I cannot find a way to set my home page as default when I open new tabs

open firefox 4 beta
select a home page through options menu
open a new tab
It is a blank page
Look for a way to have the new tab open with the home page as default.
In IE there is a checkbox to select the home page as default on new tabs
Using Win7 pro premium

Have recently updated firefox. Previously, opening a new tab, cursor would be in google's search field, as google was my home page; now when I open new tab, cursor appears in url bar; this is bugging me a lot. How do I fix this setting?

cursor in URL bar when opening new tab; setting for this?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Both ways to set homepage only work in the current session. Is there a third way to set the home page ?

Greetings,
On opening Firefox the Home Page is always;
http://www.searchqu.com/406
Whenever I change the home page either by the drag and drop or Tools / Options / General that home page is set for the session. But when I close Firefox and return the home page is back to searchqu.com. It might be useful one day but it is sufficiently annoying that I would be happy to black list the URL.
I come in an out of Firefox several times a day. The page I want is www.abc.net.au/news which gives responsible local and international news at a glance, not the colour of the panties Paris Hilton wasn't wearing last night.
Oh, I do miss Netscape. The moon light on a raging following sea. The only good sight of a fox is when you are up with the whippers in and you glimpse the brush going through the next hedge, "from a view to a kill in the morning".
Cheers,
WN.
Just did a search all folders with searchqu in the text. 8 entries in Documents & Settings. 11 in Program Files 10 of which are in iLivid Toolbar. To be honest I haven't found iLivid to be of much use and it does show up twice in Add Remove Programs, on its own and as Toolbar.
Perhaps if I remove those ?
Do I smell the rancid stench of a program that piggy-backs on another ?
Without wasting more time should I just blow iLivid away and see if that fixes it ? ( Carefully noting an address for iLivid so that I can express my displeasure. )

When I open new tabs, how do I set my tabs to open to the same web page every time?

I have my home page set, but I don't see an option to set what site my tabs open with. I did have a website opening in my tabs, but it wasn't a change I made. According to one of the help articles, an extension may have changed what site kept appearing in new tabs. Now, my tabs are back to the eight tiles, but I'd like to set them to a specific website. How do I make this change to my tabs?

You will have to open the about:config page and set the new tab page by changing the value of the browser.newtab.url pref via the right-click context menu as stated in the KB article.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

When am opening new tab, iam getting some website instead of my home page ,how can I set my new tab page?

Iwant to configure my new tab with google which is my home page,how can I do that,can any one give suggestion to me please?

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.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
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.
You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

why the hell there are adds every where now? it was not the case earlier? and why the hell every time i change the home page to be the default one, the min i restart Firefox it came again to the same silly page i don't know from where the hell it came from?!?!
it was a very pleasant experience to use Firefox, but not anymore, i like it even its heavy on the machine and stuck alot lately!!!
the crash reports NEVER managed to be sent i don't know why!!
come on guys, you can do better than that!

Hi ajag,
Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
*''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.

How can I set my preference so when I open new tabs only my home page shows?

When I open new tabs I have a blank page. I would like to have only my home page open in new tabs. How can i fix this?

There's an extension for that -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
Thanks again for the response.

How do I get new pages in new tabs to automatically go the same setting as my home page? Google is my home page, and I want the opening in new tabs to default to Google also.

Whenever I open a new tab, I want the new page to open to the same setting as my Home Page (in my case, Google). Instead it takes me to Bing. Even my Home Page reverts to Bing after I've set it to Google.

The default New Tab in Firefox is a blank page and there is no built-in option to change that.

Hi [email protected]
If you have set Google to be your homepage, that should be the first one to appear. Are you seeing the Firefox home page when you open new tabs? New tabs should be blank by default. The only reason I've seen Firefox open new tabs with Firefox data on it is after an upgrade of the product.

That's probably not a good idea to try to share apps since you will have to switch ID's each time you update apps and sync apps from iTunes.
And technically - according to Apple's terms - you cannot share apps using different ID's. You can actually lock yourself out of an ID for 90 days if you switch ID's and if you associate the iPad with another ID.
The bold type is a copy and paste from the site that I referenced below.
When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID. This article describes how to manage these associations.
