Why is the new tabs page not loading?

My firefox is supposedly up to date but the new tabs page isn't loading nor is the icon in the corner coming up so I can turn it on.

then please try running firefox in safemode once and see if this is working as intended - maybe one of your extensions is interfering...

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Why is the new Orkut version not loaded in Firefox Aurora?

    The new version of Orkut was normally loaded on Firefox Aurora, then only the old version is available. =

    Lr 3 is ancient in software terms - you can't expect a software company to update old software for new cameras ad infinitum.
    Two options: upgrade to Lr 5 (which is a bargain, and well worth the price of upgrade), or download the free DNG converter, convert the NEFs to DNG, and convert them in Lr 3.

  • Why can we not have subdomains on the new tab page any more?

    With the latest update to the new tab page they removed the ability to go to have subdomains. For example I can't have abc.com/news, abc.com/sports, abc.com/weather or something similar all up there, I can only go to abc.com

    hello pinkycatcher, you can drag any items from your bookmarks or history onto the default new tab page in firefox. this works for any url including subdomains...

  • When opening a new tab, IE9 opens a blank page, not the new tab page

    I change my settings to open a the new tab page when I open a new tab. This works for one boot of Windows. Second boot, the settings have magically changed back to opening a blank page.
    It worked to start with. I only just reinstalled Windows on this computer. Then a few days ago I didn't get my most recent sites when I opened a tab. Changed the settings. Next boot. They had reset.
    It seems as if the settings do not save. I had this problem on my older computer as well. Never found a fix.
    To clear up misunderstandings (there are some similar posts), when I select a link to open in a new tab, it always works.

    Hi ,
    In order to clarify the issue clearly, I would like to ask the following questions:
    Did you make the steps below to set “When a new tab is opened” to open your first home page?
    Open a new tab to your home page in Internet Explorer
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-a-new-tab-to-your-home-page-in-Internet-Explorer
    Will the home page change back after the second boot?
    Is this setting able to be saved?
    Is this your home pc?
    What’s the operation system?
    Generally, this issue  will not persist after reinstalling the Windows.
    I would recommend you to perform the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:
    1. Temporarily disable all the third party security programs and boot in
    Clean Boot to test the issue.
    2. I would suggest you to optimizing the internet explorer for better performance and check if it helps.

    Note: Resetting Internet Explorer’s settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot
    be recovered.

  • How can I set the New Tab Page so that it only shows my Bookmarks (Like chrome) and not the history ?

    Hello, I've recently installed Firefox on my new PC after giving Chrome yet another chance (I've had bad experiences with it) and after seeing crashes everywhere I just gave up. I'm a long-time Firefox user but I've never been able to figure out how to prevent the New Tab Page from showing the Browser's History.
    Is there a way to make Firefox show Bookmarks and Folders on the NTP instead ? Also, is there a way to make the Bookmarks bar show on the New Tab Page ONLY ?

    The about:newtab page shows pages that you have visited. So if you visit a page by clicking a bookmark then that bookmark will become a history item and will thus appear in one of the tiles on the about:newtab page.
    If you want then you can customize the tiles and drag bookmark (and history) items in a specific tile to pin that web page to that tile.
    You set the number of rows and columns that appear on the about:newtab page by modifying these prefs on the about:config page via a double-click.
    *browser.newtabpage.columns (3)
    *browser.newtabpage.rows (3)

  • On Firefox 13 the new tab page boxes are blank no matter how many times I visit a website

    I downloaded firefox 13 about a week ago and when I open a new tab the boxes that are supposed to display your most visited webpages don't work, if you go to your bookmark that says "Most Visited" that displays my most visited webpages fine but none of the pages show up on my new tab page. Also if I click and drag one of the websites into the boxes the website name appears but it never loads any picture for the website.
    If I don't click and drag the website to one of the boxes then the box is empty....there is no website, nothing. But I've gone to plenty of sites plenty amount of times and it is not showing up
    http://i.imgur.com/TWmAU.png --- Here's a image of what I see (to clear up any confusion)

    I tried starting it in safe mode and it still wasn't working so I reset firefox back to default everything and the new tab page seems to work now.

  • Why does a new tab page open along with my home page?

    When I go online, I expect to have only my home page open, instead, I have two tabs, my home page tab and New Tab and the New Tab page is the page that actually opens. This just started yesterday, why??

    Did you check the home page setting to make sure that it is still correct?
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
    You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
    You can check for problems with preferences.

  • The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

    When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

    If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
    You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

  • Why is the new Safari (7) not letting sound be heard from Soundcloud widgets (players) on my website when the earlier Safari worked fine, and other browsers also work fine?

    Might be an incompatible extension or plugin ...
    Try troubleshooting Safari extensions and third party plugins.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.

  • How to manually change the thumbnail images of the new tab page (without using addons)?

    I wanted to customize the images displayed on the thumbnails on the New Tab Page. I tried using the addon "New Tab Tools" to do so and it worked, for a while. Now a bug seems to have affected it (it is not displaying any thumbnails, so I uninstalled it). So I want to try another approach. I want to MANUALLY change the images for each of the thumbnail on the new tab page (of course, the thumbnails are 'pinned').
    (I read some other articles related to thumbnails, specifically about DELETING them, and it asked me to open the Firefox Profile Folder, and in there, delete the thumbnails folder. I thought I could simply change the images stored in it instead of deleting them, but there is NO thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder (I accessed the profile folder thru the troubleshooting information section in the help menu). So where is this thumbnails folder after all?)
    So, how can I do it?
    Thanks in advance.

    I note you are using Icedragon 26. Not sure I have come across that before.
    I guess they provide their own support, as they are apparently offering something based on an outdated and unsupported Firefox26. I see their forum has threads on Icedragon if you search for them, but at a quick glance I see no specific topic

    You could always install an official and up to date Firefox 29
    * See [[How to download and install Firefox on Windows]]
    * Download from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    You may note the New Tabs page may be subject to a few changes over coming versions of Firefox it is apparently being improved. Firefox itself as Fx29 is also slightly changed from Fx26

  • How do I change the new tabs page from google to the thumbnail one?

    I just downloaded some stuff and when I got back onto Firefox it made the home page and new tab page Google. I changed the home page back but I'm unsure of how to make the new tab page the way it is with the thumbnails. None of the articles I've read helped.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Annoying changes in the new tab page of Firefox 31

    I just upgraded to Firefox 31 and I've detected two annoying changes in the new tab page.
    First, the new search box, I don't need it at all because I use search engines with keywords in the address bar and I'd like to know how to remove it.
    Second, I had configured the new tab page to display 42 thumbnails (6 columns and 7 rows) and now it only shows 8 thumbnails. In the about:config the settings are still as I had them but only 8 thumbnails are shown no matter what number is set.
    Can anyone tell me how to solve these problems without downgrading?

    You may also want to suppress the large margin at the top.
    Note tha the his code should be in <u>userContent.css</u> and not in userChrome.css
    <pre><nowiki>/* about:newtab */
    @-moz-document url(about:newtab){
    #newtab-margin-top {display:none!important}
    #newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
    }</nowiki></pre>
    The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.

    * Create the <b>chrome</b> folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist

  • How do you create/add websites to the 'new tab' page?

    I followed the help link you guys have already created. It instructs to go the 'show all bookmarks' window and drag an already created bookmark to a vacant spot on the 'new tab' page. This doesn't work for my PC as after i drag the desired bookmark, it just opens that page on the new tab page. Please help out with how to add new tiles to the blank new tab page.

    Hi there,
    You want to save websites in the Firefox tab page tiles,this is how I do it.
    You have to have the bookmarks bar enabled if it's not showing in your
    Firefox.Right click on an empty space to the top of Firefox & click
    Bookmarks Toolbar,It should show under the address bar & search bar
    like mine.
    Go to what sites you want saved in the Firefox tab page,drag & drop the
    site in the Bookmarks bar.Open the Firefox tab page,now drag & drop what you saved in the Bookmarks bar onto one of the tiles,It should work.
    You can delete any sites saved in the Bookmarks bar,right click on it & click delete.
    Sites saved in the tab page may need to be pinned if you clear cache,history & cookies.
