I want to know how I configure firefox to see the thumbnails with the most visited sites when I open a new tab so i dont have to type everytime the site where I want to go, since I dont know how I dont see them anymore. I appreciatte your help!!! Thanks!!

Right, well I duly consider myself suitably told off for wanting my home page to behave normally, and saying so.
I didn't imagine for one moment that there would be a solution; if you can't complain here, where can you complain.

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

It is probably a JavaScript link.
You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
''Did that work?''
Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:

How do I turn off frequently visited in safari new tab.

How do I turn off frequently visited in safari new tab. Note, I still want favorites to show. But I feel it is inappropriate for safari to track frequently visited sites. I wish I could use private browsing more, but I hate that keychain doesn't work in private mode. Also, why can't I turn history completely off?

To turn on private browsing, tap Safari, then tap in the lower-right corner. Tap Private to turn private browsing on.
Note: If you're using an iPad, tap , then Private.
Tap again > turn off private.

Not a question, but a solution to unwanted thumbnails appearing in new tab.

I have been forced to create a new profile because, after an update to version 17.0, Firefox persisted in opening tabs from the previous session. Unfortunately another problem developed, namely, the constant appearance of a series of thumbnails in a new tab, a facility that I definitely do not want. After consulting Mozilla help and forums I tried all of the suggested solutions to no avail.
I eventually went about:config browser.newtabpage.enabled and rendered it false. The annoying thumbnails have disappeared!!!!!

Yes, that post was spam and I've removed it.
You can create these Boolean prefs on the about:config page if you want to disable the thumbnails on the about:newtab page.
*name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled with value: true
*name: pageThumbs.enabled with value: false

What is the Startup setting?
*Options > General > Startup: Home page
Is that "Show my windows and tabs from last time" or one of the others?
You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can also check the settings for "Clear history when Firefox closes" in case this feature is enabled and if enabled then disable this as a test (i.e. remove the checkmark).
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [ ] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-browsing-search-and-download-history
Make sure that the disk cache is enabled and working because the thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the disk cache. You can check the on the about:cache page (there should be disk cache section).

How to change the page that opens with a new tab to the default thumbnail screen?

Some nefarious add-on appeared, so I deleted it. But I'm still left with it's search engine as my new tab page, instead of the default page with the thumbnails, which I infact really like.
This has happened before, and I don't know how to get rid of it without resetting Firefox and losing all of my bookmarks (I know I can back them up), cache and other shizzle.
So, how do I restore my new tab page to default?

*1 
'''''Download the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''''' 
This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets
your search preferences and home page to their default values,
and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar
searches, and the home page. 
*2 
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

HT4759 I have the icon above in settings. How do I get into see what is in icloud? Thanks

I have the icon above in settings. How do I get into see what is in icloud? Thanks

Thanks, but there's nothing in there I find that tells me how to get my Menu bar back. All of chatzilla's options are in the menu bar for any settings to be made. Without that, I have no hope of fixing what went wrong. I tried removing and reinstalling chatzilla, but that didn't work. My problem is that I lost the menu bar at the top of the chatzilla window. If I can't get that back, then I'll just have to deal with it until I'm able to buy a new machine, which I need anyhow. But being as this happened from something I did, there should be a way to undo what I did, or at least get back the menu bar.

How to stop newtab-page flickering/refreshing when opening new tabs by ctrl-clicking thumbnails?

Often when opening new tabs from thumbnails in newtab-page (about:newtab) the whole newtab-page refreshes itself or otherwise flickers. This sometimes causes that some new tabs are not opened when ctrl-clicking multiple thumbnails in a row. Does the newtab-page recalculate after every click what thumbnails it should show and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in thumbnail order.)

Hi FFanatic,
Please update to version 32 to see if this is still happening. Go to About Firefox and click the update button.

When I click on a bookmark stored in my bookmark toolbar it opens in a sidebar rather than a new tab. How do I get it to open in a new tab?

I just set my bookmark toolbar up with my most often used URL's. However when I click on a bookmarked URL from my toolbar, it opens in a sidebar to the left on my main screen, rather than in a new tab. The sidebar is cumbersome because I have to scroll around to see the entire screen. How do I get the URL to open in a new tab, not in the sidebar?

Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

How do I change the default site for a new tab?

I want to change the page that opens when I open a new tab. I followed the answer that was given for the "how do I change which website that opens when I open a new tab?" question (4/5/14, given by ideato to emmafrom), without success.
(The steps advised were:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
copy and paste in the search field browser.newtab.url
double-click on it and type the web page you want
Click OK, and you are OK. !)
As mentioned, this did not work. I still get a bing search page for a new tab, regardless.
Please advise.

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

When I open a new Tab, it's filled with an unwanted site. How do I open a blank page in a new Tab?

Seems like an unscrupulous web site had made itself the default New Tab location. Every time I open a new tab, the unscrupulous site appears. I simply want a blank page when I open a new tab. How do I get rid of this "default" new tab setting?

See:
*[[/questions/981200]] get rid of outfox.tv in tab
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).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

How do I get Thunderbird to switch to a new tab immediately like I can with Firefox?

Every time I open a new tab in Thunderbird, no matter how I do it (menu, double-click, etc) it opens the content in a new tab, but remains focused on the current tab. How do I get Thunderbird to immediately switch to a new tab when I open one? It's quite annoying to have to mouse back to the tab list and click on the new one every time. This is SO simple to configure in Firefox, but seems to be totally missing in Thunderbird. Weird.
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Scott Lindley

Video thumbnail opens in new tab automatically

When visiting some websites with video thumbnails, including Google Mail and Startribune.com, Firefox will sporadically open a new tab with the video thumbnail.
This happens as a new Gmail message or as the website loads. It happens in safe mode as well as with extensions enabled. The problem cannot be reliably replicated even with identical URLs.
This is the link to a Youtube video that opens automatically when sent in a Gmail message: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzlhBU4nkQw&feature=player_profilepage
The tab that opens is not the actual Youtube video page, but rather a link that starts with https://nl3atn8402ncgahndqn8rb6qi2ld2g5a-a-gm-opensocial.googleusercontent.com/gadgets/ifr?url=
On the page is just the thumbnail-sized video.

Do you use earthlink (esp webmail)? I figured out that it is a problem with an ad they are running. At least that's what it was for me. If you log completely out of webmail and shut safari down and restart it without going to earthlink webmail, the teebik popups do not come back (even with a lot of browsing to multiple other sites).
I installed the adblocker extension and so far that is taking care of it -- was able to turn things back on to get webmail functionallity back, without the teebik ads.
Not sure that's what Earthlink WANTED me to do -- as I no longer see ANY earthlink ads -- but hey, it got rid of the teebik stuff they were forcing on me.

Just upgraded to FF 13 and not seeing site conent on new tab page

I upgraded from FF 9 or 10 to 13. I have not been able to see any site content on my new page tab. Ive cleared my cache restarted in safe mode and disabled all extensions and add-ons. Im still able to see content. Im only able to see the boxes where the content would be and the urls. Click on them works but without content showing the page is slow to use.
I followed the steps here but it didnt help.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing?e=es&as=aaq

hello, sorry the i misread your first post - i thought even no pages show up. the thumbnails will also only work at the moment when disk cache is enabled (from your submitted system details it appears it is not) - please allow firefox to use at least a small amount of cache on the harddrive in preferences > advanced > network & restart the browser, then the thumbnails should regenerate when you visit the pages afterwards.
edit: in case the above does not work, enter '''about:config''' into the location bar of the browser, search for the preference named '''browser.cache.disk.enable''' and toggle it to true by double-clicking on it...
