How can i get new tabs to open on my home page?

I would like to have new tabs automatically open to my home page like it does when Firefox starts up.

Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
''Accept the warning message.''
Type '''newtab.url''' in the Search field at the top.
Go down a bit to this pref - '''browser.newtab.url''' = right-click and select '''Modify''' - insert '''about:home''' - if you are using the default homepage, otherwise put the URL of your homepage in the dialog box

    How do I get tabs to open in my home page?

    You can install one of the many add-ons to accomplish this. There are many different ones available, so you can just go to the Firefox add-ons page and search for "Home Page".
    Also, ensure that you've setup Firefox with your Home Page URL. If you haven't done so, follow the steps below:
    * Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
    * Go to the General tab;
    * Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
    Note: Make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).

    You can go to Firefox and download one of many add-ons to do this. This issue has been addressed in another forum in Firefox Help. Follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/773676?s=new+tab+google&as=s
    Two add-ons mentioned by Tony E. are NewTabURL or New Tab Homepage.
    Also, whenever you open the new tab, you can just click on the home icon. That is what I do.

  • How do I get new tabs to open up to Google page instead of blank pages

    When I open up a new tab it goes to a blank window. I want it to open up directly to Google. I'm very new at computers and can't figure this out. Thanks for any help.

    This is a hidden setting. You get to take a peek into Firefox's world of "preferences."
    (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 '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    ''Note: I suggest copying the full URL you want from a different tab. If you use a shorthand URL like google.com, it will get redirected every single time, which is inefficient.''
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Works?

  • Nothing happens when I press File/New Tab. Under Tools/Options/Tabs I have checked 'open windows in a new tab instead' and 'always show tab bar.' Pressing File/New Window does open a new window. How can I get new tabs to open? That's how I like to work.

    I don't have anymore details to add!

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • How do i set new tabs to open as my home page

    Not a standard feature in Firefox, but a number of different add-ons have that feature.

  • How do I set my tabs to open with my home page?

    When I open a tab, how can I get it to open to my Home Page - the page I have set to open when opening Firefox?

    '''To cause new tabs to open at your home page in all windows''':
    '''I have added specific instructions to clarify exactly where entries should be made''' to the useful solution by Fred McD. (I'm using Firefox v. 29.0.1).
    The procedure is now very easy: just be careful with spelling of entries.
    Begin by opening a new window or tab. In the address (aka URL/location) bar, type '''''about:config'''''. If a warning screen comes up, click the '''''Be Careful''''' message.
    A new search bar appears below the address bar. Type '''''browser.newtab.url ''''' in it and press Enter.
    Below the new search bar is a new header: '''Preference Name''', followed by a long list list of all the possible preferences (settings) that can be changed (one of which is ''browser.newtab.url''). There is no explanation of the function of each; nor is there a corresponding list of possible values for each setting, so before you change one, record its value.
    Right click on '''Preference Name''' and from the resulting drop-down list click on '''''Modify'''''. A small window will open which contains a field containing the current value for browser.newtab.url. Note its value, then overwrite it with '''''about:home''''' to select the default Firefox home page for all new tabs. The new setting is immediately active: close the window.
    This method leaves the address bar of a new tab blank, unlike clicking the '''Home''' icon, so a different URL may be quickly entered if desired. (The new tabs have the unexpected generic title "Mozilla Firefox Start Page")
    Other possible settings are:
    about:newtab (shows the site most visited)
    about:blank (a blank page)
    any web page address (URL) you choose
    The same instructions apply to New Window settings, but beginning with the entry '''''browser.startup.homepage''''' .

  • I want a new tab to open as my home page not multiple pages

    I want any new tab to open with my home page google and not multiple pages which are of no interest to me. It seems if you switch the option off you only get a blank page. If you use the add on feature it does not now work. this 'upgrade' is a nuisance.

    '''Home page in New Tab'''<br />
    There have been several ways suggested to do that, but the easiest for many users has been this add-on --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab
    '''Additional question/comment'''<br />
    Paddy71 said: ''"If you use the add on feature it does not now work."''
    If you are referring to the search in the Add-ons Manager (''Firefox button > Add-ons'' or ''Tools > Add-ons'') that problem seems to have been corrected late yesterday afternoon. If you are referring to something else, you will need to give more details about what you are trying to do, the steps your are taking, what are the results of your action(s), and what you expect as a results.

  • How to I get new tabs to open to the correct home page?

    When I open new tabs they just go to a Google Search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar but as soon as it finishes loading Google it blanks out what I typed in and goes to the Google site. In other words, "blank" new tabs do not open to the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How do I change that? In other words, how do I get new tabs to stop opening to Google and start opening to either my home page or the Favorites screen? Thanks!

    You can modify the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set it to the desired page to open.

    See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • How do I get new tabs to open Home URL automatically instead of blank?

    When I open a new tab in Firefox 3.6.12, it always opens blank and I have to either type in a URL or use bookmarks to select the location.
    In Internet Explorer 8, I can have each new tab open my first home page URL automatically. Is there any way to do this with Firefox?
    I did look at the tab settings and there is no obvious setting.

    You can also middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
