How do I choose which webpage opens when I click open a new tab?

When I click "Open a new tab" Firefox takes me to yahoo.com. What if I want it to take me to google.com?

The normal behavior is to open a blank tab. An add-on will be causing it to open to Yahoo, a possible add-on doing this is the freeze net assistant. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it.
The NewTabURL add-on will let you choose what you want to open on a new tab, but I would only install it if you uninstall the add-on that is opening Yahoo due to possible conflicts between the add-ons - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl

  • 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.

  • How do I access recorded meetings? when I click on the 'meetings' tab it says I don't have permission

    how do I access recorded meetings? when I click on the 'meetings' tab it says I don't have permission

    Meeting recordings will have a direct URL, just like meeting rooms and content within Connect. You likely not a member of the Meeting Host group or Admin group within that Connect account, so you don't have the permissions to access the Meeting Library.
    You will either need the Host of the meeting room that you are looking for the recording of to get you the link, and insure you have the correct permissions to view it, or have them move the recording to the Content Library where it can be placed in a folder that you have permissions to view.

  • How do I choose which items appear when I open my Imac for the day?

    How do I choose which items appear on the screen when I open my Imac (intel) for the day, after shutting down the night before? Thank you. ArmandL

    There are two ways. Mt Lion and Lion have a feature that launches all programs that were running when you logged out or shut down. You can toggle this feature on and off when you shutdown/log out. Or you can set up login items in your user settings which will automatically launch any program you set there. To do this launch System Preferences, select Users and Groups and click on the Login Items but near the top part of the dialog. Click on the + button to add programs you want to be launched when you login or start up the computer.

    You can look at one of these extensions:

  • 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 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.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • How do I stop Firefox from opening a new tab when I click a link or navigation button (such as "home") instead of redirecting using the currently open tab?

    Any time I click on a link within a page, such as the "home" link in Facebook, or the various links on the Mozilla page that I needed to follow to get to this screen, Firefox opens a new tab instead of redirecting using the tab I'm on. Also, Firefox doesn't go to the new tab, it just opens it. So if I want to actually go to the page I've just clicked on, I have to then also find and click on the new tab that just opened.

    Hello,
    In safe mode link still open in new tabs?
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.tabs.loadInBackground''' change its value to '''false'''.
    If in safe mode the links still open in new tabs try go to '''about:config''' and search for:
    *'''browser.link.open_newwindow''' change its value to '''3'''.

  • When entering a new website it overrides the previous site, how can i get it to open a new tab instead

    I DON'T KNOW THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, I JUST THOUGHT THAT IF THERE IS A WAY TO OPEN A NEW TAB EACH TIME YOU ENTER A NEW WEBSITE WITHOUT OVERRIDING THE PREVIOUS ONE. YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO REMEMBER TO ENTER THE PLUS SIGN EACH TIME YOU WANT TO OPEN A NEW WEBSITE.

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
    That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
    For links that do not specify a target use a middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the link or use the right-click context menu to open the link in a new tab or window.<br />
    Left-click a JavaScript link to avoid getting a blank tab.

  • How do I set the default page when I select "+" for a new tab? Right now it defaults to Yahoo search and I want to set it to my Speed Dial page. I did have the default page set to Speed Dial but I can't find anywhere how I did it in the past.

    You can set the homepage for opening tabs, but I can't find the setting for designating what page opens when I hit the + button on tabs.
    This is the page that loads:
    http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20100937,6693,0,16,0
    How did Yahoo embed this in the Tab settings?

    Firefox '''does not''' come with a setting for a page that opens in a new Tab, the default installation always opens a blank page when you open a new Tab. Many extensions include a feature to open their choice of a webpage when you open a new tab, as does the Speed Dial extension which uses a "local page" internal to Firefox.
    You need to figure out which extension has taken over that preference that Speed Dial needs to use. You didn't bother providing a Troubleshooting Information... listing as requested when you asked this question, but I can guess your problem is related wither a Yahoo extension or a Conduit / OurToolbar extension - as there is a plugin listed = Package Installer & Install Conduit.
