When opening a new blank tab I'd like it to open a specific page rather than have nothing. Can this be done?

When hitting cmd/ctrl + t (or pressing the open new tab button) I'd like Firefox to open a page that I specify rather than being 'blank'. Can this be done (with / without a plug in)?

Install one of these Add-ons:

How do I change what I see when I open a new (blank) tab?

I always get "MyStart" by intellibar and I do not want that when I first open a blank tab. How do I go back to what I used to have?

Why doe s "Bing" always appear when I open a new blank tab? I want to stop this. Thanks, please advise.

Have checked history and tabs and add-ons

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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

In Safari on a MacBook Pro, how do you open a new blank tab while leaving the site you were on still on another tab?

This is my first Mac computer, and this may be a silly question, but I can't find the answer anywhere else. Anyway, is there a way to open a new tab that's blank? Like in iPhones, you can click new page, and a blank page opens up. Anyway that's possible on Macs? Or do I just need to download Chrome?

A new tab can be obtained with command-t, or via the File menu, or with the + sign at the end of the tabs, or....
What happens when a new tab is opened is determined via Safari > Preferences > General.
You will want to select "Empty page" under "New tabs open with".

Firefox won't let me click on a tab to open a new blank tab

Whenever i click on the last tab to open a new empty blank tab nothing happens. i downloaded the new firefox that didnt help restarted that didnt help.

Can't you use the [+] button on the Tab bar to open a new Tab? 
Right-click on any Tab and select New Tab? 
Or, you can double-click on a blank spot on the Tab bar, if you don't have many Tabs open.
If something has changed recently and you lost a feature that you once had, you need to do a little troubleshooting. 
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Uninstall the '''''Ask Toolbar'''''. It can cause that problem.

FF 14.0.1: Bookmark with java-script function to build and open URL. Works unless clicked when already in a new blank tab, then does nothing. Why?

On 14.0.1 I have a bookmark which calls a java script function to prompt for input, build and call a dynamic URL. This has worked fine until last update of FF. It works fine if I right click and select Open in a New Tab, or new window. It works fine if I am in any other website and click it. It only does not work, if I open a new blank tab or window, and then click it from inside that new tab. Then it does nothing. Same happens whether the "New tab Page" is displayed or not. Same happens in safe mode.
Bookmark properties:
javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Document%20Number:%22,%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22https://somecompany.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}

I searched for a recent thread on this but couldn't find it.
This may be the result of a security restriction on some "about" pages such as about:home and about:newtab.
Did you blank the new tab page using the little button or did you actually change the new tab page to about:blank? In case you need steps for testing:
(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 filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab''
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
browser.newtab.url = about:home
''(iv) Any other page''
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page

With multiple tabs open, and selecting a new (blank) tab, RoboForm open new web page in far left tab, not the new (blank) one. How to correct this?

Problem: Firefox Browser Tabs when using RoboForm
When using Tabs in the Firefox browser (with multiple Tabs already open), I (1) click to open a new (blank) tab and then, (2) click on RoboForm to go to a new website. Instead of the new website opening in the newly opened (blank) tab it opens in the first (far left) tab. This only began happening when I installed Firefox 5.0 and RoboForm Desktop v7.3.2 at the same time.
My system: HP Pavilion Media center, Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit, 8GB RAM, Firefox v5.0, Roboform Desktop v7.3.2

Thanks a lot. The culprit turned out to be Webmail Notifier. Unfortunately, there seems to be some problems on their end that the developer has not yet responded to, but something about the extension is screwing up tab functionality.
Thanks!

New windows are like new blank tabs

When I click on a link which opens in a new window, it ends up being like a new blank tab. There's no website of the current page in the address bar, the 'favorite' button is missing, and the 'refresh' doesn't work. The only thing that woks is that it does show the site of the link that I clicked.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
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.

Everytime I close a tab a new blank tab opens on its own.

Hi,
I'm using Firefox 6.0.2 and it's a while that I'm facing this problem. Anytime I click the little X to close the tab (sometimes I have to click it 2-3 times) it closes the tab but a new blank tab opens itself. For example when I start with 1 tab, open 3 tabs from that page so I have 4, I want to go to another site and close everything about my first site. Then Firefox gives me the new site + 4 blank tabs that can't be closed.
When I open Firefox it works well but after 10-15 minutes or I don't know maybe 1 hour or so this problem appears.
I did not install any new plugin or extension (maybe updated my existing plugins) .
It's not a virus,malware or anything. I'm using Avast home edition (Free) and it updates itself every day several times. I also scanned my system with tdsskiller (read on a forum that solves the problem, but it didn't).
I'm using firefox for years, but this problem is happening only from a week ago.

do you have any toolbars or extensions installed in windows control panel > software or in firefox addons-manager > extensions, that might cause this behaviour? try running firefox in [[Safe Mode]] (close all other instances of firefox and open the browser while holding the shift key) and see if the problem is persisiting there to diagnose the issue...
''edit: you also have the "Fun Web Products Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" plugin installed, that comes bundeled with some toolbars''
from the system details you've submitted it appears that you are using a out of date version of firefox and a out of date version of the java plugin - both are a severe security issue! there were [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html dozens of vulnerabilities fixed] since the release of firefox 6. and java versions before 6 update 31 are vulnerable to drive-by-infections (your pc can get infected with malware by simply visiting a website), which are widely exploited in the wild.
i'd recommend that you update both programs as soon as possible: visit getfirefox.com &, java.com; and although you already have a working anti-virus software in place, i'd suggest that you run another full scan of your system with the free anti-malware tool from www.malwarebytes.org in addition (tdsskiller was just a scanner for rootkits).

It will not let me open websites, it stays on the new blank tab. It's slow. It always crashes.

I have a mac. At first the browser was really slow and the spinning circle would not go away. I forced quit. When I opened the browser most of my tabs with sites came back except a few although when I clicked on them the showed the web address that was there. So I closed them and tried re-typing and the address but it would not connect, it just stayed on the new blank tab. Firefox has been really slow over the past few months and it keeps crashing.

Probably you have opened a blank Layout template which requires a Textbox for you to type into.
Open a blank Word Processing template instead. The two types are listed in the Sidebar of the Template Chooser.
