New Tab - How to prevent opening the Home Page

I've got Safari set to open the 'BBC News' web page as my Home Page on start up.
For some reason it has also started opening this page when I click 'Add Tab". If I click 'Add Tab' when I want to navigate to somewhere else (but not lose where I current am in a stack of pages) it has started opening my Home Page every time. Until recently, when I added a tab it would wait for me to add (or search for) a URL before loading it. Now it immediately loads my home page instead.
I don't like this so I would love to know how one turns this feature off? Lord knows how it came to be turn on. I've looked in Safari Prefs of course but I have been unable to identify the correct setting.
Regards

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the General tab.
Check your settings for: New windows open with
And select "Tabs" and check your settings there.

    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 do I get the home button in Firefox 18.0.1 to open the home pages in existing tabs instead of new tabs? I have tried some add on with no luck.

    I have tried the following Add on - Tab Utilities and Tab Mix Plus.
    Basically on start up of Mozilla, I have five tabs that load. After surfing/working a bit online, I would like to reload the five original tabs back to the original home page/load settings. If I click on the home button, five more tabs load, giving me ten tabs instead of the five original that I desire.
    Are there any other add on that would fix this. I tried the two above but either they do not offer it or I don't know what settings to choose.

    The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
    Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets.<br />
    I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

  • Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens.

    Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens. The first tab opens Google's advance search, the second tab opens a blank window. I always want Google to be in a new page.

    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • When I open a new tab it doesnt bring up my home page. I checked in tools under options and then clicked on General and it shows my home page. What can I do to get it to open with my home page?

    Just need to answer the question above it gives perfect detail to my problem.

    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.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    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/

  • Netflix just 'hangs' and won't even open the home page, although if i log in as a guest then I can access it.

    Netflix won't even open the home page to let me register and just hangs for ages. I have the same trouble on both safari and firefox but have updated both anyway. I'm guessing this is an 'identity' issue because if I log in as a guest on my own laptop I can open the netflix site, although there are all sorts of parental controls on there that I can't seem to override!

    It's not a disaster as I'm still able to watch on my ipad, however it's annoying me and I like a mystery to solve!
    any ideas?

    A password reset would certainly be a good idea. However, it could be an iCloud issue. If you Mac matches your user password to your Apple password, it could be that when you initially start up, you don't have an internet connection...
    Logging in as guest gets you connected, thus being able to authenticate. So when you change it, either make sure it's stored locally, or run some diagnostics on wifi connection upon startup. Out of interest, are you connected at the login screen (top right next to the time will tell you)?

  • When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

    I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
    I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
    Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

    If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab.<br />
    You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link

  • How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

    When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

    I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
    When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
    With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
    When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
    When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
    My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
    Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
    Thanks again for the response.

  • How do I set the home page for a new tab?

    How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

    If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
    Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
    And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button. <br />

  • After opening a new tab, when I click on my home page (the house icon), it duplicates and opens a second window...it's never done this before?

    I just installed Firefox on a new laptop. Google is my home page. My opening tab is always Google. But, when I open a New Tab, it doesn't open in Google. So, I've always clicked on the house icon to take me straight to Google. Now when I do, TWO tabs open in Google. (it duplicates)

    I tried all of the above, I've reinstalled Firefox and I've checked if value set to 3 in browser.link.open_newwindow which it is, but the problem still happens.
    Regarding what you say re what is written in the article Tab preferences and settings, I understand what this means. However I am using FireFox in my work. I have a CRM where I constantly click on a button that automatically opens my order system on a new tab, or email templates in a new tab etc. The tab opens next to the tab I am currently on. However ever since I was prompted to Refresh Firefox earlier, it now opens these in a new window. Therefore the size of these pages has nothing to do with it, as this was not a problem before.
    This is irritating, as no I have to go from one window to another, and where I have multiple tabs open it is making my life difficult.
    Not happy!

  • When opening a new tab how can i get the yahoo search engine off of the new tab to where its just a blank tab ?

    When opening a new tab it automatically loads the yahoo search engine in the new tab. It use to just open a blank tab..how do I remove the Yahoo search engine from loading in a new tab ?

    To make it a blank page again go to:
    Tools and then click on add-ons
    Then scroll down and disable "My.Freeze.com Net Assistant"
    This should fix your problem :)

  • Firefox STILL does not open the home page when a new tab is selected

    I have just 'upgraded' to FF4 and expected that the irritating 'new tab homepage load situation' would have been resolved by now: sadly, it looks to STILL be around.
    MS IE has been loading the homepage DIRECTLY when a new tab is selected for about FOUR YEARS now, so I'm staggered that such a simple but very useful feature is not available in Firefox.
    The obvious question is WHY??
    In IE, you don't have to keep hitting the home page button to carry out a search in google when a new tab is selected, and IE does NOT need an 'add-on' to incorporate this functionality; it really is quite irritating that the function is still not built-in to FF, and the coding requiret to incorporate the function ain't rocked science Mozilla people - WHY has this not been put into effect by now?

    Some people prefer a blank tab because it takes no time to load. Some people prefer their home page. Some people prefer a list of most frequently used sites. It would be convenient if all of these options were built in, but obviously no one stepped up and made it a priority.
    By the way, another way to search in a new tab is: Using the search box (on the toolbar), after typing your query, either press Alt+Enter or Ctrl+click the magnifying glass. This opens the search in a new tab and saves that step.
