All my new tabs I open is emty/clean sites. Why? I want to have my homepage.

When I open firefox my startsite/homepage open correctly, but when I want to open new tabs the tab site is white/empty/clean. No adress in the navigation bar. Why doesn´t my homepage open on my tabs?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks.

You can middle-click or CTRL + left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab. You can also Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages using this add-on:
NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* Click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

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:

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it, fix?

When I start mozilla or open any link in a new window I get the desired page to load but an additional new tab page opens up along with it. I've tried switching my homepage to different things (new tab, firefox home, show blank page) but I always get an additional new tab to open. How do I get only a single page to open?

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
'''For Firefox versions previous to 29.0:'''
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
'''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Is there a way to get all new tabs to open to the right of all extant tabs?

I just upgraded from to 3.6.10 and now when I open a tab by right-clicking on a link in a current tab, the new tab opens somewhere other than the far right end of all the tabs I have open.
I want all new tabs to open to the right of the tabs I already have open, just like they used to with the previous version of Firefox I was using.

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
Double-click that preference to change the value to '''false'''

Every time I try to open a new tab, it open a whole new window and i am ending up with 6 or 7 unmanagable things, please help.

every time I try to open a new tab, it opens a whole new window, which makes what I use firefox for completely unmanagable. I also updated it the other day and all the changes I made are gone!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this evening

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I open a new tab it opens in the wrong window

I have 3 or 4 windows containing lots of relevant tabs open at all times. Helps me organize my work stuff. All of a sudden today if I try to open a new tab in one window it opens in another window. Incredibly irritating and will be a huge problem when I'm back to work tomorrow morning. Can anybody help?

You may be working in a ''dialog window''.
Starting in Firefox 4, it is intended behavior that a dialog window not be able to have new tabs. However, the developers may have applied this principle to too many styles of windows merely because the window is "small."
To open a new "normal" window, you can press Ctrl+n or use File > New Window.
A bug already has been filed (many, actually) complaining about this change, and suggesting some tweaks to this feature so that it only affects popups which were truly intended to behave like dialogs.
Current functionality: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=606678 Bug 606678 "Open Link in New Tab" shouldn't add tabs to popups]
Requested change: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 Bug 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window]
Because posts on a bug get sent to everyone on a long mailing list, it is considered poor etiquette (spamming) to add "me too" comments to a bug. However, you can "vote" for a bug to get fixed, so it might be worth registering on Bugzilla to do that if you are affected by this on a day-to-day basis.
As a temporary workaround, I created a Greasemonkey userscript. It adds a button to pages detected to be in a dialog window so you can reload them in a regular window. As a 0.1 version it's not perfect, but if you run into this problem frequently, hopefully it will help.

How do I set new windows to open my homepage, but new tabs to open blank?

I have my browser set to restore the previous session when I open Firefox, and new tabs to open blank. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and have my homepage load, while keeping the behaviors previously mentioned intact, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.
Is there any way to restore the previous behavior, or are all tabs now seen as the same now, whether they're opened as part of new windows or existing windows?

(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 search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and change from the default (about:newtab) to '''about:blank'''.
You can test immediately by pressing Ctrl+t or clicking the "+" button.

I'm using FF 3.5.18 and I do not want newer versions because : using in the Open in New Tab page opens the near tab and not as a FF 3.5.18 or is it possible to do that open in new tabs would be the end. of the new FF version

You can change a preference to make tabs open
# at the end of all open tabs
# immediately after the current tab.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
*Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
*If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
*Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
*Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
*Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
*Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

I want new tabs to open with my current homepage, not Bing - how do I change this?

Whenever I open a new tab I always get the Bing search page. I would prefer all new tabs to open my homepage - how do I do that? Is this a default setting that can't be changed?

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at this extension:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

When I open a new tab it opens a Bing search windos instead og a blank page like it used to

When I open a new tab it opens a Bing search window instead of a blank page like it used to.
When FF starts it opens a blank page like it should, but if I click on the + to the right of the current tab is when the Bing tabs open. It's just a Bing search window not the Bing homepage. If needed I can submit a screenshot of the new page.
I use 2 addons affecting tabs. Multiple Tab Handler, and Colorful Tabs.
I think SlimBrowser is an IE based browser.
I use Win pro 64 bi on a HP laptop and FF 3.6.8
I've never had this problem all the years I used FF until now
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Floyd

This is not just an Add-on problem! It's not in my Add-ons. It isn't in my Program Files. Not one single solution I've found on any of the forums has resolved the problem for myself or many others. This is extremely aggravating, and I want it gone!

When i right-click 'open in new tab', it opens new window instead.

that's pretty much it - when i want to open a link and i right click on it and select OPEN IN NEW TAB, firefox opens a new window instead. this started quite recently and i have not made any changes to cause it.

I had this problem too. Inspired by cor-el's suggestion, I just disabled Tab Mix Plus 0.4.0, and the problem went away.
What is a little weird about it is that for me, all new tabs opened in the '''same''' windows. I could have several windows open, but every new tab opened in just one window, and always the same one.

I cant work out how when i open a new tab it opens with Google... simple but cant do it please help

A simple one but cant do it
all I want is each time I open up a new tab it opens in Google can do it
please help

Have you got some kind of search bar added as a plugin that you need to uninstall. I note an entry in your system details mentioning 'BLNBAR'.
* see [[Searches are redirected to another site]] - also lists some sites of interest if you have malware problems
* and [[Troubleshooting plugins#w_manually-uninstalling-a-plugin]] (includes instructions on how to manually uninstall)

Hi! i'm having a problem with my safari as unnecessary new tabs keeps opening overtime i open some link! is anyone experiencing something like this !

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

When opening a new tab, IE9 opens a blank page, not the new tab page

I change my settings to open a the new tab page when I open a new tab. This works for one boot of Windows. Second boot, the settings have magically changed back to opening a blank page.
It worked to start with. I only just reinstalled Windows on this computer. Then a few days ago I didn't get my most recent sites when I opened a tab. Changed the settings. Next boot. They had reset.
It seems as if the settings do not save. I had this problem on my older computer as well. Never found a fix.
To clear up misunderstandings (there are some similar posts), when I select a link to open in a new tab, it always works.

Hi ,
In order to clarify the issue clearly, I would like to ask the following questions:
Did you make the steps below to set “When a new tab is opened” to open your first home page?
Open a new tab to your home page in Internet Explorer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-a-new-tab-to-your-home-page-in-Internet-Explorer
Will the home page change back after the second boot?
Is this setting able to be saved?
Is this your home pc?
What’s the operation system?
Generally, this issue will not persist after reinstalling the Windows.
I would recommend you to perform the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:
1. Temporarily disable all the third party security programs and boot in
Clean Boot to test the issue.
2. I would suggest you to optimizing the internet explorer for better performance and check if it helps.
How to optimize Internet Explorer (Also applicable for IE 9)
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/ro
Note: Resetting Internet Explorer’s settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot
be recovered.
