I want a new window to open a blank page, instead it opens start page and cant grab icon in new tab to set as home page.

New tab blank page icon is not selectable and therefore I can not click and drag it to home page icon. Other pages work, but not blank pages. I do not want Firefox Start Page.

Install an extension that adds that feature to Firefox.
New Tab Homepage extension:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777
or
NewTabURL extension
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2221/

  • How can I get a pdf. to open in Safari, all i'm getting is a new window with a black, blank page, instead of the pdf., and I don't want to save the file to the desktop, Safari didn't use to do that, and I don't have Adobe in the internet plug in folder.

    Hi
    Please take a look to this thread Re: Can I refresh the browser rather than open a new tab?

  • "Move To New Window" Does Not Work in Version 5. It opens a new window, but it's blank, and the tab I wanted as the new window stays where it is. Is this a bug?

    Right mouse-clicking on a tab and selecting "Move To New Window" should open the contents of the tab in a new window, and then close the original tab on the original instance of FF. But in Version 5, that action simply spawns a new window that is totally blank, and the tab I wanted opened in a new window stays attached to the original window.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Firefox opens a new window every time I click a link. I reset FF and it did not fix the problem.

    When I click on any link, the browser opens a new window. I have searched the browser options to fix this and have not found a place to select a different option. I have reset Firefox and checked all of my plugins and have not found anything that seem to be related to my problem. Sometimes, Firefox will work normally for the first few minutes of use and then start opening a window for everything.
    By normally, I mean that I click a link and it opens the link in the same tab that I'm browsing. Some links will open in a new tab, depending on the type of link. Mostly, they open in new windows no matter what.

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

  • I just installed ff 4, impossible to open in a new window its always showing blank

    - open in a new tab no issue, open in new window : blank - windows xp sp3 - Some say its the google toolbar , I cant imagine firefox team is not fixing this- Anybody knows a fix ?

    In case anyone is following this thread, I've determined that in my case, the problem is definitely caused by an extension (Roboform).
    Here is a reproduction scenario:
    1. Search for sessionstore.js somewhere in your Windows Profile, and delete it.
    2. Start FF.
    3. Middle-click your Home button twice, creating three tabs with your home page in them (in my case, Google)
    4. Close and re-open FF. It opens correctly, restoring the three tabs.
    5. Left-drag one of the tabs off the tab header, which should open the tab in a new window. A new window opens, but it is blank.
    6. Close the new window, then close the existing window. By closing the new (blank) window first, it should cause it to not be saved in the session.
    7. Open FF again. Two windows are created: one with two tabs, each with your home page, and one with a single tab with nothing in it.
    If you repeat step 5, even if you close the new window each time, an additional window is created each time you start FF. This also applies to creating new windows via Ctrl-N, or by right-clicking a link and clicking "Open in New Window".
    By disabling Roboform browser integration, the problem goes away. I'm about to email the Roboform people now...

Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next.

  • 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.

    To be blunt, you can't.
    How a PDF is viewed is controlled by the viewer's computer. Their settings decide whether the PDF is displayed within the browser, opens in Acrobat outside the browser or prompts them to download it.

    If you leave a webpage up there without closing it from the tabs it should always return, otherwise tap the "three dots" bottom right of screen and scroll down to"pin to start" and you will then have a new tile upon homescreen.

  • Howcan I set the home page for new tabs?

    When I open a new tab, it opens up as a blank page. How do I setup Firefox so that the new tabs open in my home page?
    ''locked by a moderator due to age and that Firefox 13 has a new feature for a new tab''

    Thanks, but the problem I'm trying to solve is to get my home page to open automatically when I am already in Firefox and click on the new tab "+" sign to the right of my most recent tab. I have not found a solution to this in the link "How to set the home page" nor in the various help pages on new tabs.
