New tab is opening blank how restore it?

1. i installed some app on my windows 8.1
2. it changed my home page new page and default search engine settings.
3. i blocked it from plugins window
4. then i removed the url from about:config window
5. now my new tab is blank
6. i want mt previous new tab with all my thumbnails back.
7. how to do that?

You can do that by following these steps:
# Open about:config
# search for browser.newtabpage.enabled, right click and "reset"
# search for browser.newtab.url, right click and "reset"
Do you have your new tab page back now?
Since this sounds like a virus, I'd also suggest you remove it from your search engines ([[Use the Search bar in Firefox and manage search engines#w_remove-a-search-engine|Remove a search engine]]) and make sure that no malware still exists on your computer, [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]

  • How do I set new windows to open my homepage, but new tabs to open blank?

    I have my browser set to restore the previous session when I open Firefox, and new tabs to open blank. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and have my homepage load, while keeping the behaviors previously mentioned intact, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.
    Is there any way to restore the previous behavior, or are all tabs now seen as the same now, whether they're opened as part of new windows or existing windows?

    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and change from the default (about:newtab) to '''about:blank'''.
    You can test immediately by pressing Ctrl+t or clicking the "+" button.

    Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
    If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
    And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page?

  • When opening new tabs they are blank;how can i make them open to my homepage?

    When you open a new tab it is blank. Is there any way to make a new tab open to my homepage?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == always

    Ctrl+Home button will open a new tab with your home page. If you have multiple home pages, I believe it will open only the first one shown in Tools > Options > General > Home Page.

  • My new tabs are opening Blank instead of having my top sites how do I fix this ?

    I have tried doing the drag and drop from the bookmark list but that just opens up what I drug there instead of giving me the little window squares of most visited sites. I am not sure why this has suddenly happened .

    You can check the value of the <b>browser.newtab.url</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page and set it to about:newtab to get the default new page with the 9 tiles.

  • When you open a new tab, it opens "blank". Is there a way to have it open a pre-set page, like the homepage for example?

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>

    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]] button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    '''For Firefox 29.0 and above:'''
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.
    Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.

  • How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

    When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:

  • 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.

  • How do I have new tabs be a blank page with curser in address bar.

    When I create a new tab it opens on yahoo's search page. I have to mouse over and click in the address bar to type an address. Or I can hit tab 10 or so times. I used to just hit control+t and I could start typing the URL.
    How do I change it so a new tab is ready to go, that is, all I have to do is start typing the URL, bookmark name etc?

    A new tab should open with a blank page by default.<br />
    If that isn't happening then you have an extension that is casing it.
    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).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    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.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
