When opening a new tab, how to you define what page loads

I downloaded an application to try to "speed up" my computer. I'm usually prety good about making sure i know whats being downoaded but it downloaded yahoo something or other (toolbar i think) and now when I open a new tab in firefox it goes to yahoo. (*although when i click "home" it goes to the firefox page). any help?
also anyway to define the new tab page kinda like they do in google chrome? (kinda like a "home" screen)
thanks

You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

    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 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 />
    For other websites you need an extension.

  • 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!

    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 you open a new tab, how do you change the site it goes to?

    My Daughter downloaded accidently a tool bar, Searchqu.com. I have removed the tool bar and application, and reset the homepage. However when I open a new tab it defaults to http://www.searchqu.com/, how do I change this? I have tried resetting it to default and it does not help.

    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 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 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.
