How do you get the home page to stay the same when you reload your firefox after changing homepage

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/833594]</blockquote>
We previously had google as our main home page then tried a page called bearshare. Now we want to change the home page back to google. I have tried numerous times typing in the new home page under tools, options then general tab and when we close firefox and then reopen the page it loads bearshare again so we go back to tools option again and it has automatically changed back to bearshare. We are running windows xp on our system and prefer google but bearshare is annoying as it doesn't find alot of kids games sites that we can get through google. Please help what do we do to stop it from changing back all the time?

Type '''''about:config''''' in a new window address bar. Click ''''''I will be careful'''''.
You will see all kinds of information that Firefox uses so it knows how to
work. There is a search bar at the top of the page. Type ''''''browser.startup.homepage'''''' and check its entry. You can change it to what
ever web page you want, or you can enter; ''''''about:blank'''''' for a blank page.
I use the Firefox home page; '''''about:home'''''. After, go back to the search bar
and type; '''''browser.newtab.url'''''. This is what a new tab page will display.
Do the same thing here. You can have the same for both or have each open to
different pages.

    How can I get the same candy crush level on my phone and iPad?

    The only way to synchronize is connecting to FaceBook. I just set up my girl friend's iPhone to connect with FaceBook, which then updated the phone's level; then I downloaded the app (again) on her iPad and selected connect to Facebook. I'm not sure what the downfall of synchronizing through FaceBook is.... all I can tell you is it worked and now her iPad shows the same level as her iPhone. Good luck!

  • How can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in internet explorer

    how can I get the right click to work in firefox -- it works in interne

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • How do I get the same song to play on the main menu and during scene select

    I would like the music to play continuously throught the menu and scene selection. As it is I have to drag the audio file into each scene selection, and the music starts at the beginning.
    At least, is there a way to remove the awful sound track that iDVD has on the themes?
    iMac 20 core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yes I can add audio, how do I get the same song to play throughout the chapter menus? I have 30 "chapters", which are scenes from an hour of home movie. Can the same song play continuously throughout the different chater menus?. As it is now, I have to drag an audio file into every submenu, and it starts the song at the beginning for each chapter menu.
    Otherwise, that same song that is preloaded on the theme is played. I hope this makes sence, kind of hard to explain. Thanks

  • How can I get the same session with jdbc?

    HI
    After I create or use a JDBC connection,
    i do a query.
    How can I get the same session next time?
    thanks a lot!

    Hi qin,
    Unless I have misunderstood your question, a 'connection' and a 'session' are the same thing. When you obtain a database connection, you have created a database session. Once you close that connection, the session dies -- it no longer exists. You cannot obtain the same 'session' when you get another database 'connection' (after you closed the first one).
    Hope this answers your question.
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

    How can I get the email for a rescue I'd to change my security questions

    You can't add or change a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) until you can answer your questions - if you don't already have one then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551
    When you've got them reset you will then be able to add a rescue email address for potential future use

    If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

    She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
    Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

  • I keep getting the same dialogue box upon opening Firefox but don't know what to do about it

    I keep getting the same dialogue box upon opening Firefox but don't know what to do about it "Could not initialise the application's security component. The most probable cause is problems with files in your browser's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard drive is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the browser and fix the problem. If you continue to use this browser session, you might see incorrect browser behaviour when accessing security features." I have gone to tools - general tab - browse files - but it wont let me browse or set a place to staore files. Any ideas?

  • How do I get my home page back and uninstall "home.mywebsearch"?

    When I open up Mozilla Firefox the home page has been changed from "comcast.net" to "http://home.mywebsearch.com/index... Is this from Firefox? What happened to my homepage? What is this page, and how do I go back to the home page comcast.net? Who is "Mindspark" since it says it's the owner of the site when I click for more details. It says if you want to uninstall this just go to the "start" menu, "control panel" and "add/remove program" and select "MyWebSearch Bar" but this is not listed to add or remove. Can you tell me what happened and how to get my home page back? Thank you.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Today

    Yes, Jason, and I would like to assure you that for not being spyware, malware, etc., this thing sure acts like it. It phones home constantly and manages to still remain on my computer...even after deleting the app from my programs. I've had to resort to a very aggressive spyware removal application to get rid of your company's crap toolbar and the verdict is still out on whether it did the job. I rate applications on not just their usefulness but on the size of their footprint and how easy they are to remove if I don't want them. On a scale from 1-10, (10 being the best) MyWebSearch gets a negative 2.
