How do I Permanently remove a tab that is called "new tab" but is a Blank Page?

Every time I turn my computer on, I click my Firefox icon in taskbar at bottom, BUT, not only does my homepage tab show up, but lately I have been seeing another tab showing up beside it called "New Tab" but it is Blank. I don't how it all of a sudden showed up, but I can't seem to get rid of it. I right click & "close tab", but I have to do this every time I turn on my computer. Isn't there a way to Permanently Remove this Tab so it doesn't keep showing up on my Tab Bar?

Unfortunately that was empty too. The Firefox upgrade at that time seemed to wipe an awful lot of stuff. After searching, re-installing etc, whatever was suggested, I gave up. It was a while back. I will remember your suggestions if it ever (hopefully not) happens again though. I did have a very old bookmarks backup, but that would not import, so I did use bits of it manually but it had saved as a massive merged line of sites without my folders, so was a bit too much to fiddle with. The loss of the classical music sites was what I regretted most, no idea what they were called and cannot find some of them now. Ah well, no point in fretting about it now I suppose.

  • How do I permanently remove "Authentication Required" window that continues to pop up?

    I am running Firefox 15.0.1 on Mac OS 10.6.8. A window continues to pop up that reads, "Authentication Required" and "Enter username and password for ftp://ftp.radiogarage.com". This happens every time Firefox is opened and continues to pop up approximately every 30-60 seconds until I close Firefox. How do I permanently remove/delete/get rid of this pop up window? I have clicked on Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox but that has not solved the issue. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • How can I add a button that opens a new tab?

    How can I quickly open a new (blank) tab without going to File --> Open New Tab. There has to be a button I can add or a box that isn't checked somewhere. I used to be able to click in the blank space in the row of tabs to open a new tab, but with this latest Firefox update, if I click in the blank space now, it just "restores" my browser window.
    To explain further - I know I can middle-click a link to open it in a new window, but if I'm on one page reading an article, and I want to open a new tab to look up a word or map or whatever, I need a faster way to open a new blank tab.

    You are right - there should be and there is on my windows 7 machine but not on my windows 8.1 machine. Firefox add-ins are identical. So how do I get the new tab button back?

    How can I permanently remove apps from my iphone, ipad, ipod operating in the iCloud?

    Apps don't operate in the cloud - they're either downloaded to your device, or they're in your Purchased list. You can't permanently remove the history of apps you've purchased, but you can hide them. See this link:

  • How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

    How do I remove a song that is on my device but not in my selected library?

    There is no way to delete songs from an iPod.
    Nothing will be touched on your iPod in regards to iTunes content with the first sync with iTunes on your new computer if you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer following the simple instructions included with the link provided. Certainly as a Windows user you maintain a backup for all important data which should include your iTunes library? Important regardless the platform but even more so with Windows due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns. Or do most Windows users start with a new computer from scratch without transferring any data from an old computer to a new computer due to constant virus, adware, and spyware concerns?
    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only from an iPod - really. As the largest distributor for music and as #1 by far in MP3 player sales, this is required by those who own the distribution rights for the music. Part of an effort to prevent or minimize stealing music by those who own the distribution rights.

    I'm not sure I understand the question, is the message tone going more then once?

    Some people have found this does not stop the repeat miessage tone,
    if you are one of those then I suggest you contact Apple:

  • How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

    I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    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 />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
