When I open a new tab it does not bring up my homepage. It brings up another sites search engine page.

When I click on the new tab button, a small cross, it opens the new tab, but displays another sites search page, not my homepage. I cannot find where to tell it to open my homepage on all new tabs that are opened from the tab bar.

The basic Firefox build has always opened a blank page when you open a new tab.
Maybe some add-on you installed modified that feature of Firefox which now opens all tabs in a different page. Here's what you will need to do.
Open Firefox -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. The tabs will now be opening in a blank page. You can Enable the add-ons again and check if its working properly.

  • How do I change the tab setting so that when I open a new tab it does not leave the current tab view?

    Up until the other day, opening a link in a new tab via right click created the new tab but did not change my view to that new tab. However, since yesterday opening any new tab changes my view from the page I was browsing on to the new tab. Although it seems minor, this seriously negatively impacts the way I browse. Is there any way to change it back? I do not see it within the settings.

    Tools > Options > Tabs - is the last preference there check-marked??

    I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
    Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
    Thank you.

    when I open a new tab, there are 9 tiles that I am assuming should have 9 sites you've either been to or would like to make as favorites. I can't figure out how to drag a favorite into one of the tiles.

    I've done this before. When I drag a bookmark to a new tab , all it does is opens up that book mark on that page , it doesn't place and save

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    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/

  • The "open a new tab" button does not open a new tab.

    The "open a new tab" button does not work. Neither does "file; new tab", or Control T. Can you please tell me how to fix this?
    Thank you.

    This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
    Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbBCPA/3.13.1.18107

    Do you have Firefox 3.6 and the Ask Toolbar?
    If you do, uninstall 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.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • I can not type a url in the browser window when I open a new tab. Why not?

    I open a new tab click in browser window and see cursor but it does not blink. If I click in google search window it works fine. I can redirect using bookmarks but if I want to just type it in, it acts blocked or locked. Could I have done something to cause this? How can I fix this?

    Are you using the same extensions on both computers?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.

  • Since the update today to 3.6.17 when I click to open a new tab it does not open

    the plus sign to the right of the open tab{s] no longer works since the update. Is this intentional or just a bug? It is the same on both my pcs running firefox.

    Un-install the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. Many users have reported the '''''Ask Toolbar''''' causes Firefox to not open new tabs. It is the responsibility of Ask to fix the problem with their toolbar.

  • Open in new tab preference does not work

    Although i have tried all the options in your help pages and trouble shooting pages including deleting the prefs.nj file it still does not open url's in a new tab despite that preference being selected
    == immediately i instaleed friefox

    The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link in.
    That option allows you to divert such links to a new tab or to the current tab.
    For other links you have to use a middle-click or press Ctrl and left-click or use the context menu.
    You need to left-click JavaScript links and divert them to a new tab or you get a blank tab.

  • The Open a New Tab button does not work. I'm using Firefox 17.0 on Windows 7. Have restarted computer.

    It had been working fine. Suddenly not working after no significant change to computer (that I'm aware of).

    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 or otherwise make changes.

  • When i open a new tab I can't put in the website I want to access why?

    when I open a new tab it does not give me the option to put in a new web address. I used to have Facebook on Foxfire and I can't get to it to come up on foxfire anymore. It is not even in my history and it was one website I used everyday on Foxfire. I hope you can help so I can get it back on foxfire.

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
    See [[Menu bar is missing]]
    Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

  • When I open a new tab, I want to see a thumbnail view of few recent pages. How to set that?

    My friend uses Google Chrome browser, and when he openes a new tab he can see on it a thumbnail view of 6 or 8 recent visited pages. Vith a simple click on each of them he can revisit that pages.
    I do not want to change my default browser (Firefox) but want to have that option.

    There are several add-ons that allow you to do this, such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL].

  • Can I set firefox to auto go to my homepage when i open a new tab

    When I open a new tab I want it to show my homepage rather than a blank screen

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.
