How do I display my home page when I open a new tab

When I open a new tab it shows a blank page how can I set the computer to show my home bag each time.

You can middle-click the Home button. Or you can install this extension.

  • 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.

  • I want firefox to open the home page when i open a new tab instead of a blank page.

    whenever i open a new tab, it shows me a blank page. i want firefox to go to my home page as soon as i click on new tab button.

    If you want to have a choice of blank or homepage in a new tab, there is a simple way around this.
    Open the Customize window and put the Home button on toolbar if not already.
    Use the middle-click (scroll wheel on mouse) on Home button to open your homepage in a new tab, whenever you want homepage to load in a new tab.

  • Why doesn't Firefox go to my Home page when I open a new tab? It used to.

    It should at least be a selectable option

    was there really a large selection of the population who preferred a useless blank page over the homepage they have chosen themselves??? And every solution I read suggests "middle clicking" the home button. I DON'T HAVE A MIDDLE BUTTON. Ctrl-clicking is ridiculous for something so simple, I prefer using CTRL T to open new tabs. I'm not saying it should be default but they could have at least made it an option.

  • I get a blank page when I open a new tab and would lie to have the thumbnails back - HOW?

    Firefox ver. 16.0.2
    Win 7
    I have tried the suggestions I find on the web.
    Your support page says:
    "The Firefox New Tab page shows pictures of the sites you visit frequently. Sometimes, some or all of these images are not displayed. We'll explain why that happens and how to get them back when it's possible."
    No I don't get any pictures at all when I open a new tab - It's blank, but I click on the following link:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
    I click on the link to follow instructions and end up here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    I click on this link: "The images of my top sites are gone - how do I get them back?"
    and end up here:

    and end up here:
    See The thumbnails on the new tab page are missing - how to get them back.
    I click on the link for information and end up..... were I started.
    So - Could someone be nice and explain how I get the thumbnails back?!
    Because I refuse to use IE, but considering Opera..... Please advice!

    You can change this in Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (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 filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • How to change the opening page, when we open a new tab?

    When I open a new tab, it opens the babylon search (which is annoying). How to change it to the thumbnail view showing most visited pages?
    PS: I have not installed anything Babylon related to my PC. I checked the control panel nothing Babylon related is there.

    Hi,
    You can try to right-click and '''Reset''' the '''browser.newtab.url''' key in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config].

  • 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 do I get Firefox to open my home page whenever I open a new tab?

    I have Google as my home page. Rather than opening a new tab and getting a blank page, I'd like to open a new tab and get Google coming up. I'm fairly certain that this was possible in old Firefox, and would like to know if it is still possible and if so how!?! Thanks!

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • Can I specify a Web Page to open (i.e., a Home Page) when I create a new Tab?

    When I create a new Tab, I get a blank page. I'd like the Tab to start-out with a Home Page that I specify - similar to the option that Firefox provides for each instance of Firefox that you start.

    Thanks,
    Those "add-ons" or "extensions" are not working for me.
    Using Windows 7.
    This has been going on for a while with me. 3 months ago I uninstalled FF then re-installed but it has same problems.
    Found about:config but wasn't sure if there is a solution on that screen.
    Uninstall again? Last time I uninstalled FF, I saved the bookmarks. But the re-install already had them in when I first opened. So I don't think i did that one correctly.

  • How do I get rid of babylon when I open a new tab

    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.

  • 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.
    xxx

    That 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.

  • When I click the home button firefox switches to the home page, but also opens a new tab with the firefox startup page.

    This is so annoying. I wind up with a bunch of extra tabs that I have to close.

    Make sure that you haven't set multiple home pages, separated by a pipe (|) symbol.
    See these articles for some suggestions:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

  • How do I set the default for when I open a new tab? It keeps opening to see strange search window.

    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).

  • Why are my homepages not saving in the options? Why is an unsolicited search page replacing my home pages when I open a new session of Firefox?

    I am repeatedly having to reset my homepages in the Tools and Options toolbar. Why are my homepages being replaced without my permission?

    Sounds like you picked up some Malware.
    Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
    You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

  • DON;T WANT TO GO TO HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN NEW TAB

    HOW DO I STOP GOING TO HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN A NEW TAB? I DON'T WANT TO GO TO HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN A NEW TAB, I WANT TO SEE A BLANK PAGE, THEN I CAN PUT IN THE URL OF MY CHOICE. I ONLY WANT TO SEE HOME PAGE WHEN I OPEN FIREFOX, OR WHEN I SELECT IT USING THE HOME PAGE BUTTON.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
