How can I set or reset the page that is loaded when I open a new tab using Ctrl t ?? by

I recently downloaded a program that has, as an undesired additional action, apprently setup Yahoo as the page that opens by default when I open a new tab using <Ctrl> <t> (or the <+> symbol on the tab bar). This is aggravating to me, particularly as I have not been able to find a way to stop it occurring.
I expect that it is buried somewhere in my profile, but I also have not found a way to explore or edit the contents of my profile.
There is a JScript script file called "user" in ...\profiles\4g4vpust.default that I suspect is associated with the behaviour, but renaming it achieved nothing.
Prior to this, my new tabs used to open as blank pages, i.e. did not load any URL and I was happy with that. How can I get back to that state?

Did it add the freeze net assistant add-on? That add-on is known to do this. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it Firefox should revert to the default behavior.
If you do not have that add-on, another add-on will be causing this, you can use the procedure in the following link to identify what one - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

Can I set firefox to auto go to my homepage when i open a new tab

When I open a new tab I want it to show my homepage rather than a blank screen

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

I can't open a new tab using Ctrl+T or by clicking on the + symbol. I can, however, open a new tab when holding down Ctrl and clicking on a link. How can I fix this please?

I used to be able to open a new tab using Ctrl+T but that has stopped working. Having I accidentally changed something?

Disable the Ask Toolbar.

I don't want "most visited" pages to show up when I open a new tab

Is there a setting that allows me to disable having all my most recent pages visited showing up when I open a new tab?

This is what I did, hope this helps you:
# type about:config into the address bar
# Agree to not break anything at the prompt!
# Type "tab" in the search field at the top of the list
# Find the line that reads: browser.newtab.url
# Change the value to "about:blank"
# Close the config!

You've introduced TABS but I discovered by opening Yahoo and running a video that it continues when I open a new tab! Not good. Have I missed a setting or ???

You've introduced TABS but I discovered by opening Yahoo and running a video that it continues when I open a new tab! Not good. Have I missed a setting or ??? This may be just the way it is but it somewhat defeats the ease of going to a often used web site using tabs.

So, you are meaning that if you have a video running in one tab, then go to another, the video continues to run? yes, that is normal behavior.
Tabs are basically having like multiple windows inside one main window. It is just as if you opened a video in a window, started it playing, then opened a new window, the video would still play.
Or am I misunderstanding your question?

How can I customize the URL you land on when you open a new tab

Right now when I open a new tab the URL is (about:newtab which gives me the option to search yahoo.com) and I would like to land on www.google.com (as this is more useful for me). Can I customize the landing page for when I open new tabs?

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Put BrandThunder.com in the searchbar at the top, then right-click and select '''Reset''' for any preferences that appear with BrandThunder.com. Then restart Firefox.

I restored my most used sites page through troubleshooting but then downloaded stylish and the alt. browser came back when i open a new tab. Help?

I downloaded some dodgy software and having cleared it up it seems to have installed an alternative browser (delta?) and toolbar to my firefox. I've uninstalled the toolbar, but when i open a new tab, instead of my most used pages, it came up with the delta browser. So I followed the instructions on here and troubleshooted and restored the default settings of firefox. This worked until I re-installed the add on Stylish to customise webpages, and now it seems to have come back. Having uninstalled stylish it hasn't changed. Can i not use stylish now, or is there a way of my completely getting rid of this delta, enabling me to use the add on as before?

Note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
# Shockwave Flash 11.8 r800
# Shockwave Flash 11.7 r700
You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove older version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32).
*(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
*(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the about:plugins page. 
There is no need to toggle the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true in Firefox 22 and later, so leave this pref set to false.

How do I change what page Ffirefox goes to when I open a new tab?

I want my page to go to the default "about:blank" page when I open a new tab. But my mother installed a software that forced a new tab to go to a Yahoo search bar page. Is there any way to change it back?
I have checked my add-ons and uninstalled any pertaining to Yahoo and it still persists.
Using version 7.0.1.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

The cursor won't focus when I open a new tab

I've read through multiple threads on this in attempt to not waste people's time with a silly question. After trying the myriad of ideas, the problem persists. When I open a new tab whether with about:newtab or about:blank, the cursor does not focus anywhere. It doesn't matter if I use cntrl t or the "+". I'd like to get it to focus in the address bar by the end of things.
Here is what I've tried:
I've changed the the about:newtab to about:blank. This didn't work.
I disabled all extensions - which is to say the Classic Theme Add-On which is the only one I have. That didn't work.
I started in Safe Mode, that didn't work.
I've reset Firefox. That didn't work.
I've reinstalled Firefox, that didn't work.
I'm concerned that I'll have to get lucky like https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972359 and wake up to the problem resolving itself. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

On the first window, it works fine. On a new tab, it stops?
Have you tried to open another window as a test? New tab on new window?
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Start Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web link}
While you are in safe mode;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''General.'''
Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.
Poke around safe web sites. Are there any problems?
Then restart.

How can I eleminate yandex.ru, which appears as my browser whenever I open a new tab?

My homepage is google, and my browser is mozilla. But everytime I open a new tab the browser changes to yandex.ru. I can't seem to find where to eliminate it.

You have possibly inadvertently installed some software of malware that is causing this. If it is not visibly listed in your Firefox add-ons you may need to change your preferences and find and remove the software. The problem software may be listed as a program in your Vista OS listing and it may be easy to uninstall or it may be more problematic.
See
*[[cannot uninstall an add-on]]
* [[troubleshooting plugins]]
* [[searches are redirected to another site]]
Post back with how you get on. If the problem turns out to be more malicious then have a look at this post [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/757994#answer-109685] for suggestions.

I can no longer open a blank new tab by clicking on the +on the far right of my tabs. And I cannot open a new tab using CTRL T either. This has been happening since your last firefox update!

Prior to one of recent upgrades in late September, I was able to open a new tab but using the + on the right unused tab. This does absolutely nothing now. I have even tried the CTRL T function and it does not work either.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbGAM1/3.13.1.18107

How do I remove Yahoo search and replace it with google when I open a new tab

I have tried everything that I can think of and every time I open a new tab, it opens in Yahoo search and not in google like it had before.

1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn those off and relaunch Safari again.
    Turn those on one by one and test.
2. Use free AdwareMedic by clicking “Download ” from here
     http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php
     Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
     Once done, quit AdwareMedic by clicking AdwareMedic in the menu bar and selecting
    “Quit AdwareMedic”.

How can you set (or reset) different page sizes within 1 pdf?

I am working on a pdf with various page sizes. Say one page at 8-1/2 x 11, another at 11 x 17, and another at 22 x 34. I obviously can't print as "Choose paper source by PDF page size" as one printer can't do all sizes. I would like to change the 22 x 34 to 11 x 17. How can I change the page size setting of one page within a multiple-paged pdf?

You can play with the Crop tool. You'll find it is easier to "size up" than "size down".
May have to extract and bin PDF pages by the virtual page size then work on them.
However, if all you want is to have the content on hard copy and having that on a common sheet size (say Letter) then consider this alternative:
Make a working copy of the PDF.
With the PDF open in Acrobat, open the Pages panel. Expand the panel width as desired.
Now, Ctrl click through the PDF page thumbnails that have a landscape orientation.
Rotate these 90 degrees to a portrait orientation.
Alt+D+T or Shift+Ctrl+R
Save as you go.
With all pages in a portrait orientation, use the attached printer to print.
In the Print dialog locate the entry for 'page scaling' and select Fit or Shrink to Printable Area.
All PDF pages' content will be scaled such that all page content fits in an imprint on the Letter size paper.
Or, go the other way and have the imprint of PDF page content fill a larger sheet size.
Just a function of what the printer accepts for paper size and the features provided in the printer driver.
Be well....

I love the tiles of my most used pages which come up when I open a new tab. 9 used to show up but now there are only 3. How can I get the others back.

I have explored the suggested solution pages but if the answer was there I did not understand it. I have clicked on the cog at the top right hand corner of the page and changed from Enhanced to Classic, but that did not give me my 9 tiles back. I shall be most grateful if one of you folk with more savy can help me.
Lynette

You can zoom out the about:newtab page to resize the tiles.
*View > Zoom > Zoom Out; Ctrl and +
This will affect all elements on the page, so text get smaller as well.
Toggle the browser.newtab.preload pref on the about:config page in case of issues with zooming the about:newtab page.
You can look at this extension:
