FF4 tabs missing page title, always says 'New Tab'

in FF4 the tbas for different pages do not show the page title, all the tabs say 'New Tab' except for when ff loads and shows the about:home page. for the about:home page it keeps saying 'Connecting' even though that page is completely loaded.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

When I load a page, the title on the tab never appears, it always says "New Tab" or "Connecting..." and ultimately never displays the actual title. [SOLVED]

When I load a page, the title on the tab never appears, it always says "New Tab" or "Connecting..." and ultimately never displays the actual title. It's really no more complicated than that, but it's pretty annoying, it happened when I updated to Firefox 4, and it happens both at work and at home.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

Whenever I try to open a new tab, the tab just goes blank and says "New tab". I can't open any websites. What do I do?

It started very suddenly. The tab just went blank when I tried to open a new one, and then just continued every time I open a new tab. It loads the selected website for a milisecond, and then just goes blank and says "New tab". In my own language of course. I tried reinstalling, rebooting and nothing seems to do it. I have Tab Mix Plus as a tab manager.
What can I do? Please help.

That did the trick. But I had to start Firefox in safe mode, because it just went to the blank page where the Troubleshooting page should have been, of course. Thanks for the help anyway. Now I just need to get my old addons back.

Every time I open firefox I get a page that is says new tab, on bottom left is funm,picture of an owl, ds,How do i make it go away

the tab allows you to put up urls ie favorites.
How do i get rid of it, I do not want to use it

Are you talking about the New Tab Page? Click the 3×3 grid icon in the top right corner to hide the tiles. See the "How do I turn the new tab page off?" section of the following article for a screenshot.
* [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]

Somtimes Firefox loads a blank page; the Tab says "New Tab" and the URL is always "about:blank". What's up with that?

Using Dogpile, I search and a list of URLs comes up. I select and click on one and Firefox opens a new tab. It responds promptly with a blank screen. The Tab says "New Tab" and the URL says "about:blank". The last one came up slowly in IE and turned out to be nothing more than a large pdf. Can you help me figure out what is happening and how to fix it, please? It is happening far too often. Running the virus, etc. software has not stopped this problem. Thank you very much for your help! Hutchy

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, how do I retrieve these tabs?

Firefox recently did an automatic update for firefox to version 29 upon restart and all the tabs I had before won't load as before. It appears that the number of tabs open up saying "new tab" on each one but they won't load once I click on them as before the update. I'm trying to find a way for those links to show again. I used herokuapp.com as mentioned in another article but all the blank tabs are shown as about:blank.

Sorry to hear about that. Can you check your profile folder for a special .bak file created during the upgrade? Here's what I mean:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* Help menu > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button
This should display your profile folder. Scroll down and look for a file with a name similar to the following (the date part will be different):
sessionstore.bak-20140506152807
Make a copy of that file to a more convenient location, such as documents, and try to use one of the file recovery methods to find your missing URLs in there. You might need to change the file ending to .bak or .js if it's hard to load with the date included.
For data mining the URLs, I think you already know the options, but for anyone else reading, see: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/998414#answer-567734].

Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

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
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

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.

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.

Home page to show in new tab...

When I click on a new tab it is labeled untitled. How do I get my home page automatically come up when I open a new tab. In the option field under tools, I have the setting set to open my home page when I open firefox, but i doesn't work when opening tabs. When I open a new tab I then I have to click on my homepage Icon to get home page to do a new ssearch.

''How do I get my home page automatically come up when I open a new tab. :''
You can modify Firefox with and extension, I personally would not want that at all, before dismissing a tab I make sure there is nothing in the tab in a backward direction, and would consider looking a anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for. See the following:
*NewTabURL :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page?

When on safari if i click anywhere on the page another page opens in a new tab with an ad

The other day i download something on Facebook. Since then my safari has not been the same. My homepage changed from safari to something like quick search and whenever i am on a page no matter what or where i click another page opens in a new tab with an advert or survey and i have to click ok to get rid of the message then cancel the page.
Before this happened, my internet was just set as a standard apple laptop is from new, and when on safari if i clicked the little + in tabs part a new page would come up and give me the choice to pick from some of my favourite sites etc

This can happen if adware Genieo is installed without your knowledge. Removing it will help,

    Install , open, and run it by clicking “Scan for Adware” button   to remove adware.
    Once done, quit AdwareMedic.
               or
    Remove the adware manually by following the “HowTo” from Apple.
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987
2. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Turn those off and relaunch Safari to test .
     Turn those on one by one and test.

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
how can I do this?

I'm not sure what causes this.
As the first step, I recommend backing up your existing sessionstore files.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Scroll down to the files whose names start with sessionstore. You should find at least sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If the .js extension does not appear on sessionstore, you should turn off the Windows feature that hides file extensions from you, so that you can work with file names as accurately as possible. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
Make backup copies of all the sessionstore files to somewhere like your Documents folder for possible later restoration.
Next, try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:
