Why doe 'Bing' always appear when I open a new empty tab? I want to stop it. Thank you, please advise.

Having checked the history and the tabs and Add-ons

A new tab opens by default like a Virgin tab (topic: empty).

If this isn't the case, then an extension has changed this behavior.

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) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).

  • How can I reset the page that appears when I open a new tab "white"?

    MySearchDial reset my settings in several browsers. I deleted the program, I set my home page and removed the site from the list of engines of research possible, but when I opened a new tab "in white", it always opens with MySearchDial features. I tried the SearchReset extension, it did not work. I tried the subject: config newtab url, that does not work either.

    How to reset it?

    Could you take a second look at everything: config?

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

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) If you check the browser.newtab.url preference, what is he on? These are the typical things:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    If it is already set correctly, but still, you get a white page MySearchDial, one of your other extensions may be the problem.

    You can consult, disable and/or remove extensions on page modules. Either:

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

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off...

    If it indicates that it is locked or refuses to save the changes, Check Control Panel, uninstall a program for a program called research protect and remove that. Locked preference may also indicate the presence of a mozilla.cfg file. If you think that, please post back for more information, by simply removing this file can cause problems.

    I am running Win 7 Pro 64 on a laptop HP 4530. My desktop unit (home built) opens a new tab with a blank page. I would like to open each with a specific search engine.

  • Unwanted page appears when I open a new tab in an existing window.

    When I open Firefox, it opens to Google, which is my preferred homepage. I set Google as my search engine preferred on the Firefox toolbar.

    I'm not tech savvy, so I would appreciate a response which takes into account.
    Thank you.

    The new tab page can be changed by a commissioning or use of an extension cord. We will try the setting first, then if necessary, check the extensions.

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

    (2) in the search above the list box, type or paste newtab and make a pause so that the list is filtered

    (3) double-click the preference browser.newtab.url and enter your favorite page:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Press Ctrl + t to open a new tab and check that it worked. Fixed?

    Three things to look out for:

    • If Firefox will save any modification of this parameter, you can have a program called search protect you need to uninstall through Control Panel, add/remove programs.
    • If Firefox ignores the setting, one of your extensions may be substitution of her. Please, open the page modules, Extensions section and take a critical look at what is there. To a first approximation, try disabling everything will not be in the next 24 hours. You can open the page using either of the following, and then click on "Extensions" in the left column:

      • CTRL + SHIFT + a
      • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • If the modification works for the rest of your session, but at the next start is return empty, you might have a user.js file in your personal settings Firefox (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and delete the file: How to fix preferences that will not save. Some utility programs as Advanced SystemCare have a feature to restore your settings to a previous state between sessions ("surf Protection"). Another thing to check is if you keep losing your settings changes.

  • Why only 4 pin tiles when I open a new tab on v.38?

    Right after the update to version 38, my new tab page displays only 4 of 9 tiles PINNED (popular pages) that I had before.

    By following some instructions here, I just checked the value of "browser.newtabpage.pinned" and all 9 sites are stored. BUT they are not displayed. Not sure if it is a problem of space with version 38. Maybe someone on your desktop can confirm. It seems that the new tiles are more "real estate". If so, it is a design flaw and let me tell you, inexcusable. The most visited pages/tiles feature is incredibly useful.

    BTW, in classic vs. improved settings makes no difference.

    Hi, you can change the number of tiles on the Page of the new tab to zoom in or out (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key).

    You can also keep the same zoom setting when a new tab is clicked: Type Subject: config in the address bar, press ENTER, accept the warning, scroll to browser.newtab.preload and double-click on it to change the 'value' of true to False.

    It is also possible about: config to change the maximum number of tiles by scrolling to the browser.newtabpage.columns (or Rows), then right-click > modify to set a new number of 'value '.

    As an alternative, you might like to try the add-on new tab tools.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
