New tab opens Yahoo searh page

When I open a new tab. it opens at the yahoo search page (http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,167,3_6,Tab%20Search,00000000,0,0,0,0). I have set my home page to blank and have made sure I have no yahoo software installed. How do I get a blank page on a new tab?
Thanks

That feature will have been part of an add-on. Did you have an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5721/ Fast Dial] or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810/ Speed Dial]?

How do I make new tabs open to home page?

How do I make all new tabs open to my home page??

You can look at this extension:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
(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 enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

How to set Preferences such that new tabs open to same page as active when Command-T was hit?

On opening a new tab, the tab by default opens to thumbnails based on recent history. A la Safari, I want the new tab to open *to same page as was active when Command-T was hit*. What are the specific steps to take, to set as the default (preference), new pages to open to "Same page"? ("Same page" is Safari's check box in its Preferences.)
Note, I have navigated available Mozilla Support, and using about:config have reset browser.newtab.url so that the new tab appears blank (discontinuing tracking of recent history for this purpose).
Note, more importantly, I have found this Support Forum article, which, though challengingly written, has given me a temporary solution:
* https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/891635
(The temporary solution for the Mac OS is to Command-click on the "Reload current page" icon in the url/Address box in the browser toolbar, which opens a new tab in the same window.)
However, I would still like to set this as a permanent Preference, and would ask someone communicate a solution to me. Cheers, LeProf

if I can possibly just create a new config line
You can't, which is why I suggested the above add-ons. There is no option in the UI or hidden preference in Firefox that can duplicate a tab whenever you open a new tab. ''browser.newtab.url'' can only be set to a fixed address, not whatever address happens to be open in the current tab.
The are only two built-in methods for duplicating a tab:
# Hold down the '''Option''' key and drag the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
# Hold down the '''Command''' key and click the Reload button in the address bar.

Make new tab open to home page

When I open a new tab with the "+" button I get a blank page. I want my new tab to automatically open to my home page which I have set to Google. This is how IE8 does it.

This worked, and I appreciate it. Very aggravating.
You have to find the add-on under "Tools" first.
The setting to change the New Tab to launch immediately as
your Home Page is there. Would have been nice to have that
be the default, but it's fixed now, so thanks.

I don't want Safari to re-open all windows from last session; can't make it stop. Set Safari preferences to new window and new tab open with blank page, but it won't.

P.S. Also cleared cache and History. Running OS 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1.7.

I hate this "feature", and it is another example of Apple taking functionality (and choice) away from the user. In this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4550
there is a description of it.
Resume in OS X Lion
When you open Safari in Lion or restart the Mac, Safari automatically restores the open windows and tabs from your last browsing session, so you can continue right where you left off.
Tip: To open Safari without resume, hold down the shift key (⇧) as you open Safari. Safari will then open with the options you selected in the "General" tab of Safari preferences, options like your homepage.
In Mac OS X v10.6 and Microsoft Windows, you can choose to have Safari automatically restore your windows in the "General" tab of Safari preferences.
99 times out of 100, I DON'T want to restore all the windows from my last browser session. It makes zero sense for them to take the checkbox out of the General tab of the Safari Prefs.

When logging out of a website, a new tab opens to the closed page but the original tab is still open. How do I close first tab?

When I open a site, such as a Credit card website, after I logon, but when I try to logout. When I hit the logout button, a new tab opens and this page is now the logged out page of the website, but the original tab is still open and the page is still logged on. I have tried every possible combination of changes in the Tab Mix Plus but cannot get the right ones to fix this problem.

Thank's but still no fix.
In safe mode everything works.
Without Zotero - everything works.
When the popup is loaded with Zotero, the tab shows a constant "Loading" with the circular in process icon.
The Zotero icon shows to the left of the tab.
If I right click on Zotero and close it, the close() js works properly
Is there a way to do a window.open() with:
A. no tabs -or-
B. block all add on's -or-
C. to kill an add on
before doing the close()?

Why does a new tab open when I click a page on google?

When I click on a page in Google after searching it up through there, a new tab opens with the page and the Google tab remains. This does not happen on the Mozilla start page.

hello, this might be a preference in your google search settings. go to google.com/preferences and disable the option to ''Open search results in a new browser window''.

How can I set that my "new tab" opens as Google instead of Yahoo as it is set now?

I usually use Ubuntu, and am not aware of HTML5 being the default for Flash videos on Windows.
Is it more likely you have chosen an option on the YouTube website to use HTML5. I think this page offers support and includes an option to toggle HTML5 or FlashPlayer.

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

When we connect to the internet or visit a new web page, a new tab opens and an alert pops up as follows: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded"

When we start the internet or navigate to a new page, a new tab opens with the following alert: "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded." We "x" out of it, but a new tab, with the same alert appears. The problem occurs again when we try to navigate to another web page. A real nuisance. We've scanned the computer but found nothing but Adware cookies.

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).
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.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

When I right click and select open link in new tab, it leaves the page I am on and takes me to the first tab to the right

I usually have many tabs open when I read the news, and it is nice to select open links in new tabs while scrolling through a news' home page. Lately, however, Mozilla has been opening the new tab, but switches the page I am viewing to the first tab to the right of the home page. For example, I had ESPN.com open, and then a few Facebook tabs after that to the right. Whenever I would select open link in new tab, the tab I was viewing would switch from ESPN.com to the first Facebook tab to the right, and the new tab would open a little further down the line. Any chance anyone knows how to fix this?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox start page opens up as new tab whenever my home page opens

I've changed the default home page to another website.
Whenever Firefox starts up, two tabs will open ie. my homepage and Firefox start page. While browsing on any tab, if I click ALT+HOME to go to homepage, a new tab opens again for the firefox start page.
Why is this happening? It didn't happen with older firefox browser versions.

I have the same issue and figured it out. When you (and I) set our home pages, the Firefox start page was open also. Firefox takes every tab you have open when you set your home page. So close all but 1 tab and go to your desired home page and set it through the Tools>options>General tab. That fixed it for me.

Websites don't open in new tab on SharePoint 2013 pages

Hello,
I have Open in new tab checked in the page editor for a link on SharePoint 2013 page. When the page is published, the link does not open up at all. I have to do a right mouse click and select "Open in a new tab" manually. I am
using IE 11.
Anyway there could be something to get this to work with IE? When use the page in Google Chrome, the website opens up in a new tab. Not with IE.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Paul

I am editing links on a webpage on a SharePoint page. I am in the content management system on SharePoint 2014. I have check out the page and in the editing mode. I have highlighted a link on a page and can edit the link. There is an option to select
"Open in a new tab". This is an internal SharePoint site, our intranet. Client OS are Windows 8.1.
I have read that it could be the Pop-Up blocker or the Protect mode for intranet. I will check those out.
