I want a new tab to open as my home page not multiple pages

I want any new tab to open with my home page google and not multiple pages which are of no interest to me. It seems if you switch the option off you only get a blank page. If you use the add on feature it does not now work. this 'upgrade' is a nuisance.

'''Home page in New Tab'''<br />
There have been several ways suggested to do that, but the easiest for many users has been this add-on --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab

If you are referring to the search in the Add-ons Manager (''Firefox button > Add-ons'' or ''Tools > Add-ons'') that problem seems to have been corrected late yesterday afternoon. If you are referring to something else, you will need to give more details about what you are trying to do, the steps your are taking, what are the results of your action(s), and what you expect as a results.

    I want my new TAB to open blank,but have installed a s/w which opens it's own search page when i open new tab??Help appreciated

    Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
    If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
    And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page?

  • I want a new tab to open when i choose a favorite.

  • A new tab is opening when I click anything on a page. Options that should open within the same window are opening in a new tab. How do I fix this?

    I am currently using 16.0.2. I just did the update a day or two ago. Suddenly today, when I click anything on the page, it opens in a new tab. Just moving through the wizard options to get to this point in submitting this issue opened 7 tabs. How do I fix this? I only want new pages to open in new tabs. If I select 'Next Page' or perform a google search, I don't want a new tab to open. This is getting ridiculous. It's the third time this has happened.....always happens after an update from you guys.....and I can never find the fix in your support pages, and have to submit a question.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    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.

  • How can i get new tabs to open on my home page?

    I would like to have new tabs automatically open to my home page like it does when Firefox starts up.

    Type '''about:config''' in the Location Bar and hit Enter.
    ''Accept the warning message.''
    Type '''newtab.url''' in the Search field at the top.
    Go down a bit to this pref - '''browser.newtab.url''' = right-click and select '''Modify''' - insert '''about:home''' - if you are using the default homepage, otherwise put the URL of your homepage in the dialog box

    When I click new tab my home page is there, this is now great...however when I click the homepage icon, a new tab opens with my homepage, I want the homepage to appear on the tab I am in and no. Pls help.

  • I want my new tabs to open at the end of the row of tabs, how do I do that?

    When I open a new tab, I would like it to open at the end of the row of tabs, not next to the tab I'm on now. I'm used to it opening on the end like it did in older versions of Firefox. I'm sure this is an easy fix but I can't find anything in options and I'm getting frustrated.
    Thanks!

    Hello callagalla, go to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config] find(or copied/paste from there) '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' and double-click on it to make it FALSE.
    thank you

    Hi since I downloaded msn games my new tab window defaults to msn but I want it ot be Firefox. I can't seem to find how to reset it, can you advise please. Thanks

    You can go to Firefox and download one of many add-ons to do this. This issue has been addressed in another forum in Firefox Help. Follow this link: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/773676?s=new+tab+google&as=s
    Two add-ons mentioned by Tony E. are NewTabURL or New Tab Homepage.
    Also, whenever you open the new tab, you can just click on the home icon. That is what I do.

  • I used to be able to click the Home icon using my center wheel to cause a new tab to open with my home page. This feature no longer works. Please advise.

    Suddenly, when I click the Home icon in the upper right of my Firefox page using my center wheel, a new tab no longer opens as
    my home page. Now, nothing happens when I do this.

    There's an extension or two, or a combination of extensions which seem to be causing that in Firefox 6.0.2. One that has been mentioned is TabMix Plus.
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You need to figure out what is causing it, and disable that extension/s until they are fixed by their developer.
