Now on Firefox 28.0. I got an update for Divx and installed. Following this new tabs were direct to search.conduit. I uninstalled this but now when I open new tabs I get a blank page and have to manually direct to my homepage. Previously a new tab opened automatically as my home page (Google). Starting Firefox gets me the correct homepage. How can I ensure that each new tab opens to my homepage?

Your settings might have switched when you installed DivX. You can set the new tab page to something different by the following:

  • Navigate to about:config
  • Click I'll be careful, I promise!
  • Search for browser.newtab.url
  • Double click the string, erase about:newtab and enter the one you want (www.google.com)
  • Close down Firefox and re-open.
