How do I change what I see when I open a new (blank) tab?

I always get "MyStart" by intellibar and I do not want that when I first open a blank tab. How do I go back to what I used to have?

  • How do i change what is displayed when i open a new tab?

    When i open a new tab it automatically comes up with Yahoo search engine in the new tab. I want change this to a google search tab. How do i do that?

    Opening Yahoo in a new tab is caused by a Yahoo related extension, possibly net assistant. To stop it going to Yahoo you can uninstall that extension.
    For an option to open new tabs to a site of your choosing, you can use the NewTabURL extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • Firefox, or probably some add-on, has changed what I see when I open a new tab; When I open one, there is a google search that is unwanted there!

    That's pretty much it. The 'new tab page' now also shows a search in Google, even though I never wanted it too! It is unsightly and doesn't help me a bit. If you can help, I would be grateful. Note: I will be gone the next six weeks (without my computer), so take your time in answering. Thank you ahead of time.

    Firefox Changed the New tab style with Tabs & Google Search.
    If you don't like, make it as a classic blank
    *Top Right Corner > Settings > Choose [x] Classic
    or
    Type '''about:config''' in URL and search for
    *'''browser.newtab.url''' and change the value to "mozilla.org"

  • How do I change the default page when I open a new tab or window?

    I recently downloaded a piece of software to translate languages. I removed the software, but remnants still appear. It changed my homepages (which I was able to change back). But, when I open a new window or tab, the search page associated with this software comes up.

  • Why doe s "Bing" always appear when I open a new blank tab? I want to stop this. Thanks, please advise.

    Have checked history and tabs and add-ons

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    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).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • FF 14.0.1: Bookmark with java-script function to build and open URL. Works unless clicked when already in a new blank tab, then does nothing. Why?

    On 14.0.1 I have a bookmark which calls a java script function to prompt for input, build and call a dynamic URL. This has worked fine until last update of FF. It works fine if I right click and select Open in a New Tab, or new window. It works fine if I am in any other website and click it. It only does not work, if I open a new blank tab or window, and then click it from inside that new tab. Then it does nothing. Same happens whether the "New tab Page" is displayed or not. Same happens in safe mode.
    Bookmark properties:
    javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Document%20Number:%22,%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22https://somecompany.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}

    I searched for a recent thread on this but couldn't find it.
    This may be the result of a security restriction on some "about" pages such as about:home and about:newtab.
    Did you blank the new tab page using the little button or did you actually change the new tab page to about:blank? In case you need steps for testing:
    (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 filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    browser.newtab.url = about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    browser.newtab.url = about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page

  • How can I do to change the web site when I open a new tab.

    Dear Friends...
    I cant find information, how to changes the web site when I open a second tab. Example: when I open Firefox my home page is google and that is perfect but when I open a second tab, why appears yahoo as home page? I want to changes that and I cant find how to do it . Thanks

    The normal behavior is to open a blank tab, an add-on will be causing it to display Yahoo. One add-on that does this is the freeze net assistant, if you have that one you can uninstall it and it should revert to opening a blank tab.
    There are add-ons that let you specify what should open in a new tab, 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.

  • How do I get rid of Yahoo when I open a new tab?

    My home page is set to Firefox but when I open a new tab, the tab is not Firefox with all my most visited sites! it's Yahoo.

    Here are some potential diagnoses and remedies when you run into problems with that setting:
    ''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting in about:config:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
    ''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
    ''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Also, Advanced SystemCare can cause this.
    Any luck?

  • How do I display my home page when I open a new tab

  • When I open a new internet "tab", only a blank page comes up, not my saved "home page"

    Running a Mac, had a new hard drive installed, reloaded Firefox, etc....
    When I open a new tab for a new internet page, my home page does not open, I only get a blank page "untitled". I never had this issue with the other HD in the Mac. All updates are current

    You must have had an extension that added that feature to Firefox with the old hard drive.

  • How can i change the default module when lr5 opens

    lr5 on my win7 pc opens in the print module.  how do i change this to open in the library module?

    Lightroom re-opens at the same place, i.e. Catalog, Module, file, etc where you were working when you last closed the program. If you wish to have the program open in the Library module then you need to return there before you close/shut down the program.

  • How do I set the default for when I open a new tab? It keeps opening to see strange search window.

    The answer that came up only applies to Windows - I am using a Mac.

    You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    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.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • How can i turn of the sound when you open a new tab?

    What is happening since today:
    Every time I open a new tab and it's done loading it gives a short "bloink" or whatever to call it.
    How do I turn it off?
    Thanks in advance for any tip you guys can give me.
    xxx

    That must be coming from the Windows operating system, as Firefox has one sound by default - for Type Ahead Find / Find As You Type.
    Unless you have an extension installed that added that sound feature, check Sounds and Audio Devices in the Win 7 Control Panel.
