  • How do you create/add websites to the 'new tab' page?

    I followed the help link you guys have already created. It instructs to go the 'show all bookmarks' window and drag an already created bookmark to a vacant spot on the 'new tab' page. This doesn't work for my PC as after i drag the desired bookmark, it just opens that page on the new tab page. Please help out with how to add new tiles to the blank new tab page.

    Hi there,
    You want to save websites in the Firefox tab page tiles,this is how I do it.
    You have to have the bookmarks bar enabled if it's not showing in your
    Firefox.Right click on an empty space to the top of Firefox & click
    Bookmarks Toolbar,It should show under the address bar & search bar
    like mine.
    Go to what sites you want saved in the Firefox tab page,drag & drop the
    site in the Bookmarks bar.Open the Firefox tab page,now drag & drop what you saved in the Bookmarks bar onto one of the tiles,It should work.
    You can delete any sites saved in the Bookmarks bar,right click on it & click delete.
    Sites saved in the tab page may need to be pinned if you clear cache,history & cookies.

  • How to disable history from new tab page without disabling the new tab page entirely?

    As the title states. I have read countless questions on this and none ever give a working answer. So I will try again. I think it is absolutely ridiculous that even though I delete my browsing history after every time, my browsing history still shows up on the new tab page. Which proves that Firefox is actually NOT deleting my browsing history like it says. So how do I STOP that from happening? I don't want my browsing history to show up anywhere. At all. Ever. For any reason. Is that impossible with Firefox? That would put it in first place for world's worst browser if your browsing history is permanent like mine is right now. Huge security hole much?? So how do I make it stop once and for all. But I still want the new tab page there, but ONLY with the sites I have pinned to it. Nothing else. EVER.

    First off, let's start by updating you to the latest Firefox, 32.0.3. ([[Update Firefox to the latest version]]). Firefox 20, which you are running, is suspect to MANY security issues (including one fixed just yesterday that affects the entire internet and allows websites to pretend to be any website they want to be), plus it has it's own bugs and issues in Firefox itself.
    After you've updated, let's see if we can't get this sorted out. Are you saying that when you clear your history the new tab page doesn't clear? Are you using the default new tab page or do you have any new tab page add-ons installed?

  • Add fields into a new tab page

    Hi!
       I am in cProject 4.0 and there is a functionality to add new tab pages with fields in cProject components. The IMG activity is Collaboration Projects -> Global Enhancements to Project Elements -> Show Additional Tab Page in cProjects.
       The help for this activity specified that I only need customized it to works as well. It does not specified if I have to develop some extra BSP or webdynpro to work. I tried to put a new field in a new tab page in Project Definition, but only the new tab was showed. The new tab is empty.
       I know that in cProject 3.0 it was necessary a BSP development. Is it necessary develop a BSP in 4.0 too?
    Regards,
    Rafael Soares

    Hi Vivek, how are you ?
    I hope that you can clarify my doubts !
    I created my own Web Dynpro Aplication and assigned it in the customizing from cProjects.
    My aplication use fields the others tables (Z) and fields from table DPR_PROJECT (enhance CI_DPR_PROJECT). So, the logic to read and write my Z tables is working, but my problem is How Can I update the fields from CI_DPR_PROJECT structure ?
    I imagine that I need to read the container from UI standard, but until the moment I can't resgate these values. In customizing is that if I use the fields from CI_DPR_PROJECT the update will be automatically.
    Thank you very much,
    Milena

  • How to remove the search bar from new tab page?

    I've added extra pinned site rows and columns on the new tab page.
    The new search bar is redundant and space hogging.
    Please provide how to disable in step by step instructions :)
    Edit:
    Answer
    1. Go to Firefox Profile Folder (go to about:support in Firefox then click Open folder/Show in Finder to get there)
    2. Open or create the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    3. Create a blank text file, copy and paste this code into the text file.
    @-moz-document url(about:newtab)
    #newtab-search-container, #newtab-search-logo { display:none !important; }
    #newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display:none!important; }
    4. Save it as userContent.css (using ALL FILES under the drop down menu)
    5. Place the new css file into the chrome folder.

    Fox_1923: You're not supposed to create a new chrome file but a <b>userContent.css</b> file in the <b>chrome</b> folder.
    You can use mine and <b>cor-el's</b> code together in the userContent.css file to get rid of the large margin in the top along with the search box. I've used it just fine in the latest Nightly and so have others who dislike the search box.
    One thing you could be doing wrong is not setting the file type to all Files and Notepad or whatever else you are using is adding an unneeded extension (for Windows, .txt = userContent.css.txt doesn't work!)
    See this for clarification:

  • How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

    I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
    (I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
    So, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
    I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic
    *https://forums.comodo.com <br /> & https://forums.comodo.com/index.php?action=search2
    You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
    * See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
    * Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26

  • How do I get back the "old" new tab page with 9 tiles instead of 8?

    I find the 8/12 tiles (If pressed Ctrl+scrollwheel down) annoying, is there any way the get the classic "new tab" page with 9 tiles back?
    Ps I already tried changing the number of colums (5 to 3) about:config / browser.newtabpage.colums I got 9 tiles but it looks awful

    Thanks for that.
    But how do I get it back as it was..... before they messed it up?
    I don't want smaller text.
    And, as I said in my first post, NewTabTools deletes the Google Search Frame. (which i want)
    I just want my 9 tiles (at least) with the Google search form...'''.as it was'''.

  • When accessing favorites imported from IE8, duplicate links appear for those bookmarks on Google new tab page, while things I have bookmarked in Firefox appear normally, as a single link.

    For several months now, I have had this issue. I'm not sure if this is an issue with Google Toolbar or Firefox, but I have uninstalled and re-installed the toolbar several times, and the same thing keeps happening when I access anything Imported from IE8. Anything I originally bookmark in Firefox appears as a single link on the Google new tab page, while my favorites from IE8 appears twice. Everything appears as normal in the Firefox Bookmarks menu. This doesn't seem to affect functionality in any way, but it is rather irritating at times. Is it possible it could be a bug in IE8? I'm curious to see if anyone knows of a solution to this issue. Any help or input is greatly appreciated. Has anyone else had this happen? I have the latest versions of Google Toolbar and Firefox, so far as I'm aware. Thanks, once again, for your time and input.

    Thanks to jscher! With some help from AVG my AVG & Google browser panels now work OK. But I've taken the advice & disabled several extensions including the Disconnect. The browsers are still OK after re-launching them so I keep fingers crossed.
    My original problem was that I had suddenly found a small popup window appearing, over the browser window, that I couldn't get rid of. It contained an advisory to the effect that Windows couldn't find the file popuptransparent[dot]xul. I tried searching for that to see what it was and in the course of doing that I seem to have executed it. Then was when the trouble started.
    I have 3 instances of that file in my computer and would dearly like to get rid of them if they are of no use to me. Any advice there?

  • How do I add a site to my home page?

    How do I add a link to a special site on my home page?

    I don't know what the "about:newtab" is?

  • How do I hook in to the "New Tab" page UI for the add-on I am writing?

    I am writing an add-on called Undo Close, for Firefox Mobile. It allows the user to reopen recently closed tabs.
    Currently, I provide an "Undo Close" button in the main menu (using the NativeWindow API). However, the ideal location for this button is in the BrowserTab UI. As far as I know, there is no JS-API for the native widgets located therein. How can I add my button to the UI, possibly using ctypes?
    If interested, I can supply a link to my add-on in AMO.

    You would be best to ask the Firefox for Android developers at https://chat.mibbit.com/?server=irc.mozilla.org&channel=%23mobile they can be best reached from 8 AM pacific to 6 PM pacific during the work week.
    As I understand your question you would need https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799631 to be fixed.

  • Forgotten how to save favourite sites on new tabs - help!

    I've just upgraded my PC, and have forgotten how I saved my favourite sites onto new tabs (I'm not talking about the ability to 'pin' a frequently used website). I had 3 rows of 4, or 4 rows of 5, fixed squares which appeared whenever I clicked on the + for a new tab. I could save to this by left-clicking on a favourite site, then choosing the 'add to hot sites' (or something similar) option. I'd like to get this back - if possible. The old PC ran Windows XP, the new one is running Windows7, I don't know if that will make a difference.

    Have a look at
    * [[Use Tab Groups to organize a lot of tabs]]
    I think that is what you are looking for. There is also an option to list tabs/bookmarks in folders and to use a bookmarks sidebar or the bookmarks toolbar.

  • How do you add websites to "Most Visited" tab?

    I am accustomed to using IE and Favorites for quick access. Most Visited is similar to what I want to do. How can I add websites to "Most Visited" tab?

    "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" are examples of the so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.<br />
    Such smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores the bookmarks and the history in Firefox.<br />
    "Most Visited" shows a list of websites that have the highest visit count, so if you want sites to appear in that list then you need to visit a site often enough to make it match the visit count of other sites in that list.<br />
    You can see the visit count in the Library if you make that column visible (View > Show Columns).<br />
    It may be easier to create your own folder with favorite sites and place a copy of a bookmark in that folder.<br />
    That will also allow you to sort them as you like.

  • New Tab Page - thumbnails are not using the files from cache folder, but they want a connection to their origin website.

    Hi there,
    each time I visit a website, FireFox saves a thumbnail of all these sites for the "New Tab Page". Those thumbnails are cached in the 'thumbnails' Folder . That's so far ok for me.
    The problem is:
    Every time if I use the "New Tab Page" (...after shutdown & reopening the browser and only with 'mousehoover' on any thumbnail) all the thumbnails on that page don't use the cached thumbnails from the local profile folder.
    This means:
    Instead of using the cached thumbnail-files all(!) these thumbnails dials to their origin websites without(!) a mouseclick on any of these thumbnails (...see jpg pictures) !
    I'm using the "Clear history when Firefox closes" with the following options:
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.cache - true
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.cookies - true
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.downloads - false
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.formdata - true
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.history - false(!)
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.offlineApps - false
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.passwords - true
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.sessions - true
    privacy.clearOnShutdown.siteSettings - false(!)
    So, i can't believe that this homedialing of pinned and unpinned thumbnails should be a normal function.
    1. Screenshot: thumbnails in the New Tab Page
    2. Screenshot: the same thumbnails in the Cache Folder "thumbnails" (...also they are there after shutdown of Firefox)
    3. Screenshot: Dialing to the origin websites (...after restart of Firefox)
    The Browser Version is Firefox ESR 31.2.0 and in the installation are no Add-ons, which are - for example - prefetching linked websites.
    I would like to use the "New Tab Page" without 'homedialing', so the question is:
    How can I force the thumbnails to use the cached thumbnail-files ?
    or
    How can i disable the 'loading of content from their origin websites' already on mousehoover ?

    There is a preload pref available that you could try to disable on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    *browser.newtab.preload = false
    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.
