On opening a new tab it loads firefox search page when before it opened blank FF ner 16.0.1

I just downloaded Firefox Version 16.0.1 and whenever I open a new tab it takes me to Fire Fox's search page when before it opened a blank page .How do I change Firefox back to opening a blank page? I have Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

hello Blklog01, you can manually edit this behaviour: 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 '''about:blank'''.

Every time I open a new Tab the Yahoo Web Search page appears. How do I remove Yahoo from displaying content on each Tab I open?

I am able to select the website I wish to appear as my Home Page when I open my Firefox browser. However, each time I open a New Tab it opens up to a page showing the YAHOO Web Search Bar. Each and every subsequent Tab opens up showing the Yahoo information. Please Help me DELETE YAHOO ...

When I click the home button firefox switches to the home page, but also opens a new tab with the firefox startup page.

This is so annoying. I wind up with a bunch of extra tabs that I have to close.

Make sure that you haven't set multiple home pages, separated by a pipe (|) symbol.

Every time i go to my home page firefox open a new tab for "mozilla firefox home page"

keeps opening extra tabs

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

I cannot open a new tab in the firefox window

When I click on the new tab nothing will open. I have also tried right clicking on the tab and selecting open a new tab and doing control + T. None of those will open a new tab though, how do I fix this?

How do i set firefox to open a new tab with a specified web page..?

Ive just installed firefox 5, and when i open a new tab, it open with a blank page. My previous version of firefox opened with my most visited pages as thumbnails. Can i revert to this setup, or can i set firefox 5 to open a new tab with a specified web page e.g google news...?

No this isnt the problem. I want it to open a new tab with Google Search page and not with the big showcase of all my other pages.

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

It is probably a JavaScript link.
You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
''Did that work?''
Some styles that provide a warning as to the type of link:
* No Follow links, mouseover id of other links - userstyles.org http://userstyles.org/styles/10987
* Change cursor on some links with JS. - userstyles.org http://userstyles.org/styles/233

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab"?

I can't open a new tab unless I right click a link and hit "open in new tab."
I click ctrl+t, click the new tab button, right click the tab bar and hit "new tab", and even click "File" and hit "New Tab", but it still won't open a tab!
This has been going on for a week!
I know it may not seem like too much of a problem since I can still open a tab, but it's terribly inconvenient that I can only open one by clicking a link.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
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

All links are opening in new tabs. How do I change this so links open in the same tab?

This started with upgrade to FF 10. I've tried switching Tabs options on and off but everything keeps opening in new tabs rather than switching to the link in the open window. This leads to many tabs that I have to chase to get to the page I wanted to open.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Maybe some of the extensions are causing a problem. I suggest you try using
* [[safe Mode]] <-- clikable link for instructions --
* do NOT make changes in the first window,just click on continue
* use only the default firefox theme
* if you continue to have problems; then whilst still in safe mode disable all plugins
It is also worth trying to ensure all extensions are uptodate
* see [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You may have to try using the reset controls and toolbars option from safe-mode BUT that may loose customisations that you have made.

Why can't I open a new tab? The + is there, but when I click on it, nothing happens. I've even tried File - New Tab. Still nothing!

Suddenly, I am unable to open a new tab. I can click on a link and open a tab that way, but if I want to open several sites on my own, I have to open a new browser. I've tried clicking the +, and clicking File - New Tab. Neither are working. I've even checked Tools - Options - Tabs. That didn't work, either. Please help!

When opening a new tab, Pogo with Yahoo search pops up first - how do I get rid of this

When clicking on a new link, the page changes to Pogo.com with a Yahoo search bar mid screen until the new tab starts to load, then it reverts to the originale page. Im using vista with yahoo as a home page, links open in a new tab. Tried changing home page to Google and reloading different releases of ff 4., started after latest updates of microsoft vista - help!

It took me most of a day to figure this out, but I finally did, after uninstalling the Yahoo toolbar all over the computer, including Internet Explorer but when I went back to Firefox it was still listed on my toolbars, and continued to produce the Pogo search screen whether the toolbar was enabled or not. I found the answer by accident by phrasing it slightly differently on Firefox help. I have XP, but the basics is go click on Tools, then Add-ons, then Extensions. Uninstall Yahoo toolbar and that should do it. Mine is now free of it. The point being that the download came in with something else (in my case a game I was trying out) and you need to get rid of the download on Firefox.

Is there any shortcut to open a new tab next to the focused one? Ctrl+T opens it at the end of all tabs.

Hi, I have read the article about shortcuts, I didn't know all of that was possible.
But I did not find the only thing I was looking for.
I generally have lot of tabs open.
So often I need to open a new tab next to the one I am working in (the one with focus).
But when I press ctrl+t the new tab is opened at the end of all other tabs, and I need to move it where I want.
Is there a quickest way to open it directly there, next to the one with focus?
Thanks
