How to make the new tabs to open the same URL as the startup page?

Hello!
I was wondering if it's possible to configure the Firefox in such a way that the new tabs open exactly the same URL that is typed in the Options. I tried to set browser.newtab.url to about:home but it gives me Firefox Google custom page instead of the startup page that I've set in the Options. Another way I tried is to set the browser.newtab.url value in about:config to the same URL as the startup page URL, but then if I change the URL in the options the new tab URL is not changed. So the question is whether it's possible to make the Firefox read the URL that is used for the startup page and go there when opening a new tab.

You can use a addon or about:config
<h2>Addon</h2>
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/‎
<h2>About:config</h2>
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Enter '''browser.newtab.url''', double click the result.
# A new window should now show, enter your homepage url in the box, then hit ok.
# Open a new tab, does it work.
If prefs arent saved you need to read the [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] article.

How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?

The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
*browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
*browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

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).

In FF 7.0.1, the New Tab button on the Tab Strip disappeared after clicking the Tab Group icon and trying to return, so I'm looking for advice on how to get the New Tab to reappear on the Tab Strip.

In Windows Vista, FF 7.0.1, I selected the Tab Group button to try it out. However, when I selected the Tab Group button again to close that view, the New Tab button in the Tab Strip no longer appears. I'm requesting help to restore the New Tab button (has the "+" sign on it) on the Tab Strip just to the right of the currently open tabs.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

I have tab mix plus and i have set the new tab to open my home page, no matter what i do I can't get the new tab of firefox to show up.

I can't get the new feature of firefox 13 of the new tab.

Find '''browser.newtab.url''' and double click on it (or right-click and select modify) and type your homepage you want, to open a new tab in your homepage.
thank you

How do I set the new tab to open my homepage?

If I press a new tab, it opens a whole selection of windows of recently browsed stuff, whereas I just want my search page repeated.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

How do I set the new tab to show recently viewed sites

I used to be able to open a new tab and see all the recently viewed sites and bookmarks. How do I set this?

The Google Toolbar also has such a feature.<br />

How to set default new tab behaviour

I dare say I could have found the answer to this by trawling the web as it seems to be a problem that has been going on since the invention of tabbed browsing in firefox version 2. I just thought i'd go to the trouble of registering and re iterating it one more time to vent my frustration.
You'd think that setting what page (if any) to use when you open a new tab would be the easiest thing in the world! - like the first thing you see when you go to settings - second only to the homepage to use when you start firefox . But no , Mozilla seem to have made this simple issue into one of the most difficult problems your average user is likely to come across!
I cant even see why it is not just "the home page". If the homepage opens with a new window - whats the difference if its a new tab? This is a non problem that mozilla have invented! "avoidable" dosent even cover it - this has required a lot of extra coding to create this problem!
This has probably come up a lot more recently with some new feature of AVG barging in in hijacking this setting. I found question 983923 on this site addressing this issue for that reason.
The 'chosen solution' ? REINSTALL FIREFOX !!! (and thats with manual cleanup too)
Unbelievable! thats only one stop short of "wipe the pc and reinstall windows" for chris's sake.
Presumably the victim chose this because more sensible methods have failed - as they have for me.
other "solutions" i have seen suggested while researching this insurmountable problem are :
- Go to about:config page, search for "browser.newtab.url" change its value to "about:newtab"
- create a "new profile" whatever that is! surely they dont mean windows profile?
- use the addon that someone has created to fix this pointless glaring issuer that mozilla havent
- start in safe mode to see if an extension is causing the issue.
well I'm going to take a break now from flogging this dead horse and see if I can do something more productive with my time. This has got to be one of the stupidest problems I have encountered with a computer, and I have been working in IT (in this exact area 'user / desktop') for nearly 20 years.

thanks for that, the "reset preferences" option returned it to displaying recent windows on a new tab, which is close enough!

How to set the "Podcast Website" URL?

I am referring to the link that appears in the bottom left corner of itunes:
It currently links to our beta website, which is still under construction, but I want it to link to our live website. In a month or so, we'll be ready to link to the new site, but not yet!
Here's the podcast link for reference: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/dharma-ocean/id587166784?mt=2
Any ideas on how I can set this link? Thanks in advance!

Please always post the feed URL when you have a question as well as the iTunes Store URL. For reference, your feed is at
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dharmaocean
The website link is carried in the 'link' tag. You have created your feed in WordPress and Blubrry PowerPress and one or other must provide a field where you can enter the URL: it's there that you will need to change it.

Firefox using much CPU; how to find the offending tab/URL?

My Firefox 32 .0 is using lots of CPU, and it frequently goes into "not responding" state. I restarted in safe mode, and the same condition happened. Is there any way for me to determine what tab(s)/URL(s) are causing the problem? I really do not want to start closing each of my many tabs and windows one-by-one to see which one(s) might be causing the problem. I am running Windows 7 Professional 32-bit. Thanks.

I run MSE as my basic anti-malware. I also run WebRoot Security Anyware (WRSA) and Spyiit Search & Destroy. None of them has found any malware. Yesterday I ran MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (MBAM), and it did not find anything. I ran RogueKiller, but before it finished and gave me results, it told me that there was a new version available. I downloaded it and it caused a BSOD when I started it. That was the BSOD before I watched "60 Minutes" last night. I tried it again, and the second BSOD "allowed" me to do the debugging I did last night.
I do not want to disable flash, as the weather.gov radar image I have open needs flash to display the radar loop images.
