New tabs open Google homepage correctly but with cursor in text box rather than search box.
I have Google as my home page. When I open Firefox 7.0.1 the Google home page opens correctly with the cursor in the search box. I have set new tabs to also open in the home page. New tabs do open in Google but with the cursor in the text box rather than the search box. As I recall, this didn't happen before upgrading to 7.0.1 (actually, I think that I was using a tab configuration plug-in that may have been nuked in the Firefox update). This is driving me crazy, is there a solution for 7.0.1?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hello good people of the Adobe Community! I have a user of Adobe Reader XI that is having the following problem:
She is viewing, what we will call, the "main document," and this document has many links to other PDF documents. When she clicks on one of the links, the main document gets replaced by the new document. She then needs to re-open the main document to view it again. This happens with every link she clicks. I worked with the document in Reader XI and am able to open every link as an additional document, thus allowing me to immediately view both the main document and the new document.
My questions are:
Is there some setting in her Reader that I do not have turned on/off, which is why she is having this issue and I am not?
If not, then why is the user experiencing this "replacement" of the main document?
How do I help her resolve this issue?
Thank you for your time and attention.
BenI don't know if there is any way to configure this in the Reader preferences.
However, it can be decided in the document itself. I just created a test document (using Acrobat DC) with two links:
one to open in the same window
on the open in a new window
Both links do what I selected:
one opened in the same Reader window (replacing the original document)
the other one opened a new Reader window
When creating the links there was actually a third option: Window set by user preferences. However, I cannot seem to find such a user preference in Adobe Acrobat Reader. The default (in my case) seems to be to open in the same Reader window. -
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.

Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar. -
Running Firefox on Windows XP3. I installed a plugin from Savevid.com, which they now require. (I've used that site for at least a year with no problem ever.) Everything was fine but it added a toolbar to my browser, and it seems to have reset Firefox somehow so that any new tab opens on "Searchqu", some low-rent search engine. I uninstalled the plug-in altogether, but the toolbar is still there, and I can't make the reset on the search engine go away. I use Tab Mix Plus (also never had this problem before with it), but no matter what I do, the tabs will not open to anything other than searchqu. (Tab Mix has the option to open to a duplicate tab - what it was using BEFORE all this - but changing that no longer has any effect.)
Anyone know how to deal with a problem like this?Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

This just began to happen yesterday. I have a MacBook Pro 10.7.5.
I can always get to the first page that I open in a new browser, but any page after that that I try to open in a new tab will seem to load but the page is blank.
This does not just happen with one website I have tried myriad of different sites.. only the first tab loads in a new browser. I am having to open a new browser if i want to go to another link - very frustrating..Hi - This is Eddie from NTK.
We just released an updated version handling the new Firefox Beta - please grab it from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-king/versions/
Apologies for the bad experience. We're working hard to chase the never-ending Mozilla release train...

when I right-click a link to open in another tab, the new tab opens not in the original window but in the first Firefox window of the session.
I deleted sessionstore.js from the profile and restarted Firefox but that did not helpSounds like this bug:

How do I make all new tabs open with my home page?
When I open a New Tab, it opens with a blank page.
Is there any setting which will force each New Tab to open with my Home Page?New Tab in Home Page: You can modify Firefox with an extension, though I personally would not want that at all, before dismissing a tab I make sure there is nothing in the tab in a backward direction, and would consider looking at anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for.
with the following:
*NewTabURL :: Add-ons for Firefox<br>https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/ -
I have updated as the page has been telling me, but nothing seems to be different. The new tab opens up when I click on a picture to enlarge, when I open a new tab manually, or when I open a page through a link.
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

When I click my home page icon the tab this is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens.
when I click my home page icon the tab that is open goes to my home page BUT another new tab opens. How do I stop the new tab from appearing?
It's easy to add extra tabs to your set of home pages. You can use the Options dialog to make sure there is only one. These articles point the way:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Because the space is short, you may want to select the whole home page URL (Ctrl+A) and paste it into a document or into a larger textbox like the one I'm typing in now. You're looking for a vertical bar (|) that is followed by a second URL.
If it's not part of your home page setting, the most likely cause for this change is a bad add-on that rode along with some free software.
I suggest starting here:
Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible).
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that shut down the extra 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

Even with 'Open new windows in new tab' unchecked, a new tab opens on everything I click on.
Unchecked 'Open new windows in new tab instead' but when I click on anything, a new tab opens, filling the tab bar with too many tabs.
Does a new window open if you hold down the Shift key and left-click?

"New Tab" opens in stead of homepage.
I noticed today that when I start up Firefox a new tab opens instead of my homepage, which is yahoo.com. I looked in options and my settings are still the same as before, to open www.yahoo.com. Is there a solution to correct this? It's set to open homepage, not new tab.

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''.

Lately I've been getting Google searches redirected instead of going directly to the website that's linked through Google. In addition, I occasionally get a new tab opened in Firefox that asks me if I want to take a questionnaire.

Is there any way to set Safari so that when you open a new tab it auto loads your homepage?
There is no preference to have a new tab open with your homepage, although there is one to so open a new window.
A workaround would be to put a Home button on your tool bar (View > Customize Address Bar, and then drag the button) and then command-click on the Home button to get a new tab with your homepage.
