I can't remove Conduit from my new tab page, when I reset browser.newtab.url it doesn't remove it or do anything.

I've already went to about:config and browser.newtab.url but when I try to reset it or Modify it, nothing happens, the words become unbolded and the reset text greys out but other than that this conduit.com thing stays there. I want to get the original new tab I had with my site pinned ect.

You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if anything from Conduit or any other suspicious software like Search Protect shows up.
*Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program
*Click the Installed column to sort by this heading
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • New Tab Page not showing thumbnails; browser.newtab.url reset is greyed out. What is my next step?

    I have read this thread: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/934935 but the solution this user found apparently isn't available to me.
    I cleared my cache and cookies the other day, and now my New Tab Page isn't populating with new thumbnails. I do have one thumbnail, a page I pinned, but all of the others haven't come back. I went into about:config and found browser.newtab.url, but the 'reset' option was greyed out. I haven't been able to find out what the next step is to restore my thumbnails; am hoping someone here can help. Thanks!

    I do still see empty tiles on the about:newtab page - I have the one pinned page, from before I cleared my cache, and then 8 empty tabs. The disk cache contains information up until just a few minutes ago so yep, appears to be working fine.

  • How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages, How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages

    I struggle to believe that I am the only person experiencing this problem.
    I just hope somebody has the decency to spend a couple of minutes replying with a resolution.
    Every time I click the + sign on my iPad, Safari to open a new tab page..
    I am greeted by loads of icons / boxes that are links to my bookmarks.
    I want to delete those icons / boxes from the page
    If I want to visit one of my bookmarks I use the bookmark icon at the top right of the page.
    If I long press on the icons they do not wobble / delete
    How can I delete them ?
    I dislike them so much I am beginning to think that I will have to stop using safari,
    and use a different search engine.....but I shouldn't have to.

    If you don't want to see these bookmarks when you open a new tab and you don't want to delete them you'll need to move them. Now as you probably know there isn't really a move function for Bookmarks in iPad, so what I'd recommend is Tap Bookmarks>Favourites tap one of the bookmarks in this folder and when it loads up save it to another location on your iPad - repeat for all bookmarks in this folder, once done tap Bookmarks>Favourites select EDIT and delete all bookmarks in the favourites folder.
    You need to bear in mind that FAVOURITES is simply a folder storage area for Bookmarks so any bookmarks you delete from this folder won't be available under Bookmarks unless you follow the process outlined above.

  • I have some unfinished projects in an old iMovie format. How can I finish them using the new iMovie? When I open them it says it doesn't support powerPC format

    I have some unfinished project in an old iMovie format. If I try to import them to the new iMovie to finish them it says I can't because it does not support powerPC formats. How can I save them???

    Right click on the icon and choose "Show Package Contents".
    Drill down through the folders to find your original source clips (probably .dv files). Drag them to a new Desktop folder to import them into iMovie.

  • Is it possible to have the new tab page appear by default when Firefox starts?

    Can Firefox be set to display the new tab page when starting the browser? In Options > General, the only choices under "When Firefox starts" is show the home page, a blank tab, or restore previous session.
    Alternately, can the new tab page be set as the home page?

    You can add "about:newtab" to the Firefox shortcut on the desktop.

  • How to use about:config to REMOVE Delta Search from my new tab

    I am desperate to remove Delta Search from my new tab page. What do I do after I open about:config? I have done at least a dozen resets, have removed DS via add/remove, am running a virus scan at present...this is TERRIBLE, and there HAS to be a way to get rid of it. When I do a reset, the new tab page is what I WANT...my previously saved pages. However, when I CLOSE FF and reopen, the new page is, once again, Delta. Can you hear me SCREAM? Can you see my TEARS? I am really fed up. Thanks for getting back to me with a solution that WORKS. jo

    Why should we have to do this? I ticked the box that said I didn't want to install it. You, Delta Search, are a bunch of troublesome low lifes.

  • 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)

  • New tab page was fine for MONTHS, had an image I uploaded. Today, I got a 'safe' mode whatever, and my image is gone. How do I restore it, so my image comes up?

    I had set up my new tab page with an image I uploaded. It worked fine for months, if not years.
    Today, I got a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in 'safe' mode or 'restore'. I chose 'restore'.
    Thereupon, my image was gone from my new tab page. I cannot find how to restore it, and add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not helpful. At least, I cannot figure them out.
    Can you provide help on a computer for dummies level?

    Sounds that you have reset Firefox and created a new profile.
    You can try to create a new profile or reset Firefox.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems
    When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile
    You can try to restore the prefs.js file and copy this file from the "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop shortcut to the current Firefox program folder.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

  • Setting new tab page

    For some reason now whenever i open a new tab, instead of bringing me to the default mozzila one it brings me to a trovi search site, the same page poped up for my home page but i could fix that, any help

    Hello,
    Please see:
    * http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/
    If you find your new tab page is still set to trovi, you can change that in your Firefox configuration. In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
    # 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.
    # Search for '''browser.newtab.url''' and modify (by double clicking the row or right clicking and select Modify) the preference so that the value is '''about:newtab''', or a site of your choice.

  • When changing "browser.newtab.url" is there any way to prevent the address bar from getting focus?

    When I change "browser.newtab.url" to about:home and open a new tab, focus is set to the address bar not the search box on the firefox home page. The same thing happens if i change the url to google.com or another search engine. Is there any way to prevent this from happening.

    Custom new Tab has a small bug if the start page is exactly the same as the new tab page. Then the focus of the start page is on the address bar. Just leave the "www." out in the startpage and use "www." in the new tab page then it works perfectly. e.g.
    Startpage: google.com
    new Tab page : www.google.com
    Now the focus of the start page is on the search box.

  • When opening a new tab, IE9 opens a blank page, not the new tab page

    I change my settings to open a the new tab page when I open a new tab. This works for one boot of Windows. Second boot, the settings have magically changed back to opening a blank page.
    It worked to start with. I only just reinstalled Windows on this computer. Then a few days ago I didn't get my most recent sites when I opened a tab. Changed the settings. Next boot. They had reset.
    It seems as if the settings do not save. I had this problem on my older computer as well. Never found a fix.
    To clear up misunderstandings (there are some similar posts), when I select a link to open in a new tab, it always works.

    Hi ,
    In order to clarify the issue clearly, I would like to ask the following questions:
    Did you make the steps below to set “When a new tab is opened” to open your first home page?
    Open a new tab to your home page in Internet Explorer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-a-new-tab-to-your-home-page-in-Internet-Explorer
    Will the home page change back after the second boot?
    Is this setting able to be saved?
    Is this your home pc?
    What’s the operation system?
    Generally, this issue  will not persist after reinstalling the Windows.
    I would recommend you to perform the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:
    1. Temporarily disable all the third party security programs and boot in
    Clean Boot to test the issue.
    2. I would suggest you to optimizing the internet explorer for better performance and check if it helps.
    How to optimize Internet Explorer (Also applicable for IE 9)
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936213/ro
    Note: Resetting Internet Explorer’s settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot
    be recovered.

  • No blank thumbnails on new tab page

    Page is completely blank.

    Does it help if you open the about:newtab page directly?
    Are there any (empty) slots on the about:newtab page?
    If the page is blank and there is a (possibly faint) grid icon in the top right corner then click that icon in case the new tab page is hidden (pref browser.newtabpage.enabled = true).
    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.
