Opening home page with a new tab

Hello, I know there's a way to do this but can't remember what it is and I just did an archive and install and now I can't get a new tab to open with my home page like before. Thanks for the help!

says New tabs open with home page or the like
What you see under "Tabs" is what you get.
This may work for you.
Have tabs open when you launch Safari
1) From Safari's Bookmarks menu select "Add Bookmark Folder." A new "untitled folder" will appear in the left-hand side, highlighted and ready to be named.
2) You should already have separate bookmarks for each of your six desired sites. Create them if you don't. Copy each of the desired bookmarks to the newly created folder.
3) Under Safari Preferences > General > "New windows open with:" select "Choose tabs folder..."
4) From the popup menu select the newly created folder and press Choose.

When I left-click the home button, how can it open my home page in a new tab?

I thought it used to do that. I had to do a clean install of Windows, I believe I was only on FF 22 or 23 when this happened. Now I'm on FF 26 and obviously all my settings are gone.
I'm 99% sure that when I left-clicked on my home button, it opened my home page in a new tab. I know I can middle-click to get that affect, but it used to be left-click and I do that automatically now. But I don't want to lose the current window I have up, so something's wrong.
Anyone know how to fix this? Or an add-on to do this?

If you hold down the Ctrl key while left clicking the Home button then the home page opens in a new tab. 
You can also middle-click the home button like you can with any other link

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?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:
http://sogame.awardspace.com/newtaburl/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777

Everytime I right click to open a page in a new tab, it opens in a new window!

Every time I right click to open a page in a new tab, it opens in a new window! Not sure why? This never happened before with earlier versions of Firefox.

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 > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I open additional tabs in Firefox Home? I can see the tabs screen but it's blank and I can't find a way of opening a page in a new tab. Using an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1.

How can I open more than one tab in Firefox Home on an iphone 4 with ios 4.3.1? I can access the tabs page but all the entries are blank and I can't find a way to open a new page in a new tab.

That doesn't fix the problem which seems to be more of a bug, but that's a great solution. In fact I think I like that more than right clicking. Thanks.

Firefox STILL does not open the home page when a new tab is selected

I have just 'upgraded' to FF4 and expected that the irritating 'new tab homepage load situation' would have been resolved by now: sadly, it looks to STILL be around.
MS IE has been loading the homepage DIRECTLY when a new tab is selected for about FOUR YEARS now, so I'm staggered that such a simple but very useful feature is not available in Firefox.
The obvious question is WHY??
In IE, you don't have to keep hitting the home page button to carry out a search in google when a new tab is selected, and IE does NOT need an 'add-on' to incorporate this functionality; it really is quite irritating that the function is still not built-in to FF, and the coding requiret to incorporate the function ain't rocked science Mozilla people - WHY has this not been put into effect by now?

Some people prefer a blank tab because it takes no time to load. Some people prefer their home page. Some people prefer a list of most frequently used sites. It would be convenient if all of these options were built in, but obviously no one stepped up and made it a priority.
By the way, another way to search in a new tab is: Using the search box (on the toolbar), after typing your query, either press Alt+Enter or Ctrl+click the magnifying glass. This opens the search in a new tab and saves that step.

How do I set the home page for a new tab?

How do I set the web page for when I open a new tab? Whenever I open a new tab it goes to an error site which freezes my firefox browser for a while. How do I change that? I want to open new tabs with google being the home page. I need to set up the homepage for a new tab NOT a new window. Please help! !

If Google is set as your Homepage in Firefox you can middle-click ''(push down on the mouse wheel)'' to open Google in a new Tab.
Or, you can add the feature to Firefox where clicking the New Tab button on the Tab Bar opens your Homepage in a new Tab. 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
And if you have a different Homepage set, this extension allows for any page you set in the extension's options to open when you use the new Tab button.

I want to open bookmarked pages in a new tab, like it used to, rather than having it replace the current page in the current tab. Ho do I do this?

In earlier verisions of Firefox, when I opened bookmarked pages, they opened in a new tab. Now, in version 6.0.1, when I open a bookmark, it opens in the current tab and replaces the page I am reading. I want the bookmarks to open in a new tab just like links open in a new tab. How do I do that?

Middle-click the bookmark with the mouse scroll wheel to open the link in a new tab.

How do I set up the 9 "home" pages on the "New Tab"

There are 9 "home" squares to pin 9 sites on the "New Tab", for easy access for favorite sites.
How can I pin these to stay in place, when I cannot even get them to show up in the blank spot?
I know how to "pin" tabs at the top and I know how to "pin" a page on the "New Tab" when it shows up, but I cannot force a page to show up in the blank spot.

When I highlight a word with the contextual "Search Google for", it opens up the Google home page in a new tab without giving results for the highlighted word. Instead it gives a blank search form.Is there a change in Firefox 6.0.2?

Mac OS 10.7.1, Firefox 6.0.2

Tried that. Also tried SUPERAntiSpyware, ccleaner, HitmanPro. Removed anything that was reported. Problem persists.
Chrome is also affected. But couldn't find any alternative way of not having Ask.com loaded as did in Firefox.
Internet Explorer was initially affected. After the Ask.com search engine is removed that problem appears to have gone away.
12/9/2014
Interestingly, yesterday afternoon the Chrome browner new tab no longer hijacked by Ask.com. The symptom was there in the morning and had gone away in the late afternoon. Nothing was done except a few days ago I blocked everything on that page. The problem with Firefox continue to persist I didn't do the same blocking on it. I am going to try the same and then use anti-spyware to clear away all cookies and see what happens.

How can i make firefox open to home page instead of "new tab"? My setting are correct, but it will not open to the home page.

No matter what I do, Firefox will not open to my home page. It always "new tab".
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Harold

You can try to delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case session restore tries to open an older session.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.

When I open Firefox, I get my home page and a new tab at the same time. Why the new tab also? Make it stop!

How may I set up Firefox so that when I launch the browser I get only my home page, and not an additional web page? Thank you

The MySearchDial extension has been reported to cause this issue.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] 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).

How do I replace my index (Home) page with a new page?

My iWeb site has a "Home" page as it's default index page. I renamed the page "Home4" and created a new "Home" page in hopes that the new page would become the default page. Nope, it still goes to "Home4".
Next, I tried deleting Home4, now I just get an error message when trying to go to the site.
I should mention that I deleted the Home4 page through the MobilMe website, not in iWeb. I see that there is an index.html file in the site directory which I "assume" is a redirect to what iWeb considers to be the "Default" page. But, I see no way to edit or even view the contents of the index.html page.

Bonjour
Your new home page need to be the first one at the top of the sidebar of iWeb.
Publish
iWeb will build a new index.html which redirects to the new home page

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
