Hi all,


Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.

I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.

What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.

I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work. When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.

What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.

Thank you and appreciate the help!!

Note: (1) about:config reset: - Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter. - To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!". - In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url - In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.

(2) Custom Add On reset: - Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/ - Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category. - Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button. - Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

Dear philipp and cor-el,

Thank you very much for your help! I cleared all installation in Firefox and did several restart, now the problem disappears (though I still not know what is the root problem). Thanks again for the prompt help.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

Hi Philipp,

Thank you for the prompt feedback. When I launch Firefox in safe mode, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar. So it is an add-on problem? I tried to disable my add-ons but the problem persist. Can you advise on how to analyze which add-ons interfere with this function?

Thanks.

ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...

Hi Philipp,

I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists. One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?

Thanks.

Sorry I meant I uninstalled them all already.

Did you recently moved any toolbar items to a different position?

Try to click the Restore Defaults button to restore the default toolbar setup.
