Why is display of icons on the new tab no longer present
At the beginning of the week I was using FF 3.6.13 on Windows XP, on Wednesday it was upgraded to Windows 7 and still using FF 3.6.13. Before W7 when in FF if I clicked on the new tab the new page was displayed with lots of icons of the most recently accessed URLs. Now when I click on the new tab it just displays a blank page. Is the display of the icons still possible in the W7 variant and if so how do I configure it as I have been through all the history options and can't find anything that looks like it does this.
This issue can be caused by the Ask<i></i>.com toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)
Your system details show that toolbar in the user agent as AskTbLPY/3.12.2.16749

How do I display more icons on the New-Tab page? I tried about:config
The New-Tab page I see doesn't match what FF shows in help. I changed rows and columns and nothing changed.
Hello,
With the latest Firefox update, the number of tiles is now determined on screen size - if you zoom out or expand the window you can have more tiles appear.
If you want to set a fixed number of tiles, you can do so with the following extension:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-tools/
You can also see '''jscher2000''''s Chosen Solution here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025414
It requires the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] add-on but will automatically shrink the tiles on the page and will limit the tiles based on what you entered for your rows and columns in the '''about:config''' page:

Why is there a NEW WINDOW icon but no NEW TAB icon on the Customize Toolbars function?
In Firefox 4 I can customize the menu bar only with icons that are included in the customization routine. Included is a NEW WINDOW icon but no NEW TAB icon. Why?
The + New Tab button on the tab bar should move to the right end side of the Tab bar if you open Customize. If the + button disappears then click the Restore Default Set in the customize window.

How to change the icon of the news in Portal?
Do you know how to change the icon of the news in Portal?
I use NewBrowser to Browser the news, but I think the Icon of the News is not good,I want change it ? what should I do?
Thanks for your help!Hi,
if you are talking about the NewsBrowser of Knowledge Management (Content Management -> Explorer -> News), you should see a button "Edit" on the right side of the news.
Press this button and fill in a new URL in the input field "Image URL". After saving the new settings, the new image should be displayed.
Kind regards,

The only way I can open a new tab in Firefox is by right-clicking a bookmarked site and selecting "Open in a New Tab." I can't click on the New Tab + or CTR+T or open via File. WHY don't the other means work?
The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
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 -
IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !Graham Giles wrote:
Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive? -
My default search engine is Google and I deleted Bing from the Search Providers. Facebook is set as my home page. Whenever I open a new tab, a Bing search box is displayed on the page and it takes the focus so when I am trying to type a URL in the new tab, it is entered in the damn bing search box. HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT ACCURSED BING
Swarnava, thank you very much! that did it and I am Bing-less . . . OH HAPPY DAY!! WOOHOO!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you!

Under the previous version of Firefox I had the "new tab" option in both locations. When I upgraded, the one at the end of the tab line had disappeared. I used the suggestion from the forum to reset to default and it did reappear, but the icon in the toolbar had disappeared. Since there is no + in the customization window I cannot place a new one, and if I drag and drop from the tab bar it moves to the toolbar, but will not duplicate itself. I use either of these interchangeably, and having only one or the other is a real annoyance, and does slow me down when doing multiple searches or otherwise utilizing multiple tabs.
Hi, I have a similar problem with 12.0 of Firefox. The 'Add New Tab' tab has moved from the righthand end of open tabs to the left hand end.
If I right click on an empty tab area and select customize the "Add New Tab' tab disappears and an Add New Tab icon appears at the right hand end. I can drag and drop this icon into the Customize Toolbar window.
However if I drag it from the window back to the Tab toolbar area on the right. It initially appears on the right. Then clicking 'Done' on the Customize Toolbar window converts the icon to a tab but places it back at the left hand end of the tabs.
I'm sure this didn't happen before - so it's a possibility I have messed something up but I can't seem to correct it? -
For a long time my chosen websites appeared as thumbnail images on the new tab page when I began a new session, maybe since about FF15, I don't recall for sure. Recently, however, whilst using FF20.0.1 this behaviour stopped and none of the thumbnail images for my selected websites opened up, although the links to them remained and this behaviour has continued to FF21, which I have been using since yesterday (19th May). This is not a serious issue, but I do like things to work properly and to understand why they don't. I don't know why there should be a relationship between the two events, but the problem began after having opened the new tab page and before the images opened up I clicked on one of the links - where the thumbnail image would normally be - to go to the website; thereafter FF failed to retain a memory of the thumbnail images from one session to the next. By the way, I never empty my history cache only my main web cache that has previously had no effect on my new tab thumbnails, not since about FF15 or so anyway.
Cor-el, hi.
When I opened FF about ten minutes ago I noticed that the new tab thumbnail image I had brought up from my previous session had been remembered, so I opened some of the other websites listed to bring back their images too; I then shut FF down, re-opened it and the new tab page to find all the images had been recalled. Next, I shut down the computer to determine whether or not the images were getting lost that way; on rebooting the computer and launching FF I again found the images were still there. Now I closed the new tab and emptied the main cache (43 MB); on opening the new tab the images were still opening (you will recall that when the new tab thumbnails first came out they disappeared on emptying the main cache). Bearing all this in mind I have not yet tried your suggestion of temporarily disabling the add-ons in safe mode because if the thumbnail images came up that would not currently tell me anything. Also, the problem I described in my first post does not remotely coincide with the installation of any add-ons, which have not been recent. Given then that my thumbnails are appearing after the cache has been cleared where does FF get them from now? I still don't understand this recent behaviour and why for the moment the problem is not occurring. Thanks again. -
I am trying to open a pages document however it tells me I need the new version to do so. I have installed the new version however it keeps saying I need the new version. I have noticed that I still have the old blue ink pot icon not the new orange pen.
Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932160''
[Re-posted with additional details when I thought this post had failed. Please respond to the other post and ignore this one. My apologies for the duplication.]
In some windows, seems more likely after a crash recovery (but not sure there's a connection), Firefox puts the New Tab "+" button to the left of my tabs instead of the right. This is annoying, because once you're used to clicking it to the right of your open tabs, it's confusing to sometimes find it to the left.
If I go into Customize mode, it still shows the "+" tab on the right, but as soon as I close Customize, it's really still there on the left edge of the screen.
Why does this happen and can I stop it? I have seen no reports of this problem posted by others, but it's been happening for me since at least Version 12 and not fixed by version 13.0.1.This may be related to session restore.

Why is it, after I downloaded the new version of steve jobs, I lost all my highlighted placements in the book and whenever I tried to highlight something, it lags tremendously. Is there a reason for this?
And all placement in which I highlighted in previous version of the book, it directs me to a completely different page and sentence in which I highlighted previously. And the frustrating is, I can't delete the false highlight.
