Hi tkpeters,
Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/removing-babylon-searchqu-or-mystart this]. Mystart & incredibar could also come bundled with another add-on, or another entirely different Windows application and the exact names may not be always obvious in Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', or the Windows OS '''Control Panel''' > '''Programs and features'''.

  • When i press the new tab button I land on yahoo. I hate yahoo, how do I change the landing page for the new tab button?

    When I pressed the new tab button, I use to land on google. I downloaded something that changed my new tab landing page. I now land on Yahoo. I hate yahoo!. How do I reset my landing page so I land on google when opening a new tab in Firefox.?

    ''New Tab button brings up Yahoo, want a different page''
    First I would identify everything in about:config that refers to Yahoo.
    Then I would remove everything about the Yahoo toolbar that is left that you don't want.

  • When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • When I click on the "New Tab" button, or try to open a new tab through the "File Pull Down" Menu, a new tab does not open. How do I fix this?

    I cannot open new tabs. The new tab button, new tab option on the file menu and the new tab option when I right click on the tab all do not work. This started when I updated Firefox Yesterday. It is becoming annoying when trying to work with multiple tabs open. How can I fix this?

    plz say the way to set the speed dials which i set in home page whenever i open the new tab instead of blank page

    Make sure the new tab feature is enabled:
    * On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
    * Set '''browser.newtabpage.enabled''' to '''true'''
    To set the homepage to show the new tab page:
    * Go to Firefox Menu > Preferences > General
    * Set '''When Firefox starts''' to '''Show my Home page'''
    * Set '''Home Page''' to '''about:newtab'''
    So that a new tab opens the new tab page

  • Am unable to click and open new tabs using the new tab button after downloading the newest version of firefox?

    have recently downloaded the newest version of firefox. after installing i am happy to say i am pleased with the new look and features etc though for some reason i am unable to open new tabs as before.
    i now have to right click on bookmarks or favorites and select open in a new tab to do so, rather than simply clicking on the new tab button..

    If the problem turns out to be the "New Tabs at the End" extension, there actually is an internal setting for this that you could use instead.
    (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 '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false. That's it.

  • Everytime I open a new tab it comes up with Yahoo, how do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

    How do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

    I had the same problem, in fact, I'm one of the people who clicked, "I have this problem, too!"
    I used to have blank tabs when I would open them, but I downloaded some shady software that I didn't know had add-ons! I tried the "about:config" method and messed around with some of those things but nothing happened. After deleting and reinstalling firefox it still happened, and after doing a computer wide search of 'Ya' or 'yahoo' it came up empty. That told me it's combined with some other program or it's under a different name completely. When I would open a new tab, the url would come up something like:
    www.click.1.3.yahoo.com/tab_search_000,00.03 blah blah blah. toward the end of the string though, the word "Freeze" appeared. So I went back to my control panel and looked for the word freeze in anything, even as the host site. I FOUND IT! It was some net assistant bug that downloaded off of some other software I had running. Hope this helps some of you!
    -Kayl
    PS. even if your word isnt freeze, it may be something else worth searching in your control panel :)

  • How do I edit the default page for when I open a new tab?

    I'd like to know how to set which page appears when I open a new tab. I've already set my home page to what I'd like, but I'm having trouble setting which page appears once I open new tabs while I'm already online.

    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.

  • Since latest update, every time I start up Firefox the "New Tab" button is gone and I need to re-add it from the "customise toolbar" menu.

    I don't know if my settings are not being remembered or what, but the New Tab button is missing each time I open up Firefox.

    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • I have installed Firefox 4 but the "New Tab" button has disappeared. I have searched toolbars etc. but can't see it. Any ideas, please?

    My "New Tab" button has disappeared off the toolbar. I have searched the toolbar menus and "Customise Toolbar" but it's just not there. Back, Forward, Stop and Reload buttons are all there.

    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 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 want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />
    *If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"<br />
    *If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar<br />
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • Why does Firefox sometimes put the New Tab "+" button to the left of my open tabs instead of to the right?

    ''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932160''
    [Re-posted with additional details when I thought this post had failed. Please respond to the other post and ignore this one. My apologies for the duplication.]
    In some windows, seems more likely after a crash recovery (but not sure there's a connection), Firefox puts the New Tab "+" button to the left of my tabs instead of the right. This is annoying, because once you're used to clicking it to the right of your open tabs, it's confusing to sometimes find it to the left.
    If I go into Customize mode, it still shows the "+" tab on the right, but as soon as I close Customize, it's really still there on the left edge of the screen.
    Why does this happen and can I stop it? I have seen no reports of this problem posted by others, but it's been happening for me since at least Version 12 and not fixed by version 13.0.1.

    This may be related to session restore.

  • I have a problem when I open the new tab?

    I have a problem when I open the new tab. Normaly, I open the new tab as click mouse in button near to last page. " new tab" appear with untitled page. But now , It always appear with web sites wich I don't like. So, How can i repare this problem ?

    This feature is likely to have been added by an extension. Check the settings for your extensions to see if they show this feature.
    Another method of identifying the extension that is causing this is to disable extensions, for details on this process see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • I cannot open a new tab any way..by clicking the new tab button on tab-bar, or ctrl/T, or File/New Tab, or clicking on link on current page.

    On Windows7 Premium Home Edition, I cannot get a new tab to open no matter what I try. On occasion, if I click on a link on the current page, a second tab will open, but 99% of the time I am stuck using the first tab for everything and using the back button. I have tried ctrl/T, File/New Tab, right mouse click/New Tab, and the new tab button on the tab bar to the right of the current tab.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

  • When I attempt to open a new tab by clicking the "new tab" button on the tabs bar, the tab will not open. Can this be fixed and how?

    When I open my Firefox browser, the normal 1 tab comes up. But when I attempt to open new tabs with the "new tabs" button, a new tab will not open. I have also tried right-clicking on the tabs toolbar but tabs will not open. The only way I can get a new tab to open is by right-clicking on a link and selecting the "open new tab" option in the right-click menu.

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13 version. Disable that extension or un-install it.
