When I open a second tab in Firefox, it does not go to my home page. Instead it goes to a page that displays what looks like a collection of pages (or links) that I have visited in the recent or distant past. I would much rather have it go to my home page which is much more useful to me. I have tried to change this in 'Options' but with no luck. Please fix this.

  • Firefox 15 does not always load my home page when it starts up.

    Started my computer. Clicked on the Firefox icon to start Firefox. My preferences include loading my home page (an html file on my computer) when Firefox starts. I have also set browser.newtab.url to the same thing.
    Some of the time, a blank page shows where my home page should show.
    My home page should have loaded.
    If I click on "new tab", the new tab always seems to load my home page properly. It is only when I first start up Firefox that this problem may occur.
    Since this is an intermittent problem, and there is a work-around (clicking on the "home" icon), this is undoubtedly a low-priority bug.

    Since the time of Sea Monkey and Netscape, this problem has not arisen for me. It did not happen in Firefox 12. Only when I upgraded to Firefox 15 did this problem start happening. To me, a retired computer programmer, this feels like a regression. I'd guess at either an uninitialized vairable or a race condition.
    In any case, Firefox should be able to handle being closed by clicking on the x in the titlebar. I shall continue doing so.
    There has never been a hang at exit for me, so that is not something I will pursue.
    In addition, since the problem did not occur ever until Firefox 15, I have done the following:
    sudo yum downgrade firefox xulrunner
    Both are now at firefox 12 level.
    To keep things at that level, I've added to /etc/yum.conf the following:
    exclude=firefox, xulrunner
    I'm certain that my recent actions to downgrade will solve the problem and show that this is a regression.

  • 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.

  • When I open a new tab, I can't make it go straight to home page.

    If I open a new blank tab, I want it to go to my home page, as I want to search for something else. But I have then to click on the Home tab, which on a wide screen , is a mile to the right. I would like to be able to make a click on the new tab cross take me straight to my home page. I think I uised to be able to do this in older versions (running 4.0.1)

    Use this add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/ '''Custom new tab'''].

  • When I open Firefox it does not go to my home page even though my setting are set to go to home page when Firefox is opened

    I have repeatedly checked my settings for Firefox to go to my home page when opened. Instead it opens my last pages opened. I have the most current version of Firefox. This has been going on for about a week.

  • All of a sudden my back button does not work at all, on any site, and when I start Firefox it does not go to the home page I specified

    Just a few days ago, I noticed that when I start Firefox it goes to a blank page, despite the fact that I have several times checked and rechecked under "Options" and my home page is in there. Also the back button has stopped working. I have made sure that inprivate browsing is not enabled, history is maintained etc etc

    Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
    How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

  • Running Firefox 4.0 - but when I hit new tab it does not default to my home page, how do I fix?

    In the earlier version I had of Firefox 3. something-can't remember now, whenever I opened up a new tab it automatically opened up in my home page "Bing" http://www.bing.com. Now when I open a new tab, it's simply a blank page. How do I get it to open the Bing page automatically whenever I open a new tab?
    Thanks.

  • When I open a second browser window (Firefox 5) it does not open to my homepage. It opens with a "New Tab".

    The first time I open a browser window in Firefox 5 a tab opens to my homepage which is what I want. Any browser windows that I open after that open with a "New Tab" and a blank screen. I need to press the "open a new tab" button to get to my homepage.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • When I open a new tab in Firefox (v. 5) the custom background I have selected doesn't show. Any thoughts? Thanks

    When I open Firefox for the first time, the custom background I have displays. But any time I open a new tab while FF is already running the background displays as white- not showing the custom picture I have selected

  • When I open the new tab in firefox , muliple window automatically opened with. also the page did not contain all feature of the site , some panels not displayed

    Problem No. 1 //// when I google the word (boy) as example >>>>> then select image >>>>> right click on any image and choose (open in an new tab) >>>>>> new tab opened but the image not appear, instead a black window appear .
    Problem No. 2 //// in any windows >>> if I choose the link >>> the link did not open until the (new window opened and my antivirus warm me that there is a dangerous thread must remove or blocked)

    If your security software is blocking images then you need to check the settings there or contact its website for support.
    If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
    *Tap the Alt key or press F10 to show the Menu bar.
    Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the <b>permissions.default.image</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.
