How do I change what website opens up when I click on a new tab?

I unintentionally downloaded a Yahoo toolbar which was installed into my Firefox browser. I uninstalled the toolbar however when I click on a new tab, it opens up to the Yahoo search engine. I want to have it open up to a different page. When I click on new window it opens up to the correct site, but not new tab. How do I change this?

Install this extension and set it up for the desired URL for the new Tab. <br />

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

  • When I click on the "new tab" button it does not open a new tab, how do I fix this?

    Left clicking or right clicking on the new tab button does not open a new tab. Common fixes have been unsuccessful. I don't know what's wrong. It's a recent problem, and even though I'm using an older version of Firefox this hasn't been a problem before.

  • When I click for a new tab, the homepage is Search Yahoo...I never changed it to that. And I don't know how to get it back to Google. Help? Please!

    But when i open up Firefox, it does bring me to the firefox start up page, but if I click for a new tab it brings me to Search Yahoo

    Firefox's behavior is to open a blank page when you open a new tab. Your issue is most likely caused by one of the add-ons you have. Please see here: [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • How do I change what site opens in a new tab?

    Every time I open a new tab, it opens in the Yahoo search engine. I just want to change it to either be blank or to a different page, but the Tools, Options, Tabs settings don't give you those options. It didn't always go straight to Yahoo, but some program I downloaded installed it and stuck it there.

    Thank you for your help lolly. For those who found this not helpful, it might not be exactly where you want to be, however, it does get you looking in the right location. You may find yourself needing to go to Firefox | Add-Ons | Extensions | and there you should find something that does not look right, disable it.

  • When i click on the new tab I dont get the google page but some other search engine, how do I change it back to google?

    My home page is the default Google page but when i click on open new tab and it loads some other search engine's site instead. How do I change that back to Google? I've checked for any random add-ons but that doesnt seem to be the problem...

    Does that still happen is you disable the RadioBar Toolbar?

  • When I click on the "New Tab" button, or try to open a new tab through the "File Pull Down" Menu, a new tab does not open. How do I fix this?

    I cannot open new tabs. The new tab button, new tab option on the file menu and the new tab option when I right click on the tab all do not work. This started when I updated Firefox Yesterday. It is becoming annoying when trying to work with multiple tabs open. How can I fix this?

  • When I click on a new tab, the tab will not open, so I can only have one tab open at a time. How do I correct this?

    I've been using Firefox for about a year, and I use multiple tabs all the time. This evening, when I clicked to open a new tab, nothing happened. Firefox starts up and displays the first tab with the website I've specified, but when I try to open new tabs, nothing happens.

    Probably caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13+ versions, disable that extension or un-install it.

  • When I click for a new tab, how can I make it open with google as opposed to it being blank?

    The new tab always opens (untitled) with no www address. I would prefer it to open with google but cant find this option.

    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • When I click for a new tab this window now opens ... "chrome://nspdlmsd/content/newtab/newtab.html" - I want it to go back to being a blank page.

    As above.
    For the past few days now, whenever I click 'open new tab' in firefox it opens immediately at the url posted above. I did, unsuspectingly which is how they get you if you are not careful, installed MySearchDial but removed it completely through add/remove and start/search. I even have new windows opening up with content I do not like at all ... my home page is the same again, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get my new tab to open in a blank page again (btw at the bottom of this 'chrome' page there is an mysearch.com icon - I have googled 'how to remove this' with no success).
    I do not use Chrome and do not have it listed as one of the operating programs on my computer. However, when I start/search "chrome" there is a complete list of files and folders that are found and I am unsure if I should delete them all since many of them appear to be directly associated with Firefox. Please - this is frustrating ... what can I do to get rid of this garbage on my computer?

    The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
    1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
    2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
    3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
    4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
    This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

  • Open link with middle click to a new tab goes back to original page when selected

    Scenario:
    I am on a page (eg. a google search) and middle click a link to open it in a new TAB. The page opens in an adjacent TAB. I may or may not open other links in the same way.
    Problem:
    As soon as I select anyone of these new TABS it automatically jumps back one page history, eg. back to the google search page in this example.
    Comments:
    This was happening on my last PC and I have just got a new one. The problem was not there and now it seems to be back. Could it be a setting that is getting sync'd across from my online profile?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
