When opening a new tab, how do i costumize what page opens? i would like it to open to either a blank page or to Google.

after opening up my web browser to goggle, a new tab open up to a generic page: Internet Search. i would like it to either open to just a blank page or to goggle. how do i change this.

New tabs open with a blank page by default. If you want a web page to open in a new tab then you need an extension.

When opening a new tab, how can I specify a site or empty? My tabs open to a site I don't want to see.

When opening a new tab, how can I specify a site, homepage or empty? My new tabs open to a site I don't want to see.

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.

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

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
it in the tile

You changed the order of the menu for "Open in a new window" or "Open in new Tab", How can I change it back? Or how can I omit any reference to tabs? I do not use them at all.

I don't want yahoo search to come up when I open a new tab how do I make it so it does not go to yahoo?

Before my last upgrade when I opened a new tab it would open to a new window without yahoo or any other page just blank that is what I would like to happen now.

Did you try opening '''about:config''' and filtering on the url (or part of it) to see if there is a configuration variable involved.
How did you remove the toolbar and application, did you have to go into the control panel or did an extension sim,ply uninstall..

I accidentally changed my settings so another website is opened when I open a new tab; how do I get it back to the default quick links on a new tab?

The site that is shown is Ask.com, and it changed because when I downloaded iLivid installer I didn't uncheck the boxes that asked me if I wanted to make this change.

I'll list out the steps, but please note that any Ask-related extensions still in Firefox can override your preference, so you might want to check for and either disable or remove any such extension here first:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Here is how you can set/reset what appears on a new tab:
(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) To get the page thumbnails, right-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and choose Reset
(4) For other choices, double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Blank tab''
about:blank
''(ii) Built-in Firefox home page''
about:home
''(iii) Any other page''
full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

When I open a new tab how can I get firefox to display my homepage instead of a blank page?

I know how to set my homepage for when opening firefox, but I can't find how to make newly opened tabs automatically load my homepage. Can this be done? Seems like opening a new tab only allows a blank page to load.

To make it a blank page again go to:

This should fix your problem :)
