How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?
Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?
The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
*browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
*browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

Iwant to configure my new tab with google which is my home page,how can I do that,can any one give suggestion to me please?
A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/ -

I am trying to understand how I can set up a series of pages for each of several subdomains such that when you view that web page it shows on the subdomain without the subdirectory name. Essentially I suppose I am wanting to point the subdomain at a folder...
For example I have my main site with the domain mysite.com.au and have 3 subdomains sub1.mysite.com.au, sub2.mysite.com.au etc... I want to then store the pages relating to each subdomain in their own subdirectories /dir01, /dir02 and /dir03 or otherwise named as something appropriate.
What want is to I have the page page1.htm in each of these subdirectories such that I can view the page with the url "http://sub1.mysite.com.au/page1.htm" and have the url displayed as such once loaded rather than having to enter http://mysite.com.au/dir01/page1.htm
Is this a simple or complicated process to put in place?Hello Julie.
Your junk filter appears to not be working properly. Try this first:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail and disable junk mail filtering.
2. Quit Mail, then open it again.
3. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk mail filtering, and configure it however you wish -- I recommend you to leave it at the default Automatic settings.
4. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset). -
How do I set a new tab page so it isn't the ask home page but a blank page?
I can't find a way to get the home page back to normal.
Can't you change the home page setting permanently?
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to <b>ask.com</b> and reset related user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.

How can I set a custom Home Page while ALSO having a New Tab be the default Mozilla Page?
Why is the "home Page" = to a New Tab page? Why are they linked. I want my.yahoo.com to be my Home Page (currently set properly) but my New Tab page seems to be set to "Conduit" and has a search bar. I have no idea where that came from or how it got set that way. I want to have my current Home Page but make any New Tabs be the Mozilla Default Page with a Google search bar. Is that possible? I am running on Windows XP.

When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?
If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

How can I change the search engine in the new tab page?
When I click on the + to open a new tab, I get the new tab page, which displays the previous sites I visit the most. No problem. But in the search window, if I do a search it uses Yahoo. I don't like Yahoo. I would like to change to another search engine, you know, one that's more obscure such as Google. Can anyone help me?
Look at the search bar. Do you see the icon of the current search engine?
Click the arrow next to the icon. you should now see a list of your search
engines. At the bottom, select '''Manage Search Engines.''' Now a window
will open of all your engines. Select the one you want as your default. On
the right of the list you will see a set of up/down arrows. Click the up arrow
until the engine you want is at the top of the list. Then press '''Okay.'''
Once the window is closed, your choice should now be displayed in the
search bar. -
how do I set the new tab page to a page of my choice?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How can I return my new tab to the default blank page?
My brother did something which made the new tab page a Yahoo search page. I'd much rather it be the blank page, selecting the address bar. I downloaded the newtabURL add-on and selected the option blank page, highlighting the URL, along with some other stuff and saved it. When I restarted though, Yahoo was still my default new tab option.
I have no idea where this is coming from, I've checked my add-on list, control panel, and extensions list and cannot find anywhere he set Yahoo to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help, and please state some of the obvious solutions I might have overlooked.Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).

How do I display more icons on the New-Tab page? I tried about:config
The New-Tab page I see doesn't match what FF shows in help. I changed rows and columns and nothing changed.
Hello,
With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page and will limit the tiles based on what you entered for your rows and columns in the '''about:config''' page:

I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
(I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
So, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic

You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
* See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
* Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26

You can only edit the content of the chromeappsstore.sqlite file with an SQLIte manager like this Firefox extension:
* SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
# open Profile Directory -> chromeappsstore.sqlite -> Go
# open Table > webappsstore2
# select the "Browse & Search" tab to see all entries in that table
You can select the "batwen.:about" "blockedLinks" line and click the Delete button on the toolbar to remove that record and reset the deleted sites.
