How do I open a NEW TAB that is BLANK. I don't wish to view Yahoo!s endless self promotion.

nothing to add

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.

How do I open a new tab to a blank page, instead of home page?

Currently when I open a new tab, it opens to my home page. I would like a new tab to open to a blank page instead, is there any way to have this happen?
I am currently running beta version of Firefox 18.0 on Windows 7

Type about:config into your address bar, press Enter. Accept the warning. Search for browser.newtab.url, right click it, and modify it to have the URL you want.

How do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

how do i open a new tab similar to using ctrl+k in ie?

Try Ctrl+t
Most of the shortcuts should be listed on the full menus. To display the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key or press F10.
Oops, sorry, Ctrl+k duplicates the current tab. To do that in Firefox, click in the URL of the page and press Alt+Enter.
There also might be an add-on that creates a more convenient method.

How do I open a new tab from address line?

You Will have to hold down the Alt key and press Enter to make the link open in a new tab without using an extension.
By default links always open in the same tab.
You can search the Add-ons website for an extension if you want to change this default behavior.

How do I open a new tab/new URL from a plugin's sidebar?

I have created a plugin with a sidebar. I would like to be able to change the URL of the current tab in the sidebar's window or open a new tab, given that I click a button in the sidebar (or an event is triggered in the sidebar). I am currently using the following Javascript code to go to a new URL:
content.location = newURL;
However, I have other buttons in the sidebar that open new (small) windows. If I first click one of these buttons to open a new window, then the above code fails; it changes the URL of the tab in THAT NEW WINDOW, not in the window of the sidebar. How do I change this?
This also seems to be complicated by the fact that the sidebar document does not have a parent. Any tips are appreciated!

Hi fireferret817,
Thank you for your question, however development questions are best answered in stackoverflow.com or the mozllazine.com forums.
If there are any differences made when you change the behavior of opening up a new url this option can be found in the Preferences/Options > Tab menu.

How do i open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared

how do open a new tab in firefox 6.01? the + symbol has disappeared - the tab grouping stuff is not intuitive

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

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 open a new tab not right next to the one I open from but next to the last?

Before I switched to the current version of Firefox, the new tab that I would open, was opening right after the last open tab previously opened.
Now if I have 4 tabs open and I open a new tab from inside the first one, the new tab opens as number 2 tab.
Is there an option that toggles the opening sequence ?

A couple of methods, first use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/61766/ New Tabs at the End] add-on. The second method involves changing a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# In the filter box type '''related'''
# Double-click on the preference browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to change its value to '''false'''

How do I open a new tab at a specific web site

When I open a new tab (in Firefox 5) I want it to opne at my home page (google). I cant seem to make firefox 5 do this, yet it worked fine in Firefox 3. Have a missed a point somewhere?

Do you see that button if you open the Customize window?
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

How can I make firefox give the focus (the cursor) to the address bar when I open a new window - as it does when I open a new tab (to about:blank)?

When I open a new tab using CTRL-T, the address/awesome bar has the focus.
When I open a new window using CTRL-N, it does not.
Can the behaviours be made consistent via setting a configuration option or key?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello wodow, please check it in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#firefox:linux:fx27 safe mode], do you have the same behaviour ? DO NOT reset, select "Start in Safe Mode".
thank you

No tabs are showing when only one window open. How do I open a new tab?

Just upgraded to latest version. When only one window is open, no tabs show across the top. If I have two tabs open, both show across the top, but go to no tabs if I close one of them. And, the + sign is available for opening a third tab if at least two are open. The only way I can find to open a new tab when only one window is currently open is to turn off the menu, click the orange Firefox drop-down, and click New Tab. Why isn't it showing a tab, and a + tab (to open a new one) when only one tab (window) is open.

Thanks everyone for the quick responses. Cntl + T works fine, and I did move the + window to the nav bar, which also works well.
I had already gone into options and checked the box for always showing the tab bar, but it doesn't show it. I even unchecked it, saved the settings, the rechecked and saved the settings. Doesn't seems to make any difference.
I'm okay with it not showing a tab when I only have one open, just so I can get to a new one easily when I want it.

New Tabs appear as :Blank, why don't they open in my home page every time?

I have set my home page to the standard Google Ireland search page and this works fine. But when I open a new tab, it opens as a blank tab every time.
