How do I open each new tab as my home page?

My home page includes my Google search box. I would like each new tab to be the same as my home page when opened. Please can you tell me how this is done?
Many thanks

cor-el, your detailed answer was great! Providing the exact item in the list of hundreds/thousands narrowed it down perfectly.
Note to others, I turned off the showing of all the recent sites (very few I visit often enough to be given that list on each new tab, history and multiple tabs does what I need).
You toggle them on/off with the only icon in the upper right of the page (looks like floor tiles with space between each tile) and even when turned off the selected browser.newtab.url shows.

Why cant I find an add-on to open a new tab in my home page on Firefox 5?

I have been able to open a new tab in my home page (Google in my case) in all of the other versions of Firefox. I am a loyal user but this is frustrating. I cannot locate an add-on for this feature. Is there something out there?

You can use one of the following IF you also install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, below (the developers need to update one line of their code to make them compatible with Firefox 5).

Safari can't automatically open a new tab on my Home Page?

OK - I have searched all over the web and this discussion site - are you telling me that outside of using a combination of keyboard shortcuts that Safari - UNLIKE EVERY OTHER BROWSER OUT THERE - can't open a new tab on the user's home page? Let's see if unlike every other post I've ever made to the discussion groups I will get an answer from someone.

are you telling me that outside of using a combination of keyboard shortcuts that Safari - UNLIKE EVERY OTHER BROWSER OUT THERE - can't open a new tab on the user's home page?
Correct. If you create a tab group you could click one bookmark entry to quickly open up your preferred homepages.
You're not the first to ask and not the only person who would like to see this. Send feedback via Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple...

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.

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.

Websites don't open in new tab on SharePoint 2013 pages

Hello,
I have Open in new tab checked in the page editor for a link on SharePoint 2013 page. When the page is published, the link does not open up at all. I have to do a right mouse click and select "Open in a new tab" manually. I am
using IE 11.
Anyway there could be something to get this to work with IE? When use the page in Google Chrome, the website opens up in a new tab. Not with IE.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I am editing links on a webpage on a SharePoint page. I am in the content management system on SharePoint 2014. I have check out the page and in the editing mode. I have highlighted a link on a page and can edit the link. There is an option to select
"Open in a new tab". This is an internal SharePoint site, our intranet. Client OS are Windows 8.1.
I have read that it could be the Pop-Up blocker or the Protect mode for intranet. I will check those out.

Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

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.
