When I open a new tab, the address area populates with an unwanted, unused address, it doesn't go there, I don't want populated automatically, how to fix?
When ever I open a new tab in Firefox, this address populates the address bar: chrome://quick_start/content/index.html. Now, I don't have anything against it, but I can't seem to get rid of it. I have been to my settings and add ons and that doesn't work. Tried to see if I could find it somewhere in my internet settings on my computer control panel. I just had somebody delete some serious virus and adware issues with my computer, and I'm sure they put this in there. How do I get it to stop? If I call the place who fixed it, they'll probably charge me for fixing it when it should be an easy fix.
The page does NOT LOAD, it just populates the address bar, and if I hit enter, then it loads...help please.
Thank you so much.
jscher2000,
SUCCESS!!! Thank you so much, it is so helpful to have someone who KNOWS what they are doing to give me advice. I have to admit, I had never even realized you could do that in the address bar to get to certain areas of your browser settings. Thank you so much and I am keeping a copy of your text so that I can check it out and roam around in there...I am learning HTTP, C++ and CSS right now, so I am really excited about learning this new trick. I don't know what else I can do with it, but it's definitely a keeper! Thanks again. Namaste.

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

When I open a new Tab the page defaults to an unwanted page.
When I open a new Tab the page defaults to: "http://www.somoto.com/139/%7B666DAB7E-0C0D-4161-9E9E-F4170E4A3EB9%7D?s_src=newtab". My homepage is set to something entirely different. Is it possible to change this default to something of my own choosing?

The URL Of the page is;

I use Windows Vista, and I use the default Alt+Shift+PrtScn high contrast mode for white text on a black background. I only notice when I click a link that opens a new tab or open a tab via the mouse wheel that becomes the main tab. I can't switch tabs fast enough if I click a link that doesn't open as the main tab to tell if the problem persists. The duration of the non-high contrast background is only as long as the page takes to load. There does not seem to be much lag, but the lack of high contrast is painful enough that I have to close my eyes, so I'm not sure. On a related note, the new status information does not high contrast either, making it impossible for me to read.

I used to be able to type in a URL or search when opening a new tab. Now I only get the "panes" that show most recently opened tabs. I have been having to go to alternative browsers to go to websites not in my top 9 or to open new windows, which is a pain.
Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. <br>
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Hi,
You may have to change the setting in the application itself or disable the app in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons''', click '''Extensions''' on the left. If that doesn't work, try to uninstall the application. Please also see [http://funmoods.com/terms this] (the third bulleted point). -
If I have opened firefox, and I am on my igoogle home page, and if I click the add page button to open a new window, the new pages opens to a blank internet page where I have to type in the new web address I want to go to. This started happening after I added a record button to record internet video and audio. I ended up removing the record program and buttons, but now I cannot figure out how to get a new page to open at my home page address of igoogle.

When i open a new tab the search box does not appear - what do i need to do?
i have been using firefox for a while and have been able to access the tabs to search for more info. Now when I opena new tab window it is a blank screen, with no facilty to do a search. what do i need to do?
OK friends. I was tired of running Norton antivirus and it slowing up my PC, so I installed McAfee and....guess what? Problem solved!! No more problems with the back button on new tabs. I'm glad it's fixed, but have no idea why and what the problem was other than something in Norton. Instant fix.

I have latest version of Firefox, and Windows XP SP2
Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

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.

I hate this beta and gannot get rid of it. I tried deleting the firefox link and reinstalling but it came back the same way. Help.
Make sure that 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.
