FF 15.0 + FD 4.4.2 = do not open FD when create New tab.
Pentagrammer —Sat, 09/01/2012 - 02:51
For reproduce:
1. start FF 15.0
2. Click on "+" for open New tab
As result we get the blank page - without FD
How it can be fixed?

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Thu, 09/06/2012 - 16:17The top field has to be New Tab Page for the second field to open !!

Yes, sorry I misunderstood you. Pentagrammer"s screenshot is of the Blank Page setting. Which doesn't allow you to enter a url. But he was talking about the new tab page setting. Confusing:)

I would like to see Pentagrammers picture of the TMP settings with the URL included as it should be.
And no talk of the Firefox Settings
Then things will be clearer
If the first field is wrong then the about:blank in Fast Dial will not work.
The first field HAS to be New Tab Page

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Thu, 09/06/2012 - 16:33The only way to get round this is to force the New Tab Page in the Fast Dial js, which would be an easy matter to achieve
Not sure if it is necessary
But it would be a stronger statement and would correct matters.

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Thu, 09/06/2012 - 17:50Thanks
So maybe we could consider modifying js at some point
First of course we need to sort Pentagrammer, but there are other users of 15 with problems and it is
not clear why.
When we know we can move..

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Thu, 09/06/2012 - 17:58This is the whole crux of the problem
Lifted from TMP Forum
Default Firefox new page was about:blank until version 12, now its about:newtab

I disagree that the advent of the new tab page is the crux of our problem. After all FF12-14 worked perfectly with TMP and Fast Dial. All the settings changed synchronously and nobody had any problems. Something must have happened to FF15 that in some small way changed how TMP worked. The problem is, we have to reproduce the problem on our computers, otherwise we can't do anything. It would be like fixing something that we don't know for sure is broken. Whatever I do, I can't for the life of me reproduce what all the users are experiencing. I'm leaning toward some other addon causing the problem...
