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/

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.See:

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 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 . ThanksThe 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 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.
xxxThat 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. -
HT2589 How do I change what is displayed when I rate an app?
The name that shows up is not my Apple ID and I cannot find anywhere to edit this information but it shows up on all reviews that I write.
Hello er-apple,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the name displayed when writing reviews. It sounds like you need to update your Nickname for your Apple ID.
You can update this by going to the Store menu in iTunes on your computer. Select Store > View My Apple ID, and from there, you will see your account information. Near the bottom, you will see a Settings section which will list your Nickname; click Edit to the right of Nickname and update it to the name you would like to use.

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). -

Every time I open a new tab in firefox the babylon search page shows up, instead of a blank page. I have deleted every thing that contains babylon from my programs, restarted firefox, restarted my system and it's still there.
Try to reset Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]. This simple step will eliminate many Firefox problems with only one click.

I was on demonoid and I accidentally installed some software that I didnt want to. Once this happened I noticed that on both of my browsers firefox and chrome that this search site named trovi.com has taken over as my homepage and over my new tab. I fixed the problem on chrome and I fixed the home page problem on Firefox, what I cant figure out is how to get rid of this bane when I open a new tab. All I have all of my useful sites pinned there and it is very annoying.
I have been searching through all the options and cannot find a way to change this back to default without restoring the entire browser back to default. Which I really dont want to do. Thanks in advance
THis is the problem

How do I change what page Ffirefox goes to when I open a new tab?
I want my page to go to the default "about:blank" page when I open a new tab. But my mother installed a software that forced a new tab to go to a Yahoo search bar page. Is there any way to change it back?
I have checked my add-ons and uninstalled any pertaining to Yahoo and it still persists.

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?
Did you have the Google Toolbar installed?
