I can't get rid of "bing" from opening in new tabs. How can I get a blank page to open as in the past?

Up until yesterday, I could open a new tab with a blank page. Now, every new tab opens to a bing search page and focus is in the search box. Very annoying when I begin to type a URL and have to click in the URL to continue typing. How do I get back to a blank page opening?

Thanks. You did have to go through another step-"Extensions", to find the Icon for the StartNow Toolbar with Bing involved.
Yep tried it and it got rid of Bing!! Happy Happy

  • You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

    When opening a new tab, how can I specify a site, homepage or empty? My new tabs open to a site I don't want to see.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.

  • When opening a new tab how can i get the yahoo search engine off of the new tab to where its just a blank tab ?

    When opening a new tab it automatically loads the yahoo search engine in the new tab. It use to just open a blank tab..how do I remove the Yahoo search engine from loading in a new tab ?

    To make it a blank page again go to:
    Tools and then click on add-ons
    Then scroll down and disable "My.Freeze.com Net Assistant"
    This should fix your problem :)

  • When I open a new tab how can I get firefox to display my homepage instead of a blank page?

    I know how to set my homepage for when opening firefox, but I can't find how to make newly opened tabs automatically load my homepage. Can this be done? Seems like opening a new tab only allows a blank page to load.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    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

  • I updated to Firefox 3.6.13 and now have no Web page previews/thumbnails when I open a new tab - how do I get them back?

    Whenever I opened a new tab with older versions of Firefox 3.6.n, I would see thumbnails of some of the pages I'd visited before. I love this feature, but I do not know how to restore it after downloading and installing FF 3.6.13. What do I need to do to get this feature back? Is there a possible conflict with another add-on or toolbar? I have these toolbars: Google, The Free Dictionary, and Amazon.com. (The plug-ins you can see below.) Incidentally, the Firefox version displayed in the "educated guesses" section is not correct: it shows 3.0.11 and using the Help menu and choosing About Mozilla Firefox, it displays 3.6.13.

    Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/?hl=en] <br />
    Or visit the Google Toolbar forum. <br />
    [http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Toolbar?hl=en]
    As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this: <br />

  • All my tiles are gone when I open a new tab, how do I get them back?

    This is hopeless. Suddenly, all my frequently used tiles are gone from the "new tab"-page.
    And they do not restore, even if I visit the same pages.
    The new tab-page are just full of empty squares.
    How do I get them back?
    I tried to follow the instructions on how to get new tiles in, but the buttons that I'm supposedly to use are not present.
    Thanks so much for replying. This is driving me crazy!

    Yes, I can drag a history item or bookmark to a tile, and several will appear in tiles. BUT, they disappear again as soon as I open a new tab.
    Settings are set to "Remember history".

  • I accidentally changed my settings so another website is opened when I open a new tab; how do I get it back to the default quick links on a new tab?

    The site that is shown is Ask.com, and it changed because when I downloaded iLivid installer I didn't uncheck the boxes that asked me if I wanted to make this change.

    I'll list out the steps, but please note that any Ask-related extensions still in Firefox can override your preference, so you might want to check for and either disable or remove any such extension here first:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Here is how you can set/reset what appears on a new tab:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) <u>To get the page thumbnails</u>, right-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and choose Reset
    (4) <u>For other choices</u>, double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Blank tab''
    about:blank
    ''(ii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    about:home
    ''(iii) Any other page''
    full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • When opening a new tab, how can I change the page that is initially displayed?

    When I open a new tab, the page that is initially displayed is one that provides a simple Bing! search. What can I do to make the initial display one of my own choosing?

    Select Firefox (Top left) / Options/ Options / Main or General.
    There you can select the thing you whant firefox to do when it is started up. If you would like it to open www.google.com for instance, you have to paste that url (= www.google.com) into the space below.
    That's it!

  • When opening a new tab how can I show previoius history in the window?

    When opening a new tab, can I show the previous history in the new window?

    You can try middle-clicking (scroll wheel) the Back button which will open a new tab with the same History.

  • When opening a new tab, how can you make the cursor automatically go to the address bar?

    In my previous version of firefox, the cursor would go directly to the address bar when I opened a new tab. Thus, I could start typing the web address I wanted to go to immediately. However I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and I now have to manually click in the address bar. Is there any way to change this in settings or by installing a specific add-on?
    Thanks!

    You only get the cursor in the search bar if you open the built-in about:home page.<br />
    For other websites you need an extension.
    *Custom New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/

  • When I open a new tab, how can I get the curson to be on the URL line instead of in a search engine box?

    When I open a new tab I almost always I know the URL of where I want to go. Therefore I do not want my cursor to be placed in the box of a search engine upon opening the new tab. I want it to be on the address line.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
