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.

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/

I have three pages of my own on tabs

The built-in Firefox search bar works just as a well as the search in the default home page.

DON;T WANT TO GO TO HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN NEW TAB

HOW DO I STOP GOING TO HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN A NEW TAB? I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN A NEW TAB, I WANT TO SEE A BLANK PAGE, THEN I CAN PUT IN THE URL OF MY CHOICE. I ONLY WANT TO SEE HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN FIREFOX, OR WHEN I SELECT IT USING THE HOME PAGE BUTTON.

How do I get Firefox's home page to open a new tab when searching?

I'm slightly modifying Firefox's about:home page, and I'm trying to get the home page to effectively be its own app tab. In order to do that, I need to make it so that when I search with it, it opens a new tab to view my search results.
I've tried two things so far; I've tried adding the attribute '''target="_blank"''' to the '''<form>''' tag, and I've tried adding the attribute '''onclick="this.form.target='_blank';return true;"''' to the '''<input>''' tag nested inside of the '''<form>''' tag (I'm guessing the latter is JavaScript lol). I also tried an extension "TabSubmit" which didn't work here.
I know how to edit the right page (I'm changing the contents of aboutHome.xhtml in omni.ja), and have already edited the stylesheet slightly (to underline links when hovering over them and adjusting the fading of Mozilla's logo when hovering over it). This is the next change I wanted to make.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

The about:home uses window.location.href = url; to change the location of the current tab.
Changing this to window.open(url); and adding a line at the end of the aboutHome.js file to initialize localStorage works for me with a locally saved about:home page.
<pre><nowiki>function onSearchSubmit(aEvent)
let searchTerms = document.getElementById("searchText").value;
if (gSearchEngine && searchTerms.length > 0) {
const SEARCH_TOKENS = {
"_searchTerms_": encodeURIComponent(searchTerms)
let url = gSearchEngine.searchUrl;
for (let key in SEARCH_TOKENS) {
url = url.replace(key, SEARCH_TOKENS[key]);
window.open(url);
aEvent.preventDefault();
localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";</nowiki></pre>

Pages not showing in new tabs

Virtually every time I open a new tab whether through a link, the search bar or opening a tab and typing in an address in the address bar the new tab will continue to display the page content of the first opened tab. The information is loading as it will only display after dragging the tab outside of firefox creating a new window. This behavior is remedied (for only a short time) by closing a reopening firefox. Inevitably, the problem reoccurs.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).
*Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
Thanks again for the response.
When I

I have my home page set. What I need to find out how to set it so that every tab I open, it opens to my home page instead of a blank tab/page.

I use Firefox at work. We have a standard home page we use. In IE all my new pages open at our home page. With Firefox I have my home page set, but all new windows I open, open as a blank tab/blank page. I want to have all my new windows/tabs to open to my home page.

You can always just middle-click or ctrl+click on the home button to open it in a new tab.
For exactly what you're asking for, there's an addon for that:

By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

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.

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 I set up multiple home pages, I get two NEW pages when I click "home"

Firefox 19.0.2 on XP
I have always had firefox set up to open two page, so my home page setting reads
https://www.google.com|https://www.google.com
When I open Firefox, I get two tabs, both on Google. If I opened a 3rd tab I got a blank page. Just what I wanted.
Now, suddenly - when I open Firefox, I get my two home pages, but if I'm in Page 0 and click HOME, I get TWO MORE tabs open to my home page (for a total of 4 pages).
I read online to replace the pipe with %7C but that causes a -27 Service error.
Something changed inside FF in the latest updates ... how do I get the expected behavior back?

I have had the same original problem here as dbdataplus12 for a while now concerning having multiple tabs set as home page.
For my use, I have 4 tabs set up as home pages - each tab being set to a different web address, as I always use all 4 websites whenever I start any browsing sessions.
I had given up hope of trying to find an answer to resolve it or at least find out why it happens.
If it's just because it's the way FF works then so be it, and I'm stuck with FF doing something that, as far as I'm concerned, it shouldn't really be doing that way - but I'll have to put up with it anyway ;)
But having come across these replies to dbdataplus12 query it's prompted me to have to post here.
I can see why dbdataplus12 basically gave up on trying to get a clear answer to his query. "That said, I'm bored with this entire conversation - and now I will do what true Americans now do in cases like this - I will lower my expectations. "
So maybe I can explain better what I see as my problem with multiple home pages, what is happening within FF and why I think that it shouldn't be doing things that way, and what I think FF should be doing instead.
If it turns out that I'm just expecting too much from FF or the people who program FF, or maybe my expectations are too high to have something so obvious be able to be done - that just doesn't happen in FF, or maybe just plain wrong of me to expect certain things from a tool such as FF - then so be it ;)
As dbdataplus12 said " ... if I set up my home page option with TWO home pages (google | yahoo) then when I open FF I get two tabs with their respective pages loaded."
When I startup FF I get my 4 tabs opened to their respective web addresses. So far so good :)
I then use those 4 tabs during my session, and again so far so good ;)
The problem then happens when I wish to go to my home pages again.
On clicking the Home button, a new set of 4 tabs open up, each going to their respective web address as they are supposed to.
Why aren't the original, existing tabs used to go to the home pages?
I would have thought that it was obvious that when I click on the Home page button that the 4 tabs that are open go to the home pages.
If I had closed one or more tabs then I would expect FF to open new tabs as required, and use those tabs to go to the relevant home pages.
If I had opened new tabs myself during my session to visit other web addresses, I would expect that the first tabs be used to go to the Home pages - any other tabs that may be open would stay on their relevant pages.
That's what I would expect to happen.
Not for FF to just open up 4 new tabs.
As I say, to me, it's just plain obvious.
The first tabs onscreen should be used to open up any Home pages set up, so that whenever the Home page button is pressed those tabs are used.
And for FF to open up additional tabs, if tabs had been closed and are needed to enable all the home pages to be shown.
As I say, to me, it's just plain obvious.
So, if it's just that FF doesn't work that way - then so be it. I'll accept that as the answer and have to put up with new tabs opening every time I press Home ;)
But maybe someone, somewhere, could think about altering FF so that it uses existing tabs etc instead of just opening new ones. Maybe you could have a setting in the preferences to switch the option on or off to reuse tabs whenever the Home button is pressed.
Just a really, obvious idea ;)
Thanks for reading - and hopefully replying.
And hopefully taking the idea onboard ;)

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
