New tab does not open to home page

Previous version of Foxfire allowed for opening a new tab to your homepage. I cannot find that setting in Firefox 6.
BTW, please quite screwing with Firefox. You're not making it better.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

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:

For some unaparent reason opening a new tab does not open my home page google. Been ok for years

Now on Firefox 28.0. I got an update for Divx and installed. Following this new tabs were direct to search.conduit. I uninstalled this but now when I open new tabs I get a blank page and have to manually direct to my homepage. Previously a new tab opened automatically as my home page (Google). Starting Firefox gets me the correct homepage. How can I ensure that each new tab opens to my homepage?

Your settings might have switched when you installed DivX. You can set the new tab page to something different by the following:
*Navigate to about:config
*Click ''I'll be careful, I promise!''
*Search for '''browser.newtab.url'''
*Double click the string, erase ''about:newtab'' and enter the one you want (www.google.com)
*Close down Firefox and re-open.

Opening new tab does not display my home page by default, what setting do I change to achieve this?

When selecting the open new tab option, in the past, the tab opened displaying my designated home page. It now opens displaying a YAHOO! search page. My home page settings have not changed and continue to display the correct address, selecting 'home' brings up the correct home page, at any time during browsing. Is there another location where this 'invalid' new tab address might be listed, and removed or reset ?

VC you are a genius! I solved my problem with your solution.
Thanks a lot!

New tabs do not open the home page, only the first tab does. What gives?

I think that sums it up.

Thanks, I was kinda hoping something like that would be a stock feature. I love having to scrounge for bunches of add-ons every time I Fdisk one of my Vista machines.... Not.

New Role does not appear in home page after assigned to a user

Hi there!
I'm new at SAP Portals.
I've created a role and assigned it to an user, but the corresponding tab does not appear in home page.
I've already changed permitions to a group that is assigned to the user.
I've seen in some posts that the role's property "Entry point" should have value "Yes", but mine is set to "No". Meanwhile, I can't change it. When I open the role and press button "Properties" nothing happens. The only way I can check role's properties is through "Delta Link tracer", but there I can't change them.
Can you help me, make the new tab (corresponding to role) happear in home page menu?
Thanks and best regards,
Vasco Brandã

Hi,
to track down you problem, you click on "properties", but you can't see the properties? They won't get loaded and therefor, you can't edit the property?
What's your portal version + SPS, which browser are you using + version (IE, FF) and how do you access the portal? IP, FQDN? Are you getting any error message in the browser?
What profile is assigned to your user? What kind of roles are you trying to modify? A new one, or a SAP pre-delivered portal role?
br,
Tobias

Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' until Ask fixes the problem caused by their toolbar.

When I click on 'open a new tab' or if I select 'new tab' from the file menu a new tab does not open. It used to.

When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page

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
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Safari does not open in home page.

Safari does not open with the "home page" set in preferences. Always opens with the last page viewed prior to quitting.

I have the same problem (10.7.2., Safari 5.1.2 on an iMac). In System>Preferences>General >Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. (Uncheck). The box is unchecked. In Safari>Preferences>General I have the following settings:
New windows open with: Same page
New tabs open with: Same page
Homepage: http://www.nytimes.com/
Whenever I open Safari I get a blank page (and I have to click on the Home Page icon). This has never happened in my Power PC with Lion (now sadly in computer heaven) nor my MacBook with Snow Leopard. Closing windows individually or closing Safari itself doesn't matter. Re-opening Safari gets me a blank page. Any advice?

New tab does not open when clicking on + tab

I'm trying to open a new tab. I click on the + tab and nothing happens

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Firefox STILL does not open the home page when a new tab is selected

I have just 'upgraded' to FF4 and expected that the irritating 'new tab homepage load situation' would have been resolved by now: sadly, it looks to STILL be around.
MS IE has been loading the homepage DIRECTLY when a new tab is selected for about FOUR YEARS now, so I'm staggered that such a simple but very useful feature is not available in Firefox.
The obvious question is WHY??
In IE, you don't have to keep hitting the home page button to carry out a search in google when a new tab is selected, and IE does NOT need an 'add-on' to incorporate this functionality; it really is quite irritating that the function is still not built-in to FF, and the coding requiret to incorporate the function ain't rocked science Mozilla people - WHY has this not been put into effect by now?

Some people prefer a blank tab because it takes no time to load. Some people prefer their home page. Some people prefer a list of most frequently used sites. It would be convenient if all of these options were built in, but obviously no one stepped up and made it a priority.
By the way, another way to search in a new tab is: Using the search box (on the toolbar), after typing your query, either press Alt+Enter or Ctrl+click the magnifying glass. This opens the search in a new tab and saves that step.

Firefox 3.6.13 - Why, when I use the dropdown File menu to open a new window, does FF open my Home Page tabs? All I want is a blank page.

I have four tabs in my home page:
2 - https://mail.google.com/mail/;
1 - http://us.mg5.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch;
1 - http://www.facebook.com/login.php
When I use the "File" drop-down menu I want only a blank page, but I get the four tabs. How go I get other New Windows to open as blank pages?

A new window open by default with the Home page(s), tabs open a blank page.
The only ways to avoid opening a new window with the home page is either to set the home page to about:blank (ie disabling the home page) or use a bookmark with the location set to about:blank and use Shift + left-click to open that link in a new window.

When I click on a link the new tab does not open chosen link, it opens a different link entirely

This has been a problem for a month. Before that it was never an issue. If I do a web search, find what I want then click on that link the new tab that opens is the selected link--it is something else entirely. I like Firefox and want to continue using it as my browser but I am not having the problem with Chrome at all so I think it is something with Firefox settings and not my computer a virus of some kind...but then I don't know much about these things.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Safari does not open to home page or last page visited

When I open Safari, it does not load to my homepage, or to my last visited page. Instead, it loads to a page, which I visited a number of days ago. Does anybody have any ideas why this may be?

Ok...
Try emptying the Safari cache. Command + Option + E or from the Safari menu bar. (A "Reset" does not empty the cache).
Also, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And try restarting your Mac.
If nothing helped, quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

When I click on the "New Tab" button, or try to open a new tab through the "File Pull Down" Menu, a new tab does not open. How do I fix this?

I cannot open new tabs. The new tab button, new tab option on the file menu and the new tab option when I right click on the tab all do not work. This started when I updated Firefox Yesterday. It is becoming annoying when trying to work with multiple tabs open. How can I fix this?

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.
