How can I re-set new tab homepages? A website has made itself appear every time I open a new tab.

My new tabs keep startying up with imesh, a website I don't want and haven't made a homepage. Firefox options don't show this is in your tab start-up system. How can I get rid of it?

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click Check for Updates -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Incompatible/Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Incompatible/Unwanted/Suspicious Themes (Persona) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

How to stop an "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Does anyone know how to stop a Firefox "Add-ons Manager" tab that keeps appearing every time I open a new web page ?

Solved it shortly afterwards thanks as I realised it must have happened when I refreshed Firefox, so went through the process again and found the boxes for tabs already pre-ticked so cancelled them. Would have been a lot easier though had it been left as an option to tick as I assumed it was another safeguard leaving me with no idea what had happened....
Anyway thanks :-)

An unwanted bookmark window appears every time I open a new page

When I open a new page I very frequently get a window full of bookmark folders on the left of the screen. It takes up space and I have to close it over and over and over. I can't find a preference that will make it go away forever.

I upgraded to Firefox/3.6.3 on April 7, 2010. I am running OSX 5.8 on a G5 PowerPac Mac. This problem happens when I click on a link that opens a new window on my Mac. The new window then automatically opens with the history left bar open. It is not occurring when I simply open a new window myself.

How can I get rid of the Introduction splash page that keeps popping up every time I open Firefox 4?

Wen I attempt to open Firefox 4, I keep getting a splash page before I can go elsewhere. It is particularly annoying when trying to access Links on my desktop, because the splash page prevents thelink from opening.

How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?

However, when I go to the Purchased tab I see there Update buttons next to programs that have updates ready to download.
How can I re-set the App Store so the Updates will again appear under the Updates tab?

Wanna know this too

I want my home page to open every time I open a new tab. Where is the setting for that?

When I open a new tab it is always blank. I want it to automatically open to my home page every time I open a new tab.
I thought I found a setting for this, but I can not find it now.

There is no setting for this, but 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.

Every time I open a new tab, it no longer goes to the standard "you've opened a new tab" page, but to a searchwebsite of Babylon. How do I fix this?

Every time I open a new tab, it no longer shows the standard Firefox "new tab" page, but a search-website by Babylon. I don't know how to fix this.

To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
It's possible that ''Babylon ''will add itself to more than one place in '''about:config'''. Therefore, after completing the above steps, open about:config again, type "''babylon''" in the filter at the top and for every instance where you see a setting with that name in it, right click it and choose ''''''Modify ''''''and then ''''''Reset''''''. Then close Firefox and restart it. See example screenshot.
Babylon search and toolbar will be installed with an IM chat client called ''Digsby'' if you don't opt out of it during the installation. See the info at the foot of this page: http://techshali.com/digsby-instant-messenger-and-email-manager-social-networks/

Since upgrading to FF v4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FF windows open, how can I keep this from happening?

Since I started using FireFox version 4, every time I open a "new window", all other instances of FireFox windows open up. This is annoying as it often covers up instances I am currently using with instances that I don't wish to use right now. I can't seem to find a way to keep this behavior from occurring.

Try go to '''about:config''' search for '''browser.startup.homepage''' change its value to:
'''about:home''' - default page<br>
'''about:blank''' - blank page<br>
'''url''' - a page that you want

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

Start 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).

How can I save my customised toolbar so it is there every time I open a new browser window

I have created a customised toolbar with all the icons I want but have to do it again every time I open a new browser window.

i found i had almost exactly the same problem as you. one evening my itunes just wouldn't start up, it told me that 'itunes is unable to open because some of it's required files are missing, please re-install itunes'. now, i personally know a lot on the subject of computers and how they opperate, i had the built the computer that i encoutered the problem on myself. as soon as i came across the problem, i immediatly thought that i would be able to simply uninstall itunes and quicktime, and then re-install.
after doing this, nothing changed, i went straight to 'add or remove programs' in windows, and tried to remove itunes from there. it wouldn't uninstall. i racked my brains over the problem, until i found this article, which provided a great deal of help. for anyone who later has this problem, go and download this freeware from microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 this program will immediatly remove any unwanted programs with ease, whether they are running or not. after using this program to uninstall itunes, re-install, and your problem should be solved.
thanks. Alex Dove
