How can I set that my "new tab" opens as Google instead of Yahoo as it is now?

I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

How can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?

Today I update firefox to 13.0. I like the new "new type". I want to konw how can I start firefox with new tab instead of blank page?
I don't want to change the homepage to about:newtab.
Sorry for my bad English.

This is a very annoying thing. Every update from Firefox resets this config setting back to about:newtab. I changed '''''browser.newtab.url''''' in 12.x to '''''about:blank''''' and it resetted back in update 13.0 and now I have to do the same thing again in 13.0.1.
The drawback with about:newtab is Firefox opens up dataports for every URL that are linked and gets reopened for every lame 'newtab' you click on. Just use [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx Tcpview - data port viewer] and watch how many extra dataports that opens up from this crazy 'feature'.

How can I automatically have a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

The add-on extension "NewTabURL" (by "sogame") provided the option I want and used for a number of years. But it stopped working when Firefox was updated to version 16.0. When I click for a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?
Can the extension "NewTabURL" be revised to work in version 16 and/or version 17? If not, how else can I get the new tab functionality that I desire? I can't seem to find any other extension that provides that functionality.

My trackball has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. Each of the 4 buttons is programmable. The 4 buttons are normally pre-programmed for single-click, double-click, drag and right-click by simply pressing on them
Each of the 4 buttons may be programmed to also have other functions. For example, I programmed "control/single-click" to produce a middle click. I could also have used "shift/single-click" or "alt/single-click" to produce the middle-click. Or I could have similarly programmed double-click or drag or right-click. The Kensington Expert Mouse is quite versatile ... once you get the hang of programming it.
I have had it for about 4 years and I had never had the need to program one of them until you told me about using a middle-click.

How can i find that which page is opened in other browser window

How can i find that which page is opened in other browser window
Can i restrict opening of a new instance of browser by end user.
Thanks in advance.

you can use Javascript functions/varibles.
In any page you can insert a special form like this:
<form name="myNameWindow">
<input type="hidden" name="myName" value="Ivan_pag01">
</form>
and in the other reading that value.
Obviusly you have to save a reference in a variable of the other window.
This is possible only if:
1) other page is in the same browser window but in an other frame
2) you have generated the other page via an "window.open" function (or your page is generated from it via that function)

How do I change where a new tab opens?

When I used to open a new tab, it would be a blank page. Now, a new tab opens to the AVG Secure Search page. How can I change it back or change it to, say, the Google search page? Thx.

To change the option in AVG, see second section, "AVG search on newly opened Firefox tabs", of the following page:
*http://forums.avg.com/ww-en/avg-forums?sec=thread&act=show&id=184012#post_184012
I am not an AVG user, therefore I do not know what options are offered in the above. '''''After setting the above''''' to "None" or similar option, if offered, you can install the following and set the options to load whatever page you want to open in a new tab (''Add-ons > Extensions > New TabURL > Options):
*'''''New TabURL''''' --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*New TabURL home page --> http://www.sogame.cat/newtaburl/

How do I set the page that a new tab opens to?

When I open a new tab, the tab opens automatically to Bing or some search engine other than what I have set as my home page which is set to Google. How do I get a new tab to open to my homepage and not something else?

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).

How can I put 2 different "New Tab" buttoms in Firefox 4?

In addition to the "+" that can open a new tab, I want the old New Tab option that I had in Firefox 3.6.15.
I want this:

and also this:

Both of them. Together.
But when I change the location of one of them... I can't add another one.
What can I do?
Thanks.

It's working, thank you!
Too bad that the icon is not similar to the default "New Tab" icon.
But never mind :)
Thanks again!

How can I turn off the new "tabs on top" layout of the new Firefox?

Dear Mozilla,
Te be honest I was very comfortable with the old Firefox layout and really don't like the new 'Tabs on Top' layout. It's one of the main reasons I hate Chrome.
Is there any way I can turn it off? I haven't been able to find it.
If not, can you direct me to a download page for the previous version of Firefox.
Thanks and bets regards,
Chris

I can't help but agree with you, Chris. Computer interfaces are usually analogues for the physical world and it seems that most of the just-newly-adult population has forgotten what GUI cues are meant to be - your mention of tabs' appearing on top is a case in point.
Has the just-newly-adult population forgotten manila folders? You know - those light-cardboard folders that you put pad paper and documents inside; ones that you slip into a filing cabinet, long-edge down, with TABS showing along the now top edge, so that you can read what they contain. Indeed, have you looked, people, Mozillians, at the symbol universally used for File/Windows Explorer? A manila folder!
The edges of manila folders are the tabs that ....wait for it, signify what they contain or represent. Simple. Similarly the just-newly-adult population may have forgotten tabbed diaries. 'Calendar books' with tabs down the opening side that let you select a page somewhere in the diary with information in it described by words or symbols on its tab. Simple!
Tabs should be attached, indeed, be part of, with NO separation from, the pages to which they belong, IMVHO.
Simplify the interface, Mozilla, designed according to good real-world principles.

Firefox always opens with two tabs, one the tab I want, plus an additional tab NEW TAB which I don't want. How can I stop the additional NEW TAB?

I open Firefox in new windows for sites I want to go to. I don't open in Tabs. Each time I open an new firefox window and when I restore the windows I had open, each site has an additional tab (2-tabs). The first tab is the site I want up the second tab is NEW TAB. I have to go through 10 to 14 Firefox windowe to close each 2nd and additional NEW TAB to individually close the NEW TABS. I had this before updating to the current Firefox and thought upgrading would solve this issue, but it didn't.

I started in safe Mode. I have the default theme. Starting in safe mode still gave me the same problem. I went back to the normal Firefox and still had the same problem. Yesterday I restarted my computer for 11 Windows updates. I am not going to spend all day starting and restarting my computer and removing my History and whatever else. Firefox should have a direct contact to it's users, to assist them instead of having their users work for them as forum responders and trouble shooters. This has already taken up way too much of my time.
I will say in normal Firefox the additional NEW TAB had no URL in it, but it did have the 12 icons on the page. In Safe Mode it had a URL that began with Chrome and it had a blank page, it didn't have the 12 icons as in normal mode. I don't have anything Chrome on my computer.

How to chose what webpage a new tab opens

Somehow, I managed to set 'searchgol' as my default home page.
I wanted Google back so I went to Options and set it as my start up page but whenever I open a new tab, I also get the searchgol page and not Google.
Is there an option where I can select what page my Tab displays?

You need to delete a possible user.js file and use the searchreset tool.

How do I change what a new tab opens up to?

When I open a new tab it opens to AVG search. I would like to change that. How do I do that?

"AVG Safe Search" often makes the "Enter" key not work, it may be opening their search in a new tab since they are the ones with the search by that name. Make sure that you do not have that extension see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions
Actually there is more than just the one extension that AVG might install, reinstall AVG Free without the Link Scanner component as mentioned in the above link and always refuse additional baggage offered during an install -- AVG Free does not ask in the free version it just includes it and there are no options once installed in the Free version for components..
Also make sure you don't have the "Ask Toolbar" or other toolbars you did not ask for. see the same link above for Toolbar problems.
It is definitely an extension that causing the behavior you see.
