How to disable "about:newtab" text in address bar of each new tab Firefox 13

Many of us have habit of opening a new tab & start writing web address/search query in address bar
with Firefox 13 if I open new tab and just try to search firefox
following appears in address bar
about:newtabfirefox
(about:newtab is already written in new tab addressbar)

Resolved
Thanks
Although "about:blank" is present in address bar but it is selected, if I type anything it get over-righted - :)
please make "about:newtab" selected as "about:blank" in newer versions of Firefox

  • How to use about:config to REMOVE Delta Search from my new tab

    I am desperate to remove Delta Search from my new tab page. What do I do after I open about:config? I have done at least a dozen resets, have removed DS via add/remove, am running a virus scan at present...this is TERRIBLE, and there HAS to be a way to get rid of it. When I do a reset, the new tab page is what I WANT...my previously saved pages. However, when I CLOSE FF and reopen, the new page is, once again, Delta. Can you hear me SCREAM? Can you see my TEARS? I am really fed up. Thanks for getting back to me with a solution that WORKS. jo

    Why should we have to do this? I ticked the box that said I didn't want to install it. You, Delta Search, are a bunch of troublesome low lifes.

  • No cursor in address bar after opening new tab

    Hi,
    after installing FF 29.0.1, when I open a new tab the cursor isn't focused on the address bar, or anything else for that matter.
    If I run FF in safe mode it works and the focus is on the address bar. If I disable all my extensions manually and start FF in normal mode it doesn't work.
    I looked at that thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/972359 already, but that didn't help much.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Cheers

    Thanks for answering.
    Just tried it now and unfortunately it didn't help. Disabled both, but still no cursor in the address bar after opening a new tab.
    I won't be around my computer for a few days, so it'll take me some time to respond.

  • How to disable dragging selected text to web search?

    How to disable dragging selected text to web search?

    Hmm, I haven't heard of that before. It's a new tab page with no relation to what you were dragging?
    I wonder whether this might be a feature of one of your extensions. You can review them, and disable/remove any that are nonessential or unrecognized, here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If you disable extensions, usually a link will appear above at least one of them to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    If that makes no difference, you could test in Firefox's Safe Mode -- that's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

  • How to getred plug in icon in address bar

    Can not get javascript plugin in firefox. Instructions say , select options- content tab-mark 'enable javascrit check box' no such box appears under my content tab. A little further down on the same page it says 'javascript enabled in your browser'.
    Have not got red plug in icon in my address bar, how do I get it?. this would be the simplest way for me to enable/disable javascript.
    Main reason is that I can not enlarge photos in eBay.

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to toggle JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
    However, the option to toggle JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
    '''about:config'''
    # In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
    # Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
    # In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
    # Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now enabled.
    To Re-disable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
    '''Add-ons'''
    You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you toggle JavaScript on the fly, such as
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar?

    How to stop multiple auto-switching to address bar every time I open a new tab and try to type something anywhere outside of address bar? Like something just wants me to use that embedded search when u type something not-web-address in address bar and hit enter. And the most ridiculous thing is that it happens repeatedly on like every second, like I just move down from address bar and start typing again, but then again it switches me to address bar, and 3, 4 times like that. And the result is also that I can't see the address of that page.
    I think its has something to do with my AVG antivirus, because this started the same time some AVG Nation started to appear in every new tab i open (and thats also irritating me, I read about it here on support.mozilla.org and it seems that the only solution is to completely reinstall Firefox, but I dont want to lose all my settings) but when i type something in address bar and hit enter it opens the search results in Google.
    Please try to help me, I like Firefox but I must switch to Chrome until I fix this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    First, please update to Firefox 32. 22 is no longer support nor is it secure. Then let us know if you still have this problem. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • My new tab page is missing and now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about. Help!!

    I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?

    See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Javascript openDoc not working. All I get is a new window with about:blank in the address bar.

    I have my resume posted in a website applitrack.com. I can upload PDFs. The PDF file shows up as a link and when I mouse over the link, the status bar shows javascript:openDoc('file', '18292'). When I click the link, I get a new window and "about:blank" in the address bar. This website works fine in IE (the PDF gets launched when I click the file link.
    I tried disabling and uninstalling AdBlock Plus and that didn't help.

    There have been reports of the PDF plugin not working correctly with Firefox 5.
    It may help to change the setting for PDFs here:

  • How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer

    How do you HYPERLINK a web page address to an EXCEL document in Firefox like is possible in Explorer?

    When you follow a hyperlink in Excel, usually it should open in your default browser. You shouldn't have to do anything special in Excel to create the link when Firefox is your default browser compared with IE. However, the Insert Hyperlink dialog might work differently. I think it might be able to automatically pre-populate a URL from IE, while in Firefox, you need to copy the URL from Firefox's address bar and paste it into the Insert Link dialog.

    You can't, except by creating a new iCloud account.  But you can create an @icloud.com email alias address to use that will receive email in your current inbox (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2622).  (Note: alias addresses cannot later be used to create a new iCloud account, nor can they be moved to another account or be reactivated should you ever delete them.)

  • On the left side of my address bar it is showing that firefox has blocked content that is insecure, whenevr I'm using facebook or any other apps related to it.

    Firefox is blocking content from almost all the websites.
    It is even showing that for this page.
    Every time I refresh the facebook page/ an app on the facebook this will appear.
    Previously it used to crash firefox, then I upgraded it but since then it is just keeping on blocking if the gray/ geen colored padlock is active on the left side of the address bar.
    So every time I get this error I have to refresh the page & again disable protection on the page.
    If the website is verified then is firefox blocking almost everything.

    Hello,
    I would recommend running the latest version, Firefox 25. Improvements are always being made based on user feedback.
    Starting in Firefox 23, if a secure page includes certain types of insecure content, Firefox blocks the insecure content and a shield icon will appear in the address bar. See this article for more information about the new mixed content blocker: [[How does content that isn't secure affect my safety?]]
    To temporarily allow the mixed content to be displayed:
    *Click the '''shield icon''' [[Image:Mixed Content Shield]] in the address bar and choose '''Disable Protection on This Page''' from the dropdown menu.
    [[Image:Fx23MixedContentBlocker]]
    To allow insecure content to be displayed in all secure pages, enter '''about:config''' in the address bar and double-click on this preference, to toggle it from true to false:
    '''security.mixed_content.block_active_content'''
    You can also use this add-on instead, to toggle the preference:
    *[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/toggle-mixed-active-content/ Toggle Mixed active content] add-on
    You may want to do this only for the current session, then reset the preference back to "true" and check back with the site to see whether it's been fixed, since this is a global setting that exposes you on all sites, not just the one you care about.
    Let us know if this helps!
