On opening a new window tab shows - "browser.startup.homepage=about:home"

When I open a new window all I see is this "browser.startup.homepage=about:home". And address bar says chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties
What is happening and how do I fix this?

You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js and user.js files to reset all prefs to the default value.

  • I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new windoiw opens but it's blank inside.

    I'm running Firefox 3.6.13 and if I click on a link to open a new window nothing shows up - i.e. if I click on 'enlarge' on an Ebay auction photo a new window opens but it's blank inside.
    Any ideas please? I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, and downloading and installing Flash but no joy.

  • Link doesn't get open in new window/tab

    Hi I have a expression on a text box, which shows a link. What i want is, when I click on the link, it should open in new tab. I have the expression below, it opens the link in the same tab, but not in a separate tab.
    =IIf(Fields!myField.Value="Online","<a href=""http://www.google.com"" target=""_blank"">" & "[Click here to do]" & "</a>","")
    Can anybody help please? Thanks.

    Hi ca4fil,
    According to your description, you want to click the URL then open the page in a new tab.
    As we tested in our environment, when clicking the URL in a report, the target="_blank” included within the HTML tag is not supported to open a new tab. In your scenario, since you want to open the URL in a new tab, you could set the “Go to URL” option
    with the expression like below:
    =IIF(Fields!myField.Value="Online","javascript:void(window.open('http://www.google.com','_blank'))","")
    Besides, you should make sure you have selected the "Always open pop-ups in a new tab" option in Internet Options.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best regards,

    hello, you may have various malicious addons and software present. please perform all these steps:

  • How can I force Firefox to open a new window (tab) a certain size. I need a smaller box but it always opens full screen.

    I get tired of having to click on the upper right box every time I need the smaller window, which is VERY frequently. I teach college online and need to see only a portion of the large screen as the rest may distract me while grading. This COULD prove unfair to my students.

    Don't know if this is the answer you want, but it gives you an idea of what you can do.
    * Using the window.open method<br>http://www.javascript-coder.com/window-popup/javascript-window-open.phtml
    You can resize an existing window with a bookmarklet, but you would have to be able to initiate the bookmarklet from the window.
    * javascript:self.resizeTo(642,364);self.moveTo(0,0);

  • In Firefox 5 links with target="_blank" don't open in new window or tab. Is there a way to make them do that?

    I've search some info about this and it seems like there's a lot of people that are annoyed by links opening in new window/tab and that the 'target="_blank"' is not valid in strict XHTML. I'm guessing this could be reasons why Firefox 5 ignores the 'target="_blank"'. But in some cases you really want to open a new widow, in my case I'm using a flash application and want to open links in new windows from there and then the ctrl-click doesn't work. When opening the link in the same page and then go back the application is reloaded and it's state is lost. Probably should try to find out if there's some other way to open links from a flash application, but I'm wondering if there's a way to make Firefox 5 open 'target="_blank"' links in new tabs.

    I don't know how to delete my question, anyway I'm not having this problem anymore. In our organisation the IT department deploy Firefox updates with certain settings and limitations, in the tap-options the checkbox for opening new windows in new tabs where checked but disabled. They made some changes to make this checkbox enabled and now it works as expected if it's check new windows open i new tabs and if it's not in new windows. They never opens in the same tab as they did before.

  • Setting mailto links to open new window/tab?

    When I click a mailto link, I would like to be able to have it open a new window/tab, not open my webmail (yahoo) in the same window. Also, when I click said mailto link, I have issues with the link sending the correct info to yahoo. I end up getting everything in the to field with the mailto: and also the subject: in this field. e.g. [email protected]?subject=test

    My MAILTO problem was finally fixed on the June 29, 2012 Firefox version 14 beta 10 release.

  • Viewing Larger Image Version / in New Window/Tab

    I have added in the links to larger image files to my lower res images. When I click those images in Preview it takes me out of the page and to a new window to view the larger image. Will this larger image be viewed in antoher tab/window? I see the option to click "Open in new Window/Tab" in the hyperlinks menu. I have not activated that for each image link. Should I?
    I want to make sure I don't leave the site and don't maintain a tab to get bak to the page I was on after I view a larger image.

    Yes you will need to do it for each link. Wether it opens in a new tab or a new window really depends on what browser the user is using and how they have it set up.

  • Everytime I open a new window to browse, in this new window I would right click to open link in new tab but the new tab always shows up in the other window.

    I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?

    Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
    According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
    That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
    WORKAROUNDS
    That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

  • New tab page only shows icons when I open a new window, not when I open additional tabs within existing window. Help!

    When I click the + sign to open a new blank tab, I don't see any of my favorite / pinned websites. I can only see this when I start a new browser window, and only for the "landing page". Once I go to any other page, I can not get my new tab page with tabs to display.

    I fixed it. I went into about:config and had to change browser.newtab.url to about:newtab
    Thanks though! Marking as solved, have a great day

  • 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.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 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. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
