When clicking for a new tab suddenly yahoo and pogo come on instead of google

Finally got rid of yahoo and pogo when going online but whenever I click on a new tab, they both come back

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • When I click for a new tab, the homepage is Search Yahoo...I never changed it to that. And I don't know how to get it back to Google. Help? Please!

    But when i open up Firefox, it does bring me to the firefox start up page, but if I click for a new tab it brings me to Search Yahoo

    Firefox's behavior is to open a blank page when you open a new tab. Your issue is most likely caused by one of the add-ons you have. Please see here: [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

    I HAVE A KEYBOARD COVER AND IF I NEED TO USE CERTAIN KEYS I HAVE TO SWITCH TO MY KEYBOARD CASE AND THAT IS VERY INCONVENIENT.
    IT IS ALSO A TIME WASTER.
    When you installed iOS 8 did you read about the new features? Applications can create custom keyboards…

    You need to look for an app that has a custom keyboard with the features you require, I suggest you find one without CAPSLOCK

    Again you need to look at how to manage the device - these settings can be turned off already & you can edit the 'suggestions' too.

    Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.

  • When I open a new tab it opens a Bing search windos instead og a blank page like it used to

    When I open a new tab it opens a Bing search window instead of a blank page like it used to.
    When FF starts it opens a blank page like it should, but if I click on the + to the right of the current tab is when the Bing tabs open. It's just a Bing search window not the Bing homepage. If needed I can submit a screenshot of the new page.
    I use 2 addons affecting tabs. Multiple Tab Handler, and Colorful Tabs.
    I think SlimBrowser is an IE based browser.
    I use Win pro 64 bi on a HP laptop and FF 3.6.8
    I've never had this problem all the years I used FF until now
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks
    Floyd

    This is not just an Add-on problem! It's not in my Add-ons. It isn't in my Program Files. Not one single solution I've found on any of the forums has resolved the problem for myself or many others. This is extremely aggravating, and I want it gone!

  • How can I change my settings so that when I open a new tab, it opens a designated home page instead of a blank 'Untitled' page?

    I want to be able to set my Firefox tabs so that when I open a new tab, it displays my home page. Right now, when I open a new tab, I get a blank page that's just 'Untitled'.

    You can look at one of these extensions:

    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • When I click for a new tab this window now opens ... "chrome://nspdlmsd/content/newtab/newtab.html" - I want it to go back to being a blank page.

    As above.
    For the past few days now, whenever I click 'open new tab' in firefox it opens immediately at the url posted above. I did, unsuspectingly which is how they get you if you are not careful, installed MySearchDial but removed it completely through add/remove and start/search. I even have new windows opening up with content I do not like at all ... my home page is the same again, but I cannot seem to figure out how to get my new tab to open in a blank page again (btw at the bottom of this 'chrome' page there is an mysearch.com icon - I have googled 'how to remove this' with no success).
    I do not use Chrome and do not have it listed as one of the operating programs on my computer. However, when I start/search "chrome" there is a complete list of files and folders that are found and I am unsure if I should delete them all since many of them appear to be directly associated with Firefox. Please - this is frustrating ... what can I do to get rid of this garbage on my computer?

    The "MySearchDial" app needs to be removed in 4 places.
    1) Go to "add / remove programs" in your windows control panel select mysearchdial and remove it.
    2) Open your Firefox browser then click the Firefox tab at the top left and select options. You will need to change the start page settings back to your preferred start page.
    3) Again under the Firefox tab select "add-ons". In the add-ons manager you will need to remove mysearchdial from both "plugins" and "extensions"
    4) In your search bar (top right of address bar" use the drop down menu and select "manage search engines". You can restore your preferred search engine and remove mysearchdial from the menu.
    This should remove all the components of the nuisance hijacker and restore your browser back to your preferred settings. If you are comfortable with a more in depth removal I would also suggest going to your "programs" folder within the "C" drive of your machine and deleting the "MySearchDial" folder altogether. However, only do this AFTER you have uninstalled it from your system and if you are familiar with this type of removal.

  • Clicking for a new tab brings up yahoo search instead of google as usual. What gives?

    I always use fire fox and google is my home page. Today when i click to open a new tab instead of opening a google search page it opens a yahoo search bar. Google is my only search engine and I have no yahoo add-on. I have even blocked the site and it still pops up.

    The "usual" action when opening a New Tab is to display a '''blank page'''. Something you installed changed that action, and it may not have the Yahoo name, so you need to figure out which addon did that change.

  • When I click for a new tab, how can I make it open with google as opposed to it being blank?

    The new tab always opens (untitled) with no www address. I would prefer it to open with google but cant find this option.

    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/

  • Can I disable double-clicking for a new tab?

    I would prefer to minimize the browser window by double-clicking next to the open tab (and don't really have a use for tabs, anyway). However, with the way it's set up currently, I have to be very careful when double-clicking the window, making sure the curser clicks above the tab area or it will add a new tab instead of minimizing. I cannot seem to turn off this functionality in any of my preferences or toolbar options and do not have administrative rights to upgrade to the newest version of Firefox. Is there a command I can type into the location bar to hide or disable this?

    You can minimize the window that has focus with Command-m.

  • When I open a new tab, the yahoo search page loads rather than the blank page. How do I revert to the blank page setting?

    This only started yesterday, but it really bugs me. I can't figure out how to get rid of it!

    There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
    (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 enter your preferred page:
    * ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
    * ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
    * ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
    * ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
    Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

  • Clicking + for a new tab gives an error message.

    After updating to Firefox 32 yesterday, any time I click on + to open a new tab, I get an error message: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
    Location: about:newtab
    Line Number 116, Column 47: .....
    Why?
    I can enter a URL or search a topic and everything works as it should.

    hello, this is caused by the acceleratetab addon that you have installed. please go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > addons > extensions'' & disable or remoe it.

  • How do you now, double click for a new tab? Used to be able to do this before that last update

    Prior to this update, you could double click next to a tab, to open a new one. This functions, seems not to work anymore.

    If you have "Tabs on top" and the tabs bar is at the top of the toolbar then there is no empty space to click on to open a new tab.

  • When i open a new tab, a bing search site pop up instead of a blank tab. how do i get rid of that?

    So i just downloaded CDisplay and thats when it started. So i was wondering if there's an easy way to get rid of the bing search when i click on a new tab

    Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
    UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
    UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)

  • When I open a new tab, I want it to be blank instead of being filled with advertisements.

    When I attempt to open a new tab for an additional site (to be selected from the bookmarks), it opens with some 15 thumbnails of predetermined suggestions calle "Visual bookmarks". This has started recently; before, it was actually opening with empty contents, i.e., blank. I think this is due to some application I downloaded (probably Yandex). Although I uninstalled that application, the new tab still opens with this content. I tried to solve the problem through Options command of Tools menu but to no awail. Please advise. Thanks and best regards.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
