Open only tab apps without home page opening

I am trying to make it so when i close firefox 4 and open it again, only my saved tab apps open, not a home page tab too. This feature works in chrome.

Use:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show a blank page"

Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

  • When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    When I open the browser I get a extra tab besides my home page that opens. I only want my home page to open.

    Extra pages can be a sign that a bad add-on has crept into your Firefox. For example, an Astromenda infection.
    cor-el pointed you toward Firefox's Add-ons page, and I suggest also checking here:
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, 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.
    For further cleaning, try the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

  • Why cant I find an add-on to open a new tab in my home page on Firefox 5?

    I have been able to open a new tab in my home page (Google in my case) in all of the other versions of Firefox. I am a loyal user but this is frustrating. I cannot locate an add-on for this feature. Is there something out there?

    You can use one of the following IF you also install the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, below (the developers need to update one line of their code to make them compatible with Firefox 5).

  • Plugin download page opens as adiitional tab along with home page tab. which needs to be stopped

    Have you tried resetting your home page from Options > General? Which plugin is that? I have not seen a plugin update open a new tab.

  • Why does a group of App Tabs used as home page "double" when Firefox is re-started?

    I'm using Firefox 4, and have set a group of tabs (some pinned using App Tab, others as normal tabs) as my home page.
    When I start Firefox, the tabs pinned using App Tab appear twice, as a pinned tab and as a normal tab.
    Is there a setting I'm missing? Is it possible to have a group of pinned tabs + regular tabs as initial page?

    The problem is that if you have, say, three pinned app tabs set as the home page, most (but not all) of the time when FF4 starts, it'll open up SIX tabs, the original three PLUS three identical (but unpinned) tabs. Personally, I have five, so my FF4 starts with TEN tabs - not what I want.
    If I unpin the tabs, FF4 behaves as expected.
    It happens with Ubuntu as well as Windows versions.

  • Can't connect to Facebook by app in settings. Problem finding account. No problem with app on home page

    maybe just a temporary issue with service. Should be working now.

  • Safari can't automatically open a new tab on my Home Page?

    OK - I have searched all over the web and this discussion site - are you telling me that outside of using a combination of keyboard shortcuts that Safari - UNLIKE EVERY OTHER BROWSER OUT THERE - can't open a new tab on the user's home page? Let's see if unlike every other post I've ever made to the discussion groups I will get an answer from someone.

    are you telling me that outside of using a combination of keyboard shortcuts that Safari - UNLIKE EVERY OTHER BROWSER OUT THERE - can't open a new tab on the user's home page?
    Correct. If you create a tab group you could click one bookmark entry to quickly open up your preferred homepages.
    You're not the first to ask and not the only person who would like to see this. Send feedback via Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple...

  • How do I open each new tab as my home page?

    My home page includes my Google search box. I would like each new tab to be the same as my home page when opened. Please can you tell me how this is done?
    Many thanks

    cor-el, your detailed answer was great! Providing the exact item in the list of hundreds/thousands narrowed it down perfectly.
    Note to others, I turned off the showing of all the recent sites (very few I visit often enough to be given that list on each new tab, history and multiple tabs does what I need).
    You toggle them on/off with the only icon in the upper right of the page (looks like floor tiles with space between each tile) and even when turned off the selected browser.newtab.url shows.

  • Is there a way to open new tabs in the home page or some other link?

    When I open a new tab using the "+" symbol I get a blank page. I would like new tabs to open in my home page, or, if possible, a different page, like my favorite web browser, which is what I usually want when I open a new tab.
    Can this be done? I can't find the right preference for it, assuming that's the right place for such an option.

    Nothing beats about:blank in my opinion for clarity and for tab history.
    Here is an extension that does what you asked for, it is VERY large for what you get out it (which to me, what I would get out of it is confusion).

  • How do I get Firefox to open a new Tab in my home page intead of a blank Tab?

  • 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.

  • How to change the homepage for a new tab when the home page of the initial tab and subsesequently opened tab are different?

    When iam using firefox i selected google as my home page. But while opening another tab in the same window(ctrl+T), I am getting babylon search as home page for it. How can i get rid of this problem?

    '''''"...while opening another tab in the same window(ctrl+T), I am getting babylon search as home page for it."""
    Any search toolbar and changes to search engines can take place by downloading and installing software; usually "free" software from the internet. Babylon can be downloaded and installed by itself or as a "ride-along" when installing/updating some software from the internet. Always look for an opportunity during the installation to un-check boxes that will install "ride-along" items that you do not want. Firefox installation does not include such "ride-along" items.

  • Regardless of settings, Firefox 4 opens previous tabs instead of home page.

    Firefox 4 ignores setting under options to open home page, and always opens tabs from previous session.

    Make sure that Firefox closes properly. Otherwise Firefox may try to reopen a crashed session.

  • Downloaded the latest revision and now cannot open tabs for new searches or change the main tab from my home page. What did you do to my old Mozilla?

    It opens to my home page but I cannot open another tab. If I change the address in the address bar, it will not go to the new address. I have to go to explorer to get these features now but I really liked my old firefox.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
    '''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
    *Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" 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.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
