When I click on a tab it comes up blank. Before it came up with website, how do I correct it so it's not a blank page?

I just want to be able to click on on the tab and have a search engine come up instead of a blank page. It used to do that but now it doesn't. How can I correct the problem???
Thanks.

The default action in Firefox when you open a new tab is to display a blank page. Many extensions can change that action, try this one.
NewTabURL extension <br />

    I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

    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 on a link, i get a blank page saying "enter web address

    when i click on a link, i get a blank page which says
    "enter web address"

    Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?

  • I want firefox to open the home page when i open a new tab instead of a blank page.

    whenever i open a new tab, it shows me a blank page. i want firefox to go to my home page as soon as i click on new tab button.

    If you want to have a choice of blank or homepage in a new tab, there is a simple way around this.
    Open the Customize window and put the Home button on toolbar if not already.
    Use the middle-click (scroll wheel on mouse) on Home button to open your homepage in a new tab, whenever you want homepage to load in a new tab.

  • From certain websites, when I click on an icon, a get a blank page with a box that says "Mozilla Firefox" above and in the box, "History and Bookmarks". I click on that and then must wait half a minute for the correct screen to open

    If I open Weight Watchers, for example, and then click on the Plan Manager icon, the above screen comes up and hides the WW screen. I click on "History and Bookmarks". Then wait. Finally the Firefox window disappears and the requested window opens. This is a new phenomenon. It did not happen when I was a member 4 months ago. This is not just for WW, however. Happened with some other website, too. Can't remember

  • Today when I opened a new tab instead of a blank page (I set this up), it opened with a search engine. I think it was bing. How do I keep this from happening?

    I want the settings I've set to remain. Lately, the search engine also changes from google to other ones. The other day it was Amazon. It's very frustrating when this happens. I'd like to know how to "freeze" the current settings so they can't be changed unless I want them to. It's very scary to think that somehow my settings change without my knowledge.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    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).

  • Sometimes when I click on a link Firefox opens a blank page. How can I fix this?

    This happens mostly when I am trying to subscribe to a site or email a page or information. Can you help please?

    Try start Firefox in Safe Mode, sometimes addons cause this issue:

    Try scan your PC, can be a malware:

    Try get a pop/ad blocker, sometimes this is results of ads:

  • Everytime i go to option set my homepage up and never saves ? so when i open a new tab it shows a blank page instead of my homepage

    firefox version is 6.0 i believe so

    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • Sometimes when I open a new tab, I get a blank burgundy screen that covers up the window and sometimes I can get rid of it and sometimes not. At this point, I'm ready to totally get rid of Firefox. what is going on?

    When I click on the plus sign by tabs, a burgundy blank screen appears over my window, blocking the tab groups except for the top portion. I can still see the URL address field and the tabs above but when I click on a tab, it comes up beneath the blank burgundy new screen on my window. I then have to open a new window but I have to start over on the tabs. I can't use the ones behind the burgundy screen. sometime when I click on the home icon the blank screen goes away, sometimes not.

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • My firefox won't create a new tab when I click on the tab. It will create a new window. It worked fine till this morning. I've rebooted several time to see if that would make a difference. It doesn't.

    I can only create tabs by clicking on a link in an email or a program or a link in the window I am viewing. It will NOT create a new tab when I click on the tab to create a new tab, nor will it create a new tab when I right click on the tab & click on create a new tab. I'm used to using tabbed browsing all the time & it's driving me nuts. HELP!
    I have not downloaded any new updates on any software or downloaded any new software in the hours before this started happening.
    Just to clarify about my original question. I meant to say that firefox will create a new window when I right click & click on create a new window but will not create a new tab when I click on create a new tab. I think what I wrote may have been somewhat confusing.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? <br />

I want my background, that is provided by the theme, to stay pemanently when i click the new tab button because the white background for a new tab is totally not my style..

    If you go to [www.zigboom.com ZigBoom] there is a customization tab that will explain how to set your about:blank (New Tab) background image using the Firefox Add-On Stylish. Hope this helps.

  • I need to find my own links when i click on (new tab +)

    really i want make my Firefox customize :
    when i click on (+) = new tab i can find preview of my links that i always use daily like
    www.footyroom.com
    www.bbcarabic.com ....etc

    When you open a new tab (or ''about:newtab'' in adress bar) you should have thumbnails of most used webpages. If you see white page, you should have button in top-right corner enabling this feature.
    You can manage thumbnails, pin them or remove.

  • HT1338 When I click on Firefox a message comes up that is already running.  But it is not working.

    Having trouble with Getting on Firefox when I click on it a message comes up that "Firefox is already running" or nothing happens at all.

    HI,
    It is possible to close the main window of some apps and not have it Quit.
    This will mean it should show the lightened area under the app in the DOCK.
    Clicking the icon in the Dock should at least bring the app name to the Menu Bar.
    The Window Menu of most will tell you the Keystrokes to bring a window to the "Front"  or make it visible again.
    I have come across this when one version gets installed without removing a previous version.
    Sometimes caused by putting all browsers in a sub folder and not loose in Applications.
    In most cases with one install using the DOCK, CMD + Tab, the Application Folder > App Icon double click brings the App to the "Front".
    Please note that "Categorising" the Tread with all the options does not always get the people with the right knowledge to your Thread.
    I know about the Messages App.
    I know the broader strokes of how the OS works  (Not so good at explaining it)

  • Is anyone having problems syncing iPhoto to iPad 2 after iOS 7.0.3 update? when I click on photos tab, I get a circular dashed loading icon that is perpetually there. It never loads the library

    When I click on photos tab, I get a circular dashed loading icon that is perpetually there. It never loads the library. i dont even see the iphoto content! thx for your help!

    I am certain too that it is possibly the 7.0.3 update. Have you tried restoring from backup? I am uncertain that might work but its worth a try.
    If that doesn't work I suggest that you give feedback to Apple directly. The more about this problem, the quicker it will get resolved.
