Hello Im updated firefox to quantum and now i have problem with opening webpages in new tab. When open firefox everything looks like OK, but when o open new tab and write any website, nothing do. I found some topics when some peoples wrote to disable addons (run in safe mode). I´ve tryied that but no changes.

Any idea how to solve that ?

thanks

Fortroubleshoot, best option is to see firefox.cfg file whitch is locate in c:\program files\mozilla\.....

and prefs file whitch is in your profile appdata/roam ....

My faulty line was browser.migration.version So maybe yours will be same, if not just try remove line by line and you will find the wrong line :)

Maybe this will help for those, who have same problem as me.

Good luck :)

Screen shot of the error?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

FredMcD - as i wrote, i tryied that.

I found one line in prefs whitch was problematic. Now its works fine :)

thanks guys
