How do I get a new tab to open in google istead of a blank one ?

When I open a new tab instead of there being a search engine bar it is blank . How do I change this so when I open a new tab there is a search engine available ie : google
It was there originally and then changed to Bing ( which I hate ) and I clicked a box on the right of the screen and the search engine was gone . How do I restore this ?

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • How do I get my new tab to open to google search?

    My page used to open to avg secure search for new tabs. I figured out how to disable it but now cannot figure out how to set it so that my new tabs open to a google search.
    Thanks

    Actually it does.
    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that wasn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior and you probably did disable that extension.
    You need another extension if you want a new tab to open with a specific page.
    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/
    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.

  • How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

    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/

  • How can i get a new tab to open on my homepage

    i wish my new tabs to open on my homepage.

  • How do I get a new tab to open up in a blank page instead of a pre-set one?

    When I open a new tab, I would like it to open up a blank page, not this site: http://start.facemoods.com/?a=ust&f=2

    Since you have an extension called "Facemoods", I would guess it has something to do with that extension. Go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions , locate "Facemoods" and click on it, click either Disable or Uninstall , restart Firefox by clicking Restart Firefox in the Extensions window. Test.

  • How do I get a new tab to open with my fave search engine?

    I have Vista with the updated Firefox. I want my favorite search engine to automatically load when I select a new tab. So far, I can only get a blank page or preset group of tabs to load, not my search engine. I can get this with IE, how can I do this with Firefox? When I updated the Ask&Record toolbar to the Freecorder Community Toolbar, I deselected the changes, hoping this would not change my settings, but it seems that didn't work as expected.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

  • When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

    when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

    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.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How can I get a new tab to open to a specific page?

    I use speed dial add-on and have for a few years. I had an issue with firefox yesterday and had to reinstall it and lost all my settings. I added the speed dial add-on and tried to set it as my home page, but when I restart instead of going to speed-dial it goes to a new tab page and the homepage has changed in the options setting. No matter how many times I try and switch startup page/home page to speed dial, it keeps changing back to new tab.

    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • How can I get my new tabs to open to my homepage?

    When I open a new tab, I want the tab to open straight to my set homepage. For example, my homepage is set to Yahoo.com, so when I open a new tab, how can I make it so that tab will open right to Yahoo.com?

    Not an efficient way of using Firefox, in my opinion. There used to be a configuration option to do that but that no longer works, but either of these two extensions will do that.

    (7KB), or
    [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221 NewTabURL] (47KB).
    What I think would be better is to only open your home page when Firefox first opens. To open a Yahoo page later, use a keyword shortcut -- see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' ('''''if you have it installed'''''). It can cause that problem.

  • I cannot get a new tab to open when clicking the plus sign beside an open tab or clicking the "open new tab" button via right clicking my mouse.

    I can no longer get a new tab to open by clicking the new tab button. New tabs do open only when I click on a link in the current tab or by right clicking the home button and opening that specific page.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbX-SD/3.12.2.16749
