Can I have a "New Tab" ( the plus sign on the Tabs Toolbar) open up my Default Hone Page Automatically?

The Top of this screen reads
"Ask a Question | Firefox help
"File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help"
"Ask a Question | Firefox Help |+| ( the "+" is in a grey square)
When I click on the |+| sign in its grey square, it Opens up a New Tab, good, and
Invites me to complete a web address, or to select from Web Address Favourites Toolbar.
What I would really Prefer is for it to Open up a New Page of my Default Home Page.
Is this Possible and as the default option in opening up a new tab.
Given that this |+| tab is not used when opening a new page from the Website favourites, and is also not used when opening a new page from an existingly open webpage, then What is its purpose if not to open a new Occurrence of the Home Page??

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.

  • I can't get a new tab to open, either by pressing the + sign, going to file new tab or by right clicking and selecting new tab. What's the problem?

    I can't get a new tab to open. I've tried pressing the + sign, going to file-new tab and by right clicking and selecting new tab. Why won't a new tab open?

    Try "Ctrl+T" for a new tab.

  • How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

    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/

  • How can I get a new tab to open to a specific page?

    I use speed dial add-on and have for a few years. I had an issue with firefox yesterday and had to reinstall it and lost all my settings. I added the speed dial add-on and tried to set it as my home page, but when I restart instead of going to speed-dial it goes to a new tab page and the homepage has changed in the options setting. No matter how many times I try and switch startup page/home page to speed dial, it keeps changing back to new tab.

    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • How can I get my new tabs to open to my homepage?

    When I open a new tab, I want the tab to open straight to my set homepage. For example, my homepage is set to Yahoo.com, so when I open a new tab, how can I make it so that tab will open right to Yahoo.com?

    Not an efficient way of using Firefox, in my opinion. There used to be a configuration option to do that but that no longer works, but either of these two extensions will do that.

    [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221 NewTabURL] (47KB).
    What I think would be better is to only open your home page when Firefox first opens. To open a Yahoo page later, use a keyword shortcut -- see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]

  • I can not get a new tab to open. It opens a new tab when I go to Firefox Help but not when I want to open a bookmark of other web site.

    When I click on the tab bar I will not open a new tab.

    That can be a problem with the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I open a new tab it opens with a blank white page & (Untitled) in the tab. I tried NewTab King like some one recommended but all that did was open the NTK page, and not a repeat of my homepage.

  • How do I set new tabs to open up with my home page?

    When I open up a new tab the screen says "You have opened up a new Tab"....Informative but not particularly helpful... Can I set it so the new tab opens up on the google home page?

    Thanks the-edmeister. Your solution worked a treat. I had a problem with the AVG toolbar overwriting this but once I turned the AVG search bar off it was perfect. Great job. Thanks

  • How do I get a new tab to open up in a blank page instead of a pre-set one?

    When I open a new tab, I would like it to open up a blank page, not this site: http://start.facemoods.com/?a=ust&f=2

    Since you have an extension called "Facemoods", I would guess it has something to do with that extension. Go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions , locate "Facemoods" and click on it, click either Disable or Uninstall , restart Firefox by clicking Restart Firefox in the Extensions window. Test.

  • How to create a new tab inside a existing subtab on a page.

    Hi,
    How can I create a new tab inside a existing subtab on a page?
    If I change directly on the page.xml it will not maintain compatibility with upgrades. Am I right?
    Thanks,
    Marcelo

    Marcelo,
    Well basically you are adding a stackLayout bean and using that adding your region. Are you able to see the changes and run the page without any error?
    As you are manipulating the file manually, you can never be sure of whether its going to cause issues later on or not. And as mentioned earlier if OAF doesn't support creating the subtab using personalization, there are bound to be some limitations from the framework side. Also what personalization allows is to create items and not regions. So better stick to a rigorous testing to catch any issues early on.

  • We have just upgraded to Firefox 5 at work and I no longer have a new tab thingy on the end of my tab list. I now have to go to file and choose new tab. I would love my wee plus at the end of my tabs back. I use lots of tabs!

    I thought it might be due to having colourful tabs so have disabled that but it made no difference. I prefer having my tabs under the bookmark toolbar

    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 to the left of it.
