Where is the file that creates the mozilla firefox start page found?

I like the Firefox start page but want to tweak it a bit. Where can I gain access to the file? I am using Firefox 29.0.1
Thanks

In the omni.ja file in Firefox Program Files. Open '''about:home''' then right-click and select View Page Source. The path to the aboutHome.xhtml file is in the titlebar. 
The problem with editing that file is that every 6 weeks when Firefox is updated you'll probably have to edit that file all over again.
What specifically do you want to tweak? 
Additions or changes can usually be accomplished thru a userContent.css file, for most things. 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserContent.css
For instance - hide the "snippet" and hide the "bar" at the bottom with Downloads, Bookmarks, etc :
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:home) {
#snippetContainer { display:none !important; }
@-moz-document url(about:home){
#launcher { display: none !important; }
</nowiki></pre>

How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

See these articles for some suggestions:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

COMBO BOXES AND SOME PAGES ARE NOT SHOWN CORRECTLY IN SOME WEBSITES LIKE SBICAPSEC AND MAXNEWYORK LIFE. BUT NO PROBLEM USING WITH IEXPLORER

I am not able to login to maxnewyork life insurance site while using firefox. I am using firefox 3.6.10 now. Combo boxes are not shown in the some trading websites. I uses noscript2.0.3.3, javaconsol6.0.21, javascript option 1.2.6 and WOT20100908. It creates feeling of inferiority in using Firefox due to these problems.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Icons of firefox menu bar are not shown properly

I've recently updated my firefox to Version 35.0, When I opened it the icons for the menubar are missing. I tried using the suggestions found in this site:
1.Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced
2.gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled
3. reset firefox to default
but not of these worked. I haven't noticed if there are changes in web sites though. But it's just frustrating that i can't see icons on my browser

Did you try to click the Restore Defaults button in the Customize palette window?
Try to rename (or delete) the xulstore.json file in the Firefox profile folder.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

I accidentally removed some ms office files from macbook through app cleaner . now they are in trash . how to restore them as some applications are not opening

i just downloaded appscleaner from net and accidentally removed some of the ms office files like database utility , entourage ,etc. now when i open word, excel , it shows some message . how to restore the files. i tried by dragging them to the desktop but don't know how to reinstall them at original place.

Dragging them to desktop was not a good idea. Now you need to know where they came from.
For any still in the Trash right-click on the file and select "put back" from the context menu.
What version of Office, and what are the file names? We may be able to help you trace where they should be.

At start-up or hitting "home" firefox is opening 2 "Firefox start pages" at a time how do I fix this so it only opens 1 at a time?

when Firefox loads it opens 2 home pages. Also if I use the "Home" button it also then opens 2 home pages. What can I do to fix this?

Reset your homepage so there is only one homepage instead of two?
See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page How to set the homepage]

URL'S of all the pages are not shown by aurora 12.0a2. on opning and browsing the net

URL'S of my firefox has been gone. i cant see the url's of the pages. please suggest how can i make the url's appear again.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Mozilla Firefox Start Page Scam Attachment

On my Firefox Start Page I have been getting the following message under the map of the World-
" Mozilla as maker of Firefox is non profit and we rely on donations and grants. If everyone reading this gave $3, we would only have to fundrais 1 day a year- Donate Today"
How do I get rid of this Permanently. I reset Firefox and it goes awya but when I reboot my computer it reappears.
Any Tips.
Billboy

Hi Billboy
I do not remember seeing such a message myself, so maybe it is a scam. (I rarely look at the homepage)
*What is the address of the page you are opening as a homepage ?
** What is the apparent scam address ? Right click and use any copy URL/copy link address option then paste that into your reply.
#Highlight the information in the addressbar and copy and paste it into your next message. (that may not actually be possible)
#Click on the icon at the left of the addressbar, what information does that provide.
#Compare the page with the page you get by keyng into the addressbar ''about:home'' then hitting the return key on the keyboard. That should give you the normal homepage.
Did you have a problem using the green button when you posted your message ? Your full Firefox system details are not shown.

Whenever I click the "home" button, my homepage appears but a Firefox start page also opens in a new tab. How can I stop this?

This problem began only after I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox.

Hi Doug,
Sorry about that. It might be that '''both''' your homepage and the Firefox Start page are set as your homepage.
Here's how to reset your homepage:
# Open your homepage and close any other tabs
# Click the [[Image:New Fx Menu]] menu button and click ''Preferences''
# In the Preferences Window click ''General''
# Click the ''Use Current Pages'' button
Hopefully this will fix things. Let us know if it works!
Best,
Jayelbe

My Bars are all stacked one on top of the other ie ASK A QUESTIONS, under that: File, Edit, History etc, under that Mozilla Firefox start page, tab tab etc. This uses 1/3 of my screen, can I make it all one bar

I don't know how to insert a screen shot of my problem but as described above, right now I have 5 bars on top of my window.
1. Ask a question under that
2. File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help under that
3; Mozilla Firefox start page (tab Ask a Question)
under that
4. Address line (www.you ask me.com) under that
5. Latest headlines, most visited, City of Balch Springs etc.
I don't want all these bars and I don't want all that window space used.
What ever you can do to help will be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks for the reply however, I don't want to "not show" these toolbars I just don't want them stacked one on top of the other. See what I mean with the snapshot attached. (Hopefully attached)

I reinstalled Firefox and somehow I lost the tool bars all I see is the "Firefox" and a "Firefox Start Page" tab, but nowhere to type in the web addreess

I reinstalled Firefox and somehow I lost the tool bars all I see is the "Firefox" tab and a "Firefox Start Page" tab, butdon't get the next line to enter the webaddress.
I had gotten some other extraneous tool bars up there an deleted them.
I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem still exists.

Press "Alt" then View > Toolbars, and checkmark any missing toolbar.
You can make '''Firefox 6.0.2''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Since re booting and installing FF there is no file / tools / help at the head of the page.

I recently re booted and when installing Firefox back onto my computer, since then the file - tools - help bar at the top of my homepage is not present.
How do I restore this as I have tried this and upgraded to Firefox 4 and this feature is still missing ?.

I had the same thing happen. right click on the little house (Home) icon, and select Menu Bar. That should restore it.

Running Windows 7 on Dell laptop, Yahoo is set as homepage, but Firefox start page always appears first. Help!

Recently, I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader update. I am not sure if it is related to the problem. For years, I've run Mozilla Firefox and I prefer it to IE. Suddenly, I find that after booting-up, my homepage has been "hijacked" to show the Mosilla Firefox start page, even though my control panel shows my homepage to be yahoo. ( I DID select Yahoo.) How can I get rid of Mozilla Firefox wanting to show itself FIRST? This always happens, starting just in the past two days or so. It's as if Mozilla Firefox has decided: "Yes, you chose Yahoo for your homepage, but I don't care. I want you to be shown OUR page before anything else." It defeats the purpose of selecting a homepage. I'd welcome a solution to this problem!

Just to be sure: In the preferences you do have ''"Show my homepage" ''enabled parallel to the yahoo URL visible in the box?
