I have tried everything suggested to get rid of the "Open a new tab" search page.

I just bought a new computer with Windows7. I downloaded and installed Firefox 18.0.1 about a week ago.
I am trying to get the history icon page to open when I click the "Open a new tab".
Some of the things I've tried (like resetting Firefox and installing the add-on) worked but only until I shut down.
When I load Firefox again, that pesky search page ("Open a new tab") is back.
How can I get the history icon page to stay permanently from day to day?

Sunday 20 Jan 13
No addons, extensions or user.js file.
Problem persists.

  • Get rid of noise opening a new tab

    I have a 2 windows 7 pc. The one at work does not make a annoying sound when I open a tab but my new dell makes the noise. If it has to make a noise I will stop using firefox. Please let me know how to proceed.

    What is on the new tab?
    </blockquote>
    When you open a new tab it lists the previous websites down below that you could click on to go to right away.
    When you click a new tab there is a settings key on the upper left that if you choose ENHANCED or CLASSIC I believe that is where you get the annoying noise. If you choose Blank then the noise does not sound.

  • How do I get rid of the totally useless AVG Secure Search page?

    I used to be able to open Firefox and there were all the icond at the top.
    NOW, all I get is this STUPID AVG SEcure Search, which occupies all the page. I can no longer get to my bookmarks and this has slowed down my workload considerably.
    I understand it was an add-on or extension put out by Firefox but without telling me the disaster that lay ahead.
    What I require is a simple way of removing this blot. avgssie.dll?

    Hello,
    Please provide the URL for the website if possible. Also, this may be the homepage you have set so this may be this issue. You can also try safe mode as listed below:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Messages on my ipage will not send. I have tried everything suggested and still I get a not delivered message

    Since I have upgraded to iOS 7 messages on my ipad will not send. I get a red message saying not delivered I have tried everything suggested so far, still nothing.

    I'm having the same problem with my Wife's old iPhone 3G.  It's battery went completely dead and now all it does when I hit the power button is shows the screen that shows the animated charger/battery saying to plug it into a charger and then it shuts off.  The thing is, it's plugged into a charger, I've tried several, I've tried getting into DFU mode to restore 4.2.1 and see if that would help but I can't get into DFU mode because the iPhone shuts off before it gets a chance to load I suppose.
    If I find a solution that works to get the iPhone out of this quirk/bug mode it's in right now from the battery dying, I will post it here so you can fix your iPhone as well.
    Best of luck with finding your solution to fix this!  We're both probably going to need it because so far I've searched for the answer for the past hour and still can't get it to even start charging.

  • We have a hp psc 750 and I have tried everything and cannot get it to print., Any suggestions

    Can you give me any suggestions as to what I can do to make this printer print.  I have tried everything, shut it down make sure the printer has no previous jobs on it,  I need some help

    Please read this post then provide some details.  What operating system?  Are there any error messages on the printer or computer screen?  Will the printer properly make copies?
    Do print jobs go through the motions of printing but pages come out blank?

  • My itunes will not open in Windows Vista, I have tried everything suggested on the apple website, there is some type of plug-in issue..can someone please help me?

    Hello, 
    I need help! My itunes will not open in Windows Vista. I have tried everything suggested by the apple website. Even when I open itunes in safe mode, it still will not allow me to continue. I am assuming when it says something about Plug-ins that has something to do with the problem. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.

  • Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices

    Got new ATV and all set up. It keeps loosing connection with iTunes on laptop and have tried everything suggested in set up guide. It works fine for a while then the iTunes account vanishes from 'computer' menu TV screen.  Full Wifi signal on both devices so can't think what could be causing it to happen. Any suggestions please?

    Sorry, I updated another thread I was a part of but didn't update my own thread.....ughhh!
    I updated all of my ATV 2's and 3's to the latest firmware when it was released and have been problem free since. I do believe the major issue of not being able to connect after a period of inactivity has been corrected with the latest ATV firmware.
    I can look at my network connection table using "netstat -an" in a CMD window and I do not see the massive number of connections I saw before the update.
    Here is a link to the other thread I was referring to above:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19952545#19952545
    Have you applied the latest firmware updates to your ATV 3's?

  • I have a stuck CDR disk in my MacBook. I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.

    I have tried everything and nothing works. When the computer starts it makes weird sounds and also when I try to eject it. Nothing Works! Please Help.

    I had that happen with a MacBook. It turned out that the metal case above the slot was slightly bent down.
    Putting a flat blade screwdriver in the slot and gently twisting it to move the metal case up allowed it to eject. Don't put it in too far you only want to bend the case not the drive.
    The case can get bent down by picking it up with your thumb pressing down on the case above the slot.

  • How do I get rid of the "Or click New to create a new user"

    How do I get rid of the “Or click New to create a new user” on the centre pane of the portal screen when you go to "Users"?
    My client doesn't allow users to create new users so this needs to be removed, but I can't find where it's configured.

    Did you ever figure out how to do this. I have looked everywhere.. I see in the code it is just a seb-text element, but I cannot find the source file that contains this.
