How do I change the page that loads when I open a new tab? It brings up Bing search now.

I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 on an HP 4530 laptop. My desktop unit (home built) opens a new tab with a blank page. I'd like to open each with a specific search engine.

I guess the order should be changed, so that the keyword.URL and fixing the homepage in Firefox are last. After fixing all all the Bing and StartNow things. You probably have to reboot system after making those control panel changes, and restart Firefox after making configuration changes (sometimes needed though most are effective immediately or in a new window).

That one was done with a Microsoft update that incorrectly updated people not using Bing.

Bring up the Control Panel, under Programs and Features, uninstall the Bing Bar


in case StartNow is not removed

Remove "Start Now" extension which puts Bing search into a new tab,
Tools > add-ons > Extensions or "Ctrl+Shift+A" > Extensions

then uninstall "StartNow" and restart Firefox. may be found in c:\program files (x86)\StartNow -- use the uninstaller in the StartNow folder.

Since you stated you want to have a new tab open with a different search engine than Bing, you would have to instal an extension as that is not part of Firefox and there is no configuration option for that. See

and be sure to read the author's comments, just in case you have one of those other extensions.

I only see disadvantages to opening a new tab with a search engine, so I don;t.

Thanks for the reply. I followed the instructions, but when I right click "keyword.URL" the word "reset" is greyed out and does not work. The other command options are bold. Any ideas? Do you know which Microsoft update changes it? I have the same OS on both computers, but one goes to a blank page while the other goes to the Bing page. It's a minor issue, but still frustrating. Thanks again! Jim.
