How to set homepage to open in new tabs

Since new Firefox 5, I have lost the add-on that sets my homepage (google) to open when I open a new tab. I really want this back. I have looked thru the add-on list and haven't found anything. Is there another way to do this?

You can modify Firefox with and extension, 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 the and would consider looking a anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for with the following:
*NewTabURL :: Add-ons for Firefox https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
I have three pages on my own on tabs
* Tabbed Browsing in Firefox http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tabs.htm
* Tabs configuration, extracted from About:config entries - MozillaZine Knowledge Base http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tabs_config.htm
* 001 Tab Capacity and other Tests http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/tab_capacity/001_with_underscore.htm
I also like to change the styling on tabs and other chrome aspects of Firefox
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dmcritchie Styles & Extensions] that I use, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User:Dmcritchie picture] (Red borders -- active tab, Blue borders -- tab has been read, Green borders -- tab has not been read, Magenta borders -- tab is being downloaded)

How to set homepage when opening new tab?

I've set Google as my home page. When opening a new tab, Google does not appear

Hi sion,
This is the default behavior of Firefox. There are lot of great add-ons that will let you customize the new tab page. Take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Customizing Firefox with add-ons]]. It will show you how to find and manage add-ons in Firefox.
Hopefully this helps!

How do i set firefox to open a new tab with a specified web page..?

Ive just installed firefox 5, and when i open a new tab, it open with a blank page. My previous version of firefox opened with my most visited pages as thumbnails. Can i revert to this setup, or can i set firefox 5 to open a new tab with a specified web page e.g google news...?

No this isnt the problem. I want it to open a new tab with Google Search page and not with the big showcase of all my other pages.

Set Firefox to open a new tab without selecting it from the context menu by two-finger tapping in Lion

In Snow Leopard, I had somehow set the two finger tap to open a new tab either from a link on a page or from my bookmarks bar, without having to select "Open a new tab" from the context menu. I recently upgraded to Lion and I can't remember how I set this feature-- or is it just not available anymore?

There is a plugin for this and you can configure it as shown in the attached screen to open all links from the web page in a new tab by just clicking on it and not having to follow the native steps

How am I supposed to open a new tab when the "+" icon has been removed?

The icon I used to use to open new tabs has disappeared since the last Firefox update. I cannot find a menu, button, icon or anything to open a new tab anymore. How am I supposed to open a tab?
p.s. If you want to change things people use regularly, make finding the new option intuitive for users. Users are not mind readers. If we can't see it, we can't find it.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
*View > Toolbars Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
*Right-click empty toolbar area
Open the Customize window and set which toolbar items to display.
*"3-bar" Firefox menu button > Customize
*check that "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize palette into the Customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*if missing items are in the Customize palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*if you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the Customize palette then click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup

How do I make JDeveloper open a new tab instead of a new window?

I am experiencing an annoyance where my JDeveloper opens a new Internet Explorer window every time I execute the program. I would much prefer that is opens a new tab in the window that I currently have open instead.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this minor flaw within JDeveloper any help would be appreciated. Surely I am not the only person that has grown to despise this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

This is a configuration in IE. It has nothing to do with jdev.

How do i set search to open in new tab?

When I do a "google search" I want it to open in a new tab...how do I set that?

Which search do you mean?
*searching via the location bar (pref: keyword.URL)
*search bar on the Navigation Toolbar
*search bar on the about:home page (pref: browser.search.defaultenginename)
*other search bar (e.g. added by extension)
For the search bar on the Navigation Toolbar you can set the Boolean pref browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page.
You can also middle-click the search button or menu entry or use Alt+Enter to open the results in a new tab.
For the Google website you can set that via the Google Search Settings page.

Homepage not opening only "new tab" button showing

To whom it may concern:
I noticed some problems with Firefox 18.0.1.
I closed the browser using the "exit" button(not a button but you know what I mean) and the next time I opened the browser instead of my "Home Page" being the first thing I see I instead see a tab with the words "New Tab" and a totally blank page ie white page. When I click on the "Create a new tab" button a new tab does open and my home page is on that tab but isn't on the very first tab.
Another problem is that my tabs are gone from my last session when I re-open the browser. Yes, I have it set up in options that Firefox is "supposed" to show my windows and tabs from my last session and that is NOT happening. I also tried closing the browser using the red "X" and still have the same results. Had I known this was going to be an issue I would have stayed with version 17!!!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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 get links to open in new tabs?

How do I make links open in a new tab rather than opening another browser? This also happens when I check gmail inbox or if I highlight something to "Search in Google". How do I get all this to open in the current active browser? I've checked the preferences and didn't see anything to fix this. Thanks in advance.

I use SafariStand for this. It has a preference "Open Target Link in New Tab" along other cool enhancements (and some unexplainable ones).
This is one of those Safari add-ons that uses SIMBL, so if you don't like the prospect of possibly having to update it manually in buried folders every time Safari makes a big change, you might not want to install it.

How to set Reader to open in new window

I have .pdf documents into which I have inserted links to other .pdf documents using pdfEdit995 (I am a 77-year-old recording monumental inscriptions, not very computer literate and not able to afford expensive applications !)
The links look like :-
[ /Rect [85 225 107 228]
/Border [ 0 0 0 ]
/Action /Launch /File (.\\Another Folder\\TARGET FILE.PDF)
/Subtype /Link
/ANN pdfmark
The links work fine, but open in the same window, which is annoying as it is then neccessry to re-open the original document before moving to the next link.
pdf995 support say that perhaps Adobe reader can be set to open in a new window, but I want this to be the default when I circulate my file to intersted people, so would prefer to modify the links.
Can anyone help with a smple solution ? (I also believe in Santa Claus !)

No part of this question appears to involve GoLive. You should be asking this in a pdf995 forum, or at the very least, an Acrobat/Reader forum here.

How do I set when I open a new tab with center click to open in at the back of my tabs list?

I want them to open at the end of the list.
thanks.

Set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

How to open a new tab with the same current directory in a terminal?

I use the following script to open a new terminal with the same pwd.
I'm wondering how to modify it to open a new tab with the same pwd.
#!/bin/sh
# Open a new terminal in the cwd
CWD=`pwd`
osascript<<END
set thePath to "$CWD"
set myPath to (POSIX file thePath as alias)
try
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script with command "cd \"" & thePath & "\""
end tell
end try
END

bit of a hack, but the make command doesn't seem to work for tabs in terminal. replace what's currently in the 'try' block with this code:
tell application "Terminal" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Terminal"
keystroke "t" using command down
end tell
end tell
tell application "Terminal"
do script "cd " & (quoted form of thePath) in last tab of window 1
end tell
