Regards Deepak krishnan P.R

Thanks Deepak...unfortunately none of the mentioned steps could help me... There are 6 options under tabs Open new windows in a new tab instead Warn me when closing multiple tabs Warn me when opening multiple tabs as it might slow down Firefox Don’t load tabs until selected When I open a link in a new tab switch to it immediately Show tab previews in taskbar

None of them helps i have tried and tested.

Please help me on the issue.

okay let me check with.

do check that tools -> add-on -> extensions check any add-on are activated related to the same.

There was an add on in the add ons>>>extension section.... on removing the add on, the problem got solved... Thanks...

Ask. com is still showing up when I open a new tab, but it's not listed in the add on extension section or anywhere else that I can find.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

• https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

1. open "about:config" in address bar, if u see warning just click "I’ll be careful, I promise!" 2. write "browser.newtab.url" in search box 3. right click on "browser.newtab.url" and click reset 4. finish 5. i hope this is helpful

I have the same problem. I opened about:config and followed the instructions but when I right click on "browser.newtab.url" I don't see the options to reset and finish. Do I have to perform an action listed previously to this one that will enable the reset and finish options? Please advise. Thank you.

If reset in the right-click context menu is not enabled then the pref already has the default value.
For browser.newtab.url this would be the default new tab page about:newtab.

If you do not get this about:newtab page when you open a new tab then it is likely that you have an extension that overrides this.
