When opening a new tab, how do I make firefox automatically switch to it?

Pressing Control+T or the "+" button next to tabs will open the new tab. However, I want the new tab to be automatically selected when it is generated.
Right clicking links and Opening in new tab works fine.

For me, it was caused by the Fox Tab add on. I disable it and the 'problem' goes away, enable it and it's back..
I guess Fox Tab (1.4.2b) is not (fully) compatible with Firefox 5 yet.

  • When opening a new tab, how do I set FireFox to go to my home page ?

    When opening a new tab, it is blank. I would like the new tab to open to my home page. I cannot find the OPTION for this. Please advise.

    You can look at this extension:

  • When opening a new tab, how can you make the cursor automatically go to the address bar?

    In my previous version of firefox, the cursor would go directly to the address bar when I opened a new tab. Thus, I could start typing the web address I wanted to go to immediately. However I upgraded to Firefox 4 today and I now have to manually click in the address bar. Is there any way to change this in settings or by installing a specific add-on?
    Thanks!

    You only get the cursor in the search bar if you open the built-in about:home page.<br />

    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.

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

  • When opening a new tab how can i get the yahoo search engine off of the new tab to where its just a blank tab ?

    When opening a new tab it automatically loads the yahoo search engine in the new tab. It use to just open a blank tab..how do I remove the Yahoo search engine from loading in a new tab ?

    To make it a blank page again go to:
    Tools and then click on add-ons
    Then scroll down and disable "My.Freeze.com Net Assistant"
    This should fix your problem :)

  • 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..

  • 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.

  • When opening a new tab, how do I default to my home page?

    When I manually open a new tab I always get a blank window. I want the new tab to default to my home page when I open it. IE does this, why not Firefox?

    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.

  • When opening a new tab, how can I change the page that is initially displayed?

    When I open a new tab, the page that is initially displayed is one that provides a simple Bing! search. What can I do to make the initial display one of my own choosing?

    Select Firefox (Top left) / Options/ Options / Main or General.
    There you can select the thing you whant firefox to do when it is started up. If you would like it to open www.google.com for instance, you have to paste that url (= www.google.com) into the space below.
    That's it!
