How do I get other tabs to automatically load my home screen, "google", instead of a blank?

When I used a previous browser the tabs opened to the home page? Can this be done with Firefox and if so how?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

One of these two add-ons should do that:

  • How can I get App Tabs to automatically load a fresh version of the page every time I click on them?

    I like the app tab feature and am using it for sites that I visit frequently, for example, weather sites. The problem I have is that when I click on say http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ta/arbroath_forecast_weather.html I get the site as it was the last time I used it. Today this meant I got a weather forecast starting from 2 days ago, not from today.
    I can get round this if I remember to "Reload" every time but I'm guessing that is not the way app tabs were intended to work.

  • When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

    When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

    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
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen?

    My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen? Have tried via itunes to move it and also swipping it - just won't come out.

    I have the same problem!  Let me know if you manage to sort it out.  My iPad did the same thing but to full restore from iTunes sorted that out. Have you tried that? No such luck with my iPhone.

  • How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?

    How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?  I don't know how I managed this - but my lovely 'happy' photo icon is gone from my home screen and I can only access it through the double click - I would like it back on the home screen...any ideas???

    You looked on every page & in every folder(if you have folders)? Still don't see it? If so: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

  • How do you get page tabs to automatically delete when you close Firefox. I now have to manally delete all of them - dozen of them!

    Each web page I go to leaves a tab at the top of the page above the website. They stay there until I manually delete them. My previous computer automatically shut them when I closed the home page

    You can right click one tab and choose "Close Other Tabs" to close most of them.
    Set the pref browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab to false on the about:config page to prevent closing the last tab from closing the browser and make a close button appear if only one tab is open.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • In FF5, how can I get new tabs to open to my home page?

    How can I get a new tab in FF5 to default to my home page? The add-on which did that doesn't work with 5.

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

  • How can i get a tab to open showing my home page?

    How do I get tabs to open in my home page?

    You can install one of the many add-ons to accomplish this. There are many different ones available, so you can just go to the Firefox add-ons page and search for "Home Page".
    Also, ensure that you've setup Firefox with your Home Page URL. If you haven't done so, follow the steps below:
    * Go to Options (i.e. \Firefox\Options\Options);
    * Go to the General tab;
    * Under Start-up - enter the URL in the Home Page URL box.
    Note: Make sure that you have chosen "Show my Home Page" under "When Firefox Starts" (use the drop down arrow).

  • How do I get other apps to switch to the actual Maps app instead of loading a webpage when I click on an address?

    Since upgrading to iOS 6, I've noticed something irritating.  Although I never used Google Maps before, I don't mind using the Maps app now because it provides turn by turn directions.  Yes, I've heard the supposed horror stories, but the thing works fine for me.
    However, I have run into a significantly irritating issue.  Whenever I click on an address and it tells me it will launch the Maps app, it doesn't.  Instead, it launches a webpage with Google Maps, which are more than useless as they only provide a list of turns.  How can I get my iPhone to actually do what it is saying it will do and have it launch the Maps app instead?

    I'm also on iPhone 4, iOS 6, and have exactly the same problem. I've tried resetting privacy settings, turning restrictions on and off, deleting and reinstalling apps. Nothing seems to work. The lists of apps in privacy settings are all empty, except for location services. When using Tweetbot the app is regularly asking for permission to access my twitter account, but even when I allow that, the app doesn't show in privacy settings. When I try to go into the camera roll from the Facebook app, the app tells me I have to allow access to the camera roll from the privacy settings - which I can't do since the app is not listed there.

  • How can I get new tabs to automatically open when I click on a new site (rather than replace the existing page I am using)?

    For some reason when i click on to a new site or link, tabs no longer automatically open so if i forget to manually click on the little plus sign at the end of the tab strip, my new destination replaces where i currently was. This was not the case in the past and I cannot find where to reset this so that a new tab will once again auto create. !
    I tried options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead, but this did not fix the issue. Can anyone tell me what i need to do get firefox to create auto creat a new tab when i move to a new link rather than replace the one currently in use? Thank you!

    You can middle click a link to open that link in a new tab.

  • How can i get new tabs to open on my home page?

    I would like to have new tabs automatically open to my home page like it does when Firefox starts up.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
    ''Accept the warning message.''
    Type '''newtab.url''' in the Search field at the top.
    Go down a bit to this pref - '''browser.newtab.url''' = right-click and select '''Modify''' - insert '''about:home''' - if you are using the default homepage, otherwise put the URL of your homepage in the dialog box

  • For some unaparent reason opening a new tab does not open my home page google. Been ok for years

    Now on Firefox 28.0. I got an update for Divx and installed. Following this new tabs were direct to search.conduit. I uninstalled this but now when I open new tabs I get a blank page and have to manually direct to my homepage. Previously a new tab opened automatically as my home page (Google). Starting Firefox gets me the correct homepage. How can I ensure that each new tab opens to my homepage?

    Your settings might have switched when you installed DivX. You can set the new tab page to something different by the following:
    *Navigate to about:config
    *Click ''I'll be careful, I promise!''
    *Search for '''browser.newtab.url'''
    *Double click the string, erase ''about:newtab'' and enter the one you want (www.google.com)
    *Close down Firefox and re-open.

  • How to I get new tabs to open to the correct home page?

    When I open new tabs they just go to a Google Search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar but as soon as it finishes loading Google it blanks out what I typed in and goes to the Google site. In other words, "blank" new tabs do not open to the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How do I change that? In other words, how do I get new tabs to stop opening to Google and start opening to either my home page or the Favorites screen? Thanks!

    You can modify the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set it to the desired page to open.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
