Home Button opens new tab instead of opening page in current tab.

How do I get the home button in Firefox 4 to open the home page in the existing tab instead of a new tab?

I recently noticed that I started having this problem. I use an add-on called "Tab Utilities" which is updated to version 1.1.2 There are settings in the options which open new tabs in various ways, and a setting to open a new tab upon pressing home was selected. Deselecting that option fixed this problem for me.

  • Home button opens a new window instead of just returning active tab to home

    Running firefox 9.0.1 on Snow Leopard. After browsing for a short time clicking on the home button opens a new window instead of just returning theactive tab to home

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why does the "Home" button open another set of tabs ontop of my existing?

    when I use an existing tab to go to another web site and then want to return to my original tabs I hit the home button and instead of reloading all my home screen tabs it opens another set of tabs along with the ones that are currently up. IE ,I have -5- tabs that open on start up. If I hit the home key I will then have -10- whci are duplicates of the one that are up. In IE the home key just takes me back to the tabs that open on start up. Do I have something set wrong?? I am a new user of Firefox. Thanks!!

    When you hit the Home button the active tab is reloaded with the first of your homepages and the other 4 homepages will open in new tabs; IE does that differently. Sorry, there is no setting in Firefox to change that action. There might be an add-on available to change that action, but I can't point you to it as I am comfortable with the current way Firefox does that (but then again I only have 2 homepages).

  • When I click on the new tab button, a new tab does not open or when I go to file new tab a new tab will not open either.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

  • My iPad2 is four weeks old and the home button will not always close the applicaton that is currently running

    My iPad2 is four weeks old and the home button will not always close the application it is currently running and the problem is getting worse and I have tried to restore the iPad but this did not improve the problem...Is this a hardware problem that I need to seek a replacement

    Your home button and power button are completely unresponsive, even when you attempt a hard reset? If so you will have to put into recovery mode and restore through itunes or possibly DFU if that does not work

  • When I open a new tab, I have to move to the other side of the page to click "home". Can I set the same "home" default for new tabs?

    My home page opens in the initial FireFox window, but new tabs open with a blank page. To get to my default page I have to click "home", but now it's way over on the other side of the page.
    Can I set a default for new tabs?

    right click on the control bar and choose "adapt" (or something like that). A window will pop up. Ignore that window and move the home button to the place you want it ''on the control bar''

  • [Solved] Why is the home button opening tabs?

    I have disabled all add-ons and extensions in an attempt to fix this issue. Every time I click the home button a tab is opened, whether I am on a different page or not. Please inform me of a way to fix this issue.

    checked the home page option. there was a "|" next to my home page link with a "blank page" inserted after. Tab issue seems to be solved.

    Whenever I hit the home button it opens duplicate tabs in Firefox 3.6, i.e. Welcome to Firefox tab. This is annoying. is there any way to stop this or disable tabs all together. there are no plug-in that work for this version the i know of.

  • IPhone 5 - single click home button opens app switcher

    I have an unusual problem with iPhone 5 where if I am in an app (any app) and press the home button once to return to Home Screen, it is instead registering as a double click and opening the App Switcher. It does not happen all the time, maybe 60% but is somewhat annoying. I have restored the phone (set up as new phone) and still happening.
    Starting to think it maybe a hardware issue but want to see if anyone else has heard of this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    Hello chief1981,
    It sounds like you have restored your device as new, but your Home Button seems to be double clicking itself, when you only press it once. Based on you having already restored it as a new device, and it persisting, I would agree that it sounds like a hardware issue and would recommend that you seek service for it.

  • IMovie "Create iDVD Project" Button Opens Previous, not Current Movie/Proj

    I updated my non-Intel iMac to Leopard a year or so ago. Since then, my wife says when she works on a project in iMovie and is done she clicks on Create iDVD Project button and when iDVD opens it opens the last movie she was working on (over a year ago) before we upgraded to Leopard. iDVD does not open the movie that she is currently working on in iMovie. This worked before we switched to Leopard. I have 10.5, iDVD 5 & iMovie 5. Is this a compatibility issue with Leopard? She told me about this when we switched to Leopard but I ignored her. Now I have to find the answer.

    I have seen report that iMovie 5 won't even run under Leopard.
    What you might try is avoid clicking on the "Create iDVD project" button in iMovie. Instead you save the project and quit iMovie. Launch iDVD, create a new project and drag the iMovie project from the Finder into the iDVD window.

  • In the Customize Toolbar I was unable to find some useful buttons like New Tab or Reload Current Page. Will they be added?

    I have nothing to add

    You can't have an icon twice. The "reload current page" is on the right of the location toolbar and the "New tab" icon is on the right of the tab toolbar.
    You can move them to the "Customize toolbar" window or any other place in any toolbar.

  • With FF8, home button opens a new tab (on homepage) instead of moving the active tab on homepage.

    I'm using Vista, tried to uninstall and install FF8, had no effect.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Button bar buttons open pages in new tab!

    It was working yesterday (pages opened in current tab) but now it's broken. Help would be great! Thanks

    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari. Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
    Relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash, not move it back to the Preferences folder.
    Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
    ~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder
    For Lion:  To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
    And empty the Safari cache from the menu bar. That may help also.

  • When I open another tab and hit the home button on the tool bar the google page will not load completely. and when I type in a search it wont work. I have to use the yahoo adress bar at the top to search. How do I fix this

    I have tried closing it and reloading and it still wont work.

    I figured out how to correct it. Not sure what exactly was happening. But I started into private browsing and then turned it off. It's been working correctly ever since I did private browsing.
