Setting new tab page
For some reason now whenever i open a new tab, instead of bringing me to the default mozzila one it brings me to a trovi search site, the same page poped up for my home page but i could fix that, any help
Hello,
Please see:
* http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/
If you find your new tab page is still set to trovi, you can change that in your Firefox configuration. In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
# 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.
# Search for '''browser.newtab.url''' and modify (by double clicking the row or right clicking and select Modify) the preference so that the value is '''about:newtab''', or a site of your choice.

When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page
When clicking the + tab in the tab bar how do I set new tabs to automatically open my home page
You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar. -
Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
*browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
*browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

how do I set the new tab page to a page of my choice?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How Do I Pin A Tile To My New Tab Page, Instructions On Here Do Not Work.
These new FF updates are going to drive me to drink. It's a simple question, one would think, yet I cannot find the answer. FF29 has "tiles", I suppose they are called, when you click on "new tab page". At one point, I had them all on there...how, I don't remember.
Now, my "tiles" are disappearing. I have changed NOTHING. How do I re-add the websites I want to those tiles?
Before someone gives me the generic answer with the link, I will tell you that I already went to this link: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Those instructions do not work. I do not have any little pin in those squares. When I go to a website that I usually go to, the only option I get is "Pin Tab" but that only adds a tab at the top of the browser window, it does NOT add it to the tiles, like I want.
I've tried the "Show All Bookmarks" route, and tried to drag the bookmark to a tile, it does NOT work.
There are 9 tiles. If I want to change them around, or re-add the 4 that have mysteriously disappeared today, HOW do I do that? Again, those blank tiles do NOT show a "pin" anywhere. They were set up, then they started to disappear. Again, I've changed NOTHING. It should not be this difficult to add a website to my tiles on my new tab page.What troubleshooting information would you like. I posed a question, you tell me what you would like to see.
I know how to open my about:config, this isn't my first time on the internet.
You said: "You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page to see if it still has the default about:newtab value."
Yes, it does. What else would you like to know so that this can be fixed?
I also stated in my very first post that the link you just linked to, (that I also linked to so everyone was aware of what link I'm talking about), I already tried and it doesn't work. Do you guys even read what we put up or do you just hand out random, generic answers? -
My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
My New Tab Page does not work at all. I just have the empty squares with nothing in them at all?
I know how to use about:config & have had the usual problems with newtab page tiles but this is more like a bug- using 33.0.1. Doesn't show tiles icon in top right corner just shows a gear that is used to hide the empty tiles that I can't fill with sites. First it would only show 2 rows of 4 columns even though I had it set to 5 & 6 then few days later for no reason they went empty with a serrated line around the tiles & can't drag from the bookmarks---- really bloody annoying!!!!!!! Possibly a setting in the about:config but i can't fig it out?Reset Firefox to its default state
If you're having major problems which you can't resolve, start fresh with only your essential information.

How do I display more icons on the New-Tab page? I tried about:config
The New-Tab page I see doesn't match what FF shows in help. I changed rows and columns and nothing changed.
Hello,
With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page and will limit the tiles based on what you entered for your rows and columns in the '''about:config''' page:

Is it possible to have the new tab page appear by default when Firefox starts?
Can Firefox be set to display the new tab page when starting the browser? In Options > General, the only choices under "When Firefox starts" is show the home page, a blank tab, or restore previous session.
Alternately, can the new tab page be set as the home page?You can add "about:newtab" to the Firefox shortcut on the desktop.

Why does a new tab page open along with my home page?
When I go online, I expect to have only my home page open, instead, I have two tabs, my home page tab and New Tab and the New Tab page is the page that actually opens. This just started yesterday, why??
Did you check the home page setting to make sure that it is still correct?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
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.
You can check for problems with preferences.

How to make new tab page look like FF 32?
How do I get the new tab page to use smaller tiles consolidated in the middle of the screen like they appeared before updating to FF 33?
I find if much easier to work with the more compact placement of tiles. I understand that some users prefer larger thumbnails and find the scaled tiles to be beneficial, however, I find the older, more compact arrangement to work with.
I already use the Classic Theme Restorer plug-in to get rid of the Australius UI "enhancements," as I find them distracting and inconsistent with my overall system configuration. In general, I like my UI to be compact, and usually prefer corners to the rounded elements that are becoming increasingly common design elements.Unfortunately, I don't think that there is an add-on that does specifically what you want. With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:

When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?
If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

how to add new tab page like Partners ?In that fields like sold to party,ship to party ?
Could anybody help me in this regards
Thank you
suribabuIn Equipment category creation config in IMG, check for the View Profile for both the equipment category S & K.
For adding new tab, follow the IMG path.
PM & CS => Master data => Technical Objects => General Data => Set view profiles for Technical objects
Select the View profile which has been assigned to your equipment category & click Activity & layouts of views. In that screen, under seq.no, select the Partners.
Do the same for other requried tabs based on your requirement.
If there are same profile assigned to both equipment category, go to equipment creation creation => Edit => view selection. There you will find the required tabs. -
How do I set new tabs to BLANK? Why did you remove that choice from me?
FF 5.0
There use to be an option to set new tabs to blank.
How do I do that now that you removed the option.
I tried the obvious (?) of setting the new tab to "about:blank" and it still comes up with what ever search engine is paying you money.
I even tried an add on to set it to blank. That didn't work either.
Are we no longer allowed to have a clean, fast loading new page?Firefox always Opens a New Tab in a Blank page. You must have some add-on installed that's making the new tab to not open as Blank.

I had set up my new tab page with an image I uploaded. It worked fine for months, if not years.
Today, I got a 'crash' that asked me to start Firefox in 'safe' mode or 'restore'. I chose 'restore'.
Thereupon, my image was gone from my new tab page. I cannot find how to restore it, and add ons that supposedly allow me to add my own image are not helpful. At least, I cannot figure them out.
Can you provide help on a computer for dummies level?Sounds that you have reset Firefox and created a new profile.
You can try to create a new profile or reset Firefox.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Managing+profiles

When you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
It is possible to recover more data from the old profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

Every time I open a new tab, it no longer shows the standard Firefox "new tab" page, but a search-website by Babylon. I don't know how to fix this.
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''.
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/
It's possible that ''Babylon ''will add itself to more than one place in '''about:config'''. Therefore, after completing the above steps, open about:config again, type "''babylon''" in the filter at the top and for every instance where you see a setting with that name in it, right click it and choose ''''''Modify ''''''and then ''''''Reset''''''. Then close Firefox and restart it. See example screenshot.
Babylon search and toolbar will be installed with an IM chat client called ''Digsby'' if you don't opt out of it during the installation. See the info at the foot of this page: http://techshali.com/digsby-instant-messenger-and-email-manager-social-networks/
