Cursor location in new tabs defaults to the omnibox/address bar

I have set new tabs to open google.com (using New Tab Homeage 0.4.3). However, in new tabs, the cursor position defaults to the omnibox/address bar. I want the default cursor location to be the google search field on the web page (if you must know why, it's because I love the lightning-fast search suggestions). I want to just hit CTRL+T and start typing my search. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated.

this bug refers https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1107844
For the moment don't use enter or tab to move to the next field.

Open in new tab when dragging url in address bar

Hi,
when using Firefox on a Windows system, i can get a url (not hyperlink) opened in a new tab by dragging it to the address bar while holding Alt key on the keyboard.
Now I'm using Firefox (last version) on a Linux system (Linux Mint 14, precisely) but I can't do the same; is there any solution to reproduct this behaviour?
Thanks in advance

Does it work if you press the Return key afterwards? That is what I have to do with a Mac, anyway.

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google proser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.

Is there a way? When I type something in the search engine feature, is there a way that when I press enter to search, it comes up in a new tab, rather on the page I am using?

When I type something in the search engine feature, is there a way that when I press enter to search, it comes up in a new tab, rather on the page I am using?

Yes, and I presume you mean both the search engine results, and the pages opened from the results.
Without making any changes you could always use '''Alt+Enter''' once you typed something into the search bar, or the location bar so that it would appear in a new tab. From the search results page you could always use "'''Ctrl+click'''" or "'''Ctrl+Shift+click'''" to open link n a new tab

How do I get rid of the "Ask a question" which now opens on every new tab rather than the previous mozilla history blocks?

When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

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.

In FF 7.0.1, the New Tab button on the Tab Strip disappeared after clicking the Tab Group icon and trying to return, so I'm looking for advice on how to get the New Tab to reappear on the Tab Strip.

In Windows Vista, FF 7.0.1, I selected the Tab Group button to try it out. However, when I selected the Tab Group button again to close that view, the New Tab button in the Tab Strip no longer appears. I'm requesting help to restore the New Tab button (has the "+" sign on it) on the Tab Strip just to the right of the currently open tabs.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
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 />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

The New Tab button on the right side of the last tab is missing.How do I get it back?

For now, you can try using Ctrl + t to open new tabs if you can't open them otherwise, but try right clicking the tabs bar, clicking "customize," and then in the window that comes up try clicking the "restore default set" button. I don't know if it will work in your case but it wouldn't hurt to try.

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)

When I right click and select open link in new tab, it leaves the page I am on and takes me to the first tab to the right

I usually have many tabs open when I read the news, and it is nice to select open links in new tabs while scrolling through a news' home page. Lately, however, Mozilla has been opening the new tab, but switches the page I am viewing to the first tab to the right of the home page. For example, I had ESPN.com open, and then a few Facebook tabs after that to the right. Whenever I would select open link in new tab, the tab I was viewing would switch from ESPN.com to the first Facebook tab to the right, and the new tab would open a little further down the line. Any chance anyone knows how to fix this?

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.

Do you have already visited more than one website in a tab if that happens?

How to make the new tabs to open the same URL as the startup page?

Hello!
I was wondering if it's possible to configure the Firefox in such a way that the new tabs open exactly the same URL that is typed in the Options. I tried to set browser.newtab.url to about:home but it gives me Firefox Google custom page instead of the startup page that I've set in the Options. Another way I tried is to set the browser.newtab.url value in about:config to the same URL as the startup page URL, but then if I change the URL in the options the new tab URL is not changed. So the question is whether it's possible to make the Firefox read the URL that is used for the startup page and go there when opening a new tab.

You can use a addon or about:config
<h2>Addon</h2>
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/‎
<h2>About:config</h2>
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Enter '''browser.newtab.url''', double click the result.
# A new window should now show, enter your homepage url in the box, then hit ok.
# Open a new tab, does it work.
If prefs arent saved you need to read the [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] article.

Used to have a little "OPEN NEW TAB" button to the right of the current tab. Since my upgrade to 6.0.1. this is gone. How can I get it back?

Thanks for the reply. My button was after the last tab until I upgraded. What I did was restore to default tool bar and the button was there. I then re customized my tool bar the way it was.
Thanks again for the help.

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
