How to enable Firefox 'new tab' feature.

So I ended up downloading something and it changed my 'new tab' look. Before it was Firefox's feature of showing the thumbnails for my most visited sites and I had all of my school work shortcuts pinned on there and i want it back! I can only find advice on how to disable it but not to enable it or turn it back on. Please help. I want this feature back! Thanks in advance :(

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
please go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • I am using Firefox 3.6 on my PC , and now, when I select File New Tab (Ctrl+T), no new Tab shows up. Nor does it show up when I click the new Tab symbol next to my other tabs. How can I get the New Tab feature to work again?

    In the past 48 hrs, all of a sudden, the New Tab feature on my PC< using Firefox 3.56, simply stopped working. I did not change settings, or download a new version of Firefox. it just stopped working. There are other scenarios where it does still work (for example, if I want to open a link on a web page, I can right click and open the link in a new tab), but if I simply want to have multiple websites open at once on my PC, I am forced to have multiple versions of Firefox open, as my New Tab option seems to be disabled or something. Can you help?

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • How to set a New Tab as the start page in Firefox and lock in my choice of web sites

    You may set the New Tab page Firefox shows when opening a new tab as its start page, and you can lock in the web sites you want displayed there.
    I set my browser to open a New Tab as its start page and have locked in six destinations from which to choose on my start page.
    First I open Firefox and open a new tab. Then I delete any open tabs other than this New Tab. Optionally, I can also set a second tab to open to a specific web site
    Next I go to Tools and Options (or Edit and Preferences in Linux) and select the General tab on the far left. Click on
    [Use Current Pages].
    Each time I open Firefox it will open showing me the New Tab.
    I can select from pages that I have already visited the six pages I want to have appearing on my New Tab every time. Supposing there are no pages locked in yet, and I don't want the site in the top left. I hit the X in its thumbnail's top right corner, it disappears and every other site thumbnail moves up and there is a new site appearing in the sixth slot. Note that if I have visited one page frequently, it may appear more than once, or be replaced by itself. If that happens, just keep deleting until the page you want shows up.
    If I find a site that I want to save, then there is a thumbtack in the top left corner of the thumbnail. It is black, but if I click it it turns blue, and the thumbnail is a keeper.
    This web site is in the second row, second over, but I want it to be up on the top row. Just drag and drop and the two sites exchange places. Make sure it has a blue thumbtack. The lock-down thumbtacks and delete X symbols appear in the top left and top right, respectively while the mouse is hovering over them.
    It is possible to delete a saved site, and it is possible to undo the thumbtack. Simply click the X to delete or click the blue thumbtack to unlock the site and turn the thumbtack black.
    You may choose to tack down a few sites and let the remainder float in and out, driven by your browsing history.
    Through my use of this approach, I have instant access to my club's web site, two Webmail sites, and some other often-visited places on the Web, all in one start page.
    About the only thing I really don't need there is a Google search box, for if I enter my search terms in the address bar I get the same result as if I had specifically typed in the search box.
    Some add-ons, often potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), will replace the Firefox about:newtab (address of the New Tab) with eBay, Facebook, Twitter icons among others, and a different search engine. These icons may have a nicer appearance than the default Firefox New Tab, but you may also be looking at extra, unnecessary work for the computer, especially if behind the pretty icons there is a hidden agenda.
    Personally, I would stay clear of these add-ons, and perform some scanning with an up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software.

    If this is not a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in that tab.
    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 or otherwise make changes.

  • How to I get new tabs to open to the correct home page?

    When I open new tabs they just go to a Google Search page, which is very frustrating, especially when I open a new tab and try to type in the URL bar but as soon as it finishes loading Google it blanks out what I typed in and goes to the Google site. In other words, "blank" new tabs do not open to the Favorites page or even my home page. They open to Google. How do I change that? In other words, how do I get new tabs to stop opening to Google and start opening to either my home page or the Favorites screen? Thanks!

    You can modify the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set it to the desired page to open.

  • 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.

  • When I click on New Tab a new tab will not open, new window does open, how do I open new Tab? used to work

    New Tab feature no longer works, only new window

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How do I stop new tabs from opening - all I want is one window that I can click back and forth on the page history

    I do not want multiple windows or multiple tabs. In older Firefox versions just one window could be set, using the page history to go backwards or forwards. How do you disable new tabs or new windows from automatically opening in firefox 7?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Open a New Tab feature is not working

    The Open a New Tab feature (the plus on the tabs toolbar) is not working

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • How to create a new tab in CRMD_ORDER for custom fields

    Hi Expert,
    I have added custom fields in crmd_customer_ i through EEWB .
    Now i want to display the fields in a new tab in CRMD_ORDER.
    can you please guide me how to create a new Tab step by step procedure.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Avi

    Dear Avi,
    please be aware that crmd_order is no longer supported since crm2007 (6.00). That means EEWB is not the right tool to add customer fields because only WEBUI is supported. There you can use the AET tool to create own fields or tables via configuration.
    However please see note 1037748 where you get more information and help.
