Working with tabs allows you to significantly expand the capabilities of the browser. You can process as many pages as you want at the same time. This is very useful for any kind of employment on the Internet.
Mozilla provides the ability to customize tabs, group them, and the like. You can also configure the new tab settings: what will open there, and in what form. How to implement these settings, I will tell you now.
In what form a new page can open
In order to set the form for opening a new tab, you should go to Firefox in settings mode. To do this, enter the phrase “about:config” in the address bar and press the Enter button.
Important! This command must be entered. When copying, the browser will simply look for information on the Internet.
Agree to the Warranty Void Warning (the actions we take will not result in this).
You are now in configuration mode.
The parameter that controls the opening of a new tab is called "browser.newtab.url". By changing its value, you can:
- set the appearance of an empty tab when opening;
- write the address of the page that will constantly open.
Setting up an empty tab
For this:
Advice! The value for the page you need is set in the same way (it can be a quick access page, or a Yandex site, for example). Only instead of “about:blank”, you enter the address of the resource.
Note: You can make it so that when you open a browser, you have a completely different home page than when you open a new page. This is done like this:
As a result, you can make it so that when you open Mozilla, the forex site opens, and in an additional tab, for example, a page or .
A number of settings you can make
After going to “Settings” as described in the previous paragraph, go to the “Tabs” tab (sorry for the tautology).
Here you can make some settings by checking the boxes next to the desired item.
Advice! Very useful are the functions of switching to a new tab when it is opened and warning about closing a group of tabs. From my own experience, I can say that in the first case, the speed of work is significantly improved, and in the second, data is saved.
This is where all my knowledge about opening and setting up a new tab ends. Now you have detailed instructions for making changes, I hope it will be useful to you. Good luck to all!
Instruction
Launch the Mozilla Firefox browser - you will already have at least one tab open. At your choice, this tab can be an empty white form, or a web page designated as home, or even several pages at once - then when you start the browser, the corresponding number of tabs will open. In addition, it is possible to set an express panel with visual bookmarks as the start page (new tab). So first, analyze your situation and decide which of the possible settings will be the most preferable for you.
Don't leave an empty tab as your start page if you intend to visit a large number of the same URLs very often. Indeed, in this case, to go to your favorite sites, you will each time have to type these URLs manually, or look for the necessary links in your bookmarks and journal, or even use a web search. It would be much more expedient in this case to set as the start page (new tab) express panel developed for Mozilla Firefox.For more information on existing modifications of express panels (user reviews, tips on installation and settings), look on the Internet.
Do not waste your time and computer resources on installing, configuring and operating an express panel with numerous visual bookmarks if you regularly visit only a couple of sites on the Internet. In this case, it is better to assign them as home pages. When you start the browser and / or when you click on the "Home" button, they will open all at once - each site in a separate tab, and rare transitions to other links can be done from a blank page using conventional means.
Make the necessary changes to Mozilla Firefox settings. Open the browser menu - it is called by the orange button at the top left. Click on "Settings". In the window that appears, start with the "Basic Settings" group - in it specify the address (s) of the home page, and also select the most optimal option for displaying tabs when the browser starts. If you do not know how to do this, click on the "Help" button in the lower right corner of the settings window.
Go to the next group of settings - "Tabs". Please refer to the help system to select your preferred options. Check all the necessary checkboxes and click the OK button to save your settings.
Download the add-on you like. As a rule, after the installation process is completed, you need to restart the browser.
My regular readers probably know that I most often use a browser to surf the Internet. Mozilla Firefox. Recently, at work, I needed to keep several dozen tabs open at once with various web pages. In order for all the tabs to be visible and I could quickly find the right one, it was required arrange them in several rows.
This cannot be done using standard browser tools. But you can install a special extension for managing tabs Tab Mix Plus.
You can install this extension by following this link. On the page that opens, click the " Add to Firefox” - then restart the browser: 
After the extension is installed, you need to go to its settings. To do this, in the menu bar, click " Instruments” – “”:
Next, go to the "View" tab - "Tab Bar" - in the line "If there are many tabs" select " Arrange tabs on multiple lines". Then click the “Apply” button and close the settings window: 
After that, if you open a large number of tabs, they will not all be located in one row. You will have multiple rows of tabs.
On this, in general, you can finish. But personally, I recommend making a few more settings so that working with tabs is more convenient and familiar.
Default application Tab Mix Plus colorizes all unseen tabs red font
. At first glance, this is convenient, but after restarting the browser, it turns out that all tabs (both viewed and not viewed) are again colored in red. To remove this, go to "Tab Mix Plus Settings" - "View" tab - "Tab Options". We remove the checkboxes from the items “ Unread tabs" And " Unloaded tabs
Also I'm used to a new tab always opening immediately after the current. And after installing the plugin, a new tab will open after the last opened tab. To change this, go to "Tab Mix Plus Settings" - "Events" tab - "New Tabs". Put a checkmark here Open other tabs after the current one". Click the "Apply" button below: 
And finally: so that after closing the browser all open tabs remain in their place and did not disappear, do the following: in the Tab Mix Plus settings, go to the “Sessions” tab. Here we select: On browser startup: Show last opened windows and tabs". Click the "Apply" button below: 
That's probably all I wanted to say about the plugin Tab Mix Plus for the Mozilla Firefox browser. Install it yourself if you have to work with many tabs at once. By doing this, you will greatly simplify your life: open tabs will not be compressed in one line and go beyond the browser window, but will be located conveniently for you in several rows.
The Mozilla Firefox browser is a functional web browser that has a lot of customization options. In particular, the user can customize and display a new tab.
Absolutely any user of the Mozilla Firefox browser uses tabs. By creating new tabs, we can visit several web resources at the same time. And by customizing the new tab to your taste, web surfing will become even more productive.
A few more versions of Mozilla Firefox back, namely up to the fortieth version inclusive, in the browser, using the hidden settings menu, it was possible to set up a new tab by setting absolutely any web page address.
Let's remember how to proceed. It was required in the address bar of Mozilla Firefox to follow the link:
about:config
Users agreed with the warning and went to the hidden settings menu.
Here it was required to find a parameter. The easiest way to do this is by pressing the key combination Ctrl + F to display the search bar, and through it already find the following parameter:
browser.newtab.url
By double-clicking on the parameter, you could set absolutely any web page address, which would be automatically loaded every time you create a new tab.
Unfortunately, later this feature was removed, because. Mozilla considered this method to be an effective fight against viruses, which, as a rule, are aimed at changing the address of a new tab.
Now, not only viruses can not change the new tab, but also users.
In this regard, you can change the tab in two ways: standard tools and third-party add-ons.
Setting up a new tab using standard tools
When you create a new tab, by default Mozilla displays the top web pages you visit in the browser. This list cannot be supplemented, but unnecessary web pages can be deleted. To do this, move the mouse cursor over the page thumbnail, and then click on the displayed icon with a cross.
In addition, if you do not want the page to change its position, for example, after the appearance of new tiles, you can pin it in the desired position. To do this, hold down the page thumbnail with the cursor, move it to the desired position, and then hover over the tile and click on the pin icon.
You can dilute the list of frequently visited pages with Mozilla suggestions. To do this, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner of the new tab and in the window that appears, check the box next to "Including Suggested Sites" .
If you don’t want visual bookmarks to be displayed in a new tab at all, in the same menu hidden under the gear icon, check the box next to "Display blank page" .
Customizing the New Tab Page with Add-ons
Surely you are aware that using add-ons, you can completely change the way the Mozilla Firefox browser works.
So, if you are not satisfied with the third-party new tab window, you can redesign it using add-ons.
We have already reviewed Visual Bookmarks, Speed Dial and Fast Dial add-ons on our site. All these add-ons are aimed at working with visual bookmarks that will be displayed every time a new tab is created.
Mozilla developers regularly release updates that add new features while removing old ones. Time will tell how effective the step is to remove the ability to set up a new tab, but for now, users have to look for other solutions.
Very often, many users want to restore the tabs in Firefox that were open in the last online session (previous web surfing session). Some comrades remember which sites have been opened, but want to save time downloading them. Others are annoyed: “Yesterday I visited such interesting web pages, but today I want to download them all, but I don’t remember the addresses, URLs.” And there are people working on the Web who, immediately after starting FF, need to restore everything as it was (in the sense of the Mozilla tab) in order to continue working on the project, searching for information, etc.
In this article, you will find a comprehensive answer to the question of how to make Firefox save tabs. It discusses various ways to save tabs in Mozilla Firefox and then quickly restore them.
How to quickly open?
If you have the Mozilla Firefox start page set as your home page in your browser, the lost tabs open when you close them with just one click of the mouse.
In the bottom button bar, click "Restore previous session". After this action, FF will load all the saved pages left over from the previous Internet visit.
The "company" page of the browser is displayed by default on the start page. But if this setting has changed, you can return it:
1. Open in the menu: Tools → Options → General.
2. In the line "On startup ...", set the value to "Show home page".
3. In the "Home pages ..." field, delete all links so that the inscription "Mozilla home page ..." is displayed.
Journal recovery
After exiting FF, you can return open tabs in the last session in the weblog panel:
1. At the top right of the web browser window, click the "menu" button.
2. In the tiled menu, click "Journal".
3. In the submenu, select the "Restore closed tabs" command.
Advice! If you had to close a tab or tabs, but the Firefox window is still open, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + T to restore closed pages. Running this command again opens the next previously closed tab. In this way, you can restore the entire online session.
Browser setting for automatic recovery
If you want Firefox to load the tabs of the previous session every time it starts, do the following:
1. In the "Tools" menu, click "Settings", go to the "General" tab.
2. In the option "At startup ...", set the option "Show windows and tabs opened last time."
The last tab closed - closed and FF: how to fix it?
By default, when you close the last tab, Firefox also closes. Often this property causes the session to be interrupted: the user mistakenly closes the last page and FF along with it. Then you have to spend time restarting and returning the Internet session.
You can disable this setting like this:
1. In the address bar of a new tab, type - about:config.
2. Under the text of the warning, click "I accept ...".
3. Search for - closeWindowWithLastTab.
4. Double click the left mouse button on the found option to change its value from "true" to "false".
5. Restart FF.
Now you can safely close the tabs, the Firefox window will not close anyway.
Session manager to help
The Session Manager addon provides the ability to quickly save the tabs of both one and several sessions and open them if necessary. It can be downloaded from the official Firefox add-ons portal.
1. After installing and connecting the manager, open the “Tools” section in the FF menu.
2. Move the cursor over the "Session Manager" line.
4. In the settings panel, give the session a name. Click the "Save ..." button.
5. To load closed tabs, open the addon menu again (Tools → Manager) and click on the name of the required saved session. After activating this operation, the web pages will load automatically.
Which of these proposed tools to use to restore the tabs, the specific situation will tell you. But if we are talking about a single case, the standard setting of the web browser on the main page or in the web log will do. If you constantly need to return the session, it makes sense to set up automatic recovery in the Firefox options or use the Session Manager addon or its equivalent.
