Get rid of noise opening a new tab
I have a 2 windows 7 pc. The one at work does not make a annoying sound when I open a tab but my new dell makes the noise. If it has to make a noise I will stop using firefox. Please let me know how to proceed.

What is on the new tab?

When you open a new tab it lists the previous websites down below that you could click on to go to right away.
When you click a new tab there is a settings key on the upper left that if you choose ENHANCED or CLASSIC I believe that is where you get the annoying noise. If you choose Blank then the noise does not sound.

I have tried everything suggested to get rid of the "Open a new tab" search page.
I just bought a new computer with Windows7. I downloaded and installed Firefox 18.0.1 about a week ago.
I am trying to get the history icon page to open when I click the "Open a new tab".
Some of the things I've tried (like resetting Firefox and installing the add-on) worked but only until I shut down.
When I load Firefox again, that pesky search page ("Open a new tab") is back.
How can I get the history icon page to stay permanently from day to day?Sunday 20 Jan 13
No addons, extensions or user.js file.
Problem persists. -
Cannot open a new tab have to get a link and open in new tab.
I cannot open a new tab either by clicking on the button on the tool bar, going to File/Open New Tab or CTRL T. I think this happened after I upgraded to the newest version of Firefox. The only way I can get a new tab is to click on a bookmark or link and right click and select Open in New Tab. Very frustrating.
HollyThis issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbFXTV5/3.11.3.15590

I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

How do I get Firefox to stop opening a new tab every time I hit "print preview" of an email?
The tab and various favorite sites open right on top of the print screen window, blocking the print screen window so that I have to x out the tab to print my email.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I updated Firefox, and after I restarted it, when I opened a new tab, I found that I now had two Google search bars: one next to where you type web addresses, and one right above my pinned sites (or my frequently visited sites). I'm just trying to:
1. Figure out why it is necessary to have two of the pretty much identically useful search bars when I really only need one (or can physically type Google in)
and
2. How do I get rid of the unnecessary second Google search bar above my frequently visited and therefore pinned sites.
If you have any ideas of how to remove this annoying addition, I would appreciate it.I am guessing that you installed an extension, related to "new tab", which added the first search bar. Firefox 31 in includes a search bar for the "new tab" page; so now you have two.
Take a look at that extension (Options or Preferences) to see how to disable ones of those 2 search bars. Or see if an update has been released for that extension, specifically for Firefox 31, with an option to disable the search bar. -
My default search engine is Google and I deleted Bing from the Search Providers. Facebook is set as my home page. Whenever I open a new tab, a Bing search box is displayed on the page and it takes the focus so when I am trying to type a URL in the new tab, it is entered in the damn bing search box. HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT ACCURSED BING
Swarnava, thank you very much! that did it and I am Bing-less . . . OH HAPPY DAY!! WOOHOO!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you!

Up until yesterday, I could open a new tab with a blank page. Now, every new tab opens to a bing search page and focus is in the search box. Very annoying when I begin to type a URL and have to click in the URL to continue typing. How do I get back to a blank page opening?
Thanks. You did have to go through another step-"Extensions", to find the Icon for the StartNow Toolbar with Bing involved.
Yep tried it and it got rid of Bing!! Happy Happy -

How can I get rid of Yahoo Search starting up everytime I click + to open a new tab
I recently downloaded a product (can't remember what it was) but
it included the Yahoo Search Toolbar. Now, although I have
disabled the ToolBar, everytime I click on + to open a new tab it
ALWAYS brings up Yahoo Search Box before I can type in the ULR I am wanting to open. It's driving me mad.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of Yahoo Search Box. It does
not appear in "Add or remove programs"

Clicking the Firefox icon to open it is fine but if I open a new tab (Control T) it seems Yahoo carries out the search. How can I get rid of Yahoo? It's not in Tools Add-ons or Extensions and Windows control panel doesn't show Yahoo either.
I must have downloaded something that smuggled Yahoo in, but what?http://medicine-opera.com/2010/03/how-to-disable-yahoos-theft-of-firefoxs-open-a-new-tab/

I went to the Control Panel to delete YAHOO, it is not there.
I put Google.com as my home page but when I click on the plus sign (+) to open a new tab, YAHOO search page comes in. Please assist me in getting ride of it. I read on the web to find solutions. No luck.
Thank you for respondingStart Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
