Why does firefox zoom in when I open a new tab? How can I disable this?

Every time I right click on a link and select "Open link in a new tab" firefox zooms in. This happens also when I hold ctrl and click on a link. I know I can just zoom back out using ctrl - but this gets really annoying sometimes. How can I disable this?

Why does Yahoo Search appear when I open a new tab, when Google is my default homepage?

Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, when I open a new tab the yahoo search page appears, but my homepage is www.google.com.
I have three tabs open at all times on my main foxfire window and always ask to restore them: Yahoo mail (my account), www.imdb.com, and http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. Anytime I open a new tab http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears, but my default homepage is set to www.google.com.
Interestingly, when I open a new window for firefox my default homepage of www.google.com appears, but http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears when I open new tabs.
Why????
Very annoying, but the highest of priorities.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

When I open a new tab, how can I get the curson to be on the URL line instead of in a search engine box?

When I open a new tab I almost always I know the URL of where I want to go. Therefore I do not want my cursor to be placed in the box of a search engine upon opening the new tab. I want it to be on the address line.

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 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.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

When i open a new tab I can't put in the website I want to access why?

when I open a new tab it does not give me the option to put in a new web address. I used to have Facebook on Foxfire and I can't get to it to come up on foxfire anymore. It is not even in my history and it was one website I used everyday on Foxfire. I hope you can help so I can get it back on foxfire.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click if you want to make that permanent
See [[Menu bar is missing]]
Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.

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 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. 
For other websites you need an extension.

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.

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!

First i open google search page.after seeing the results if i click in any site the site appears in a new tab.how can i stop this?

these days i face this problem.whenever i click on a site it appears in a new tab.how can i stop it?

The Google Search setting has an option '''Where results open'''. If it is selected, you can try deselecting that. If it doesn't solve the problem, please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. Hardware acceleration is also temporarily disabled - the manual setting is '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window%20-%20Advanced%20panel?as=u '''Use hardware acceleration when available''']. All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.
