• I want to open a new tab, but keep the cursor in the adressbar. Right not every time I open a new tab, I come to a page with google search and the firefox logo.

  http://blog.Mozilla.org/UX/files/2012/05/Firefox-beta-13-redesigned-About_Home-Page1.PNG?128c42

  Is a small problem for me, because when I want the cursor at the beginning in the adressbar. So, if for example, I opened a new page, I type in imdb.com I receive directly on imdb.

  Today, however, with the Home tab firefox screen. I have to do a google search for imdb.

  A small problem perhaps, but enough to be annoying.

  Is there a way to move the settings or something similar, and keep the cursor in the address bar after you open a new tab?

  Hello

  If you only want the new tabs do not have home page, you can change it by going in your Subject: config page and replacing "browser.newtab.url" Subject: vacuum. For me at least, if I open a new tab on a white page, the cursor remains the address bar.

  In order to change your Firefox Configuration please follow the following steps:

  1. In the address bar, type Subject: config

  and press enter. The subject: config "this might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.

  1. Click on I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.

  If you also want to change your home page to a blank page, you can do so in virtue:

  • (on Windows) Tools > Options > general, or
  • Menu

    

    > Options (preferences on Mac and Linux) > general

  Then change the dropdown to "when Firefox starts:"so that it is set to 'Show a blank page'.»

  Note that you can continue to do research on the awesome bar and search bar where you want to do a Google search.

• How can I get 12 of Firefox to open a link from Google search results?

  Since the upgrade to version 12.0, whenever I click on certain links in the browser just "recharge" the same page, as I'm on instead of loading the new page in the same tab. When this happens, it's not to open the link in a new tab or the tab on a window, instead, just for a second, I said 'connection' and has the circular busy light, and then I'm right where I was before. In order to actually follow a link, I'll have to, click background, and then click Open in a new tab.

  On many Web sites, the links follow as usual and open the new page in the same tab. Others have not, however, like the google search results page. I wonder if it's something to do with the new feature anti-double tab and if yes, how do I disable that? I'm on OS x 10.6.8. Thank you.

• Why Firefox keep resetting my homepage to Google? I DON'T LIKE TO HAVE TO ADDRESS WHY EACH TIME I PULL UP OF FIREFOX

  I don't want Google as my home page, or use it as my default search engine. WHY IS that Firefox is constantly reset my homepage to Google? I hope no more Google, so I DON'T want TO HAVE IT as MY HOMEPAGE. It's really pissing me off to have to return my homepage almost everytime I open Firefox. In addition, I have my anti-spyware configured to block any attempt to change my homepage, and I see the warning popping up almost every 20 minutes. This is NOT acceptable and begins to make me question YOUR credibility if you put in your service to the things that are reached that the user very clearly and in a targeted manner wants.

  I've been a user of Mozilla for something like 18 years. This latest version is the FIRST TIME that I felt like your service is less above board. Fix it, or I'll find something else. I won't be using a product that ignores my intended way of use. I only give you the way to lea to solve this problem, because you have (at least appeared) reliable up to this point. My patience is not long in this respect.

  I'm sorry that you are having this problem. I can assure you that we will be using the homepage of your choice, and w are not even in partnership with google, because it is not something that Mozilla did it on purpose (that we will always respect your choice to the user)

  I would try the following:

  • Sometimes, this can result in a corrupted Firefox profile. Try the procedure described in How to set preferences that will not save and let me know if it works.
  • If this fails, try an update of Firefox, Firefox Refresh - reset the parameters and modules
  • Finally, this can be caused by malware. Try looking for malware with scanners to troubleshoot Firefox problems caused by malicious software

• Why Firefox 25.0 does not show Google ads and Facebook comments and love. Make all other browsers.

  I just upgraded to 25.0 FireFox and I have problems of visualization of Google ads and Facebook comments and love on my site (wellfitstyle.com). All other browsers show Google adds comments in the right sidebar and Facebook and like below each post. Many people in Eastern Europe (where I am) using FireFox and I would like to know how this problem can be solved.

  TNX.

  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).

  • Under Windows, 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.
  • On Mac, you can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key option key when starting Firefox.
  • Under Linux, you can open Firefox 4.0 + with leaving Firefox then go to your Terminal and running Safe Mode: firefox-safe-mode (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
  • 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.

  The report please come back shortly.

• Why Firefox keep changing my perefence for Google as an eingine search for tabs and the Yahoo homepage?

  I am a user of Firefox 40.0.03. I put Google as a homepage of my start page and tabs. Lately, Firefox has started taking the freedom to change my preferences from Google to Yahoo preferences. In the last two days, I changed the setting from Yahoo to Google at least 10 times. But whenever I have shut down my system, Yahoo goes Google. I checked my system for any mischievous adware and Add-ons, but there are not.
  I don't want to use Yahoo. Is it a policy of Firefox to push Yahoo down our throats?

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save

  Note: Some software, like Advanced SystemCare with surf Protection, can protect the files in the folder of Firefox profile against the changes. If you have this software, then check the settings or uninstall this software.

• 5 Firefox private browsing mode changes the google search page. Is this normal?

  Since upgrading to Firefox 5, I've noticed that when I switch to private browsing mode and go to Google, the menu at the top has a black background. I don't mind that it's a nice reminder that you're in private mode. I was wondering if this is normal?

  Google experimenting once more:

• Firefox crashes when you use the Google search

  BP-9a5cb747-1cc2-499E-816b-aff7a2141124

  When I try to search on Google, it will close automatically and it happened every day.

  Unfortunately, this accident involves your Norton software. Perhaps it checks links in Google results to see if they are trustworthy?

  Can you go to the Add-ons page and see if you can disable temporarily check links to see if that helps. Either:

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

  In the left column, click Extensions. Then locate the Norton Toolbar and a button for Options see if you can change the way it works. If all else fails, try turning it off for a few hours (Firefox can show a link to restart if necessary to disable the extension).

• Why FF spends CPU both on google search results?

  I have the problem that Firefox spends more than 10% of CPU on the display of a static page like google search results. I use Firefox on a late 2012, MacBook Pro and the constant use of the CPU so drains the battery and produces a lot of heat after some time.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. start Firefox in safe mode, disable all extensions
  2. Enter "why ff is spending cpu both on google search results ' in the address bar
  3. watch how the Firefox CPU usage goes to a constant 10%

  Additional information:
  It seems that other users have experienced the same problem too, for example,
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/954376

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/960806

  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/957512

  However, the systematic response to questions was always restart Firefox in safe mode, disable all plugins, etc, etc. I tried everything, nothing works.

  Workaround solution:
  For me, the problem occurs only on the page of google search results. I don't know what is special about this particular Web page and show why he needs so much CPU. It may be that Firefox uses a lot of CPU on others too many static Web pages. However, a simple cure for my problems (for now) is to move to some other site when Firefox is idle. CPU utilization drops at least < 1% almost immediately after that.

  Hi klopps, I don't get on Windows 7 (screen shot attached; tried both connected and disconnected).

  Google sometimes run experiments on its poster page causing people to have results different and/or a different behavior. Disconnect and clear all cookies from Google can give you a default experience, or maybe not, they don't advertise these things.

  If you want to try it:

  Just a page on the site, either:

  • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
  • Menu Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".

  In the dialog box that opens, you can delete all Google cookies individually.

  Then when you reload, bypass the cache of Firefox using the command + shift + r.

  Regarding the 3 wires you linked, it seems that everyone has a unique number. It doesn't seem to be a single explanation that applies to each of them.

• I see that google search results, scroll to the bottom and they disappear. Why?

  All of a sudden when I use Firefox, I get a list of Google search results, scroll to the bottom and poof I see only a blank page. What is going on?

  Hello jpachner,

  This happens only in Google or you have noticed other web pages? Most of these issues could be due to some changes in configuration or plugins.

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

  To exit safe mode of Firefox, exit Firefox (not just close the window) and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.

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