When I try to open a new tab I get this: Server not found 




         Firefox can't find the server at www.[r;;iåvÞyevq¾qîx»òki.com.
       
       

 Check the address for typing errors such as
   ww.example.com instead of
   www.example.com
 If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
   connection.
 If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
   that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Hi Tylerdowner. Whilst you indeed solved my problem perhaps you can help again as when I open a new tab I do not get my home page but a mixture of 9 of the last pages I have been to. Can I set it so that I just get my google home page? Thanks for any help you can give. Les

Follow the directions I gave you before, but instead of clicking "reset", click "Modify". Put in www.google.com

to change tab url address do the following: 1)type about:config in search box (make sure do not type about.config) and press enter 2)scroll down & find the string called browser.newtab.url & double click on it 3)type in the desired url address you want your tab to open 4)click the ok button & go to new tab & open it.it should open up your desired address.

i inserted pictures below.i changed address to google.ca but you can have whatever you want.
