  • I get a blank page when I open a new tab and would lie to have the thumbnails back - HOW?

    Firefox ver. 16.0.2
    Win 7
    I have tried the suggestions I find on the web.
    Your support page says:
    "The Firefox New Tab page shows pictures of the sites you visit frequently. Sometimes, some or all of these images are not displayed. We'll explain why that happens and how to get them back when it's possible."
    No I don't get any pictures at all when I open a new tab - It's blank, but I click on the following link:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
    I click on the link to follow instructions and end up here:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    I click on this link: "The images of my top sites are gone - how do I get them back?"

    and end up here:
    See The thumbnails on the new tab page are missing - how to get them back.
    I click on the link for information and end up..... were I started.
    So - Could someone be nice and explain how I get the thumbnails back?!
    Because I refuse to use IE, but considering Opera..... Please advice!

    You can change this in Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (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) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
    ''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
    about:newtab
    ''(ii) Blank tab''
    about:blank
    ''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
    about:home
    ''(iv) Any other page''
    full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • How do I get Firefox to open a blank website when I open a new tab and not this "Bing" search engine page?

    Whenever I open a blank tab I'm taken to some page where I can search the web with a search engine called Bing. This isn't a major problem but it causes a LOT of annoyance since the cursor is right in the search engine box and not in the address bar like before. Like I said, not a major problem, just annoying and I'd like it fixed if I can.

  • When I open a new Tab, it's filled with an unwanted site. How do I open a blank page in a new Tab?

    Seems like an unscrupulous web site had made itself the default New Tab location. Every time I open a new tab, the unscrupulous site appears. I simply want a blank page when I open a new tab. How do I get rid of this "default" new tab setting?

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • How do I change what page Ffirefox goes to when I open a new tab?

    I want my page to go to the default "about:blank" page when I open a new tab. But my mother installed a software that forced a new tab to go to a Yahoo search bar page. Is there any way to change it back?
    I have checked my add-ons and uninstalled any pertaining to Yahoo and it still persists.
    Using version 7.0.1.

  • When I open a new tab it does not bring up my homepage. It brings up another sites search engine page.

    When I click on the new tab button, a small cross, it opens the new tab, but displays another sites search page, not my homepage. I cannot find where to tell it to open my homepage on all new tabs that are opened from the tab bar.

    The basic Firefox build has always opened a blank page when you open a new tab.
    Maybe some add-on you installed modified that feature of Firefox which now opens all tabs in a different page. Here's what you will need to do.
    Open Firefox -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. The tabs will now be opening in a blank page. You can Enable the add-ons again and check if its working properly.

  • When I open a new tab, firefox automatically opens an undesired site. How do I turn this off?

    Sir,
    When, I open a new tab, an undesired web site is getting opened automatically. I wish to change this setting.
    I wish to open a blank page, when I open a new tab.
    Kindly help me.

    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.

  • How can I change my settings so that when I open a new tab, it opens a designated home page instead of a blank 'Untitled' page?

  • When I open a new tab it opens a Bing search windos instead og a blank page like it used to

    When I open a new tab it opens a Bing search window instead of a blank page like it used to.
    When FF starts it opens a blank page like it should, but if I click on the + to the right of the current tab is when the Bing tabs open. It's just a Bing search window not the Bing homepage. If needed I can submit a screenshot of the new page.
    I use 2 addons affecting tabs. Multiple Tab Handler, and Colorful Tabs.
    I think SlimBrowser is an IE based browser.
    I use Win pro 64 bi on a HP laptop and FF 3.6.8
    I've never had this problem all the years I used FF until now
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    This is not just an Add-on problem! It's not in my Add-ons. It isn't in my Program Files. Not one single solution I've found on any of the forums has resolved the problem for myself or many others. This is extremely aggravating, and I want it gone!

  • In the prior Firefox version when I opened a new tab there would be thumbnails on the blank page below tabs of web sites that I frequented- now the screen is just blank- is there a way to see the thumbnails below again?

    In the prior version of Firefox before I was encouraged to download the newest version... when I would open a new tab: on the blank page below would appear thumbnail versions of web sites I had frequented which was awesome to return to sites without even going to bookmarks. Now when I open a new tab it is just a blank white screen beneath. Is there something I can do to make thumbnails appear again on the screen below when I open a new tab?

    You can change this in Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
    (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

  • When i open a new tab i want the cursor to be at the beginning of the url (it was until this latest update, now the cursor is at the end of the url)

    I have just taken the latest update to 22.0 from the last version.
    In the past when i opened up a new tab the cursor would jump to the beginning of the URL and i could start typing. Now the cursor goes to the back of the URL and i have to double click the URL to type in a new one.
    Let me try to be as clear as i can. I have had firebox set for long time so when i open a new tab google.com comes up, and google is also my home page.
    I have not installed any options for a long time either. And nothing that has to do with tabs.
    What i remember is as i opened a new tab the URL of it would turn blue and i could start typing in a new URL. Now when i open a new tab i see google.com come up in blue, then the url turns to https://www.google.com/ and the blue goes away and the cursor is at the end of the URL. I now have to double click the URL to type.

    I switched to the "about blank" and then use my home icon to get to Google.com
    It is not quit as good as it was but usable.
    I think you should add two new check boxes in options under "tabs"
    1 - When opening any new tab, put the focus of the cursor on the URL.
    2 - When opening any new tab, put the focus of the cursor on the search box.
    This will take care of the majority of people.
