• How to get new tabs open to the correct home page?

  When I open new tabs, they just go to a Google search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar, but as soon as he finished to load Google it blanks what I typed and going on the Google site. In other words, "in white" new tabs do not open the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How to change that? In other words, how can I get the tabs to stop opening to the Google and start to open my home page or favorite screen? Thank you!

  You can change the pref browser.newtab.url on the topic: config page and set to the desired page to open.

• Why my tabs open up as the site of Amazon instead of the Firefox start page?

  Hi all
  Since this morning my Firefox tabs started opening as cover page from Amazon rather than the 'top sites' page standard that normally appears.
  I checked both extensions and modules on Firefox and found nothing, I changed the settings of the homepage through my internet and firefox options and not had any luck. I also run Spybot, AVG and removed all programs not recognized from my list to add/remove in Control Panel still with no luck. I had a problem with the toolbar 'incredibar' a long time ago, but who had been kidnapped a few months ago and everything has been fine since.
  On the advice to read another question, I removed the file user.js and cleared cache etc. on restart Firefox unfortunately it is still doing the same thing.
  Any ideas?

• New tab opens when I click on email link, this does not happen with IE or Chrome

  I use a specific website for the work. When I click on a hyperlink on the website that is supposed to generate an e-mail, it also generates a new tab for no reason. It is a waste of time. Happening on the same site in IE or Chrome.

  Those are extensions for Firefox. You can access the Firefox Add-ons page using one of the following methods:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click Extensions. On the right, enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, with the extensions disabled at the bottom.

  As a general criterion for the problems caused by any extension, the user may try the same pages/functions Mode without failure of Firefox. It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  (Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still works)

  After stops in Firefox, a small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  If the problem disappears, usually that points to an extension as the culprit.

  Keep in mind that other aspects of Safe Mode may be more relevant to display glitches (hardware acceleration) or outages as extensions, but in this case, I would look at the extensions.

• "Change plan settings" opens whenever I click on enter

  I made the mistake of letting my little 1 year old daughter plan with my computer for about a minute.  Now every time I press Enter a window with the following path appears:

  Control Panel > power options > change plan settings

  Help!

  You have a programmable keyboard?  She could have accidentally reset ENTER to redirect to this location.  If so, it's just to reset the keyboard to factory settings (but's done it according to the manual - it varies depending on the make and model) and you should be fine.

  If it does not or is not the case, see this article on the remapping of keys: http://vlaurie.com/computers2/Articles/remap-keyboard.htm.  I don't know if the program can be used with only a mouse (or without the Enter key), but it is possible.  I am sure that the problem can be corrected in the registry if you can get there (even if I have to be honest and say that I don't know how to do that, or rather that the entry refers to the Enter key).  To do these two steps, try to start in safe mode with networking (hit F8 continuously during booting until the menu and see if the enter button is working.  That would be great.

  If that is not the problem or does not solve the problem (perhaps because the Enter key still does not work in full safe mode) then try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started (I suspect it's probably where you actually have to start because I'm not sure of the keyboard mapping program or soft keyboard).  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  You may need to use the CD to do if F8 does not press enter. How to start the CD are described below.  I hope that the button functions correctly enter this mode, because it will be VERY difficult to do any troubleshooting without it.  All the keys she might have reset, it was certainly the worst.

  If the system restore does not work, do a startup repair, boot from the disk Installation of Windows Vista genuine (or one that you can borrow from someone) or a recovery disc.  Here is the procedure: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html.  You may need to change the BIOS to do first the CD drive in the boot sequence to boot from the CD.  To do this, hold the screen that tells you the key F to push to enter the menu start or start of installation.  Push it quickly. Make the changes, save your work and exit.  Put the CD in the drive and reboot.  When you are prompted, press any key to boot from the CD.

  If you do not have a floppy disk, you can make a bootable recovery disk by using http://neosmart.net/blog/2008/windows-vista-recovery-disc-download/ with burning software like: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html and, of course, a blank CD.

  If this does not work, try to start in safe mode (repeatedly hit F8 key so that the start and go in safe mode with networking).  Then we will check some of your system files:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well it will complete with no corruption, he couldn't fix it (if there is such corrouption post here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.

  If this does not work, you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html as well as the upgrade from an earlier version of the Windows section of the following: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/918884.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side.  I don't like this goes away from doing just that a 1 years within 1 minute, but to be honest I don't know how to do what she does if I had hours of research on problems - it will be interesting to see how it works for later reference (although I am sure that you feel completely different now).

  I hope one of these procedures can solve your problem (probably the system restore or repair/upgrade system).  If this isn't the case, after return and we will try something else.  Return message anyway so we know how it turns out.  You have me very curious at this stage.

  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• on the opening and every time I click on the Home icon, a second tab opens titled "Customizing firefoxx with modules."

  I tried to uninstall and reinstall Firefox, but the annoying tab still opens whenever I click on the Home icon. To make it worse I get a new tab each time which means I can have several customization tabs opening during a single session. How can I stop this happening?

  In Options/general, you must have more than one home page selected.

• Whenever I click on a button that leads to a new page, a new tab opens telling me to update to firefox. I've updated, but it continues still to be.

  I've updated that page was to tell me, but nothing seems to be different. The new tab opens when I click on an image to enlarge it, when I opened a new tab manually or when I open a page by a link.

  Hello

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

  (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

  • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
  • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

  Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

  When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

  Thank you.

• New tabs for Firefox will not open unless by clicking on a link while browsing.

  To expand on what the issue is, whenever I try to open a new tab, it does everything simply. Only new tabs open when I click on a link that also opens the page in this link in a new tab. Even when I try to do the same thing in the file menu and Ctrl + t. otherwise, Firefox works normally. Yesterday, I downloaded a program called 'FLV player' I knew came with a bar ask.com toolbar, but for some reason, from ask.com to the home page for Firefox. After that, I changed the homepage to Firefox, return to the default page.

  Ask Toolbar can cause this problem. Uninstall it.

• Extremely high CPU with tabs open minimum usage?

  I just noticed that FF has a growing demand on the CPU... even on the start page... you can look at the use of the processor to climb.

  Nothing else ongoing, no updates or downloading... but continues to grow as if I were.

  I have usually 3 tabs open... Home (FF), Windows Live, and FB... over a period of 10-15 minutes... I see FF with an average of 600 + - beyond 1 GB of processor power... I solve this problem be frequently closing and reopening FF... but this isn't a long-term solution.

  Try to remove this add-on Bitdefender QuickScan 0.9.9.109, disable it perhaps not completely turn it off.

• Hi, whenever I hit the home button on the current page go to my home page AND also opens another tab - I just want to go to my home page without having to open another tab that I then have to close. Any ideas?

  I was just in Firefox 4. Now, whenever I hit the home the current page button goes to my homepage (which is what I want), BUT it also opens another tab - I just want to go to my home page without having to open another tab that I then have to close. Any ideas?

  Gotcha. Go to your desired homepage and close all the tabs you want to NOT open when you click the home button. Then, you have several ways to update the home page setting as described in the article.
