How do I set new tabs to BLANK? Why did you remove that choice from me?

FF 5.0
There use to be an option to set new tabs to blank.
How do I do that now that you removed the option.
I tried the obvious (?) of setting the new tab to "about:blank" and it still comes up with what ever search engine is paying you money.
I even tried an add on to set it to blank. That didn't work either.
Are we no longer allowed to have a clean, fast loading new page?

Firefox always Opens a New Tab in a Blank page. You must have some add-on installed that's making the new tab to not open as Blank.
-> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Exit'''
-> '''Start Firefox in Safe Mode''' (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click '''Continue in Safe Mode'''
Check if the New Tabs are now opening as Blank pages while you are in Firefox Safe Mode.
-> '''The problem does not occur in Safe Mode'''

Check and tell if its working.

  • I want to delete temporary internet files. Notice I did not say clear the cache. That does not work! How can I delete the temp files? Why did you take that feature away? VERY frustrating that you would do that!

    I search for how to delete temp int files and keep coming up with the "clear cache" crap. That is not what I searched for. Clear cache does NOT delete the temp files. Why would you take that feature away??

    The Windows temporary internet files folder isn't used directly by Firefox. Firefox uses its own cache folder and you can see its current usage on the about:cache page via the location bar.
    If anything does show up in the temporary internet files folder then it is likely caused by using MS plugins like the Windows Media Player or Silverlight. You need to clear that folder via IE or the control panel (internet settings).

  • When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

    When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home 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
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • How can I set New Tab Plus as my default tab?

    When I would open a new tab, New Tab Plus would come up, then I could select from my apps that I had added on there. Tonight we had a quick power outage (under 1 minute) while I was out and when I opened Mozilla (that part came up correctly) and clicked to open a new tab, New Tab Plus should have come up, but didn't. I'm not very computer literate, so I'm not sure how to get New Tab Plus to come up when I open a new tab. I even tried reinstalling but I can't remember how to have it as I had it before.

    I strongly suggest that you buy an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
    Some of them also have software that, if the UPS is out of juice, it
    will safely shut down the computer.

  • How do I set new tabs to be blank. Yahoo configured it to show their search engine (against my wishes).

    New tabs used to be blank - that's what I want.
    However, another user on this computer did a software download. I've removed all the software, but now on firefox, whenever a new tab is opened, it defaults to a yahoo search engine. If I can't get it blank again, I'd rather have the google page.

    This will be due to and add-on that was installed.
    # Open the Firefox add-ons manager (In the Tools menu select Add-ons)
    # In the Extensions panel look for net assistant, MyFreeze, freeze.com or simppull toolbar. If any are present click on them to select them, then click on Uninstall
    # Restart Firefox to complete the process
    If none of those are present, you need to check for other variations of this add-on. For details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • How do I set new tabs to open home page

    How do I set tabs to open my home page instead of a blank page?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hello Justin.
    You can simply middle-click the home button to open the home page in a new tab, or you can install one of the many extensions that let you tweak what the new tab opens. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122 Tab Mix Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] are two of them, although they have different focuses.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I set new tabs to open up with my home page?

    When I open up a new tab the screen says "You have opened up a new Tab"....Informative but not particularly helpful... Can I set it so the new tab opens up on the google home page?

    Thanks the-edmeister. Your solution worked a treat. I had a problem with the AVG toolbar overwriting this but once I turned the AVG search bar off it was perfect. Great job. Thanks

  • How can I set OWA to use Public by default and hide that section from OWA?

    I have an Exchange 2013 deployment that needs a customized OWA page.  I've already run Set-OwaVirtualDirectory "ex1\owa*" -LogonPagePublicPrivateSelectionEnabled $True to show the Public option.  I've also edited the logon.aspx
    file to set the checkbox to be unchecked by default.  My problem is I need to hide that entire line, I don't want users to see that section at all as if I never ran the above command.  When I was testing hiding it with <!-- --> it hid it but
    caused that piece to stop working as it went back to private.  Has anyone been able to accomplish this or can clue me in on how to do this?  Thank you in advance.
