How do I control what page opens when I click "new tab" in FF 3.6.17?

I used to get a blank page when I clicked on "new tab" but now I have started getting a yahoo page. I would like to go back to a blank page where I can enter the new url I want to open.

Make sure you dont install any third party toolbar or addons?
* go to Tools-Addons to check
you can use one of this extension for new tab page

  • Can I specify a page to be opened when I click 'new tab' instead of the 'empty' tab?

    When I open a new tab, I'd like to be able to specify what it opens, instead of the 'empty' tab.

    There are a number of extensions that provide a feature like that.

  • How do I prevent Mail from opening when I click an email address in Safari?

    My wife and I both use Yahoo! Mail. Neither of us uses the Mail app to manage our email. How do I prevent Mail from opening when we click an email address in Safari?  Is it possible to direct Safari to open a separate web browser prompting us to log in to our Yahoo! Mail?

    Hmm.. probably not.
    You want to open Mail. Then go into Preferences > General and you will see something similar to this:
    In the area marked Default Mail reader click on the pull down and at the bottom of the list it will say Other. You can see if you can select Safari here and if that will open up Safari.
    Good luck.

  • How do I set what page will open up when I click new tab?

    I just downloaded something from the internet and ASK is now my default page when I open up a new tab. I managed to set what page I wanted when I open up the browser, but when I am in the browser and I click NEW TAB it goes back to ASK. Any ideas?

    You may need to remove an Ask extension. You can check on the Add-ons page:
    Tools menu > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions, then disable/remove unwanted (or unrecognized) extensions.
    The actual address for the new tab page is a hidden setting. To adjust it:
    (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 search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Command+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • When opening a new tab, how do i costumize what page opens? i would like it to open to either a blank page or to Google.

    after opening up my web browser to goggle, a new tab open up to a generic page: Internet Search. i would like it to either open to just a blank page or to goggle. how do i change this.

    New tabs open with a blank page by default. If you want a web page to open in a new tab then you need an extension.

  • How to i control what page a new tab displays

    when i open a new tab it displays a yahoo search page, i want it to display a google search page

    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 can I make Quicktime stop opening when I click a streaming media link?

    I was very happily using Windows Media Player 9 for streaming video in Firefox, and it was working fabulously, until I installed Flip4Mac, and now when I click on a link within a web page to open a standalone player for steaming video (please see "Click here to open standalone player" link below web cam window on www.tappedintoelephants.com) it opens Quicktime instead of Windows Media Player. I would like it to go back to using WMP for the standalone player when I click that link. I tried unchecking the "steaming media" box in Quicktime MIME settings, I've uninstalled Flip4Mac, and reinstalled WMP, but still, when I click that link, it opens Quicktime and crashes the browser. Could anyone please tell me how I can tell Firefox to once again use WMP instead of Quicktime for the standalone player? As I said, unchecking the streaming media checkbox in QT MIME settings had no effect. Thank you very much. I appreciate your help!

    I think what you should try is Settings>General>Accessibility>Vision>Speak Auto-text>Off.

  • How do I get safari to open pop-ups in new tabs rather than in new windows?

    Just recently I took my 13" MacBook Pro (Late 2010 Model) to my local Apple Store. When I brought it there they fixed my problem, but in the mean time they had to completely delete and uninstall Safari and Google Chrome off of my laptop. Before the apple store, my Safari would always open pop-ups and links in a new tab, now they open up in a new window. Does anyone know how to change it so they open in new tabs? The reason I need this changed is I might have unecessary websites open, and they would just be taking up space.
    Thanks for your help,

  • How to stop closed web pages from reloading into a new tab?

    Web pages reload automatically, creating multiple copies of the same page. This happens on news sites (e.g., the Guardian). The page will even reopen after being closed.
    Suggestions THAT DO NOT WORK:
    1) Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    2) GreaseMonkey and its ridiculous scripts that are badly documented and problematic to have work.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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 or otherwise make changes.

  • When i click new tab i want it to be blank, i don's see an option to change this

    everytime i click on new tab this "babylon" search thing comes up. i never asked for this i dont know where it came from. i tried changing it. there are no option to change it. i uninstalled and reinstalled mozilla still same problem. please help. i want all my tabs to start with google how it used to up until today.

    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.
