When opening in another tab how do i get it to open up in google? not home page.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

How do I get news stories I click from my Yahoo home page to open in a new tab?

At one point, whenever I clicked on a news story on my Yahoo home page the story would open in a new tab, leaving the home page unchanged. When I updated Firefox, this feature was eliminated. Is there a way to turn it back on?

Hmm, this isn't a built-in feature of Firefox, but here are a couple possibilities:
(1) Maybe Yahoo has a setting for this, but it is stored in a cookie and the cookie got wiped out somehow?
(2) Maybe one of your add-ons has a setting for this, but the add-on was disabled during the update because it needs to be updated for Firefox 30?
You can check whether any of your extensions are disabled or need updating on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled ones appear toward the bottom on a gray background.
To check for extension updates, at the top above the list, click the "gear" button, then Check for Updates.
Anything relevant there?
The "manual" methods for opening a link in a new tab are:
* hold down the Command key while clicking the link
* "middle-click" the link with a mouse scroll wheel
* right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab
If command+click doesn't work, this can indicate that a script attached to the link and is overriding normal Firefox behavior.

When I open a new tab, why do I have to have the AVG query-why not home page

When I oopen a new tab, I get the Welcome to Tabbed Browsing presentation. What I get apparently is an AVG search page.
What I want is my home page-the same as I get when I first open Firefox.

9/20
Finally found toolbar settings and unchecked the box.
All is well. Thanks for taking time to answer.

My iPad mail shows 5 letters in my inbox, but when I check there is nothing that shows new letters. How do I get rid of the "5" showing on my home page? My home computer has no new emails either.

My home page shows "5" new emails but when I go to my mail account there are no new letters. How do I get rid of the "5" on my home screen. My computer and other email accounts show no new ones. Help.

Have you tried deleting the account and re-installing?

How do I get a Skype Icon onto my Android tablet home pages?

Running on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with Lollipop 5.0.2. I can find no icon or widget for Skype on my Apps or Widget List. So I have to open it by going through the Google Play Store. I thought uninstalling and reinstalling it might put an icon on my Home Pages but it hasn't (in fact, uninstalling it just "uninstalled all updates"). How do I get an icon onto my home page?

I believe iTunes Store movies can only be played back on Apple devices.

How can I get rid of Babylon that took over my home page via Firefox?

A site called Babylon took over my home page among other things last week. Your advice via email to get Firefox from someone else who has it wasn't feasible. Neither was Riva uninstaller which you recommended. This appears to be an attack on Firefox and although I got rid of most of Babylon, it still dominates my home page. I love Firefox but this is bad news. I need it fixed.
Thank you for your time.

How do I get rid of MyHeritage which has captured the home page?

I recently upgraded a program called MyHeritage Family Tree Builder. It has taken over the home page of Firefox and I no longer have the Google options.
How do I get rid of it?

2. Confirm you are in the '''General Panel'''
3. Click '''Restore to Default'''
4. Finally, click '''OK'''

When I open Firefox (with Google as home page), I get prompted to save a file (application/octet-stream)

This is my mother's computer. It's an HP Pro something. It has Win 7 Pro and Firefox is up to date. I'm not sure when this started because she doesn't use it every day. We can't get to Google at all using Firefox. I even tried a new tab just now and I get prompted to save a file (earlier the file it is prompting to save is NFRC_FLE13007-1A-RD_3300_SN_CIG_IS20_i89.pdf [the two dashes might be underscores - can't read my own writing!] Now it doesn't show me the file name). I tried using bing to search for this file name and didn't get any results.
I already tried clearing the cache and also resetting the browser using CTRL-F5. I've rebooted after that too. No changes...
I have not cleared cookies - I think she relies on a lot of them and I don't want to get her more confused!
Also, I've set up a number of "shortcuts" on her desktop so she can go directly to some websites. One is for Yahoo, one is for WebMD, etc. When I click on these, I do not have the issue. Seems to be related only to Google. Okay, just tried Google Maps and the same thing happens... And same thing happens with GMail. I captured the window, see the attachments..
Thanks!
p.s. I occasionally (on my computer) get prompted to save a file in Firefox when I hit the back button. I just say cancel and then do it again and everything is fine. I don't know if this is related either. I have Win 8.1 on a Lenovo laptop.

Try to boot the computer in [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows Safe Mode with network support] (press F8 on the boot screen) open firefox and see if that happens again.

10.3.1.1565 - how do I get rid of awful blue blob in hub home page on Q10

Really not liking new upgrade
Hub bottom bar which used to be accessible when required, now fixed and using valuable real estate - have lost a full e-mail summary from bottom of screen which is not good....
Also - when I use facebook app, if I send my son a message,. soon as I start to type, the auto suggest text bar comes up and cannot see what I am typing unless I scroll and then have to stop typing, start again - total abomination of an upgrade from what I can see.... lack of proper testing and share price will be hit again...
suggestions, polite ones, always welcome how to resolve these issues

Hello golfbug72,
The FB behaviour you are suffering, I sometimes had a similar issue when posting comments to a picture, but it disappeared when I updated the FB app a few weeks ago.
I surely don't have the issue when sending a message from the Hub to someone.
FYI my version installed is 10.6.31.2.
Which version do you have, and can you detail a bit your issue so I can try on my side please?

How do i get a larger typeface using firefox and igoogle home page?

I just switched to Firefox from Explorer 8. (I don't want 9.) I still have Explorer but am trying Firefox and the igoogle homepage type is too small. Where can I change the size or enlarge it? When I open Explorer with the igoogle homepage it is the right size. I can barely see the type using Firefox.

If it is just the one page, the page may have been zoomed out. With the site on display try resetting page zoom by using the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero)
For more details on page zoom see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Page+Zoom

When I open a new tab I no longer get the search bar with all of my recent pages, how do I restore this back to the default?

I was on demonoid and I accidentally installed some software that I didnt want to. Once this happened I noticed that on both of my browsers firefox and chrome that this search site named trovi.com has taken over as my homepage and over my new tab. I fixed the problem on chrome and I fixed the home page problem on Firefox, what I cant figure out is how to get rid of this bane when I open a new tab. All I have all of my useful sites pinned there and it is very annoying.
I have been searching through all the options and cannot find a way to change this back to default without restoring the entire browser back to default. Which I really dont want to do. Thanks in advance
THis is the problem

How to prevent video playback from getting paused when switching to another tab on Firefox for Android?

In Firefox for Android 27.0, if you play video in one tab and while it's playing you switch to another tab, the video gets paused. I want the video to continue to play while I'm viewing another tab (so I can at least hear its sound!).
How can I do that?
How can I prevent Firefox for Android from pausing video playback when switching to another tab?
Thank you very much.

Hi hamid_ss,
Currently Firefox for Android does this by default with embedded players. Some sites go automatically to full screen too which may be what you are running into. Try it.
