I have a new tab add on that I can't uninstall

I have this stupid new tab page that I can't figure out how to get rid of. I have my homepage set to facebook, I've checked my programs installed and there are no adwares or toolbars or anything. I've checked in the add-on menu and extensions and there is nothing unusual. I can't figure it out. It is called "sweet-page," and I'm sure others have had the issue. It seems to have hidden itself. I even tried the uninstall directions from THEIR page and it didn't work. I just tried to un and re-install Firefox, and it didn't fix it. Help please, it's not killing my computer or anything, just really annoying. Thanks in advance.

In case you didn't find it in your research, there's a separate, hidden setting for new tabs: they don't automatically follow your home page setting.
(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 search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked.
Success?
If not success:
* If Firefox ''refused to save'' your change, check the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, for "Search Protect" and remove it.
* If Firefox ''ignores the setting'', one of your extensions may be overriding it.

How do I delete the search bar in a new tab window so that I can have nine tiles instead of only six?

I used to get nine tiles when I opened a new tab. All of a sudden I only get six with a search bar at the top. All attempts to delete the search bar have failed. I have tried changing the rows and columns in about:config, and I learned about using Ctrl/scroll to shrink the tiles to allow more on the screen. That is a hassle compared to what used to happen. Is there any way to get rid of the search bar, or is there any way to get the nine shrunken tiles to come up when I click on a new tab rather than have to scroll? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, the add on worked great. I even made a donation.

How can I automatically have a new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?

The add-on extension "NewTabURL" (by "sogame") provided the option I want and used for a number of years. But it stopped working when Firefox was updated to version 16.0. When I click for a new tab, all I get is a completely blank tab. How can I automatically have the new tab always be a copy of the current active tab?
Can the extension "NewTabURL" be revised to work in version 16 and/or version 17? If not, how else can I get the new tab functionality that I desire? I can't seem to find any other extension that provides that functionality.

My trackball has 4 buttons and a scroll wheel. Each of the 4 buttons is programmable. The 4 buttons are normally pre-programmed for single-click, double-click, drag and right-click by simply pressing on them
Each of the 4 buttons may be programmed to also have other functions. For example, I programmed "control/single-click" to produce a middle click. I could also have used "shift/single-click" or "alt/single-click" to produce the middle-click. Or I could have similarly programmed double-click or drag or right-click. The Kensington Expert Mouse is quite versatile ... once you get the hang of programming it.
I have had it for about 4 years and I had never had the need to program one of them until you told me about using a middle-click.

I do not have the "new Tab" showing alongside my exsisting Tab(s) How do I get it back?

I cannot open a new Tab because the "New Tab" is not showing alongside my existing Tabs.
I can open a new tab with crtl T and by going File - New Tab.
I am running latest Firefox.
I think this problem occurred when it updated from the beta 5 that I was running.
Beta 5 was removed because it did not return me to my home page on restarting. It brought up my last visited page

Firefox is customizable, you can drag the new tab button from one toolbar to another or return it to the customize dialog box. When on the Tabs Bar bar it looks like a Plus sign with a black "+", when on the navigation bar it looks like a white "+" and a black background of filing cabinet folder. Look at the [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4toolbars.png Before/After] customizations of my own toolbars. I think you have the new tab button next to the tabs but with tabs bar on top it is so confusing.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

Can I have a "New Tab" ( the plus sign on the Tabs Toolbar) open up my Default Hone Page Automatically?

The Top of this screen reads
"Ask a Question | Firefox help
"File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help"
"Ask a Question | Firefox Help |+| ( the "+" is in a grey square)
When I click on the |+| sign in its grey square, it Opens up a New Tab, good, and
Invites me to complete a web address, or to select from Web Address Favourites Toolbar.
What I would really Prefer is for it to Open up a New Page of my Default Home Page.
Is this Possible and as the default option in opening up a new tab.
Given that this |+| tab is not used when opening a new page from the Website favourites, and is also not used when opening a new page from an existingly open webpage, then What is its purpose if not to open a new Occurrence of the Home Page??

You can middle-click or CTRL + left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can also Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages using this add-on -> NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* Click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.

You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.

I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.

The ! sign before the song means that the actual song is no longer on your computer and/or iTunes library.

Try doing a click-and-hold on the Time Machine icon in the Dock, then select "Browse Other Time Machine Disks".

Last point...who archives? On my regular email page I now have the Archive icon to the left of my Delete icon which I would prefer was to the left, first in the line as this is the icon I use mostly. With Folders, my Sent and Trash lists, who needs to archive?
I can help you only with the placement of the icon placement -- if you right-mouse click on the toolbar, then select Customize Toolbar, you can move an icon to where you want it to be.

I have a 27" iMac with a 27" Cinema display. If I have Photoshop running on the cinema display, the menu bar is on the iMac. Is there any add on that I can install to make the menu bar follow the open app?

Look at SecondBar gives you a second menubar

Also see DejaMenu
Also see MenuEverywhere (Shareware)
And if you happen to have a Magic Trackpad, the SecondBar author has a very nice BetterTouchTool utility for creating Magic Trackpad gestures. I can not live with out BetterTouchTool on my 27" iMac with 24" external monitor.

Yes, you can!(:
STEP 1: Open iTunes
STEP 2: Navigate to the "iTunes Store". It can be found under the "STORE" tab.
STEP 3: On the right side of the store there should be a "Quick Links" Section. Click on the "Purchased" link.
STEP 4: Navigate to the "Music" tab and click on "All Songs". Then at the bottom of the screen there will be a button that says "Download All". Click the button and your songs will be begin downloading!
NOTE: This will only work with songs that you bought from the iTunes store, if you imported them from a CD, you will have to do it again.
NOTE: You can also do this with Apps, Movies, TV Shows, and Books.
NOTE: You may have to sign in with your Apple ID to verify the download.
Hope this helped! Enjoy your music!(:

I want to have two folders of Finder so that I can easily drag and drop files from one folder to another

I have been trying to reorganize my files. When in Manila I created a folder called Manila 2015 in Documents. I have the Mother folder Files 2015 with several subfolders like Finances, Personal, Tax etc. I want to have two finder folders simultaneously so that I can drag and drop files from the Manila 2015 folder to the various subfolders in the mother folder Files 2015. I am not able to open two windows of Finder on the desktop.

I have since found out that a new finder window can be opened witht the short cut Command+N.
Thanks anyway.

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually.

I have songs on my iPhone 6 that I can't remove and when I plug into iTunes and go to "Summary" and "On This Device" the songs don't show up but they are on my phone. How do I remove them? Not even sure how they got on actually since I have a iTouch and keep all my music there. HELP!!

Have you tried deleting the songs from Settings?
Settings -> General -> Usage -> Manage Storage (not the iCloud link!) -> Music and then click Edit to enable you to be able to delete.

I have a new tab add on that I can't uninstall
