The "new tab" tiles can no longer be updated.

For about a month now the version of firefox on my work pc, the "new tab" tiles can no longer be updated. I can move existing tabs. I cannot add new tabs. Dragging a bookmark over an empty tile opens the link in the "new tab". If I accidentally delete a tile, it is gone forever. Firefox does not prompt me to restore it. I am running the current ver. of Firefox. I even uninstalled/re-installed to see if that had an effect, it did not. Windows7, Firefox 27.0.1

Did you manually start Firefox in private browsing mode, or is the "Always use private browsing mode" option enabled?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If you want to restore tiles you've previously deleted,
# Type ''about:config'' in the address bar and press Enter.
# Press the big button to bypass the warning.
# In the search bar, paste ''browser.newtabpage.blocked''
# In the search results, right-click ''browser.newtabpage.blocked'' and choose '''Reset'''.
Your personal data and customizations are stored in your profile folder. This folder is normally not deleted, unless you check the "Remove my personal data…" option when uninstalling.

  • I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in.  Is there a way I can tell which library I am in?

    No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

  • I have 2 ipad 2s.  On the newer one I can log in and update to IOS 5 with no problem.  On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled."  Why does it work on one ipad and not on the other?

    I have 2 ipad 2s.  On the newer one I could log in and update to IOS 5 withno problem.  On the older one I get the message "Your Apple ID has been disabled." No other explanation.  Why can I log in on one ipad and I'm disabled on the other?

    Well, I spoke too soon.  Yes, I'm using the same account on both iPads, but I just changed my password for the umpteenth time and now I get the disabled message on both iPads.  Just yesterday I was able to upgrade one to IOS 5 but got the error message on the other.  I'm getting more confused by the minute.

  • Since updating to the new version, I can no longer upload to FTP host without Muse crashing

    I updated to the latest version of Adobe Muse. Since then, I've had this horrible error when trying to upload to my ftp host. All I have done is hidden a page from the main menu, no other changes have been made.
    I am using the only modified files option.
    I get the error: 2007 - Paramater file must be non-null.
    I can see that the file causing the issue is a png file - which is a grey line that I created using adobe muse, I can see that this file is already on the website already, with the file name.
    Help?! I'm not sure what I can do to make this work again. I have tried adding the image to muse from the server - with the same file name that causes the errors, but nothing changed, the same error appeared.

    Hi
    Are you still facing the same error ? If yes, are you getting this error everytime you are trying to export ?
    Please try again and check.
    This is basically a compilation error , where files are not converted into proper format correctly.
    Thanks,

  • I want multiple Firefox windows open w/different View settings - toolbars displayed in one, not in other. With the new version, I can no longer do that ?

    I want to remove the toolbars in one open instance of Firefox but not in others.......this was possible in the prior version. Now if I change the settings in one instance, it automatically changes in the other open Firefox windows. How I can I make this work as it did before the upgrade? Thanks, Kris

    Thanks a million! It was not intuitive to "swipe" the open applications up but it works perfectly!!
    Thank you

  • 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)

  • Am I able to customize the NEW TAB window with my own selection of tiles?

    Whit this latest update most of my Tiles went away and one of the ones I have shows up on a back page and not on the landing page. I'd like to know how to customize my Tiles (add ones I need)
    Thank you

    Hi, in essence, you can just drag a bookmark to the New Tab page - you can also use drag and drop to rearrange them if you wish. There is more in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#firefox:mac:fx35 this article.]
    Hope that helps.

  • How can I turn off the new "tabs on top" layout of the new Firefox?

    Dear Mozilla,
    Te be honest I was very comfortable with the old Firefox layout and really don't like the new 'Tabs on Top' layout. It's one of the main reasons I hate Chrome.
    Is there any way I can turn it off? I haven't been able to find it.
    If not, can you direct me to a download page for the previous version of Firefox.
    Thanks and bets regards,
    Chris

    I can't help but agree with you, Chris. Computer interfaces are usually analogues for the physical world and it seems that most of the just-newly-adult population has forgotten what GUI cues are meant to be - your mention of tabs' appearing on top is a case in point.
    Has the just-newly-adult population forgotten manila folders? You know - those light-cardboard folders that you put pad paper and documents inside; ones that you slip into a filing cabinet, long-edge down, with TABS showing along the now top edge, so that you can read what they contain. Indeed, have you looked, people, Mozillians, at the symbol universally used for File/Windows Explorer? A manila folder!
    The edges of manila folders are the tabs that ....wait for it, signify what they contain or represent. Simple. Similarly the just-newly-adult population may have forgotten tabbed diaries. 'Calendar books' with tabs down the opening side that let you select a page somewhere in the diary with information in it described by words or symbols on its tab. Simple!
    Tabs should be attached, indeed, be part of, with NO separation from, the pages to which they belong, IMVHO.
    Simplify the interface, Mozilla, designed according to good real-world principles.

  • Until the latest upgrade, I could open a new tab by clicking on a cross at the end of the last tab. Now there is nothing there. I canno open a new tab. Can you help me

    At the right of the last tab, there was a cross (x). If I wanted a new web site opened while keeping the one I was in, I clicked on this and it opened a new page and I could go to other sites of my choice. The cross is no longer there, and I cannot find out how to open a new tab, and go to a new web site.

    You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
    You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
    If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.<br />
    If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.<br />

  • The new tab button no longer does anything in 15.0.1.

    Since installing the latest version of Firefox, the "New Tab" tab (with the plus sign) no longer does anything. How do I fix this bug?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • In FF 34.0.5 I use to be able to click on a link within an e-mail and the link would open in a new tab; it now opens in the same tab; how can i change it back?

    I'm using FF 34.0.5 (I like it). I use to be able to right click on a link, within an e-mail, and the link would open in a new tab. Now when I click on the link it opens in the same tab replacing my e-mail.
    Example - a friend sends me an e-mail containing a link to a web site he thinks I'd like. I click on the link and go to the web site and then go back to the e-mail tab and reply to him. Now, when clicking that link, my e-mail disappears and is replaced by the new site.
    How can I fix this? When this happened once before I was told to change the 'value' for a specific 'preference name' through the about:config page.
    Can anyone help jog my memory?
    Thanks!

    Is this about clicking a link in an external program?
    You can check this pref on the about:config page for external links.
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external (-1)
    If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;

    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • The only way I can open a new tab is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY?!?

    The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I am using Firefox 3.6 on my PC , and now, when I select File New Tab (Ctrl+T), no new Tab shows up. Nor does it show up when I click the new Tab symbol next to my other tabs. How can I get the New Tab feature to work again?

    In the past 48 hrs, all of a sudden, the New Tab feature on my PC< using Firefox 3.56, simply stopped working. I did not change settings, or download a new version of Firefox. it just stopped working. There are other scenarios where it does still work (for example, if I want to open a link on a web page, I can right click and open the link in a new tab), but if I simply want to have multiple websites open at once on my PC, I am forced to have multiple versions of Firefox open, as my New Tab option seems to be disabled or something. Can you help?

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • How can I totally disable occurrence of the New Tab tab when I right-click to open a new window?

    Whenever I right-click on a link in Firefox and choose "Open Link in New Window", the resulting new window opens with TWO tabs: a tab containing the target for the clicked link and another "New Tab" tab containing icons for sites I don't want and don't care about. Even more annoying, the "New Tab" tab is the tab that is active/selected when the new window comes up, rather than the tab for the link I right-clicked.
    This is very annoying and highly undesirable behavior. When one right-clicks on a link and chooses "Open Link in New Window", one should get a new window containing ONLY the displayed information for the target link. One should not get TWO tabs.
    How do I get rid of this behavior? I've searched via Google for a solution but haven't found one.
    I hope the Mozilla team will correct this problem very soon. I've been using Firefox for a long time and have found it to be a very good browser. However, this new behavior totally destroys my good feelings about Firefox.
    Thanks for reading my comments.

    Starting Firefox in Safe Mode does indeed get rid of the behavior I find undesirable. Thank you.
    However, I still wonder why one should have to go through the extra step (starting in Safe Mode) to avoid the second tab in the newly opened window.
    I have not added any add-ons to Firefox on my PC.
    The problem suddenly started occurring a while back, after an automatic update of Firefox to the latest version.
    Any thoughts on WHY this is happening?
