I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google browser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling, but it is no longer installed as an add-on

I downloaded iMesh and I can't stop it from automatically popping up each time I request a new tab. I have uninstalled the program, but I want to stop it from defaulting as a new tab. I tried uninstalling the add on and plug in, but it is no longer installed as an add-on or plug in. How do I get the "new tab" request to simply open with a blank address in the address box instead of www.imesh.com.

Ok, I finally managed to get rid of it.
First I did the thing with the about:config but I flitered for imesh instead and managed to reset two thing but when I got to the keyword.URL I got the same thing as lolbabe98 did with the "An attempt to change your search engine or homepage was blocked."
Then I did a search on my C: drive for iMesh and discovered some things that hadn't been removed even though I had unistalled both the toolbar and the actual program. After that it worked fine and I now have a regular "untitled" tab when I open a new tab.
One last thing, when I tried to remove some of the files there was one that said it was in use, it was called datamanagerUI or something rather. The only thing I had to do there was to open Task Manager and kill a process called DATAMN~1 and I was able to remove it. Hope this helps.

I've just started using the App Tabs. I think this feature could be handy but why are the sites not updated when I start Firefox. Now I have to manually update the site which is somewhat of a downer. Does any of you know where I'm going wrong?

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

I finally got my desired homepage to open when I start firefox, but I still cannot click on my home icon with firefox open and have it go to my set homepage.

I changed the target in properties to fix the initial start problem, but even with my homepage set in the control panel, it will not go there when clicking the home icon.

Hello,
Note that your version of Firefox is outdated, you can update by going to:
* Help > About Firefox
* Please see this link for all of the security updates since version 27: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/
Is there a reason you are adding the link to the target line of Firefox? You can change your home page settings at:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
If that works for you, you do not need to modify the target line for your Firefox shortcut.
If you are finding changing your home page there doesn't work, you may want to see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]], and/or scan for malware:

How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Last website i looked at is the page that opens when i start firefox

I basicly dont want firefox to go to the last website i looked at when i start it. i have tried to change the option to warn me when closeing more than one tab. but it doesent show up. i have tried to reinstall firefox but it still opens with the last website i opened. dont know what to do anymore and i would realy hate to have to reinstall windows because of this, but its so anoying that i will soon do this =(
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I accedentaly pressed the option (warn when closing more tabs thing)

Nesse,
You'll want to change the "When Firefox starts" setting under Tools -> Options -> Main (General in 3.6+) to '''Show my home page'''

I want to use the speed dial extension when I start firefox. I have the option checked in speed dial settings but firefox does not open to the speed dial. How do I get this to work?

I want firefox to open up to the speed dial add-on so I can use it as my start page. In the speed dial options I have checked the option to start firefox in the speed dial but when I open firefox it doesn't open the speed dial.

Sorry, I don't use that add-on, and I don't see a SpeedDial support forum listed on the download page. 
Here is the SpeedDial homepage. 
http://speeddial.uworks.net/
http://speeddial.uworks.net/manual.html

I open home page everything is shown. I open new tab, the screen is black. I go back to homepage, that screen is now black. Have to close out Firefox and then log back in before I can see homepage again. Happens everytime a new tab opens.

Problems since 5.0 was upgraded.

An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the extra tab?
Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

How do I keep the email address showing when i enter hotmail because every time a different user enters you have to completely log in again

before everyone's address was always on screen so you could easily log in, now there is only ever one address and I don't know what to do to keep the configuration as it was before

The website maybe using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from filling the name automatically.
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to test that.

I've just upgraded to 7.1 and I need to know, How do I get the page that shows me current eventsand sports to open when I start Firefox?

also when will 7.1 be compatible with Yahoo?

Hello Jane.
No, that feature is not in Firefox. You may want to install an extension that lets you do that, though. For example, this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/9275/

Hi. I have rented and downloaded a film from the iTunes store but every time I try to play it I get the message: An unknown error occurred (-42110). Please try again later. I've been trying for two days!

Can anybody help me with the above question? There doesn't seem to be an email address for simple queries about services that don't work!

Perhaps try the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
