• 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.

  • "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.

• Open new tabs unwanted Web page

  Whenever I go into a new tab, he launched a Web site called search.conduit. I would have preferred a blank page. Some users seem to have had similar problems, and I have tried the solutions presented to them without success. I have already tried:
  (1) research Reset add-on. This is meant to reconfigure your home page and the new tab settings. He has reconfigured the homepage, but not the new tab setting.
  (2) in the about: config. I went and tried to change the setting of browser.newtab manually without success. Then looked my user script, as suggested by and don't see anything there that seemed related to the problem, there was an "extension" that seemed to be a problem.

  Very frustrating situation. I don't understand why Firefox, it is so easy for the sites of pernicious to corrupt the user experience and so difficult for users to fix.

  I just remembered!

  Another thing that may cause you to not be able to change the subject: configuration settings is a faulty extension or malicious extension. You should start Firefox Safe mode to see if you are able to change the settings of about:config safe mode.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox orange, (upper left button

  

  V29 +) / tools > Modules > Extensions) is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: orange Firefox button, upper-left (corner)

  

  V29 +) / tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.
  • Windows/Mac: choose Help > restart with disabled modules
  • Linux: run firefox-safe-mode in the Terminal/Konsole

  If Firefox is able to change after you delete all the user.js or prefs files, please skip this step and continue following my first reply you

• When you open Firefox, how can I do anything about most already pinned tabs open?

  I have a few pinned tabs that satisfies me, but I don't want a homepage or any other form of additional tab to open every time I start Firefox. I just want the pinned tabs and nothing else. I keep having to close the tab that appears when you start.

  It is not possible. Firefox always opens at least a normal tab, but must select a pinned tab if you close Firefox with the selected one.

• When you make a new folder in the "Page Bookmarked" pop up, it won't let me name the folder.

  Usually, when you to bookmark a page, by selecting the drop down next to the 'file' box, you can press "New folder", and it create a new folder and allow you to name it.

  Now, it often does nothing when I press the button, and when it does not have a new folder, it won't let me name. I have to go to my favorites, right click and go to properties and then change the name from there. It is very annoying.

• New tab shows black page not thumbnails. How to show thumbnails?

  By clicking on the + for a new tab just gives me a black page with a Google search box at the top. The only instructions I can find to restore thumbnails of my best sites say to click on one of the empty boxes, but since I have no boxes at all, it does not help.
