The pinned and unpinned pages on the "new tab" page are glitchy as hell.

When I try to move ANY of the pinned of unpinned pages on the "new tab" page, all of them go off their grid and move spastically as I try to pin a page to a certain spot. It's really hard to describe. I already opened and closed firefox, but that didn't solve the problem. Hell, I even updated Firefox with the most recent update, but it's still doing it. I managed to get my tabs where I want them, but if I want to add another it's going to be nearly impossible because the bottom line of the grid is completely beyond reach.

Hi KRenee, Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows:
#* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. '''Uncheck''' this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Thank you.

  • What is the shortcut key instead of using right-click on the link and selecting "Open Link in New Tab" from the context menu?

    I want to use from keyboard(to hold this for example T)and left-click on the link to open the link.Exactly my question is about "Opening links in a new tab".I prefer to use LEFT-click.thank you so so much.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

  • Everytime I open Firefox, I either get a not responding page or a new tab page that won't let me open any website.

    I am starting to get tired of not being able to use my Firefox web browser because everytime I do, it either opens and doesn't respond or it opens but it doesn't let me access any website or even my bookmarks.
    I am having to use Google Chrome (which I do not like) but I can't update anything because I am not using Firefox or Internet Explorer.

    Hi akadeejay,
    probably your Internet security software (firewall or/and antivirus, antispyware) preventing Firefox from connecting to internet, see:

    the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
    1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
    2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
    3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
    4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
    5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
    I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

  • New tab page will not remember any frequently visited sites

    Before the update to 34.0.5, the new tab page worked fine. Now it will not remember any pages I go to. Dragging bookmarks over just opens the bookmark. Remember history is on.

    '''Found my own answer: '''
    The update to Firefox version 34.0.5 changed the way zoom works for the New Tab page. My visited sites are being saved, but I have to zoom out several levels to see them. I have to do this ''every time ''I open the New Tab page.
    To customize the default zoom for my tabs, I tried the NoSquint add-on first. It worked for every page except the New Tab page.
    '''Google search for:''' firefox new tab page zoom add-on
    '''Returned:''' Default FullZoom Level :: Add-ons for Firefox
    Default FullZoom Level&rarr;User Reviews&rarr;'''Find On This Page search for:''' New Tab Page
    '''Returned: '''"...this extension applies the selected default zoom in the preferences to the new tab page..." Firebird, ''a Firefox user''
    The Default FullZoom Level add-on has resolved my issue.

  • Pinned/saved websites in the "new tab page" disappear when restarting PC

    I'm having some problems with the new tab page. I pinned 9 websites that I use on a regular basis but this morning when I went online again, the pinned websites weren't on that page any more, instead, random websites.
    How do I save them ?

    Hi,
    Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites this] for the optimal configuration of the new tab page. If you installed any new privacy '''Extensions''', or a Windows history/privacy cleaner application, you can also try to adjust its settings.

  • My new tab page is missing and now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about. Help!!

    I use to have the grid of pinned webpages whenever I clicked on the X of a new tab page. Now it's gone. I figured out if I typed about:newtab in the Awesome bar it would restore the page, but not all the time. Now when I type about:newtab in the Awesome bar I get a page called about:about...and I don't want that. How can I get my pinned websites back on my New tab page?

  • How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

    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)

    I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

    Then no information exists.  Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

  • When trying to open a link in the page I am on and open it in a new Tab the browser stops responding.

    I open the browser and the Hime Page opens as expected. When I open a link to an item or article on the page in a new Tab Firefox stops responding and thye top line on the screen shows that to be the case. The only way to resolve the issue is to exit or close Firefox and start again. This has just started yesterday (Oct 12) as before that the process worked fine.
    When I open a new Tab and then type in a new web site it will open and allow access with no problem, provided I have not open a link as outlined in the first paragraph. I can open several tabs in this manner and Firefox works as expected. But if I try to link from any page and open in a new Tab i get the "not responding" situation again.
    After closing Firefox so I can restart it, the browser will open but the first screen will be a blank tab rather than my home page. I can open web sites and Firefox proceeds as expected as long as I do not try to open a link from within the page in a new Tab. I get the same "Not responding" situation.
    If I immediately close Firefox after it opens without my homepage and then restart it then my home page will open as expected.
    I have not made any changes to programs or setups in Firefox or on my computer in the immediate time before the problem started.

  • 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.

  • Recently 3.6 keeps the tab for the default page and won't let me close it, squeezing new pages to a new tab too narrow to use.

    Whatever startup page I specify for 3.6.11, when I attempt to move to a new page (not a new tab), the new page opens as a new tab in the left third or so of the window, with the startup page occupying the rest. The startup-page tab contains no "X" to close it and the close option is greyed out, so I cannot get rid of it or expand the page I want to fill the window. If opening a third page, I can then close the startup page tab but not the new-page tab, so I always have at least two tabs open and cannot see all of the page I want.

    Thanks for the heads up, Kappy.
    But just so everyone knows: my old Extreme (bought in March 2005!) was working with my laptop (10.9.2) and our ipad Air (7.1) until the cable company pushed through an upgrade. That apparently fried their cable modem (which they replaced with a newer model) and my Extreme. I used Airport Utility 5.5.2 on a 10.6.8 bootable external drive to check its settings, which were unchanged, but it refuses to function properly–its 3 lights flash constantly, which my manual says is abnormal.
    Anyway, it had a good run. I've ordered a new AEBS. Does any outfit repair old base stations? I could donate it...
