How do i change the new tab homepage?

How can I change the new tab homepage ?

how can I change the " new tab " homepage

By default Firefox uses a blank page in a new tab. Something you installed changed that to I-PLAY. You need to figure out what changed that, and get rid of it. Start with this. <br />

What is the default setting for the new tab homepage in firefox?

My browser got hijacked, I need to reset it and I can't locate what this default setting is. I would like to use the new firefox tab layout page.

Thanks so much, it worked! <3

When opening Firefox one of my homepages is often replaced by the new tab.

For the last several versions of Firefox one of my two homepages on opening the browser is frequently replaced by a new tab; clicking on the home icon always opens the missing homepage (along with a second copy of the other one that is open), but this is now getting annoying. I was hoping an update would fix the problem, but of course this has not happened.
The problem began several FF versions ago just about the same time I updated CCleaner, so I considered the possibility that the latter was deleting something that interferred with my FF tabs; after having uninstalled that version of CCleaner, however, and reinstalled the previous one - the use of which had never coincided with the tab problem - the continued issue with the new tab was clearly not due to CCleaner, so I could only assume that the problem was with FF itself. (Note: I had not installed any new plug-ins or extensions at the time the problem began.)
Thanks.

Hello All.
I cannot be sure if it is related, or indeed is the cause of the problem with the new tab, but in the last couple of days it has become evident that Google has been modifying some pages, including the Gmail logon page.
1) Yesterday I found that on the logon page the field for the password had gone; the username field was there with a blue button below it saying 'Next', which I had to use to bring up the password field;
2) Today, after attempting to login to my e-mail, I was taken to a security checkup/update page for my account, which I completed - except for providing a 'recovery phone number' - but I was given no way of getting into my e-mail; if I logged out and in again I was again taken to the same security update page. Eventually, I went to a google support page via a search engine and saw a link for Gmail that took me straight into my e-mail - I was still logged in - and I replaced the Gmail address for my Firefox homepage again and now I can get into my e-mail. (Part of my problem here may have been that I refused to give a phone number; the form asked me to complete it by adding a number, which I would have to have verified so I could not fake it, i.e. 01234...)
Given how long I have had the new tab problem - since at least FF32.0 - Google may not be the problem, but changes such as I have described do sometimes take some time and can clearly cause problems. Are any of you Gmail users?
Ian.

Want to be able to open tabs in multiple rows, rather than in a single row. I used tab mix plus before, but it says it is not compatible with New tab Homepage. The older version of Firefox allowed this very easily.

How can I return my new tab to the default blank page?

My brother did something which made the new tab page a Yahoo search page. I'd much rather it be the blank page, selecting the address bar. I downloaded the newtabURL add-on and selected the option blank page, highlighting the URL, along with some other stuff and saved it. When I restarted though, Yahoo was still my default new tab option.
I have no idea where this is coming from, I've checked my add-on list, control panel, and extensions list and cannot find anywhere he set Yahoo to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help, and please state some of the obvious solutions I might have overlooked.

In FF 7.0.1, the New Tab button on the Tab Strip disappeared after clicking the Tab Group icon and trying to return, so I'm looking for advice on how to get the New Tab to reappear on the Tab Strip.

In Windows Vista, FF 7.0.1, I selected the Tab Group button to try it out. However, when I selected the Tab Group button again to close that view, the New Tab button in the Tab Strip no longer appears. I'm requesting help to restore the New Tab button (has the "+" sign on it) on the Tab Strip just to the right of the currently open tabs.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button that shows as a plus sign (+) from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
If you can't find the New Tab button then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the Customize window.
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible space to the left of it.

I do not have the "new Tab" showing alongside my exsisting Tab(s) How do I get it back?

I cannot open a new Tab because the "New Tab" is not showing alongside my existing Tabs.
I can open a new tab with crtl T and by going File - New Tab.
I am running latest Firefox.
I think this problem occurred when it updated from the beta 5 that I was running.
Beta 5 was removed because it did not return me to my home page on restarting. It brought up my last visited page

Firefox is customizable, you can drag the new tab button from one toolbar to another or return it to the customize dialog box. When on the Tabs Bar bar it looks like a Plus sign with a black "+", when on the navigation bar it looks like a white "+" and a black background of filing cabinet folder. Look at the [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/icons/fx4toolbars.png Before/After] customizations of my own toolbars. I think you have the new tab button next to the tabs but with tabs bar on top it is so confusing.
You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

How can I eliminate the "new tab" when I open Firefox to my preset Home Page?

I have Firefox installed on a desktop and a netbook. On the desktop, when I launch Firefox it takes me to my homepage, and that is the only tab open. On the netbook, it opens to the homepage correctly, but there is also a second, blank tab, carrying the header "New Tab", just as though I had clicked on the "New Tab" icon in the toolbar. Since my homepage is a specialized search engine which opens each result in a new tab of its own, having the blank one already in place is annoying. How do I stop it from opening on launch?

Make sure that there isn't a pipe symbol appended to the home page setting.

Sir, i set the speed dial in home page,but when i open the new tab its show only the blank page,can you say the ways to show the speed dials whenever i open tab

plz say the way to set the speed dials which i set in home page whenever i open the new tab instead of blank page

Make sure the new tab feature is enabled:
* On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
* Set '''browser.newtabpage.enabled''' to '''true'''
To set the homepage to show the new tab page:
* Go to Firefox Menu > Preferences > General
* Set '''When Firefox starts''' to '''Show my Home page'''
* Set '''Home Page''' to '''about:newtab'''
So that a new tab opens the new tab page
* On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
* Set '''browser.newtab.url''' to '''about:newtab'''

How to make the new tabs to open the same URL as the startup page?

Hello!
I was wondering if it's possible to configure the Firefox in such a way that the new tabs open exactly the same URL that is typed in the Options. I tried to set browser.newtab.url to about:home but it gives me Firefox Google custom page instead of the startup page that I've set in the Options. Another way I tried is to set the browser.newtab.url value in about:config to the same URL as the startup page URL, but then if I change the URL in the options the new tab URL is not changed. So the question is whether it's possible to make the Firefox read the URL that is used for the startup page and go there when opening a new tab.

You can use a addon or about:config
<h2>Addon</h2>
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/‎
<h2>About:config</h2>
# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Enter '''browser.newtab.url''', double click the result.
# A new window should now show, enter your homepage url in the box, then hit ok.
# Open a new tab, does it work.
If prefs arent saved you need to read the [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] article.

I have tab mix plus and i have set the new tab to open my home page, no matter what i do I can't get the new tab of firefox to show up.

I can't get the new feature of firefox 13 of the new tab.

Find '''browser.newtab.url''' and double click on it (or right-click and select modify) and type your homepage you want, to open a new tab in your homepage.
thank you

How can I make New Tab Homepage work in Firefox 6.0 ?

I just upgraded to Firefox 6 beta and New Tab Homepage stopped working.

Or you can middle-click the toolbar Home button to open the home page(s) in a new tab.

When i press the new tab button I land on yahoo. I hate yahoo, how do I change the landing page for the new tab button?

When I pressed the new tab button, I use to land on google. I downloaded something that changed my new tab landing page. I now land on Yahoo. I hate yahoo!. How do I reset my landing page so I land on google when opening a new tab in Firefox.?

''New Tab button brings up Yahoo, want a different page''
First I would identify everything in about:config that refers to Yahoo.
Then I would remove everything about the Yahoo toolbar that is left that you don't want.
