'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
'''If Firefox is open,''' you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
'''If Firefox is not running,''' you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
;[[Image:SafeMode-Fx35]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

When I open a new tab how can I get firefox to display my homepage instead of a blank page?

I know how to set my homepage for when opening firefox, but I can't find how to make newly opened tabs automatically load my homepage. Can this be done? Seems like opening a new tab only allows a blank page to load.

New tabs dont pop up when I click to add a new tab, either by the tab bar or through the file menu.

when I try to open up a new tab on my browser it doesn't do anything. I've tried the add a tab button on the tab bar, I've tried right clicking on the tab bar to add a tab, and I've gone through the file menu and nothing happens, like the command was never made....all other features work just fine..is there something wrong in my settings that I need to change??

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

I keep getting a new tab asking me to update Firefox & JAVA but I already have the most current versions. I also am getting ads on the homepage

After updating the most current Firefox I now get Ads on the home page that I can't get rid of even with the "X" box on the window. I have to shut down Firefox and start over to get anywhere. I didn't have this problem before the update.
I also had a change to the new tab/page feature. I used to click for a new tab and a series of boxes would show where I've been so I can perhaps select one. That feature has changed and I now get a tab/page that says it is owned by AVG. Where is my old page

If it opens in a new tab it is likely fake.

Why does an advertising page automatically pop up in a new tab right after I start Firefox?

In the last few days, whenever I've started Firefox my home page loads normally, but then a new tab automatically opens up with an ad, sometimes in the form of a system warning. Today's ad was from Snap telling me my Real Player was out of date. This is very annoying and alarming. Has Mozilla started distributing ads this way?

Do a malware check with some malware scan 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 the database before doing a scan.

Firefox won't save my setting for 'Open new window in a new tab instead' when I close Firefox.

When I am doing my internet banking I need to have the setting option for 'Open new window in a new Tab instead' Un-checked (disabled). Problem is this setting is not being saved the next time I open Firefox. That is every time I close Firefox (all open window and tabs), the next time I open it up again, this setting has re-enabled itself again. I just can't get Firefox to remember this setting for me.

How to turn of the "new tab/window" click sound in Firefox 4?

I have just installed Firefox 4.0.1 on Gentoo Linux.
Any time I open a new tab or window, there is a "click" sound. It sounds deliberate, like a notification.
The sound persists even when turning all addons off.
How can I disable that sound?

I tested this on my coworkers iPhone 5 running iOS8, and it does not occur for him. So it must be a bug. I am posted a bug report. Here is video of the issue happening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6t7gwmvj0gc3wvh/IMG_3519.MOV?dl=0

Double click for new tab dont work

When I hidden the menu bar does not work double click on the tab bar to open a new tab. What it does when you double click, is to restore or maximize the window depends on the status of this.
If I shows the menu bar, go back to work.
I have the latest version of Firefox 4.
Thanks.

Try middle click instead of double click

How to set new tab to my home pagein Firefox 18

I would like my new tabs to open in google or my home page which has google on it, rather than the 9 little boxes. Is there a way to make my home page open in a new tab? Is there a way to have google search open in a new tab?

hello hildegard, yes this is possible - enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), search for the preference named '''browser.newtab.url''' and double-click & change its value to '''www.google.com''' (or any other address you want to show up when you open a new tab).

New tab page has changed in firefox 33

Instead of 9 pinned sites shown, I now have 8 unpinned sites, and had to delete and add the correct ones and repin them. Why did this happen and why am I the only person in the entire world who is asking any questions about it?

You can adjust the number of thumbnails shown using zoom (hold Ctrl and tap the - key a couple of times).
But some users are finding that Firefox does not remember the preferred zoom level for this page, even though it remember it for other pages. In that case, unfortunately, the only known workaround at the moment is to use an add-on such as the one suggested by codygotkilld.
You also can use a custom style rule if you already use the Stylish extension. For example, I posted one here: https://userstyles.org/styles/106326/shrink-new-tab-thumbnails
