Weird search browser in new tab

When I open a New Tab, there's always some kind of search engine I never used. First it was " Chatzum " and now it's some kind of magnifying glass with a spinning color wheel. When I go to work I use FireFox also and when I open a new Tab it give new all my common used web pages.
So I really want to remove those web browser out.
Please help

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Search results in new tab

How to display results typed to my search bar in new tab? It's probably changing something in about:config but what should I be looking for?

Does it help if you toggle browser.search.openintab to true on the about:config page?

How can I get Firefox to automatically open a new search in a new tab please?

How can I get Firefox to automatically open a new search in a new tab please? [Without me manually opening the tab]

For searches from the Search Bar, when you use the Enter key.
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.''
Pref = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true'''

Open search links in new tab

Ever since the last "update" 33.1 then 33.1.1 I've been unable to just clink a link in a Google search and a new tab opens why? Is it because Firefox is no longer going to use Google as it's prime search engine and it's a sneaky way of getting people to use Yahoo?

Did you disable all added toolbars and anti-virus add-ons?

How do you have Google searches appear in new tab? This was previously not a problem, but it changed and I cannot return the setting. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a second hand new macbook air, although it was second hand to me the previous owner had never actually turned it on.
Something doesn't make sense here, though I'm not saying the previous owner is lying....
Time to send your serial # to iTS and let them see what's happening here.

How to use about:config to REMOVE Delta Search from my new tab

I am desperate to remove Delta Search from my new tab page. What do I do after I open about:config? I have done at least a dozen resets, have removed DS via add/remove, am running a virus scan at present...this is TERRIBLE, and there HAS to be a way to get rid of it. When I do a reset, the new tab page is what I WANT...my previously saved pages. However, when I CLOSE FF and reopen, the new page is, once again, Delta. Can you hear me SCREAM? Can you see my TEARS? I am really fed up. Thanks for getting back to me with a solution that WORKS. jo

Why should we have to do this? I ticked the box that said I didn't want to install it. You, Delta Search, are a bunch of troublesome low lifes.

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

I am not sure what you want. Do you want to open links in a new
tab / window, or the same window you are in?
Type '''about:preferences#general'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Check the settings under''' Tabs'''

New search result in new tab

I had firefox set that each time I clicked on a web site listed in a Google search result, it would open in a new tab. Now for some reason it does not work and I can't find the setting.

For the Google website you can set your preferences on the [http://www.google.com/preferences?hl=en Google Search settings] page:
*Number of Results: Google's default (10 results) provides the fastest results.
*Results Window: Open search results in a new browser window.
* Such details are stored in a cookie.
* To keep such a setting you need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
* Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"

Right-click Google search - put in new tab or window??

Safari has a feature that allows one to right-click on some text and then Google that text. When using that feature, it Googles the text, but the new webpage of the Google search for that text appears in the same browser window that one was originally in.
When I go into "Preferences," there is an option for links to be opened in a new window or new tab, but I don't see any place to choose to have the right-click-Googling feature open the search results into a new window or tab.
Does anyone know whether it's possible to have the right-click Google results appear in a new tab or window?

I find this annoying as well... I love Firefox and truly appreciate the developers work on it, but why would you re-arrange the order of these two options?? It's like making a new model of a car and putting the brake on the right and gas pedal on the left.....

How do i get rid of Claro-Search taking over NEW TAB function?

Claro-Search took over our Firefox settings when opening NEW TAB.
I already took back the general internet search Navigation Bar and default sign on page. But I cannot find out how Claro-Search.com is using the New Tab.

Hi Calrosearch (typo?), it's curious that the images on that page are hosted on babylon.com. Is there a family relationship between Claro search and the often discussed Babylon software?
The video only covers one of the steps on the removal page, so that certainly could be improved.
I noticed in the instructions on this separate page that users might also need to remove a toolbar (using the Firefox Add-ons > Extensions page): http://www.claro-search.com/uninstall.htm
I'm not sure it's fair to characterize the cleanup as "easy." Allow me to summarize:
''On Windows''
(0) Use the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Settings to uninstall the "Browser Manager" program.
''In Firefox''
(1) Check for any unwanted/unknown Extension (e.g., "Claro Toolbar" or "Browser Manager") here and remove it:
(WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions 
(MAC)(LINUX) Tools > Add-ons > Extensions
(2) To remove any unwanted search engine plugin, click the icon at the left of the search bar and use Manage Search Engines. Then choose your preferred default search engine on the drop-down list.
(3) To reset your home page, use the "Restore to Default" button (if you want the built-in Firefox home page) here:
(WIN) orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > General tab 
(MAC) Firefox > Preferences > General tab 
(LINUX) Edit > Preferences > General tab
If you prefer a different home page, you can paste the URL there or if you are viewing the page(s) you want, you can click the Use Current Pages button to store all tabs in the current window as your home page(s). More info: [[How to set the home page]].
(4) To reset the behavior of the "new tab" you can use these steps:
(A) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab''
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
browser.newtab.url = about:home
''(iv) Any other page''
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
(5) While you have the about:config tab open, you can filter on '''claro''' and adjust any other relevant settings back to your preferred setting.
(6) If your changes are reverted after your next restart of Firefox, you may also need to edit or delete a settings file in your personal Firefox settings folder (AKA Firefox profile folder).
To access the folder, use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button.
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''user.js''' to something like user.old (or just delete it).
Restart Firefox and repeat steps (3) - (5) if needed. Hopefully for the last time.
That's a lot to expect from a user who may not even have realized they were installing the product and if they did what that would mean for their browsing experience. I'm sure if this happened to you unexpectedly, you would be aggravated, too.

When I select a part of a text and click in "Search Google", a new tab is opened. I don't like the switch. I want the search result in a background page.

When I select a part of a text in a page, use the right button of mouse and click in "Search Google for "the text"", I want a new tab open in a NEW TAB BACKGROUND. How do I set that? Thanks.

Ok, I found a reply about it in
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/952403
"hello, its possible to achieve this through the settings in firefox - just enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.search.context.loadInBackground'''. double-click it and change its value to '''true'''. "
Thanks!

When I close my browser a New Tab jumps up. How can I stop this?

When I close my browser, instead of closing, it shows a new tab not visible before. How can I get rid of this? I would just like to close it when I close it - without having to close it twice.
Operating System: win 8.1
Browser: Firefox

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder
'''Linux:'''
* [http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/see_all_your_installed_applications_ubuntu_unity Ubuntu Unity]''' {web link}
* Xfce: Applications Menu category sections
* options depends on the package manager and the desktop environment
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

Cursor focus is changed to address bar instead of google search box on new tabs in FF 17.

I've seen several threads that describe the same issue - the cursor appears in the address bar by default on a new tab. I have not seen a single solution. Mozilla needs to sort this out because it's very annoying.
This started happening only after I updated to FF 17. Until that point the cursor was in the google search box. It was just a FF update, no new extensions or add-ons. The only workaround I have is the Custom New Tab extension.
I just don't want to have to install new extensions to add functionality every time they update to a new version that creates new issues. FF already lacks some basic tab management functionality which forces me to use extensions s.a Tab Utilities. It's been 17 versions already and FF still doesn't let me set up new tabs from Bookmarks, Address bar, etc, or multi-row tabs / bookmarks, new tab position / focus, right-click menu options, etc etc etc. Just don't make it worse guys.

Why is the default behavior designed to behave that way? That is very annoying and many people have complained about this.
For years the cursor in a new window or new tab would go to the first text menu like for me in the Google search box. This was always the way in Firefox till I started using 17.0.1 in Windows 7.
It seems like this could be addressed and I doubt this was suppose to be the default behavior.
It is actually one of the most annoying things about Firefox now, as this was something I use to do alot was start a new tab and start typing my search right away or just hit ctrl-v to paste something I'd just copied. Now that goes in the address bar and makes me spend more time fixing the bad address and stupid search results from that.
Please someone give us a solution.
