If you’re using Firefox, there’s a good chance that you’ve noticed that the new tab button is no longer working. This is because Mozilla has removed the old tab button in favor of a new one that’s designed to make it easier to access your current page. To remove the new tab button from your Firefox browser, follow these steps:
- Open Firefox and click on the three lines in the top left corner of the window. This will open a menu where you can select “Options.”
- In “Options,” select “Privacy.”
- In “Privacy,” select “New Tab Button.”
- Click on the new tab button and then click on “Close.”
Before
If you are a keyboard ninja and prefer to use “Ctrl + T” to open new tabs instead of the “New Tab Button” then you might feel irritated with having to look at that button every day. But what to do about it?
Here you can see the “New Tab Button” sitting on the “Tab Bar”…but not for long!
After
Once you have installed the extension and restarted Firefox there are no options for you to worry with. Just sit back and enjoy the view! As you can see, the “New Tab Button” is history.
Conclusion
The Remove New Tab Button extension makes a great addition to Firefox for those who prefer to use keyboard shortcuts to open new tabs or just do not like the New Tab Button cluttering up their UI.
