There's a new feature of most visited sites showing when you open a new tab and mine (all 9 boxes) is blank now, I don't want it to be, what do I do?

I don't have any other details.

Is the disk cache enabled and working?
You can check the cache usage on the about:cache page and you can also check the value of the browser.cache.disk.enable pref on the about:config page.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/thumbnails-on-new-tab-page-are-missing
The thumbnails on the about:newtab page are generated from the cache, so if the page is not in the cache or otherwise can't or won't (secure pages) be rendered as a PNG image then you will get an empty box. 
*Do not use Clear Recent History to clear data like the cache and the history when you close Firefox
If there is no history then you get an about:newtab page with empty boxes (no URLs).

The drop-down list displays items from your History and/or Bookmarks.
You can control what shows (or nothing at all): Options > Privacy, "Location Bar" section. Options are:

How to stop firefox from going to a URL your most is hovering over when you type in a URL and press enter.

When you open a new tab and begin to type a url to visit, if your mouse is hovering over any of the suggested results when you press enter, instead of firefox going to the url you have typed, it goes to the url that the mouse was hovering over.
Is there a way to disable this functionality as it is annoying when you are say, trying to access youtube or google, but then you goto a completely different page from your history because your mouse was hovering over a suggested result.

@philipp:
I restarted in safe mode with all add-ons disabled and the problem still persists. Apparently a friend also seems to have this problem.
How to reproduce (to the best of my knowledge)
1) click on url bar
2) start typing part of a url which generates many results from history
3) mouse over one of the results (usually the first as thats where the mouse is after clicking on the url bar)
4) press enter with autofilled url in url bar
What happens is say that i start typing "goo" for google.com, firefox will auto complete with http://google.com, but since my mouse is hovering over a historic google search result it opens what ever my mouse is hovering over even though the url bar says "http://google.com"

Never used it myself, so I'm not sure if you can set to about:home or not. You'll have to give it a try.

Need to restore the feature of most visited sites shown upon opening a new tab

I have checked through my add-ons and can't find the solution. I've read answers that state go to the about: config. I can't find that either. I simply want my most visited sites upon opening a new tab feature restored. Help, please.

Hello tee6942, is about:config not about: config (no space between : and config)
in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-find-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs Location bar], type [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config 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.
type '''browser.newtab.url''' in the search box, and then '''right-click on it '''and select '''reset'''.

How can i view icons of recently visited url's when I open a new tab?

It seems that it is possible when you click to open a new tab to view automatically the recent url's you have visited, as icons. Is this a feature of Firefox or Google? How does one set this up? Right not when I open a new tab I get only a blank page.

Not a Firefox feature, must be from the Google Toolbar extension - which is now at version 7, so you might want to update from the GTB5 version you seem to have installed now.

When you open a new tab, how do you change the site it goes to?

My Daughter downloaded accidently a tool bar, Searchqu.com. I have removed the tool bar and application, and reset the homepage. However when I open a new tab it defaults to http://www.searchqu.com/, how do I change this? I have tried resetting it to default and it does not help.

Did you try opening '''about:config''' and filtering on the url (or part of it) to see if there is a configuration variable involved.
How did you remove the toolbar and application, did you have to go into the control panel or did an extension sim,ply uninstall..

How do you get rid of Facemoods Enchanced search when you open a new tab? I want Bing.

My homepage is Bing but every tme I open a new tab Enchanced search appears.

Hello Cheiftan7778,
If you get Facemoods when you open new tabs, this is how to remove:
In Firefox- go to Tools--> Add-ons--> select Facemoods and click on options--> click Advanced- Custom installation--> Uncheck the tab option.
In Explorer- Click on the Facemoods icon on left corner of the toolbar, then click Reset New Tab.
You can contact us at Facemoods for further help: [email protected]
Thanks,

How can I customize the URL you land on when you open a new tab

Right now when I open a new tab the URL is (about:newtab which gives me the option to search yahoo.com) and I would like to land on www.google.com (as this is more useful for me). Can I customize the landing page for when I open new tabs?

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. 
''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
Put BrandThunder.com in the searchbar at the top, then right-click and select '''Reset''' for any preferences that appear with BrandThunder.com. Then restart Firefox.

How do I get back my most common used websites when I open a new tab?

When I used to open a new tab I used to get my most frequent websites come up on the new screen. Now when I do it I get a search engine page (similer to google) come up. I would much rather the list of my most used websites. Thank you.

See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can reset some preferences including the browser.newtab.url to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

How can i turn of the sound when you open a new tab?

What is happening since today:
Every time I open a new tab and it's done loading it gives a short "bloink" or whatever to call it.
How do I turn it off?
Thanks in advance for any tip you guys can give me.

That must be coming from the Windows operating system, as Firefox has one sound by default - for Type Ahead Find / Find As You Type.
Unless you have an extension installed that added that sound feature, check Sounds and Audio Devices in the Win 7 Control Panel.

How do I get back the tab feature that has my most used webpages because when I open a new tab now, the page is blank. thanks. Annette craker

After an update a few weeks ago, the tab feature that used to come up with boxes with my most used pages e.g. Facebook, Ebay, and many others just isn't there anymore. I can't find how to get this feature back. Please help.

Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.
To get a similar feature search http://addons.mozilla.org for '''new tab page''' or '''Speed dial''' extensions.

When you open a new tab, it opens "blank". Is there a way to have it open a pre-set page, like the homepage for example?

Using your help system, it points out "pinned tabs". This may provide a useful alternative. However, my question stands, and I think the original Q is clear enough.
Thanks
Al

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at one of these extensions:
* NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

I've lost the ability to add new sites, change display size, etc. of sites shown when I open a new tab. What am I doing wrong?

At some point my ability to add sites from the new tab page, change site displayed sizes, etc. has stopped working. I liked this feature. What changed or what am I doing wrong?

Do you still see the about:newtab page with the 3x3 tiles?
Did you modify the number of rows and columns on this page?

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.
