View Full Version : Firefox 13.0 Tips

Hello all, if you're like me the recent Firefox update is annoying (13.0). Now, when you open new tabs it shows your history. I don't like this because if you ever need a quick Cntrl-T to hide a page (like this forum), it shows sites you spend (read: waste) the most time on :lol:

It's easy to change this, but it's not in the Options where it should be so follow my simple steps!

1. Type in "about:config" in your browser bar. Agree to continue where it says "I'll be careful, I promise"
2. Search "browser.newtabpage.enabled", or scroll down to find it
3. Right click and hit Toggle
4. Done! Hit Cntrl-T to test.


If you want to actually select a website for New Tabs to open to every time instead of a blank page, go to the same place, and select the option below it called "browser.newtab.url" and right click to Modify. Then change that to whichever site you prefer.


Anyways, all very simple. Hope it helps one or two who were bothered by this update as I was.

Exactly, that's one thing I hated about Chrome

I call BS, 14 isn't out until July :lol:

Another thing they're getting rid of whenever 15 rolls around is Window-based dl manager for a panel based one. I prefer window based. Hopefully there's a way to maintain that.

:lol: Even my girlfriend laughs at me for constantly editing and reworking the things I write. It's one thing I've tried to get better at with work emails first and foremost.

So I take my time, edit my work and send work after great thought and reworking when it counts

Here I just edit because I have a quick trigger finger with that post button and I don't really mind if people make fun of me for it :lol:

The Nightly version is the developers/experimental version...it's 64 bit and they warn you that a lot of things may or may not be compatible with it.
