How do I remove start.sweetpacks when I open another tab

I found the answer:
Sweetpacks New Tab for FireFox
1. In the address bar, type 'about:config' and then click Enter.
2. You will be notified that you are about to change your settings. Click 'I'll be careful, I promise!'
3. You will see a Search field, type ‘newtab' and then click 'browser.newtab.url'.
4. In the box that will be opened, enter the URL that you want to open in the new tab page instead of Sweetpacks and then click OK.

When I open another tab I get the wheel of death for 1-2 minutes and I often have to force quit FF. Mac OS X 10.6.8/ FF 7.0.1

I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 using FF 7.0.1. When I open another tab I get the wheel of death for 1-2 minutes and I often have to force quit FF. I saw this question asked but no real answer given as to why this has been happening in the last three weeks after I've used FF for years and not had this problem before. Please give some help or I'll have to use Safari full time.

Delete and reinstall it.

When I open a new tab and type in the website url, after the website loads the website url disappears. In order for me to get it to come back, I have to right click on the navigation bar and click undo. why is this?

Did this happen immediately after the reset or at a later time?
Does this only happen on a new tab?
What is the current setting for the new tab page as set via the browser.newtab.url pref?
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar.

When I open another tab and hit the home button on the tool bar the google page will not load completely. and when I type in a search it wont work. I have to use the yahoo adress bar at the top to search. How do I fix this

I have tried closing it and reloading and it still wont work.

Why does Brand Thunder open as a search engine when I open another tab

I want firefox as my search engine. Ifthis is not possible google it is

There are two ways a page can take over the "new tab" page:
(1) Changing the new tab page setting in Firefox (e.g., by creating a user.js file that overrides your preference every time you start Firefox);
(2) Using an extension to override your new tab page setting.
Let's check those:
'''Clean up Extensions'''
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the following page. If in doubt, disable:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
If a link appears above a disabled extension to restart Firefox, you can do that as the last step after completing your review of the list.
'''Update New Tab Setting'''
(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:
* ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''(ii) Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''(iv) Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
'''Check for and remove a user.js file'''
To prevent your change from being reverted the next time you start Firefox, check for this files in your Firefox settings folder (also known as your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
That should do it!

Stop firefox from pausing a tab when going to another tab or window

I am running firefox v5.0 and I have noticed that ever since v4 when I open another tab, the other tabs are paused and when I have an upload (ie: a video to youtube) going in another tab and I want to browse the internet using a new tab/window, it is stopped. I tried looking through about:config but I couldnt find any thing to disable firefox from pausing tabs.

I uninstalled Viewpoint Media Player, which fixed my problem with the plugincheck tab always opening. Viewpoint Media Player is responsible for the plugin called "MetaStream 3 Plugin r4", and I believe this plugin is triggering Firefox to open the plugincheck page. It is not enough to disable the plugin, it must be uninstalled.
Since it seems you don't have the "MetaStream 3 Plugin", it may be that some other plugin is causing the plugincheck tab to pop open. Try going to Tools (menu) -> Add-ons -> Plugins. Look through the list of plugins, and see if any of them have a red warning icon next to them. If one of the plugins has a red warning icon, it may be the plugin responsible for triggering the opening of the tab. Try uninstalling that plugin, or updating it to a newer version.

How do I remove the hover when I run the click of a second button?

Good Morning,
I found half the solution to my problem, that is, the part about the hover state to click on the button:
1) I converted my Button in ToggleButton
2) I have added this Style based Triggers:
<Style TargetType="ToggleButton" x:Key="checkedToggle">
<Style.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsChecked" Value="True">
<Setter Property="Background" Value="#5fc3f3"/>
</Trigger>
</Style.Triggers>
</Style>
To click the button keeps the "hover", the second click will remove.
Now the other problem: how do I remove the hover when I run the click of a second button?
Thank You.

>>Now the other problem: how do I remove the hover when I run the click of a second button?
You simply set the IsChecked property of the first button to false when the second button is clicked:
<ToggleButton x:Name="firstButton" IsChecked="True" Style="{StaticResource checkedToggle}">...</ToggleButton>
<ToggleButton Checked="ToggleButton_Checked" Unchecked="ToggleButton_Unchecked">...</ToggleButton>
private void ToggleButton_Checked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
firstButton.IsChecked = false;
private void ToggleButton_Unchecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
firstButton.IsChecked = false;

In windows 7, how to make firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer

In Windows 7, how to make Firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I am asking how to do this with Windows 7, not xp, not vista.

You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />

How can I remove unread messages when I know I don't have any?

How can I remove "unread messages" when I know I do not have any?

Hit the num lock button again. Num lock forces only the numeric keypad underlying keys to work as a numeric keypad, and the rest of the keyboard won't work. Unfortunately Apple stopped including the numeric keypad hidden keyboard key labels on its keyboards. They used to include them. They are known as mouse keys: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/cdb_moskys.html

When I open new tabs it is an AOL tab. I have Fire F as my homepage? How do I change this?

I set my home page to mozilla or yahoo, but when I open new tabs it keeps bringing up AOL search engine. I don't want this b/c it is useless and always brings up irrelevant search results. How do I change what tabs open up after homepage is set?

You should just be able to choose whatever search engine you prefer
* [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
There is however a possibility you may have some toolbar or other software installed that is changing setting. Initially look in your Firefox addons and Windows control panel for unwanted software
* [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?

Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.

How can I modify a document when it opens in Preview

when in preview, go to the "Tools" area, you will get a slew of things you can do with your documents in Preview.
I usually hit ctrl+cmd+O
that's the letter "oh" not the number "zero"
the tools sort of appear and then I can choose what I want to do.
