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/

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]]

When I click on a new tab, I can't type anything in.

Up until a little while ago, when I clicked on the + sign for a new tab, a large blank box would drop down where I could type in the URL. Now that isn't happening and I am not able to type anything in. I can browse history, but if I want a new URL or want to do a search, I can't do anything.

Check which toolbars are set to be displayed. The Location/URL bar and the Search bar are on the Navigation Toolbar. Only the checked toolbars are displayed; click on any not checked to place a check mark if you want them displayed.

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.

How can I customize the webpage that appears when I click add a new tab? I would like it to be google please.

When I click the + tab option, the page goes to results by bing. I'm not a fan of this. Can you help me fix that?

Type '''about:config''' in URL
* filter - '''browser.newtab.url''' > Change the value to ''Google.com"

When opening a new tab, how can you make the cursor automatically go to the address bar?

In my previous version of firefox, the cursor would go directly to the address bar when I opened a new tab. Thus, I could start typing the web address I wanted to go to immediately. However I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and I now have to manually click in the address bar. Is there any way to change this in settings or by installing a specific add-on?
Thanks!

You only get the cursor in the search bar if you open the built-in about:home page. 
For other websites you need an extension.

How can I make firefox open with certain tabs?

I'm looking to make is so every time I choose to open Firefox, a few selected tabs open. For example, I open Firefox and a tab for Facebook opens, and tab for Twitter, a tab for news, etc. Wondering if there's a way to do this.

You can add the URLs separated by spaces to the target file of a (copy of) the Firefox desktop shortcut.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options
If you exceed the maximum length the use a cmd file instead to start Firefox.
* start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" <url1> <url2>

How can I make PSE open with a blank slate - nothing in the Projects Bin?

When I open PSE 10, I want and expect a blank workspace. But when PSE opens, the last open file always appears, even if I saved or closed it before closing PSE.
I don't see any pref to correct this, and I shouldn't have to close a file before I can begin working.

This is a lion thing, not a PSE thing. First go to system preferences>General and turn off restore windows:
Then go to your username>library>saved application states and delete the one(s) for PSE. You will need to option-click the Go menu in the Finder to see this library, since it's normally hidden in Lion.
EDIT If you want to turn it off only for PSE, it doesn't work that way. You will need to delete the saved state every time you want to start PSE if you don't want to disable this feature for all programs.

On opening, the browser comes up with not an address navigation bar, but with only two google search windows. How can I make it open with an actual address line?

It's all been said in the question.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F). 
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

First i open google search page.after seeing the results if i click in any site the site appears in a new tab.how can i stop this?

these days i face this problem.whenever i click on a site it appears in a new tab.how can i stop it?

The Google Search setting has an option '''Where results open'''. If it is selected, you can try deselecting that. If it doesn't solve the problem, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this.

I have a lot of various book mark folders with websites contained within each folder. I am able to sort the websites within each folder alphabetically by name but I cannot find a way to sort the bookmark folders themselves alphabetically by name.I am not talking about in a view mode but in the way they are displayed when I click on my bookmarks tab. Can someone explain to me how to accomplish this other than manually dragging them as this is extremely hard for me due to the fact that I am a quadriplegic with limited hand movement dexterity

Bookmark folders that you created are in the Bookmarks Menu folder. "Sort" that folder.
