Hierdie gesprek is in die argief. Vra asseblief 'n nuwe vraag as jy hulp nodig het.

how can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.

There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.

Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

The freeze net assistant was the culprit
