How do i make the new tab open with my home page?

when opening a new tab the page is blank and I would like to have it open with my home page.
also very frequently firefox does not shut down when logging off. this results in the computer sitting idle using up the battery... using Vista as the OS

You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
*Java Plug-in 1.6.0_03 for Netscape Navigator (DLL Helper)
Update the [[Java]] plugin to the latest version.

  • How do I make all new tabs open with my home page?

    When I open a New Tab, it opens with a blank page.
    Is there any setting which will force each New Tab to open with my Home Page?

    New Tab in Home Page: You can modify Firefox with an extension, though I personally would not want that at all, before dismissing a tab I make sure there is nothing in the tab in a backward direction, and would consider looking at anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for.
    with the following:

  • How do I make a new tab open with my home page

    I would like new tabs to open to my home page. How do I do this?

    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.

  • How do I make a new tab open all the say to the right, as it used to, instead of just to the LEFT of the last tab?

    I have 6 tabs set up and have become very accustomed to the position they’re in. When doing a specific task for my job, a 7th tab opens up. It has always opened all the way to the right. When I’m done reading the information it gives me, I just quickly “x” it out to return working. Yesterday I noticed that this 7th tab was not opening up all the way to the right. It was opening in the next-to-last position to the right. This might not seem like a problem, but when I go to close it, I’m so used to x-ing out the one to the far right, that I’ve been x-ing out a tab that I need.
    So the question: How can I get the new tab that opens to appear all the way on the right again? Again, this is not adding a new tab. If I add a new tab to search for something, it does open all the way to the right.
    == I rebooted my computer a few days ago...

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
    Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''

  • How do I disable the "New Tab opened" button that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?

    Dear Helpful Open Source people.
    I would like to disable the "New Tab opened" that appears for 3secs when I open a new tab?
    I usually open tabs from a search engine's results page expecting the links to be of varying quality. This means that it is efficient to open several links from that page and review and close them sequentially later. A reality of the output of search engines is that your 1st link is sedom the one you want.
    This button clutters an already small phone screen. I've hardly the space to click outside it and move on often clicking it by accident. Waiting prevents me scrolling to click the next link for 3 seconds or worse when I scroll prematurely I accidentally click it and jump to that Tab prematurely. I don't need to be told what I just did. I know... There is a perfectly functional tabs button in Firefox Android that let's me jump to my new tab in less than second with 2 presses when I wish to do so.
    I appreciate that it's "only" 3 seconds and a 1st world problem, but browsers and OS designers aspire to fast customisable function. Maybe there's a way to get rid of this button?
    The button is shown in section 3 of "Open a Link in a New Tab" in this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/using-tabs-firefox-android
    PS. Mozilla - great work with the Sync function keep developing!!

    For some reason, Android calls that little notification bar a "toast" so that's the new tab toast. It was added in Firefox 12.
    I can't see any preference to suppress it, so I think that would require filing a new bug (request for enhancement). If you feel strongly, I think you are the best person to file it.

  • How do I make all new tabs open on the far right?

    I do not want to use tab groups, or have a tab open to the immediate right of current tab. Whenever I open a new tab I want it to open to the right of all other tabs.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
    ''Accept the warning message.''
    At the top in the Search bar paste this pref.
    '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' = then lower on this pref double-click to toggle to '''false'''

  • How do I make a new tab open to a Mozilla start page?

  • Is it possible in Firefox to have a new tab open to my home page? Currently, it is just blank. I have to click the 'Home' icon to load my home page. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

    I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7.

    A blank page is the default for a new tab. You can middle-click the Home button to open a new tab with your homepage, or you can install this extension and set it for your homepage.

  • How to make the new tabs to open the same URL as the startup page?

    Hello!
    I was wondering if it's possible to configure the Firefox in such a way that the new tabs open exactly the same URL that is typed in the Options. I tried to set browser.newtab.url to about:home but it gives me Firefox Google custom page instead of the startup page that I've set in the Options. Another way I tried is to set the browser.newtab.url value in about:config to the same URL as the startup page URL, but then if I change the URL in the options the new tab URL is not changed. So the question is whether it's possible to make the Firefox read the URL that is used for the startup page and go there when opening a new tab.

    You can use a addon or about:config
    <h2>Addon</h2>
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/‎
    <h2>About:config</h2>
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|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.
    # Enter '''browser.newtab.url''', double click the result.
    # A new window should now show, enter your homepage url in the box, then hit ok.
    # Open a new tab, does it work.

    You can try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
    *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 about:addons page.
