I downloaded a swagbucks toolbar and it has been a pain ever since. Now when i open new tabs it goes to swagbucks website.

i followed these directions below, but it did not work. What else can I do to change to address my new tab goes to? thanks in advance...........


In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. 

   Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
   Type browser.newtab.url in the search box.
   Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and change the url to about:blank

Click OK and close the about:config tab.

Your extensions list shows the SwagButton 219 (shopearn@prodege.com) extension.

Do you want to keep this extension or do you want to remove it?

The browser.newtab.url pref is no longer supported in Firefox (41+), so it is no longer possible to set the new tab page via a pref.

You can look at this extension to set the new tab page:

You can set the new tab URL via the Options/Preferences of the extension on the about:addons page.

You can look at this extension if you use the home page as the new tab page.

Classic Theme Restorer includes this feature as well. You find "New tab page url" in the Tabs (2) section.

You can use pages like these:

  • the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
  • the default home page is about:home
  • for a blank page use about:blank
  • use the URL of a web page

See the about:about page for available about pages.
