New tab always opens babylon search site - how to change that

http://search.babylon.com/?babsrc=NT_bb
this link always appears when i open a new tab.
1. how do i stop this?
2. how do i choose my own default address for new tabs?

I had this problem too. Babylon is a Firefox add-on you have to remove. Go to tools and select add-ons. Scroll through add-ons until you find the Babylon add-on and select it which should highlight an uninstall button. Uninstall the add-on. You will have to restart your computer for it to take effect. New tabs should open to an untitled tab. Just hit your home button for the new tab.

How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.

* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

A new tab always opens Yahoo versus wait for an address

I downloaded an MP4 player and it did something to Mozilla such that every time I open a new tab it opens yahoo versus wait for a site address to find. How do I get rid of this nuisance?

Hello Jack C. Anderson,
this problem could probably be caused by a Firefox extension.
To make sure that no extension is causing the problems,
start Firefox in Safe Mode by following the instructions in the [[Safe Mode]] article.

When I open a PDF with Firefox 4 I get blank new tabs continuously opening without stop. How do I fix this?

When I open a PDF with Firefox 4 I get blank new tabs continuously opening.

See:
* [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]]

Firefox just updated, now everytime i open a new tab, it opens yahoo search. I want it to open my topsites when i open a new tab. (sorry for my poor english)

Just like the question...

Type '''''about:config''''' in a new window address bar. Click ''''''I will be careful''''''. You will see all kinds of information that Firefox uses so it knows how to work. There is a search bar at the top of the page. Type ''''''browser.startup.homepage'''''' and check its entry. You can change it to what ever web page you want, or you can enter; ''''''about:blank'''''' for a blank page. I use the Firefox home page; '''''about:home'''''. After, go back to the search bar and type; '''''browser.newtab.url'''''. This is what a new tab page will display. Do the same thing here. You can have the same for both or have each open to different pages.

How do I stop new tabs from opening - all I want is one window that I can click back and forth on the page history

I do not want multiple windows or multiple tabs. In older Firefox versions just one window could be set, using the page history to go backwards or forwards. How do you disable new tabs or new windows from automatically opening in firefox 7?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

When clicking CTRL+Link my new tab opens in the background window, instead of the foreground window I'm using. Is there a way to make this work the way it used to, where the new tab always opens in whatever window I was currently using?

I use a web based software for work. I go to a web page listing all employees as links (Window A). When I click an employee link a new window opens (Window B). Window B contains links, i.e. Add Client, Change Address, Change Phone Number, Change Name, Upload Photo, etc... When I hold CTRL and left click the links in Window B, the new tab opens in Window A. I don't understand why this has changed, as I've been using this method to open new tabs in my current window in both of the previous versions of Firefox.

That didn't work, but thank you very much for the offer of help. I had already tried that option.
To give you an example of what I'm speaking, I found this page that recreates the scenario.
1. Goto [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/centered_popup.htm]
2. Click the GO in the center of the box on their page (This creates a pop-up window with links to other programming pages)
3. CTRL+left click any of those links. The page opens in the background/original window, not the pop up window where you are currently working. And, with your solution takes me back to that window and the new tab.

CS4 always opens with palettes minimised: how to change?

Hi
For some reason my docked palettes have taken to being minimised when I launch Photoshop. Never used to be like that, they launched just how I like them to be (four groups, all open on launch), but I must have accidentally changed something 'coz they don't now.
Ok, it's only an extra four double clicks to open them all up, but it is irritating.
I can't find the setting that puts it back as I want it. I've tried saving the opened palettes as a new workspace, but no joy.
Can anyone tell me how to get my perfect workspace back, please?!
Thanks in advance.
TP

Hi panorama - thanks for the reply.
Good idea, but I had already resaved the workspace with the palettes open, but it still insisted on opening photoshop with them minimised.
I've now fixed by deleting the prefs file and recreating the preferred layout and resaving the workspace. The prefs file in W7 is in users/username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS4/Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings and it is called Adobe Photoshop X64 CS4 Prefs.psp
I'm sure there's an easier way to fix it, but trashing the prefs file does fix it.
Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Before every time I use to open a new tab it comes as top site. Now not anymore and instead is an automatically website calle Only Search. I went to Safari preference I change everything and when I quit Safari all the changes are gone.

I can not change anything and new tab comes by it self with other website.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

How do I get my new tab to open to google search?

My page used to open to avg secure search for new tabs. I figured out how to disable it but now cannot figure out how to set it so that my new tabs open to a google search.
Thanks

Actually it does.
A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that wasn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior and you probably did disable that extension.
You need another extension if you want a new tab to open with a specific page.
You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/
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.

When I open new tabs, they open to Pogo search powered by Yahoo search and not to my home page, so how do I fix that?

I downloaded a game from Pogo and since then, when I open a new tab, instead of going to my home page, it goes to a Yahoo search page. I can't figure out how to change that, but it is very annoying.

That issue can be caused by the Freeze.com NetAssistant extension

Every time I open a new Tab the Yahoo Web Search page appears. How do I remove Yahoo from displaying content on each Tab I open?

I am able to select the website I wish to appear as my Home Page when I open my Firefox browser. However, each time I open a New Tab it opens up to a page showing the YAHOO Web Search Bar. Each and every subsequent Tab opens up showing the Yahoo information. Please Help me DELETE YAHOO ...

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.
