How to set new tab to my home pagein Firefox 18

I would like my new tabs to open in google or my home page which has google on it, rather than the 9 little boxes. Is there a way to make my home page open in a new tab? Is there a way to have google search open in a new tab?

hello hildegard, yes this is possible - enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''www.google.com''' (or any other address you want to show up when you open a new tab).

  • How to set new tabs to home page when opened

    I have no problem setting up my home page, but new tabs open as blank pages. How do I set up Firefox to open new tabs to my home page, when I manually open a new tab?

    "Donations" to add-on developers are not required. Add-on developers do appreciate donations from users since they devote their time and efforts '''''free of charge''''' to develop the add-on(s).

    Tab Mix Plus is a great add-on, I use it and like it, but it is a bit "heavy"/large to install for just that one function. Tab Mix Plus performs many functions related to tabs and has many, many options that you can set related to tabs, including the one that your requested.
    <u>An add-on that is much smaller and is designed to perform that one function</u>, opening a tab with the page you specify, is New TabURL:
    *New TabURL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    *After installation and restarting Firefox
    *#Open the options (Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL)
    *#Set your options and/or enter the URL you want to open in new tabs
    *#Click "Save"

  • 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.

  • I need to know how to set new tabs to open on my Google homepage instead of opening a blank tab.

    I had this feature set before when I was using Firefox 3.6. Now I have FF4 and I can't find an option anywhere to set my tabs so that a new tab opens on Google instead of opening a blank page. I may just be overlooking it, but I can't fin an answer to this through search feature in help on Mozilla. Anyone got an answer for me?

    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 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'''
    * https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes#w_the-problem-does-not-occur-in-safe-mode

    I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • 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.

  • Firefox start page opens up as new tab whenever my home page opens

    I've changed the default home page to another website.
    Whenever Firefox starts up, two tabs will open ie. my homepage and Firefox start page. While browsing on any tab, if I click ALT+HOME to go to homepage, a new tab opens again for the firefox start page.
    Why is this happening? It didn't happen with older firefox browser versions.

    I have the same issue and figured it out. When you (and I) set our home pages, the Firefox start page was open also. Firefox takes every tab you have open when you set your home page. So close all but 1 tab and go to your desired home page and set it through the Tools>options>General tab. That fixed it for me.

    Could anybody help me in this regards
    Thank you
    suribabu

    In Equipment category creation config in IMG, check for the View Profile for both the equipment category S & K.
    For adding new tab, follow the IMG path.
    PM & CS => Master data => Technical Objects => General Data => Set view profiles for Technical objects
    Select the View profile which has been assigned to your equipment category & click Activity & layouts of views. In that screen, under seq.no, select the Partners.
    Do the same for other requried tabs based on your requirement.
    If there are same profile assigned to both equipment category, go to equipment creation creation => Edit => view selection. There you will find the required tabs.

    You may also try the exits available with the MIGO transaction. To find exits you can use the fillowing code by giving tranasaction code as input.

  • Why cant I find an add-on to open a new tab in my home page on Firefox 5?

    I have been able to open a new tab in my home page (Google in my case) in all of the other versions of Firefox. I am a loyal user but this is frustrating. I cannot locate an add-on for this feature. Is there something out there?

    You can use one of the following IF you also install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, below (the developers need to update one line of their code to make them compatible with Firefox 5).
