Hi FIREFOXED, I haven't noticed a limit on the built-in new tab page. What page is this --

Each new tab is set to be FF search.

Each new tab is set to be FF search. But any more than six tabs and the seventh just hangs won't load the page. I hvae to close one and then open a new one Win 7 64 bit FF 66 64 bit

This sounds like a RAM issue. Does this action occur in other Browsers if you do the same actions?

Not RAM . I have 16 GB RAM. Happens when only one third RAM in use. I don't use other browsers much

Did you try Firefox Safe Mode ?

Can you attach your troubleshooting information?

The search engine shouldn't matter. Since these contents are built-in to Firefox, they shouldn't be subject to limitations on how many connections Firefox can open to a server. Hmm.

Could you try turning some categories on and off, and opening new tabs in between, to see whether updating your settings for the page helps? You can click the gear/wheel/sprocket icon in the upper right corner of the page, or use the Home panel of the Options/Preferences page.

i only have websearch ticked

Yes, I had figured that out from your screenshot and testing in a clean profile. I can still open more than 10 tabs rapid fire -- Ctrl+t over and over -- with that setup.

Do you want to try my suggestion?

Firefox wouldn't normally show a new tab page with the Firefox logo and no cogwheel button in the top right corner.

What is the URL of that new tab page and are you using an extension to set the new tab page? That is the main reason I asked for the troubleshooting information.

Think i fixed it. There was an FF in my C Programs (86) as well as in my C Programs. Think they were in conflict

I uninstalled FF from programs and features. Now it works OK but even though i have the FF in (86) folder which now reads FF 64 bit there is no FF in programs and features

The troubleshooting information shows: Enterprise Policies: Active It shows 64-bit Firefox 66.0.5 on Windows 7.

You can check the about:policies#active page to see whether/what policies are active.

thanks i had two FF's
