When opening a new tab it goes to bing search i dont want that
When opening a new tab in the window it says "search bing" I don't really like bing and I just want the page to open blank like before. Is there anyway that I can Change this?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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).

You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>bing</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
You can reset all <i>bing</i> related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.
Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

Whenever I open a blank tab I'm taken to some page where I can search the web with a search engine called Bing. This isn't a major problem but it causes a LOT of annoyance since the cursor is right in the search engine box and not in the address bar like before. Like I said, not a major problem, just annoying and I'd like it fixed if I can.

In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?
I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG. -
I downloaded the latest AVG update and with it they were more than happy to hit me with a stupid search bar at the top of Firefox, as well, when I open a new tab it goes to a page that looks like Google but is the AVG Safe Search page. I don't want it to happen! I would like if I could set it so Google home opens when I open a new tab but I haven't been able to find that option.
Try this?

We have a special color theme which we use for all your previous versions of Firefox so as to eliminate all white screen glare which has been successful until we installed 4.0. When opening a new tab the screen now flashes a stark white eye-strain glaring white light, and much worse when opening a url site this condition does not flash but lingers as long as it takes (sometimes very long) to load a new url. Since this never happened with previous versions, how can this be corrected without having to return to Firefox 3.6?
You can cause a new tab to display the site of your choice by installing the following Add-on:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*after installing, set the options by going to Add-ons > Extensions >New TabURL > Options
Also see --> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
*If you have multiple home pages, the first one is automatically chosen by this Add-on
Future versions of Firefox will/may have this option without an Add-on.

I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
Thank you.

I have the browser set to show five rows of tabs, however, even on the third row (I have not closed enough tabs to test if this happens on the second row), when opening a new tab, the top of the webpage gets moved up to cover the bottom row of tabs, save for a sliver at the top. The only way to re-expose the tabs seems to be to close any tab in the bottom row -- closing tabs in other rows does nothing with the problem.

When opening a new tab i wish to see current tab again on the new page
when opening a new tab i wish to see the contents of my currently open webpage again on the new page
* Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
* Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
* Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
* Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
* Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.

when opening a new tab, it opens onto a search engine, which is not what i want it to do. How do i resolve this and change it back to just a black page?
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.
