When I load firefox it opens my home page then a new tab. how can I stop the new tab

I just need firefox to open my homepage, not open a new tab

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • I am new to firefox. when i loaded firefox and set my home page," mozilla opening page" always opens as well. how do i stop that? in English"

    it opens in another tab. is this an automaticv process or can it be turned off?

    After starting go to the tab you don't want for home page and delete. When in your proper home page selection goto tools..options and select current. Restart. You should be ok. BTW this will happen with all upgrades and updates.

  • How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

    For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

    To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
    There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

    - Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Try syncing  the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

  • When I open Photoshop CC, it opens for a second then immediately closes.  How can I rectify this.

    When I open Photoshop CC, it opens for a second then imediatly closes.  How can I fectify this?

    Michaelrutland do you receive any specific error messages?  Did Photoshop CC work previously?  Also which operating system are you using?  Finally I would recommend reviewing your installation log files for errors.  You can find details on how to locate and interpret the installation log files at Troubleshoot install issues with log files | CC - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cc.html.

  • 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.

  • How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

    How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

    If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    Delete the <b>storage\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
    You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

    When I change a password, sometimes I get a pop-up asking if I want to save the new password - sometimes it doesn't appear.
    How can I save the new password if popup does not appear?

    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving the name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save the name and password.

    This isn't the fault of firefox. Firefox is a web browser, not your email provider. I'd suggest contacting them (whoever you use, gmail, yahoo, etc.) and asking for help.

  • How can I stop the "Cannot Open iTunes" dialog

    How can I stop the "Cannot Open iTunes" dialog when more than one user is logged into the computer without switch to the user using and closing iTunes. Why doesn't the dialog AT LEAST have the option to 'Do not attempt to open iTunes for this User any more' instead of the lazy programmer OK button only. OR Even the Do not ask this again option.

    Just adding to the last answer:
    Sony Reader; free download from Sony intended to run with Sony eReaders but works quite happily without.
    https://ebookstore.sony.com/download/
    I prefer ADE1.7.2 to Sony Reader, and Calibre to either (for DRM-free books),
    but Sony Reader certainly worth a try to see how you get on with it.

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.
