Can I set FF to automatically open in Google when I open a new tab instead of having to also click on the Home button?

I often open a new tab and I'd like it to automatically open in Google.com rather than a blank page. Is there a way to make this happen? (I know I can click on the + to open a new tab and then click on the Home icon at the far right of the web address bar but I'd like to have Google open in one click instead of two).

You can middle-click the Home button to have your homepage open in a new tab. Or you can install this extension and set its' option for your homepage.<br />

  • I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

    I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

    Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
    First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
    Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
    One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

  • Can I set my iphone 6 up so that when I delete an email from my computer it will also delete from my phone?

    Can I set my iphone 6 up so that when I delete an email from my computer it will also delete from my phone?

    To do that you need to be using an IMAP type email account rather than a POP type. Check with your email provider to see if they provide this service and, if so, switch to it on all your devices.

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I updated my iPad to ios 7.1, and now I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. What happened? How can I fix this?

    I can't double click on the home button to switch between apps, or to close them. This happened after I updated to ios 7.1

    Swiping up from the bottom of the screen with four fingers did not bring up the app preview. A single press on the home button still brings me back to the home screen, but a double press of the home button does nothing following updating to 7.1   Given that, when I added a software home button as suggested by DIAVONEX, I found that all of the apps WERE still open! So thank you DIAVONEX, and you should be careful, bobseufert, as your information was inaccurate.( I did try turning it off and that didn't change anything. ) I don't really want a software home button on my screen, but I guess I will use it until either there is another update to resolve this glitch or someone else identifies a quirky setting that I inadvertently activated...

  • My screen continually freezes up.  I've tried closing all apps that are openfreezby double clicking on the home button and closing them. I have held down on the home button and start button simultaneously and it still freezes. Can someone out the help me?

    MY screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are open and have held down the home button and start button simultaneously but neither helped. Can someone out there help me?

    Well the next couple of things to try would be to reset all settings, and if that doesn't help, it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. That will take all settings on the iPad back to factory defaults. It will not delete anything and you will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all settings again ...WiFi passwords, enable Siri, select your wallpaper, adjust brightness, turn on location services and set privacy settings, etc, etc.
    You can read about restoring the software here.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
    Should you decide to restore the iOS, it is extremely important that you back up first so that you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes afterward in order to restore all content back to the iPad. It is all covered in the kb article.
    If you do not sync with iTunes, then I assume that you backup with iCloud. In that case you can erase the device in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Once again, backing up with I loud is I,operative before you do this so that you can restore from the iCloud backup after you erase the iPad and start over again with activation.
    You should read this first before you restore from either backup.

  • Open youtube video link from gmail in new tab instead of same page?

    Hi came back t fox after 3 years. Yesterday after 1,2 months of using a standard action was changed. I was in my gmail clicking on youtube notification to open video in next tab.
    While it was late FF asked me would I like to stay on page or leave it - I chose stay. Now when I want to open video links from gmail it opens in current tab - I failed with research on my own, hence asking community.
    btw browser.link.open_newwindow is set to 1.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi.
    For a laptop user it is essential to use only pad - for me late at night I would like to open youtube link in new window, one hand wihtout ctrl key, then double click to close tab not finding that tiny x.
    This reminds me that problem comes from TAB UTILITIES addon -although I think mentioned notification is built in from gmail or fox.
    Currently my about:config settings
    browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external
    browser.newtabpage.storageVersion
    are set to 1
    And it works as I wanted - so far.

  • Recently my iPad does not consistently respond to a single or double click on the home button and i've had no choice but to turn it off and back on to escape fron the app  i'm using. Can't say it is consistent with any one app. Suggestions are asked for

    My ipad recently seems to be freezing and not responding to home button single or double clicks?

    While this could potentially be a hardwar issue:
    Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
    If the reset doesn't work, you may need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings

  • How do i set the home button to refresh open tabs instead of opening new ones each time i click on it

    Everytime i click on the "home" button, FF 3.6 opens my three home pages as three new tabs. If i click twice, it opens three more. In IE, if i click the home button i have a choice to either refresh the three tabs starting with which ever one is open (for example, if my second tab page is where I am, that becomes home page #1 and so forth) OR i can select the specific home page i want to return to via a drop down.
    At a minimum, I'd like to set my home button to just open using currently open tabs and not appending. It must be possible b/c DH's FF browser does not do this. What am I missing?

    The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click.<br />
    Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets.<br />
    I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

  • I can't delete the icons of most recently opened apps. Won't wiggle when I tap and hold down the home button.

    Why can't I delete my most recently opened apps?  Before IOS7 I could get them to wiggle then close them.

    Double tap the home button and swipe upwards on the preview of the App (not the App Icon).

  • How do I get the home button in Firefox 18.0.1 to open the home pages in existing tabs instead of new tabs? I have tried some add on with no luck.

    I have tried the following Add on - Tab Utilities and Tab Mix Plus.
    Basically on start up of Mozilla, I have five tabs that load. After surfing/working a bit online, I would like to reload the five original tabs back to the original home page/load settings. If I click on the home button, five more tabs load, giving me ten tabs instead of the five original that I desire.
    Are there any other add on that would fix this. I tried the two above but either they do not offer it or I don't know what settings to choose.

  • I can't use the search feature, nor can I return "home" with the "home" button.

    6/8/11, I noticed that My Firefox home page remained blank with "untitled" in the tab. When I tried to do a search, the page remained blank and do info showed up, even though it said "done" in the lower left hand corner. I can open a website if I type it into the window, but I cannot return "home" when I click on the "home" button. It remains on the web page I am currently viewing.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.
