How do I set a new tab page so it isn't the ask home page but a blank page?

I can't find a way to get the home page back to normal.

Can't you change the home page setting permanently?
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to <b>ask.com</b> and reset related user set (bold) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • 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.<br />
    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"

  • When am opening new tab, iam getting some website instead of my home page ,how can I set my new tab page?

    Iwant to configure my new tab with google which is my home page,how can I do that,can any one give suggestion to me please?

    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.

    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    *NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    *My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/

  • How do I set my new tabs back to "untitled" rather than load Yahoo! search?

    I accidentally installed the Yahoo! search bar along with a DJ program. I was able to uninstall the search bar but a problem persists. Before having the Yahoo! search bar on my Firefox I was able to open a new tab and it was simply blank and labelled "Untitled. It required zero load time.
    Now even after uninstalling the Yahoo! search bar, when a new tab is opened it goes straight to a Yahoo! search website. This is incredibly annoying and can often take more time to load than opening an entirely new window for Firefox. How do I get back to "Untitled" blank tabs?

  • How do I set my new tabs to open onto my homepage?

    When opening a new tab, I would like it to open onto my selected homepage, instead of a blank page.

    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

  • How do I get a new tab to open? Clicking on the "Open A New Tab" (+) does nothing.

    I use to be able to open multiple tabs on Firefox by clicking the + (Open A New Tab). Now nothing happens when I click this button.

    Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' ('''''if you have it installed'''''). It can cause that problem.

  • How can I set up imessage on iPhone to send messages from the name of number but not e-mail.

    I can set up iMessage on Macbook to send from the name of number, but can't do it on my iPhone after upgrading to 6.1

    If your iPhone and iPad are both running iOS 6, and your iPhone successfully registered it's phone number in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, all you should have to do on your iPad is go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and sign in with the same Apple ID you are using on your phone. 
    If it is, and it still isn't working, try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in.

  • My home page is set to google & is always open, after i open new tabs to other web pages & then go back to the original home page tab it is frozen or if not frozen you try to do a search & it displays nothing (blank page white background)

    If the above problem occurs I can open a new home(ie google) in a new tab & it works every time.
    When original home page isnt frozen & will let you do a google search but displays blank you cannot return to the original page (ie using back button or home button).
    When the page is frozen you can do nothing with it.

  • How do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page

    how do I set a new account as default in safari when I send emails from a web page
    thanks in advance

    In the Composing pane of Mail's preferences window, look for the pop-up menu labeled "Send new messages from." Select the desired account there.
    Note, though, that this won't change the behavior when replying to a message... in that case, the reply will be sent from the account that received the message, unless you specify differently at that time.

  • How do I make all new tabs open with my home page?

    When I open a New Tab, it opens with a blank page.
    Is there any setting which will force each New Tab to open with my Home Page?

    New Tab in Home Page: You can modify Firefox with an extension, though I personally would not want that at all, before dismissing a tab I make sure there is nothing in the tab in a backward direction, and would consider looking at anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for.
    with the following:

  • How do I make a new tab open with my home page

    I would like new tabs to open to my home page. How do I do this?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:

    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • How do I make a new tab open all the say to the right, as it used to, instead of just to the LEFT of the last tab?

    I have 6 tabs set up and have become very accustomed to the position they’re in. When doing a specific task for my job, a 7th tab opens up. It has always opened all the way to the right. When I’m done reading the information it gives me, I just quickly “x” it out to return working. Yesterday I noticed that this 7th tab was not opening up all the way to the right. It was opening in the next-to-last position to the right. This might not seem like a problem, but when I go to close it, I’m so used to x-ing out the one to the far right, that I’ve been x-ing out a tab that I need.
    So the question: How can I get the new tab that opens to appear all the way on the right again? Again, this is not adding a new tab. If I add a new tab to search for something, it does open all the way to the right.
    == I rebooted my computer a few days ago...

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Filter = '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent'''
    Double-click that preference to change the value to '''''false'''''
