How do i open a new tab and its automatically opens to my home page

when i open a new tab it goes straight to snapdo.com. how do i change this so when i open a new tab it opens straight to google without having to type it in or clicking a bookmark button?

This might not be the same for everyone but I noticed that at the bottom of the search page I was trying to get rid of there was a link titled 'reset tab settings to normal' then I was prompted by a dialog window to change the default tab. this worked for me.

  • How can I click on 'new tab' and have all my frequent sites come up the way they used to?

    In the old firefox, I would click on a new tab, and when the window came up it showed nine little pictures of my most used websites. Excellent feature that I loved!!! Installed the new version of Firefox on Friday, and now when I open a new tab I just get a blank page. This is REALLY going to slow down my work. If the new Firefox won't show me my windows, I'd like to go back to the old version.

    What email program or email site do you want Firefox to fire up to send the message?
    In the Preference dialog, you might be able to select the program from a list. In some cases, you need to take extra steps to add it to the list.
    Firefox > Preferences > Applications
    In the search box above the list, type '''mailto''' and then pause to let the list filter down. Does the drop-down control on the right side let you choose your preferred email program?

  • How do I activate the new tab feature that shows a dozen favorite web pages? It works for a brief spell when a fresh FF is installed, then it stops working.

    What I get on a new tab is a header that says: "You've opened a new tab" and a search box. But I prefer the FF feature that shows my favorite web pages when I open a new tab, but it seems precarious and a bit unstable. If I could easily restore the feature, I'd be happy enough. The Help information on this feature says to click on a button to add a web page, but I don't see that button on my FF 16. Also the Help page refers to "pinning" a web page onto the new tab page using a pin icon, but I don't have that icon either.

    What is the value of the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    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 "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you are not able to keep changes permanently (e.g. they revert after restarting Firefox) then see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • How do I set a defaut page for New Tabs? (make it same as my Home page, first tab)

    Each new tab creates a blank "untitled" tab. I want my new tabs to open with my Home page default. I thought earlier versions of FF let me do this.
    99% of the time I need a new tab, it is for a new search, so just want my iGoogle Home page to show up.

    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/

  • I right click a link to open it in a new tab and it doesn't load the web page.

    In firefox 4 I right click a link and go to open in new tab but it doesnt load the link it loads a Bing search instead. This is very frustrating, how can i fix this?

    Sounds like this bug:

  • Is it possible to have the Navigation Toolbar (or at least the pop-up Location Bar) show automatically when I open a (blank) new tab and be automatically hidden once I select an address/search?

    I'm obviously aware of the possibility to show/hide the Navitation Toolbar manually, but I'd like to have it done automatically to get the best of screen space and navigation ease.

    Thanks cor-el! I had tried that out, but was turned off by the different workflow (can't click Tab to select the address suggestions) and assumed by the look that I couldn't use my Smart Keywords for searches.
    In fact, the workflow isn't that much bulkier and the Location Bar is fully functional:
    * ''for a search: Ctrl+L, (Smart Keyword +) [search terms], Enter''
    * ''for a suggested address: Ctrl+L, Down, Enter, Enter''
    Still, it would be nice in future versions if:
    # the Location Bar could automatically open when opening a (blank) new tab (just as the cursor automatically goes to the Location Bar when a new tab is opened with the Navigation Toolbar showing) to avoid the Ctrl+L step of the workflow
    # the Tab, Enter workflow could be enabled for selecting address suggestions in the pop-up Location Bar
    Or (most simply in my mind):
    if '''the Navigation Toolbar could be set to show when a (blank) new tab is opened and disappear once an address/search is selected'''.

  • Running Firefox 4.0 - but when I hit new tab it does not default to my home page, how do I fix?

    In the earlier version I had of Firefox 3. something-can't remember now, whenever I opened up a new tab it automatically opened up in my home page "Bing" http://www.bing.com. Now when I open a new tab, it's simply a blank page. How do I get it to open the Bing page automatically whenever I open a new tab?
    Thanks.

  • Page that appears when I click + to open a new tab... I set my home page as Google, but when I click + to open a new tab, I get AVG's search engine. In one solution, AVG suggested "open FF about:config...etc."

    then... "change browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID AND browser.startup-homepage_override.mstone
    Running Windows 7 - Firefox 10.0.2

    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.

  • Latests update adds a new tab with social media links to exsisting home pages. How do I stop this?

    When I open Firefox, my homepages (4) are loaded, then after a slight delay, there a new tab appears with social media links and the new tab is active. I want to stop the new tab from opening!

    Uh-oh, you might have installed an unofficial bundle containing the update. If your download history indicates the source, can you report it here?
    Your "More system details" shows the MySearchDial extension. I recommend removing that, either from the Add-ons page (if possible) or from the Windows Control Panel.
    Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then find MySearchDial and remove it (or at least disable it).
    If necessary, open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring recent infections, er, additions, to the top.
    Any luck cleaning it up?

  • How do I open multiple Firefox home pages? I want all of my different Firefox email accounts open at the same time. I recently upgraded to Win7 and now I have to close and open Firefox to access another email acount!

    I want 3 separate, distinct Firefox home pages for each of my 3 email accounts to be open at the same time.

    Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
    Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
    As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
    IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

  • What happened to "news", etc. and "most visited" at top of home page?

    I used to have items on the home page that I could click on such as "news" which would take me to a site with news sources where I could search for news topics and get the latest info on a topic. There was also a "most visited" tab I could click that took me to a list of some sites that I most went to. These have disappeared w/ the latest update.

    Firefox 4+ versions have a different default homepage - '''about:home''' - than earlier versions of Firefox had - http://www.google.com/firefox .
    Set your homepage to the Google / Firefox page, to get those links. <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    As far as the "Most Visited", that should still be on the Bookmarks Toolbar, AFAIK. I know I have to delete that in every new Profile I create, but then again I am using Windows, not Mac OSX.

  • OLMRLIST screen how to fix the cost center tab and its impact?

    Hi
    Explain the function of the T-Code OLMRLIST.
    How does it interact with the MIRO T-Code?
    What is the significance of a field check box being checked in OLMRLIST. I particularly want to know about the Cost center field.
    Raja

    OLMRLIST is used to adjust teh screen variant for the MIRO screen. At the line item level you see layouts and each layout has a set of fields in the form of columns. These are adjusted via the screen layout variants in OLMRLIST like 7_6310 which is all information and like wise you have 6_6310, etc...

  • I just got a 64 bit new coomputer and use FirFox always. My home page Yahoo an dYahoo email work fine and fill the page but all other websites there is a 3-4' border around the words. What can cause that the 64 bit instead of 32 bit?

    I have tried everything I know in Windows 7 and your suggestions but nothing changes the look of each page. Only about half the page is being used for words and the rest is empty space. As I said my Yahoo and Yahoo email fill the page but nothing else does. Looks like words in a wide picture frame. This is Windows 7....64 bit...4GB memory and 1TB hard drive and Intel 3 chip

    Let me also copy and repeat -- since the developers' club apparently has chosen to not give it any weight or credibility -- a comment by a completely different user, in a different thread:
    "I am using the 64-bit nightly, and it is FAR faster than any release in 32-bit, and I have 2GB of ram. Usually the addon compatibility thing takes minutes, when with the nightly 64-bit, I was done in a matter of seconds. also, I notice that it is faster, pages load faster, there is less lag, and it all around seems better than 32-bit in every aspect, even though it is just automatically compiled and not tweaked."
    So, the developer's club position remains, "there really isn't much need for a 64-bit version", despite comments like that. Hmmm . . .
    Are you SURE you want to stand directly behind that answer, while people shoot at it?
