I want my home page to open when I open a new window.

I set up my home page and all is fine, but when I open a new window, the page that opens is a generic BING page, and I have to click on the home button to get the home page to appear. Is there a way to set firefox to always open my home page?

Type '''about:preferences#general'''<Enter> in the address bar.
There are two settings;
* '''When Firefox Starts'''
When the browser is started, what do you want to
display. Many of us choose '''Show My Home Page.'''
* '''Home Page'''
When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
# '''Use Current Page'''. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
# '''Use Bookmark'''
# '''Restore To Default.''' about:home shows a Mozilla home page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
'''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
'''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
'''about:blank''' (a blank page),
or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about:''' page you want.

  • When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    Extra pages can be a sign that a bad add-on has crept into your Firefox. For example, an Astromenda infection.
    cor-el pointed you toward Firefox's Add-ons page, and I suggest also checking here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    For further cleaning, try the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

  • How do I get Firefox's home page to open a new tab when searching?

    I'm slightly modifying Firefox's about:home page, and I'm trying to get the home page to effectively be its own app tab. In order to do that, I need to make it so that when I search with it, it opens a new tab to view my search results.
    I've tried two things so far; I've tried adding the attribute '''target="_blank"''' to the '''<form>''' tag, and I've tried adding the attribute '''onclick="this.form.target='_blank';return true;"''' to the '''<input>''' tag nested inside of the '''<form>''' tag (I'm guessing the latter is JavaScript lol). I also tried an extension "TabSubmit" which didn't work here.
    I know how to edit the right page (I'm changing the contents of aboutHome.xhtml in omni.ja), and have already edited the stylesheet slightly (to underline links when hovering over them and adjusting the fading of Mozilla's logo when hovering over it). This is the next change I wanted to make.
    Any suggestions? Thanks!

    The about:home uses window.location.href = url; to change the location of the current tab.
    Changing this to window.open(url); and adding a line at the end of the aboutHome.js file to initialize localStorage works for me with a locally saved about:home page.
    <pre><nowiki>function onSearchSubmit(aEvent)
    let searchTerms = document.getElementById("searchText").value;
    if (gSearchEngine && searchTerms.length > 0) {
    const SEARCH_TOKENS = {
    "_searchTerms_": encodeURIComponent(searchTerms)
    let url = gSearchEngine.searchUrl;
    for (let key in SEARCH_TOKENS) {
    url = url.replace(key, SEARCH_TOKENS[key]);
    window.open(url);
    aEvent.preventDefault();
    localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";</nowiki></pre>

  • I want my home page to open every time I open a new tab. Where is the setting for that?

    When I open a new tab it is always blank. I want it to automatically open to my home page every time I open a new tab.
    I thought I found a setting for this, but I can not find it now.

    There is no setting for this, but 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.

  • When i click a link on any web page mozilla opens a new window instead of opening the link on the opened window?

    when clicking on any link on any webpage a new window opens.
    Eg. On the bbc home page if you click "news" a new window opens instead of going to the news page of the web.

    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).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    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.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

  • Navigate to Web Page always opens a new window

    Hi,
    I am using action link "Navigate to Web Page" for column interaction. The source report is in a dashboard page and by clicking on this column should navigate to another dashboard page carrying some parameters.
    It works fine but everytime it opens a new browser window for navigation. But my requirement is to make this navigation happen in the same browser window. Can anyone please help me with a solution on this?
    My version of OBIEE is 11g.

    Did you check to have the results to be 'embedded in section' in your dashboard section properties?

  • Pages always opens a new window on the wrong monitor

    Is there anyway to fix this I don't understand why always open on the wrong monitor I can't seem to open on the correct one

    OS X 10.8.4:
    Drag the window back to the correct monitor and position it where you want it to open. Make certain that you actively save and close your documents before quitting Pages.
    In System Preferences > General, check the box adjacent to Close windows when quitting an application.
    Your Shutdown, Restart, and Logout dialogs should have the “Reopen windows when logging back in” unchecked.
    If this does not correct the problem, select all contents (command+A) of the following folder only, and then use the right button to select the menu item, “Move to Trash.”
    /Users/yourlogin-name/Library/Caches/
    Also, drag the following file to the Trash as well:
    /Users/yourlogin-name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    Empty the Trash. (You may have to reboot to fully empty the Trash.)
    The next time you launch Pages, the application window will open where you want it.

  • Want HTML Help Link to Open in New Window

    Using TCS V1.3 with the latest patches.
    Single source project from FM to RH -- output to HTML Help.
    I'd like certain links in the HTML Help to open into a separate window. Is there a way to set this up from FM? Apparently, WebWorks has a setting to accomplish this task - I don't see a similar setting in RH.

    Hi there
    I don't believe either of these is may be possible with a simple tweak you perform in the Frame source. Then again, the extent of my Frame knowledge is totally laid out with this:
    Everything I know about Frame.
    Click Start > Programs > Framemaker.
    The Framemaker application may open.
    Something happens after that, but I can't be certain.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Firefox shows wrong page when application opens a new window

    Only fails since V4.0.0 installed.
    pages that open a new window using window.open(url) sometimes produce a page from cache instead of the page to be loaded. This seems erratic. Often, failure starts after a popup window loads and is closed, then attempts to open a different popup will produce the first page contents (or the default home page) instead of the page requested. Seems as tho there is a bug in FF determination of whether to fetch page from cache or new. Tried setting '''browser.cache.check_doc_frequency''' to 1 and while that seemed to help, it did not resolve all the errant behavior.

    To restore the original behavior, you could try removing the explicit site-specific permission by deleting the site from this dialog:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content > "Exceptions" button to the right of Block pop-up windows
    Does that work?
    Also, I don't recognize this part:
    ''At the bottom of the window would be the URL address(es) of the popup page(s), so that if I wanted to access a page, I could simply click on the address and a new tab would open with the new page.''
    Oh, wait a minute, I just reviewed your "More system details" list again and it appears that you have a custom pop-up handler:
    * Extension: Adblock Plus Pop-up Addon 0.7
    * Modified setting: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage: False
    So if the above reset doesn't resolve it, you might need to review the add-on's settings in case it has its own list.

  • When i click a link inside clickbank and some other pages it opens in a window with no page link-just blank-i have set options to open in a new tab.

    in some web pages this opens a new window when i click the link-the new window has no address and is blank.i have marked my uptions for a new tab to open instead of a window.

    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]]
    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.
    * 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")
