A search page comes up when I open a new tab. How do I get rid of it?

When I open a new tab, some 'searchqu' site comes up instead of the new tab page. Does anyone know what's wrong with it? Is it something I installed? Is it some freaky add-on that never will like me? OAO

I don't want yahoo search to come up when I open a new tab how do I make it so it does not go to yahoo?

Before my last upgrade when I opened a new tab it would open to a new window without yahoo or any other page just blank that is what I would like to happen now.

Did you try opening '''about:config''' and filtering on the url (or part of it) to see if there is a configuration variable involved.
How did you remove the toolbar and application, did you have to go into the control panel or did an extension sim,ply uninstall..

I updated to Firefox 3.6.13 and now have no Web page previews/thumbnails when I open a new tab - how do I get them back?

Whenever I opened a new tab with older versions of Firefox 3.6.n, I would see thumbnails of some of the pages I'd visited before. I love this feature, but I do not know how to restore it after downloading and installing FF 3.6.13. What do I need to do to get this feature back? Is there a possible conflict with another add-on or toolbar? I have these toolbars: Google, The Free Dictionary, and Amazon.com. (The plug-ins you can see below.) Incidentally, the Firefox version displayed in the "educated guesses" section is not correct: it shows 3.0.11 and using the Help menu and choosing About Mozilla Firefox, it displays 3.6.13.

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

Or visit the Google Toolbar forum.

As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this:

You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

When I open a new tab, how can I get the curson to be on the URL line instead of in a search engine box?

When I open a new tab I almost always I know the URL of where I want to go. Therefore I do not want my cursor to be placed in the box of a search engine upon opening the new tab. I want it to be on the address line.

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.

I accidentally changed my settings so another website is opened when I open a new tab; how do I get it back to the default quick links on a new tab?

The site that is shown is Ask.com, and it changed because when I downloaded iLivid installer I didn't uncheck the boxes that asked me if I wanted to make this change.

I'll list out the steps, but please note that any Ask-related extensions still in Firefox can override your preference, so you might want to check for and either disable or remove any such extension here first:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Here is how you can set/reset what appears on a new tab:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) To get the page thumbnails, right-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and choose Reset
(4) For other choices, double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Blank tab''
about:blank
''(ii) Built-in Firefox home page''
about:home
''(iii) Any other page''
full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

When I open a new tab how can I get firefox to display my homepage instead of a blank page?

I know how to set my homepage for when opening firefox, but I can't find how to make newly opened tabs automatically load my homepage. Can this be done? Seems like opening a new tab only allows a blank page to load.

All my tiles are gone when I open a new tab, how do I get them back?

This is hopeless. Suddenly, all my frequently used tiles are gone from the "new tab"-page.
And they do not restore, even if I visit the same pages.
The new tab-page are just full of empty squares.
How do I get them back?
I tried to follow the instructions on how to get new tiles in, but the buttons that I'm supposedly to use are not present.
Thanks so much for replying. This is driving me crazy!

Yes, I can drag a history item or bookmark to a tile, and several will appear in tiles. BUT, they disappear again as soon as I open a new tab.
Settings are set to "Remember history".

When I open a new tab I no longer get the search bar with all of my recent pages, how do I restore this back to the default?

I was on demonoid and I accidentally installed some software that I didnt want to. Once this happened I noticed that on both of my browsers firefox and chrome that this search site named trovi.com has taken over as my homepage and over my new tab. I fixed the problem on chrome and I fixed the home page problem on Firefox, what I cant figure out is how to get rid of this bane when I open a new tab. All I have all of my useful sites pinned there and it is very annoying.
I have been searching through all the options and cannot find a way to change this back to default without restoring the entire browser back to default. Which I really dont want to do. Thanks in advance
THis is the problem

I deleted bing as one of my search engine choices, but the bin page still appears when I open a new tab. How do I stop the bing page showing up?

I clicked on the search engine emblem and then I clicked on the "manage search engines" line. I then deleted bing as a search engine option. However when I open a new tab the bing page appears on my screen. How do I stop this from happening?

This thread has some solutions:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/762043
The most straightforward seems to be: hold Ctrl and Left-Click on the Reload button. You could also Middle-click on the Reload button (e.g. "click" with the mouse wheel, if you have a wheel-mouse.) The thread above also has some other options.
Edit: you could also hold Ctrl and drag a tab next to itself to clone it, another suggestion from the above thread.

How do I change the default page that appears when I open a new tab or window?

I downloaded a program (Babylon) to translate text. After trying it out, I removed the program using their uninstall and then the add/remove functionality within windows. Nevertheless, remnants remain. When I attempt to open a new tab in Firefox (and IE for that matter), I get the Babylon Search page. In Chrome, when I changed the homepage, it eliminated the issue when opening a new tab. How do I establish a new default page when I open a new tab?
