Latests update adds a new tab with social media links to exsisting home pages. How do I stop this?

When I open Firefox, my homepages (4) are loaded, then after a slight delay, there a new tab appears with social media links and the new tab is active. I want to stop the new tab from opening!

Uh-oh, you might have installed an unofficial bundle containing the update. If your download history indicates the source, can you report it here?
Your "More system details" shows the MySearchDial extension. I recommend removing that, either from the Add-ons page (if possible) or from the Windows Control Panel.
Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then find MySearchDial and remove it (or at least disable it).
If necessary, open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and click the "Installed on" column heading to bring recent infections, er, additions, to the top.
Any luck cleaning it up?

Running Firefox 4.0 - but when I hit new tab it does not default to my home page, how do I fix?

In the earlier version I had of Firefox 3. something-can't remember now, whenever I opened up a new tab it automatically opened up in my home page "Bing" http://www.bing.com. Now when I open a new tab, it's simply a blank page. How do I get it to open the Bing page automatically whenever I open a new tab?
Thanks.

I do not want the new tab with apps opening up when I open Firefox, how do I fix this?

I just want the home page to open without the new tab with a search bar on it.

Sometimes home page changes are caused by a new extension, or by external software modifying your Firefox settings. These can sneak in when you install other software, as many free programs include a bundle of less useful stuff.
Could you check your extensions for anything nonessential or unrecognized? Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. Or if it's obviously rubbish, remove.
If the Remove button is missing for an extension, you usually can find a way to remove it using the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program (or whatever it is called now in Windows 8.1). Clicking the "Installed on" column heading to sort by date is useful in finding and removing unknown bundle items or other untrustworthy additions.
Once your system is clean, does your preferred home page show up, either immediately or after updating the setting in Options?

A new tab opens up everytime I do a search on my home page, how do I stop this from happening? I've checked the browser.search.openintab and the value is set to FALSE, any ideas?

I just want all my searches to stay on the same tab that I already have open.

The browser.search.openintab pref applies to the (Google) search bar on the Navigation Toolbar and not to search bars on web pages.

For some reason, When I add my 'My Music' folder to Itunes on my new computer, as Itunes is adding music, It's creating hundreds of playlists from each of my artist/albums...I end up with a ton of playlists (200 gigs worth) How do i stop this?

Essentially, Itunes creates a playlist for each album in my 'my music' folder, resulting in thousands of playlists. Why is this happening all of the sudden? How do I stop this?
Thanks,
Brendan

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

I get an error message after downloading the latest itunes update. It says to download only and then to manually install. How do I do this? Or, is there some way to make the download work? Thank you.

The message is 'errors have occurred, go to tools>download only and try installing manually'. BTW, I am using Google Chrome.

When trying to open an .xps file, I told Firefox to AUTOMATICALLY open all .xps files in the future using xpsviewer.exe & now it opens MANY, MANY tabs FAST and continually once I double click on .xps file!

How do I set a defaut page for New Tabs? (make it same as my Home page, first tab)

Each new tab creates a blank "untitled" tab. I want my new tabs to open with my Home page default. I thought earlier versions of FF let me do this.
99% of the time I need a new tab, it is for a new search, so just want my iGoogle Home page to show up.

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

How do you get new tabs on firefox to open to your home page?

When I open new tabs in firefox they open to the blank "new tab" pg. How do i get them to open directly to my homepage on igoogle that opens when I start firefox?

You can do that by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage].

New tabs will not open no matter what I do, how can I fix this?

I keep trying to open a blank new tab by using "ctrl + t", as well as, file > new tab and neither is working.

This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbMYC-ST/3.12.2.16749

When I open a new tab I get AOL instead of the tiles. How do I fix this?

I made the mistake of downloading the "new" Firefox with AOL toolbar. I did not like it, and deleted the toolbar per instructions. However, whenever I open a new tab, it comes up as AOL instead of as the tile history. How do I get my tiles back? I don't see that little gear all the help pages talk about......

Worked perfectly, just needed to reset my preferences. Excellent. Thank you!

Page that appears when I click + to open a new tab... I set my home page as Google, but when I click + to open a new tab, I get AVG's search engine. In one solution, AVG suggested "open FF about:config...etc."

then... "change browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID AND browser.startup-homepage_override.mstone
Running Windows 7 - Firefox 10.0.2

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.
