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.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Do you mean that toolbars get hidden when you open a new tab?
Can you attach a screenshot?

There is no deleting of apple id - you just don't use it all.
Note all apps that was purchase using the old id, you will have to use that id and password to update apps.
Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it. You can try and delete the old apps and download it with the new id.

How do I set what page will open up when I click new tab?

I just downloaded something from the internet and ASK is now my default page when I open up a new tab. I managed to set what page I wanted when I open up the browser, but when I am in the browser and I click NEW TAB it goes back to ASK. Any ideas?

You may need to remove an Ask extension. You can check on the Add-ons page:
Tools menu > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions, then disable/remove unwanted (or unrecognized) extensions.
The actual address for the new tab page is a hidden setting. To adjust 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 that appears above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
* ''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 Command+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

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.

When open a new tab, I want the home page to come up, but it's something else. How do I change this? Thanks!

If I click the + to open a tab, it comes up to a browser window that I don't want. I have changed the "home page" to what I do want, that didn't seem to work, even when I restarted Firefox.
How can I change the screen that comes up when I select a new tab? Many thanks in advance for your assistance!

There is an extension to do that -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

Can I specify a page to be opened when I click 'new tab' instead of the 'empty' tab?

When I open a new tab, I'd like to be able to specify what it opens, instead of the 'empty' tab.

There are a number of extensions that provide a feature like that.

Since 20.0.1, firefox automatically saves my tabs when I close. I don't see any option to stop this. How do I stop this?

When I close firefox, the tabs that I have open at the time of closing are saved. When I reopen firefox, those same tabs are reloaded. I don't like this. I would prefer to see my homepage first.
This first became a problem after installing the most recent update to firefox, which is 20.0.1. I've searched, and I can't find an option to disable this.

You can check the startup setting and make sure that "Show my home page" is selected.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: When Firefox Starts:
Make sure that Firefox closes properly to make sure that Firefox isn't restoring a possibly crashed session.
*Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.

I lost my mozzilla homepage and when I click on the house @the upper right it says I don't have a URL what does this all mean???

I was try to research an item I wanted to purchase and I noticed that I didn't have my "invisable hand" to find the lowest price. So I went to Mozzilla to find the problem. Only to find out I only had a blank page. I followed the suggestion on the help page but it didn't do anything. So now I contacting this to resolve the problem.........hopefully

Hi jemlady,
You should try typing ''about:home'' in the address bar. Is that the page you want as your home page? You should look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. It has steps on how to reset the home page to default. I'd try that first.
If that doesn't work, start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down ''Shift'' while Firefox is starting. It could be an issue with preferences, so you might want to look at

You can reset all bing related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
