How can I set app tabs to open to the default page on startup?

If I use an App Tab and click on a link from that tab, then exit and open Firefox, it opens up the website I was on when I closed Firefox the last time as the App Tab. For example, If I have Google as an app tab, make a search, click on a new website, and exit Firefox, the same website from before will load in my App tab instead of Google. When I open Firefox, I want my app tabs to open to their default pages, not the pages I was surfing from those tabs when I closed Firefox.

App Tabs are not protected against changing the URL by opening a link in that same tab and Firefox doesn't keep a record of the original URL.<br />
You can middle click a link to open the link in a new tab if you do not want the tab changing the URL.
You can lock the tab with the Tab Mix Plus extension.

  • 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''''' .

  • How can i get a tab to open showing my home page?

    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).

  • 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 can I set my tabs to open to Google by default?

    I would like Google to appear each time I open a new tab. I have already set Google as my home page, so it appears automatically when I open Firefox. How can I make the same thing happen for tabs?

    There is an add-on named [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/ New Tab Homepage] which sounds like just what you are looking for.

  • How can I save multiple tabs to open at the same time?

    Hi,
    I have a set of websites that I need to access regularly and I'd like to be able to open all the tabs in a window at the same time rather than clicking on each one individually.  I know this was possible in previous safari versions but I can't figure out how to do it in Yosemite (v8).
    Can someone walk me through how to do this please?  I've googled this but haven't been able to find an answer for this latest version of safari.
    Thanks!

  • How do I get App Tabs to open on the bookmarked location rather than the last visited one?

    For example, I have YouTube as an App Tab. Every time I open firefox the last think I was watching on YouTube starts playing again. I would really like to set it so the App Tabs open on whatever page I originally set them for.

    Just make sure that you open any new links in a new tab and not in the App tab.<br />
    There are tab related extensions that can protect or lock tabs to prevent them from getting changed, but opening a link in a new tab with a middle-click or Ctrl + left-click isn't that much extra effort.

  • When I open new tabs, how do I set my tabs to open to the same web page every time?

    I have my home page set, but I don't see an option to set what site my tabs open with. I did have a website opening in my tabs, but it wasn't a change I made. According to one of the help articles, an extension may have changed what site kept appearing in new tabs. Now, my tabs are back to the eight tiles, but I'd like to set them to a specific website. How do I make this change to my tabs?

    You will have to open the <b>about:config</b> page and set the new tab page by changing the value of the browser.newtab.url pref via the right-click context menu as stated in the KB article.
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • My new tabs setting has chnanged to msn when I downloaded msn games, how can I reset new tabs to open my firefox home page please?

    Hi since I downloaded msn games my new tab window defaults to msn but I want it ot be Firefox. I can't seem to find how to reset it, can you advise please. Thanks

    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.
