Everytime I open a new tab I have unwanted background music playing. win 7 64 Firefox 32.0.3

Idiotic system requires me to become a member? only thread does not post a solution to stop annoying background music when opening a new tab.
How do I stop whatever is causing background music to play when I open a new tab in Firefox 32.0.3?
I do not have any add ons....

Update Flash and Silverlight:
Version 5.4.2.18903
Shockwave Flash 13.0 r0
5.1.30514.0
Also may want to reset Firefox just in case there is an issue with changed preferences.
If that is not the case I also recommend a malware scan.
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/viruses/disinfection/5350 Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller]
* [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Everytime I open a new tab, "You have chosen to open: Flashplayer_V.64458942b.exe" pops up.

I have deleted the file in my downloads folder. I searched in the start button pop up for the name and deleted it from there also. I have searched online but found nothing relating to this. Does anyone know how to get rid of it. I'm hesitant to uninstall and reinstall the browser...

You can check the value of the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page.
Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Java script application appearing everytime i open a new tab

Hi,
Everytime I open a new tab on my computer, a message pops up with Java script application in a box with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark symbol. I have to click ok twice before I can continue using the internet.
Can you please tell me how to fix this, I think this happened after I upgraded my mozilla website.

hello annap2677, you have quite a few malicious addons present. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

My firefox, after update to 37.0.2 is closing everytime I open a new tab

Hello,
My firefox, after update to 37.0.2 is closing everytime I open a new tab.
I started with a new profile and have the same problem.
I formated my HD and instaled everything again, and I still have the same problem
Regards,

You can check for issues with the new tab page setting.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* the default home page is about:home
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
The browser.newtabpage.enabled pref should be set to true to use the page set via browser.newtab.url as the new tab page.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Everytime I open a new tab, it is a blank search page (Bing)..how do i change it ?

When starting Firefox my set homepage shows up, but everytime I open a new tab it goes to a blank search page automatically. How do I change it so my homepage will show every time a tab is opened?

I'm using Firefox 3.6.10
When I opened a new tab, Bing search showed up. When I start up Firefox for the first time, Google remained my home page.
I went to Tools, Add-Ons where I found a Search Toolbar that was powered by Bing. After I disabled it, new tabs opened up blank.
I downloaded Google Toolbar and now my new tabs are Google again.

Everytime I open a new tab, the firefox window gets smaller and smaller.

Every since I updated my Firefox, I have had issues. I love firefox so I would like to have this fixed please :) Well, everytime I open a new window or tab, the Firefox window gets smaller. Kind of like I hit the button by the close screen button. I have to actually hit that button to minimize the screen and hit it again to maximize it. It is sort of annoying. Is there something I can do?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Everytime I open a new tab it comes up with Yahoo, how do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

How do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

I had the same problem, in fact, I'm one of the people who clicked, "I have this problem, too!"
I used to have blank tabs when I would open them, but I downloaded some shady software that I didn't know had add-ons! I tried the "about:config" method and messed around with some of those things but nothing happened. After deleting and reinstalling firefox it still happened, and after doing a computer wide search of 'Ya' or 'yahoo' it came up empty. That told me it's combined with some other program or it's under a different name completely. When I would open a new tab, the url would come up something like:
www.click.1.3.yahoo.com/tab_search_000,00.03 blah blah blah. toward the end of the string though, the word "Freeze" appeared. So I went back to my control panel and looked for the word freeze in anything, even as the host site. I FOUND IT! It was some net assistant bug that downloaded off of some other software I had running. Hope this helps some of you!
-Kayl
PS. even if your word isnt freeze, it may be something else worth searching in your control panel :)

I cannot open any new tabs, I have done all the troubleshooting on the website, any help?

I cannot manually open a new tab. A new tab will open when clicking on a link. I have done all of the troubleshooting on the website but nothing has helped. I am using Firefox 3.6.

hello g.hill250, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

Everytime I open a new tab, I get an alert message saying the URL is not valid and can't be loaded.

I must press 'ok' before I can proceed. This happened after I clicked 'deactivate' when I got a new screen when I opened a new tab, which was also a hassle. Previously, I opened a new tab and life was good...no new screens, no messages....
What happened?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
>In Firefox 4 Safe mode also disables plugins (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and hardware acceleration (Tools > Options > Advanced > General)

Suddendly everytime I open a new tab it goes from Mozilla to Bablylon search. What is this and how do I get rid of it please? Using Firefox 5.

Hi,
When I open my Mozilla brower it opens up on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page but when I open a new tab it opens using Babylon search. This is something that has only just started happening and I don't like it and I don't want it on my machine. what can I do to get rid of it and revert back to all tabs opening with Mozilla?
Thanks for your help.

Everytime I open a new tab, Firefox automatically refreshes the currently open ones.

When I attempt to open a new tab, Firefox automatically refreshes the already opened and loaded websites in other tabs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

Opening a new tab loads an unwanted website instead of a blank page or my home page

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/808918]''
Sometime in the last two weeks firefox stopped opening a blank page when I open a new tab, and instead is now opening yahoo.
I HATE yahoo with a passion and even after going through the programs thing and deleting any yahoo programs as well as going through registry of my computer and deleting everything related to yahoo it STILL opens #$^@#&#$^& yahoo in a new tab and so far as i can tell there is no setting in firefox to make it stop doing that!
Any ideas?

The Freeze.com NetAssistant is responsible for this issue and you need to uninstall (or at least disable) that extension.

When I open a new tab, I have to move to the other side of the page to click "home". Can I set the same "home" default for new tabs?

My home page opens in the initial FireFox window, but new tabs open with a blank page. To get to my default page I have to click "home", but now it's way over on the other side of the page.
Can I set a default for new tabs?

right click on the control bar and choose "adapt" (or something like that). A window will pop up. Ignore that window and move the home button to the place you want it ''on the control bar''

Firefox just updated, now everytime i open a new tab, it opens yahoo search. I want it to open my topsites when i open a new tab. (sorry for my poor english)

Just like the question...

Type '''''about:config''''' in a new window address bar. Click ''''''I will be careful''''''. You will see all kinds of information that Firefox uses so it knows how to work. There is a search bar at the top of the page. Type ''''''browser.startup.homepage'''''' and check its entry. You can change it to what ever web page you want, or you can enter; ''''''about:blank'''''' for a blank page. I use the Firefox home page; '''''about:home'''''. After, go back to the search bar and type; '''''browser.newtab.url'''''. This is what a new tab page will display. Do the same thing here. You can have the same for both or have each open to different pages.

Everytime I open a new tab on firefox. I get this search engine page powered by Bing. I DON'T WANT IT.

I open up a new tab on firefox, and every single time I get a new search engine powered by Bing. I don't like bing first of all, second of all the random image is shows was freaking triggered massive anxiety. I don't need this crap.
There was another post that apparently 'solved' the problem but IT DOESN'T WORK. I've tried going to about: config so don't tell me that. What can I do to fix firefox's problem.

WELL. My wonderful girlfriend showed me how to fix it since I couldn't find a solution throughout Firefox's troubleshooting. BASICALLY. I restarted firefox. And voila it's fixed.
