Whenever I open Firefox, or a new tab, I get a page "this address is not valid.

I tried to change it manually on the subject: config and it still does not work.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the program folder before Firefox to (re) install a new copy of the current version of Firefox.

If possible to uninstall your current version of Firefox to clean the Windows registry and settings in the security software.

  • Do NOT remove the "personal data" when you uninstall your current version of Firefox, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data such as bookmarks and passwords including data profiles created by other versions of Firefox.

Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

  • (32-bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
  • (Windows 64 bit) "C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla.

Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a uninstall and (re) install, but do NOT delete personal data when you uninstall Firefox which removes all Firefox profile folders and you lose your data.

If you keep problems also create a new profile.

    Could check you your home page address to ensure that it is not listed there? It would be after a vertical separator, for example:

  • define new tabs to the home page (subject: config does not work)

    I updated my home page the newtab in: config, there used to work but now it doesn't. I get a blank page or story. Help! all I want is my home page.

  • If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page

    If I have a small Firefox page I can not open a NEW page. He let me just open a new tab on the reduced page. I used to be able to open a new page in browser icon on my desktop, but for these last days, it won't let me. It is a desktop computer, running Windows 7. Everything is up-to-date.

    Hi Deb, it's hard for me to test it personally because I've pinned the shortcut of Firefox to the taskbar, which changes its behavior, and when I remove it, I don't fit my desktop icon. (?!)

    Anyway, as a temporary workaround solution while we sort out this point, you can use the 'Skip' list: right click on the Firefox icon in the task bar and choose 'Open a new fenΩtre' that should certainly generate a separate window and not only a new tab in the existing window. Normally works?

    Firefox has a hidden setting that you might try to change to see if it makes a difference. Normally, when you open a link in another program, it opens in a new tab in the last window of Firefox, that you used. Your what's doing? I propose changing the setting so that the link must open in a new window to see if it has an impact on this problem.

    (1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.

    (2) in the filter box, type or paste link.o and make a pause so that the list is filtered.

    (3) double-click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external and set its value to 2 and click OK.

    The possible values for this preference are as follows:

    -1 = follow your settings in the Options for new tabs vs new windows (default)
    3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
    2 = open external links in a new window
    1 = open external links in the last active tab replaces the current page

    There are a few other similar named preferences, so be sure to change one that has 'external' in the name.

    Any difference?

  • How can I open a new tab and enter automatically in the address bar and not in the Firefox search engine?

    When I open a new tab I see Google search smooth with large beautiful Firefox logo on the top center of research, and makes me automatically type in this research. Is there a way to automatically enter address bar when a new tab is opened? Just moved to Firefox and it's quite annoying.
    Thanks to all the advice.
    -Karl

    Looks like you have set browser.newtab.url to Subject: House which opens the default home page in each new tab. The simplest thing to do is to reset this preference so that instead of the new tab page:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER.
    2. To ignore the warning, press the big button "I'll be careful, I promise!
    3. In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
    4. In the search results, click browser.newtab.url , and then choose reset.

    Otherwise,.

    1. Custom installation tab.

    2. Open the modules (Ctrl + Shift + A Manager; Mac: Command + shift + A), then the Extensions category.
    3. Next to the new custom label, click on the Options button.
    4. The value of any page you want to open in each new tab (topic: newtab is the value default; about: home is the default home page) and make sure that "Focus in the URL bar" is not checked.
  • Why most of the tabs open empty with the label "New tab" and "topic: vacuum ' in the address line to the restart of Firefox since installing Firefox 28?"

    I have a system dual-bootable Windows Vista SP2 and Firefox updated to 28 on both systems. Since the update of the tabs more reopen empty with the label "New tab" and "topic: vacuum" in the address line of Firefox is restarted. The tabs that open correctly seem to be those who in fact, I was at the session of prefious. I can recover the missing tabs using the Session Manager to pick up a previous session, but of course it does not pick up the tabs open in future sessions. It seems that the tabs that I go to the session recovered are saved correctly, as indicated above, but which are not revisited in the context of the use of the session retrieved will drop the URL next time that I open Firefox it again.

    jdgale:

    I don't have the time to do it. However, 29 is just around the corner and we will put in the channel of exit 29, then hope that the issue is not you.

    P.S. I had originally chosen your last answer as the solution that you have migrated more to 29 but it seems that you have taken off. I'll be marking your last answer as the solution so that we can get out of the queue.

  • Search works do not and when I right click on a link to open it in a new tab, it does not work either.

    The other day, I noticed that my search box stop working. Even when I go to options and click on search, it will not be open to the top of the tab to the search options. Today, I noticed that when I right click on a link, it brings up a long list of options, but the only one I want to work is the "Open link in a new tab." Unfortunately, it does not work. I ran Spybot, Malwarebytes and Microsoft Defender and what malware, they found, it does not solve the problem. I even tried Firefox in Safe Mode and updated, but still questions. Any help would be appreciated.

    When on the topic: config and search newtab, the only user adjustment (not default) is

    Have been re-intall, reset, safe mode, nothing works
    the tab works normally after the error, which means that I can start typing in the address bar and even complete works of auto... I restarted just fz and he did a 27.0.1 update
    that did not fix it either... I'm bored of the default page of fx that has recent photos.


  • 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:

    1. 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.
    2. In the tab of the Add-ons Manager, select the Extensions Panel.
    3. Select the toolbar you want to delete.
    4. Click on the button Delete.
    5. 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.
