Want new tab to open homepage

When I open a new tab, how do I get it to open my homepage?

I found this add-on to be of great help without having to do anything else, but to install it. I have v.12 and it works great!

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*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 or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

I want new tabs to open with my current homepage, not Bing - how do I change this?

Whenever I open a new tab I always get the Bing search page. I would prefer all new tabs to open my homepage - how do I do that? Is this a default setting that can't be changed?

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 this extension:

I want new tabs to open with my homepage (not just new windows).

I've set FF to open new windows with my home page. How can I get FF to do the same with new tabs?

Tried 2 hrs now, can't fix it: I want new tabs to open google, not blank page; dwnldng an add-on didn't work, & now config has many CT2504091 files, what next?

Currently, opening a new tab goes to a blank search page with an annoying advertisement, and I want it to open a new tab in google.com.
I've tried for over 2 hrs to fix this, following instructions I found. Nothing has worked.
I downloaded an add-on, but it did not work.
I then used about:config and tried changing "newtab" and "keyword" but those changes did not work.
I now see that the config list has dozens and dozens of files beginning CT 2504091, and I am wondering if those should be there.
I now fear i am making things worse if I keep trying, so I am writing to you.
Alos, I am reluctant to use the "reset" option because it says "will TRY to keep bookmarks," and my wife will NOT be happy if all her banking and other bookmarks disappear upon reset.
thanks in advance for your help.

You likely have a user.js file in the profile folder, this may sound like jargon now but the steps below shall fix this.
REMOVAL OF ADVERT
# Go to the Firefox Button and hover help, click "Troubleshooting information"
# A new page should now show similar to below.
# Under the Application Basics section, click on Show Folder. A window with your profile files will open.
# Go to the file named user or user.js, right click and delete.
# Now restart Firefox, and the advert should be removed.
If it isnt please use the searchreset tool linked below.
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
* Just install it and it does extra work if above didnt work.
CHANGING TO GOOGLE.COM
# 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.
# Type '''browser.newtab.url''' and double click the result of that name, a new window should now show, enter www.google.com into that window then hit OK.
# Does opening a new tab go to google.com now?

Want new tabs to open with my home page

although firefox opens with my home page, new tabs open with blank pages instead of my home page. how do i make new tabs open with my home page. i use windows vista.

You can do this with an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/ NewTabURL].

How can I get my new tabs to open to my homepage?

When I open a new tab, I want the tab to open straight to my set homepage. For example, my homepage is set to Yahoo.com, so when I open a new tab, how can I make it so that tab will open right to Yahoo.com?

Not an efficient way of using Firefox, in my opinion. There used to be a configuration option to do that but that no longer works, but either of these two extensions will do that.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777 New Tab Homepage]
(7KB), or
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221 NewTabURL] (47KB).
What I think would be better is to only open your home page when Firefox first opens. To open a Yahoo page later, use a keyword shortcut -- see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]

How do i set new tabs to open with default homepage

I want each tab I open to default to Google. I can do this with IE, is it possible with Firefox

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/2221
* New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777

How do I set the new tab to open my homepage?

If I press a new tab, it opens a whole selection of windows of recently browsed stuff, whereas I just want my search page repeated.

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

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/

How do I set new windows to open my homepage, but new tabs to open blank?

I have my browser set to restore the previous session when I open Firefox, and new tabs to open blank. With these settings, I used to be able to open new windows and have my homepage load, while keeping the behaviors previously mentioned intact, but when I open a new window now, I get a blank page.
Is there any way to restore the previous behavior, or are all tabs now seen as the same now, whether they're opened as part of new windows or existing windows?

(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 change from the default (about:newtab) to '''about:blank'''.
You can test immediately by pressing Ctrl+t or clicking the "+" button.

How do I get Firefox to open new tabs with my homepage instead of the top sites?

When I open a new tab, I get the top sites page. I want this to open to my home page.
I already changed my home page in the tool and when I go to it now, it still says what I want my home page to be, but new tabs still open wrong

By default in Firefox a new tab opens a blank page. You have something installed which changed that action, and that "something" sounds like it may not be working correctly.

I'm using FF 3.5.18 and I do not want newer versions because : using in the Open in New Tab page opens the near tab and not as a FF 3.5.18 or is it possible to do that open in new tabs would be the end. of the new FF version

You can change a preference to make tabs open
# at the end of all open tabs
# immediately after the current tab.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
*Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
*If you see the warning, accept it (promise to be careful).
*Filter = browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
*Look at the "Value" column ('''false'''=open at end, '''true'''=open after current tab); Value = true is the default.
*Double-click that preference to toggle the value from true to false, or false to true
*Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

I want new links to open in main window and not open a new browser or tab. What happened to the "open new links in..." option?

And when you right click on a link, the only options are "open link in new tab" or "open link in new window". I want to open the link in the same tab, I don't need 16 tabs opened at the same time.

I fixed this problem. It was pretty easy.
First, in the address bar, type in " about:config " .
When it asks if you are sure about making changes & it may void the warranty, click "yes--I promise I'll be careful" or something along those lines. (I heard there is no warranty, & it's just a joke)
Once you get to the new screen, find " browser.link.open_newwindow "
You will see the # 3 on the same line. Change that value to 1.
Wah-la! :)

I want a new tab to open as my home page not multiple pages

I want any new tab to open with my home page google and not multiple pages which are of no interest to me. It seems if you switch the option off you only get a blank page. If you use the add on feature it does not now work. this 'upgrade' is a nuisance.

'''Home page in New Tab''' 
There have been several ways suggested to do that, but the easiest for many users has been this add-on --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab
'''Additional question/comment''' 
Paddy71 said: ''"If you use the add on feature it does not now work."''
If you are referring to the search in the Add-ons Manager (''Firefox button > Add-ons'' or ''Tools > Add-ons'') that problem seems to have been corrected late yesterday afternoon. If you are referring to something else, you will need to give more details about what you are trying to do, the steps your are taking, what are the results of your action(s), and what you expect as a results.
