My default home page does not come up and my navigation bar is grayed out. I can't seem to fix it.

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I open my browser, I don't get my default home page, even though it shows under my options. When I conduct a search, I have navigation buttons, but once I open a page from the search engine results page, I have no navigation anymore. They are all grayed out.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • My default home page does not come up when I restart Firefox

    I set Google as my default homepage on my browser but every time I start my system it defaults to Bearshare. How can I ensure that Google is consistently my default homepage please?

  • Press Alt to popup Menu Toolbar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item does not come up AND the Tool Bar closes

    Options-->Menu Bar is Unchecked(off) (so, TABS are at the top of the screen):
    Press Alt to popup Menu Bar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item clicked on does not come up -and- the Menu Bar closes.
    So, Alt->Popup Menu Bar->Click a Custom Icon does not function properly.
    see Troubleshooting Info below-->

    First off if you have Firefox4 you probably also have an earlier version such as firefox 3.6.15 installed. By default firefox installs these in slightly different locations, but it leaves it up to you to create a separate profile for each version. The profile is where firefox stores data and settings. I am not sure that firefox explains this clearly, but you will run into problems if you do not have a separate profile for each version of firefox. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
    To try to get the toolbars working correctly, after you have ensured you have separate profiles in use for each version ( the following action will make changes)
    # use the restore default set from the customise / customize toolbars dialogue
    # if that does not work then
    #* use [safe mode] and the option [X] reset toolbars and controls

  • Home page does not come up with IE launch

    Windows XP IE 8 - The problem is that the home page will not come up when you launch IE. It shows "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". However, if you refresh the page THEN the home page is displayed. It is just the initial launch that is
    a problem. IE 8 was installed with a recent windows update. Any ideas on what is causing the problem? I would like to fix it with group policy since we have about 2,000 devices to touch for this.
    Thanks!!!
    Karon W

    Now the question is - how to fix that for 2000 devices without laying hands on each device.

  • When I click on the home(house) button my tabs become full/over 350 of them at once..and my home page does not come up.

    When I click on the "house" button, my tabs line fills up with addresses- over 350 of them and I still can not access my home page.

    Hello Salman.
    If you're certain that you have configured Firefox [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page correctly], and it's still not working, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.

  • My page does not come up in search engines

    I created a webpage with a blog and thought that I made it public therefore it could be found when people put in search words that are readily found on my website, but when I tested it myself my page does not come up.  What am I doing wrong?  HELP!!

    Search engines are not clairvoyant. So you have to tell them you exist :
         http://www.google.com/addurl/
    You could also have posted the URL in your message.
    Google indexes this forum in real-time and would have found your URL within hours.
    Then check it with this text in the search field :
         site:yourdomain.com
    Where yourdomain is your domainname, if you have one.
    Here's mine :
         http://www.google.com/search?q=site:wyodor.net
    You can also add the URL in the profile's preferences.

    Battery does not appear to charge
    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPod Touch to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPod Touch should wake up.
    If iPod Touch does not wake up, then iPod Touch should be serviced.

  • My firefox custom page does not come up when i click the firefox icon w/mac

    For the last 3 days when I click the firefox icon on my mac i get the plain igoogle page. My custom page does not automatically come up as befoe. Then I have to reset the i google password everytime then get to my page

    Ok, lets do a couple of steps here first:
    To make sure your windows isn't corrupted because of the power outage, let's run chkdsk.
    Click on My Computer, then right click your C: Drive (if you have other hard drives, you will want to run this on them as well). Then, click Properties. Inside that window, go to the Tools tab. Inside that tab, open up the "Check Now" button. That will open a smaller window. Select the checkbox to "Automatically fix file system errors", then hit Start. You will probably receive an error asking if you want to schedule the disk check, click Yes, then restart your computer.
    Read [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315265] for more information.
    After running the chkdsk, then please go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], and download a fresh version of Firefox. I'm assuming you are using Internet Explorer to download Firefox. Instead of hitting Run, let's try hitting save. Remember where it saves the installer file on your computer.
    After the download has finished, double-click and run the Firefox install. Once it is finished, try to start Firefox up. Let me know how it goes!

  • Flashing Apple logo - does not come on and cannot power it down

    My husband has original iPhone from Dec '07. For some reason, while using it, his volume went low and he could not raise it. He tried powering it down to reset it but screen went black and then apple logo came on, then went black, then came on, flashing like that for several minutes before going black. He brought it home, i tried holding the sleep/wake button, but same result - flashing apple logos for few minutes, then black. Tried holding home button but also same result. Plugged into computer - it came on but the "Sync in Progress, do not disconnect" did not come on and phone did not register on desktop even though iTunes showed it. Anyways, did a complete restore with most recent software but again, we're still having the same problem. Phone works when plugged into computer, but not in the way it should and once you unplug it from the computer, sleep/wake button does nothing and cannot power it down. After restoring it, i again tried to power down holding sleep/wake button, but got flashing apple logos again. Any suggestions? Do we need to just take this in and have it looked at?

    Have you tried booting it to recovery? If you haven't, try these steps:
    1) Close iTunes and unplug and power down your iPhone
    2) Press and hold the home button
    3) Keeping the home button held down, plug your iPhone into your computer
    5) Keep the button held down until a recovery screen with a pic of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon shows.
    6) Open iTunes and perform a restore
    If this doesn't solve your problem, you have to go to an Apple store and get it exchanged, as the above post said.

  • My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod touch is disabled.  When I connect it to itunes it does not come up on the screen as a device.  What can I do to get her itouch working again?

    My daughter forget her password and now her ipod touch is disabled.  Red message says to connect to itunes.  When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it.  I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it.  What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again?   Thanks

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Sharepoint 2013 Discussion Board Web Part, Subject line link on Home Page does not link to the list view

    I am by no means a SharePoint developer, but I really wanted to customize the discussion board for my site - so I found this link: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/733164/How-to-create-HelpDesk-on-SharePoint-Online
    I added the columns, like the article said, and then completed the section "Modification of the discussion board views".  I skipped the workflow stuff because while I think it would be useful I wanted to make sure I could get
    the actual customization of the discussion board to work first. 
    My Problem (Just to preface - I followed the above instructions, including disabling the Minimal Download Strategy):
    When I clicked into my discussion board list, I was able to get it to look and function as described for both the subject and flat views. However, when I click on the Subject, from the Discussion Board Web Part on my Home Page, it does not redirect into the
    Discussion Board List Flat View.  Instead, it tries to open the root folder from the Home Page while still using the subject view.  The outcome being an empty discussion board on the Home Page.
    So I decided to create a whole new discussion board to see if that one would work, when I inserted a new Discussion Board Web Part into the Home Page, newly created from the app menu, it used the same custom JS file(plumTickets), even though I never linked
    the discussion board to the JS file. Of course when I went into the newly created Discussion Board list it opened as it does OOTB.
    I am so close it having this work like I have been envisioning.  I just need users to be able to click on a discussion subject from the Home Page and be redirected to the list view of the parent folder (I think that is the correct terminology,
    but it may not be) so they would be able to see any replies and be able to reply.  Please Help Me!!!
    I truly appreciate any help you are able to provide, thank you!

    I figured it out. I was using ?FilterField1=fieldname&FilterValue1=value on the URL to the page to pick out one project number. The web part I was trying to add was for a list that did not have that particular fieldname. I didn't realize that would matter
    since I was using the Connections -> Get Filter Values From to get my filter values from the main web part, which does have that fieldname.
    I added a field with that fieldname to the other list and set a workflow to copy the lookup value of the project number lookup field into the new field. Now all is working fine.  Sorry for the wild geese in my original question.
