolve the issue.
Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.
Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.
Note, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.
You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Yahoo appears when I press the new tab now and continues to do so even if I change it back
I tried the subject: config and the removal of Yahoo / change in about: newtab - it works, but in about 30 minutes, it is for Yahoo. I checked add-ins and extensions, and the only thing I'm running is Norton. I even tried to go back to the original version of Firefox, in case Yahoo has uploaded a new modified version, and that seems to work, yesterday. But today, when I clicked on the new tab - Yahoo back again. Nothing to do, it seems made a difference - it's worse than a virus, as it seems to keep regenerating itself. Can anyone help please?
I have "think THAT"I could find a resolution. I included here for info to others.
Went to the control panel in Windows
Choose to uninstall a program
Clicking the column installed on everything in date order.
Noticed that at the same time I installed another piece of software a 2nd piece has been installed without my permission. It was called Hub a lot of results.
Selected many results Hub and uninstalled.
To do this, I noticed that it closed Firefox.
After uninstalling, I restarted the PC, just in case he left something in memory
Then once it restarts again, I uninstalled Firefox (tbh, I probably didn't need to do that, but wasn't any risk)
Rebooted again (probably no need to do)
Once the PC itself started, I installed a version of Firefox.Now, fingers crossed, it worked. If it has, I'll come back here tomorrow and this will mark as resolved.

How to set preferences for what happens / appears when you click the new tab

When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?
To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:
- Go to
about:config
in Firefox - Locate the
browser.newtab.url
string - Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab
This should change the new tab page.
Notes:
- Set the

about:home
to get the default home page - Set the
about:blank
