How do I get a new tab to open up in a blank page instead of a pre-set one?

When I open a new tab, I would like it to open up a blank page, not this site: http://start.facemoods.com/?a=ust&f=2

Since you have an extension called "Facemoods", I would guess it has something to do with that extension. Go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions , locate "Facemoods" and click on it, click either Disable or Uninstall , restart Firefox by clicking Restart Firefox in the Extensions window. Test.

How do I get my new tab to open to google search?

My page used to open to avg secure search for new tabs. I figured out how to disable it but now cannot figure out how to set it so that my new tabs open to a google search.
Thanks

Actually it does.
A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that wasn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior and you probably did disable that extension.
You need another extension if you want a new tab to open with a specific page.
You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/
You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

How can i get a new tab to open on my homepage

i wish my new tabs to open on my homepage.
How do i set this up please?

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

How do I get a new tab to open with my fave search engine?

I have Vista with the updated Firefox. I want my favorite search engine to automatically load when I select a new tab. So far, I can only get a blank page or preset group of tabs to load, not my search engine. I can get this with IE, how can I do this with Firefox? When I updated the Ask&Record toolbar to the Freecorder Community Toolbar, I deselected the changes, hoping this would not change my settings, but it seems that didn't work as expected.

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

When i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url space it opens a new search page. how do i get the new tab to open at the url?

when i open a new tab, rather than the curser flashing in the url window it opens a new search page. a new tab used to open at the url - how do i get it to do so again?

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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

How can I get a new tab to open to a specific page?

I use speed dial add-on and have for a few years. I had an issue with firefox yesterday and had to reinstall it and lost all my settings. I added the speed dial add-on and tried to set it as my home page, but when I restart instead of going to speed-dial it goes to a new tab page and the homepage has changed in the options setting. No matter how many times I try and switch startup page/home page to speed dial, it keeps changing back to new tab.

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

How can I get my new tabs to open to my homepage?

When I open a new tab, I want the tab to open straight to my set homepage. For example, my homepage is set to Yahoo.com, so when I open a new tab, how can I make it so that tab will open right to Yahoo.com?

Not an efficient way of using Firefox, in my opinion. There used to be a configuration option to do that but that no longer works, but either of these two extensions will do that.

(7KB), or
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221 NewTabURL] (47KB).
What I think would be better is to only open your home page when Firefox first opens. To open a Yahoo page later, use a keyword shortcut -- see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]

How do I get a new tab to open? Clicking on the "Open A New Tab" (+) does nothing.

I use to be able to open multiple tabs on Firefox by clicking the + (Open A New Tab). Now nothing happens when I click this button.

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' ('''''if you have it installed'''''). It can cause that problem.

You can open your second profile which is no ability of receiving new mail and export all of messages/contacts/calendar item to a PST file and save it somewhere.
Then open the first profile, import the privious PST file into this profile to solve the problem.
Using .pst files in Microsoft Outlook is good way to transfer the data, here is some information how to manage the PST file for your reference.

I cannot get a new tab to open when clicking the plus sign beside an open tab or clicking the "open new tab" button via right clicking my mouse.

I can no longer get a new tab to open by clicking the new tab button. New tabs do open only when I click on a link in the current tab or by right clicking the home button and opening that specific page.

This issue can be caused by the Ask.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbX-SD/3.12.2.16749
