How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • How to make firefox open a blank page every time i open a new tab

  • Every time I open a new tab, it no longer goes to the standard "you've opened a new tab" page, but to a searchwebsite of Babylon. How do I fix this?

    Every time I open a new tab, it no longer shows the standard Firefox "new tab" page, but a search-website by Babylon. I don't know how to fix this.

    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
    * Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
    After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
    It's possible that ''Babylon ''will add itself to more than one place in '''about:config'''. Therefore, after completing the above steps, open about:config again, type "''babylon''" in the filter at the top and for every instance where you see a setting with that name in it, right click it and choose ''''''Modify ''''''and then ''''''Reset''''''. Then close Firefox and restart it. See example screenshot.
    Babylon search and toolbar will be installed with an IM chat client called ''Digsby'' if you don't opt out of it during the installation. See the info at the foot of this page: http://techshali.com/digsby-instant-messenger-and-email-manager-social-networks/

  • Music plays every time I open a new tab. New problem. Nothing stops it. HELP!

    This is something that just started and it's driving me crazy. Every time I open a new tab, irritating music starts to play. I have done all the other solutions I saw, including installing and then disabling CoolPreview, which I never had to start with. I have done a complete system scan and no malware was found. don't know what is causing this but I want it to end. I have not added any new add-ons or extensions. It sounds like cheesy video game music or PCH music. Any ideas?

    I found out what was happening!
    ginabgood1 mentioned music from PCH, I, foolishly, signed up with them too (then unsubscribed because they were sending me TONS of "entries" constantly) and it was after that I had this problem.
    Even though there was not a link to them on my new tab page the music would play every time I opened a new tab.
    What I did was start deleting the links at the bottom right of the page, I eventually had a PCH link page show up and deleted it. The music has now stopped playing whenever I open a new tab.

  • How to stop an error message that pops up every time I open Safari. It reads...Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin PithHelmet .As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.

    How do I stop this error message from popping up every time I start up Safari ?
    Error message reads...
    Safari 5.1 (v6534.50) has not been tested with the plugin Pithhelmet 3.0b6 (v 3006)
    As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer.
    I have removed every trace of Pithhelmet, (via spotlight)
    Trashed the preferences for Safari, restarted computer to no avail.
    It just  keeps keepin on.
    Thanks

    In the past I was able to bypass the message by editing the Info.plist file and updating the MaxBundleVersion variable, but not so this time around. As of today the developer seems to indicate there's no immediate fix becuase of how Safari 5.1 handles multiprocess page rendering. Probably best to stay tuned to Mike's website for now.

  • How can I re-set new tab homepages? A website has made itself appear every time I open a new tab.

    -> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Incompatible/Unwanted/Suspicious Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

    Try to reset the funmoods prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *Open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>funmoods</i> via the Search bar at the top of the about:config page.<br />

  • For some reason Bing has creeped onto my Firefox browser. Now every time I open a new tab, it automatically goes to the Bing search window. How do I remove this?

    I do not recall downloading Bing or ever setting Bing up as a default search engine. My Home Page was also changed to MSN, but I fixed that.

    There have been several threads about this add-on during the past few months...
    It is important to check the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features to remove the source(s). These may include the following:
    * Incredibar
    * MyStart
    * Web Assistant
    After that, restart Firefox and start clearing out its settings as described in the following threads. Many users find it simpler to "Reset" than to take multiple steps to clean-up Firefox. That's up to you.

  • How do I permanently set the zoom-function, so I will not have to zoom every time I open a new tab/page?

    I have recently installed Firefox on my one month old laptop which has a 17" screen. Every time I open Firefox I have to use the zoom-function (ctr +) four times to be able to read comfortably. Every time when I next open a website, or tab, or window I have to use the zoom-function again. This is kind of getting old, fast.
    Is there any way I can set the zoom to a higher/closer setting permanently, so I do not have to use the zoom-function about 50 times everytime I use the internet?
    If you could help me that would be lovely!
    Thanks,
    Kikki

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
