When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

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.

For some unaparent reason opening a new tab does not open my home page google. Been ok for years

Now on Firefox 28.0. I got an update for Divx and installed. Following this new tabs were direct to search.conduit. I uninstalled this but now when I open new tabs I get a blank page and have to manually direct to my homepage. Previously a new tab opened automatically as my home page (Google). Starting Firefox gets me the correct homepage. How can I ensure that each new tab opens to my homepage?

Your settings might have switched when you installed DivX. You can set the new tab page to something different by the following:
*Navigate to about:config
*Click ''I'll be careful, I promise!''
*Search for '''browser.newtab.url'''
*Double click the string, erase ''about:newtab'' and enter the one you want (www.google.com)
*Close down Firefox and re-open.

Firefox 3.6.13 - Why, when I use the dropdown File menu to open a new window, does FF open my Home Page tabs? All I want is a blank page.

I have four tabs in my home page:
2 - https://mail.google.com/mail/;
1 - http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch;
1 - http://www.facebook.com/login.php
When I use the "File" drop-down menu I want only a blank page, but I get the four tabs. How go I get other New Windows to open as blank pages?

A new window open by default with the Home page(s), tabs open a blank page.
The only ways to avoid opening a new window with the home page is either to set the home page to about:blank (ie disabling the home page) or use a bookmark with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open that link in a new window.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How do I set Firefox preferences to automatically open links in a new tab (just like Firefox3) ?

For example, when clicking on a link from a Google search, how can I have the link open automatically in a new tab as opposed to replacing the current page ?

Hey, cor-el -- long time no see! Hey, I have a problem, & my brain isn't working well enough to suss it out at the moment. :(
For some reason in the last week or so, links selected from either bookmarks or address bar no longer open automatically on selection, plus google search has disappeared from the nav toolbar . (Don't ask "what add-ons have you updated?" I don't know, & the add-on manager says I haven't done any recently.)
I checked about:config for browser.search.openintab; value is still set true. I toggled it false, restarted FF, then re-toggled true & another restart -- no joy. :(
I'm running 7.0.1 (release channel) on my work machine & the latest 8.x beta candidate at home; both exhibit the same behavior, so I'm assuming it's not a beta bug. What am I missing? I know it has to be something simple, but my brain refuses to compute. I know I could use safe mode & successively re-enable my add-ons, but I don't really have the time or mental clicks available.
I'm hoping it's something simple since I really don't have time to plod through everybloodydangthing for the one bad value that I'm sure is causing it. :/
Regards & Happy Monday!

How do I set up iTunes to automatically open when I plug in my iPad

How can I set up my iTunes program to automatically open iTunes once I plug in my iPad ?
MacBookPro IOS M-Lion
Whenever I want to sync my ipad- once I connect both units I have to manually open itunes to continue ???
Any set up suggestions ?
Thanks

You might want to check this as well... Although I'm not familiar with Mountain Lion since I am still running Lion, but I think it is pretty much the same in ML....
Open System Preferences and click on Users and Groups. Click on your your account and then click on Log In Items and make sure that iTunes Helper is checked.

Idea for enhancement: When in the bookmarks menu, how about in each folder adding an choice of "Bookmark Current page in this folder". ie this would appear like the "Open All in Tabs" choice does now. Where soudl I post this idea?

New tab does not open to home page

Previous version of Foxfire allowed for opening a new tab to your homepage. I cannot find that setting in Firefox 6.
BTW, please quite screwing with Firefox. You're not making it better.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Service Manager 2012 R2 UR2 crashes (occasionally) on clicking the refresh bar

Hello all,
Hoping someone can help/advise please?
We have a sporadic issue where SCSM 2012 R2 UR client console crashes when the Refresh View bar (seen at the top of a list of Incidents when something is updated relating to that list)
is clicked to refresh a view list of Incidents. We see the issue approximately once a day per analyst, however it doesn't occur every time we click the refresh bar.
So far we have had five of our analysts see this issue, they are people who use SCSM
continuously throughout the day.
Note: We are also using the Advanced View Editor from SCSMSolutions Support, but are not sure if
this is linked and the issue didn't exist before upgrading from SCSM 2012 SP1 which we carried out recently.
Directly below is the Error message seen at the time of the crash, and below that is the Event log associated to the issue. We see no other related event logs.
Many thanks for any help!

Apologies, I have spoken to the people most effected and they say it is only when clicking the refresh bar.

Front page opens works shortly freezes. only yellow green buttons work. I click yellow to minimize normal top bar menu appears I choose new page, opens works normally. The restart saved tabs does not work on that first page.

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. 
You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link

When I click the URL bar or the search bar, it doesn't select the text or show the cursor like it used to.

AS the question says, when I clicked the search bar in previous versions, "Google" would disappear and I would see the flashing cursor. When I clicked in the URL of a blank tab, it would select all the text, and I would see a cursor when I typed or backspaced to remove the selected text. Now, none of that happens.
After a bit of troubleshooting, it appears that any theme I use causes this issue.
In the previous version of Firefox, I used the exact same plugins add-ons and theme, and never had this issue.
I went thru and tried disabling all the add-ons and plugins, and unless I run in safe mode, I have the same result. None of the add-ons or plugins causes this. It seems to be any theme I use that causes this.

Firefox 15+ will still display the grayed placeholder text if you click an input field or text area. 
The placeholder text will only disappear after you have typed at least one character.
Does a present URL get selected if you click or double-click the location bar?
There are some prefs to set what will happen if you click the location bar:
* browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll
* browser.urlbar.doubleClickSelectsAll
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

Is it possible when opening a new tab to automatically open the same as default home page ie Google?

I would like to set all new tabs to open to Google home page, is this possible?

If Google is already set as your only home page, you can try middle-click or CTRL+left-click the '''Home icon''' to open that home page in a new tab.
Or, you can install this Add-on to open the page you choose when clicking the New Tab icon or clicking Firefox button > New Tab > New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*After install and restarting Firefox, set the options for that Add-on: Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to that Add-on

How do I set the blank tab (+) to go to my home page instead of blank page when opend?

How do I set the blank tab (+) to go to my home page instead of blank page when opened?

You can do that by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage].

Even though set to open to home page, Firefox always opens in a new tab and to the previous tabs. All settings seem correct. I just want it to open in a new window to my home page

I cannot open Firefox in a clean new window to the home page. Options are set to open to home page and open new window in new tab is deselected. I do not want my history coming up every time I open. All new pages come up in a new tab with the existing one staying put.

This happens when I have multiple windows open. I have one window minimized on the task bar. I then launch a new firefox window and start surfing, opening multiple tabs in that window. Then I close that window. (My original window is still minimized in the taskbar). Now, I launch a new firefox window and the tabs that I had opened in the window I had just closed are all back.
If I close all windows and then launch firefox, it goes to my home page.
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.

When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page
