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 can i get a new tab to open on my homepage

    i wish my new tabs to open on my homepage.
    How do i set this up please?

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777

  • How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

  • How do I set the new tab to open my homepage?

    If I press a new tab, it opens a whole selection of windows of recently browsed stuff, whereas I just want my search page repeated.

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

  • How can I get my new tabs to open to my homepage?

    When I open a new tab, I want the tab to open straight to my set homepage. For example, my homepage is set to Yahoo.com, so when I open a new tab, how can I make it so that tab will open right to Yahoo.com?

    Not an efficient way of using Firefox, in my opinion. There used to be a configuration option to do that but that no longer works, but either of these two extensions will do that.

    What I think would be better is to only open your home page when Firefox first opens. To open a Yahoo page later, use a keyword shortcut -- see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]

    when opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?

    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 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 get my new tab to open to google search?

    My page used to open to avg secure search for new tabs. I figured out how to disable it but now cannot figure out how to set it so that my new tabs open to a google search.
    Thanks

    Actually it does.
    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that wasn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior and you probably did disable that extension.
    You need another extension if you want a new tab to open with a specific page.
    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/
    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.

    cheers,

    What page is opening? The default 9-thumbnail page? Some other page?
    Extensions can override your selections for new tab, home page, and search provider. Try reviewing and disabling nonessential, recently installed, or unrecognized extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

  • How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

    Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
    Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?

    The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
    If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
    You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
    *browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
    *browser.newtabpage.rows (3)
