Opening new tab brings up an address for trovi, not blank - how do I make it come up blank?
Clicking on + for a new tab brings up new window with an address for "www.trovi.com/?gd=&ctid=CT3330390&octid=EB_ORIGINAL_CTID&ISID=ME5D94D35-C1CF-4725-BACA-FCAEC896C9CE&SearchSource=69&CUI=&SSPV=&Lay=1&UM=6&UP=SP21818293-AADF-4EE4-9545-1512CA471401" highlighted. How do I make it come up blank?
Hi Guido1197, the new tab page doesn't follow the home page. Here's how you normally change it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
The problem is that a bad add-on will override the built-in setting, so usually you need to remove that first.

I had an old version of office so I tried to install a free download that will allow me to open docx files. Now when I try to open one and endless stream of tabs that say "New Tab" scrolls across the top of the page. How do I make it stop. I already went and got office 2010 but it is still doing it. It does not do it if I use Internet Exployer for the browser.

Since the last update (about a month or two ago) I have been unable open new tabs unless I find a webpage that takes me to a new link and therefore opens a new tab. It is highly annoying as I need to open multiple pages at once.
Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

I used the same installation file, but on 1 pc, the 'open new tab' button is available in the 'customize toolbar' menu and can be dragged and dropped onto the navigation bar. On the other pc, the 'open new tab' button/icon is not even available for dragging and dropping. I uninstalled firefox completely, including settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that did not correct the missing button.
Hi,
Please try '''Restore Default Set''' in the '''Customize...''' window. If it's still not visible, one reason could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar but may be hidden behind another icon or toolbar.

I click the + button to open a new tab and it doesn't do anything, not even open a new tab. I try to right click and open a new tab and still don't work. But if I right click a link and click open in new tab it will work. How do I get to open my tabs again with the + button?
Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
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 -
I downloaded the new version of Mozilla and tried to install an add-on to allow me to set the home page for new tabs. The app says it has downloaded but does not open new tabs as my home page (google) - any suggestions what I can do?
I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. 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!

I've used this custom navigation bar for nearly a decade. New versions of FireFox open new tabs when I navigate to different pages on my weather site. Very annoying!!! I've tried turning off tabs, but then it opens NEW WINDOWS! These links ARE NOT ENCODED TO OPEN IN NEW WINDOWS! What is causing this? Looks like I"m going to have to switch to Chrome or go back to IE, since nobody at Mozilla seems to care about this. They seem to think it is a good feature and not a bug. What gave you the right to decide to open new tabs at random times? If I click a link on a site that is on the same site I'm already on, and the link isn't coded for _blank, then it should open in the same window!
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.

When I open new tabs it is an AOL tab. I have Fire F as my homepage? How do I change this?
I set my home page to mozilla or yahoo, but when I open new tabs it keeps bringing up AOL search engine. I don't want this b/c it is useless and always brings up irrelevant search results. How do I change what tabs open up after homepage is set?
You should just be able to choose whatever search engine you prefer
* [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]]
There is however a possibility you may have some toolbar or other software installed that is changing setting. Initially look in your Firefox addons and Windows control panel for unwanted software

IE 11 open new tab opens new window, clicking open new tab opens black page in same tab
Hi I have a problem with IE11 on Windows 8.1 Desktop mode which is driving me crazy.
When i click on the open new tab button it will open in the same tab in the same window and you cant go to any website and the website on where on's address is still in the address bar.
Right click a link and select open new tab most of the time opens new window with long pause.
I have tried everything to fix this even re installing windows, but the problem persists after re install as i think its attaching itself to my Microsoft account.
I have disabled all add-ons run virus and walware scans reset IE to defaults removed and re-installed IE all to no avail!
Any help would be much appreciated.tried everything

My Firefox can no longer open new tabs. I click the icon but it does not work. How can I fix this?
The "+" icon that opens new tabs does not open a tab.
With Firefox version 4 and 5, the default setting is ''not'' to ask the question for saving the session. You can get back that behavior by modifying the options as below:<BR><BR>
# In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter.
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of options.
# In the '''Filter''' textbox at the top, type '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''
# You will be presented with the entry for '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose'''. If its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''.
# Repeat these steps for options''' browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning''' and set their values to '''true'''. -
Opening new tab does not display my home page by default, what setting do I change to achieve this?
When selecting the open new tab option, in the past, the tab opened displaying my designated home page. It now opens displaying a YAHOO! search page. My home page settings have not changed and continue to display the correct address, selecting 'home' brings up the correct home page, at any time during browsing. Is there another location where this 'invalid' new tab address might be listed, and removed or reset ?
VC you are a genius! I solved my problem with your solution.
