Firefox Issue

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

I am having an issue with Firefox that I can seem to fix. Now before I get started, I will tell you that I did visit Mozilla about this problem, but it was either over my head or their solution was too complex. So, is anyone else having this issue.

When I open my browser an options tab opens as well. Now this wouldn't be that big of a deal, but if I open a new tab then another options tabs opens. Anyone know a fix for this that doesn't involve going into the data base or bringing in a tech support guy from NASA?

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Nope, the answer is 42. Of course no one knows the question.
This is the reason for religion.

Most people like extra options.

Ya..... the only options for a new tab is Blank page or suggested sites
They should have a home page choice whic in my case is a search engine "Google"
Usually when one opens a new tab, it's to search for something.

There is a tool 'new tab homepage', for me that is a search engine.

Closest I could get to Google home page with the least amount of junk...

I have one page listed in my options page and this add-on
Ben Basson - New Tab Homepage

videodownloadhelper is also a decent tool if you keep youtube or any other streaming video for viewing later.

adblocker will kill the ads in youtube

Video downloader is the reason I went to Firefox years ago....Firefox is also better for uploading videos to youtube..IE stalls often and on a video that is more than 20 min. long and you have to restart...

Here is a stand-alone program, I use it for downloading playlists and hq video. There should be an upload module and that would allow you to use Edge.
DVDVideoSoft | World's #1 Freeware for Windows and Mac

If flash ever stops working VLC has a plugin that plays flash. I have to allow it each time rather than one is good forever but at least the streaming clip plays. (for places like this)PrimeWire | 1Channel | LetMeWatchThis - Watch Movies Online Free - Just Added

I went into the options page and reset the homepage link. With the new update it adds a bunch of garbage that makes it wonky.

Dunno about you but what Mhz suggested worked for me....

He does have his sane moments :lol:
