My homepage is set to google, but firefox always open to the previous page I was on. How do I fix this problem??

I have my homepage set to Google, but after I have closed the browser and come back to open it up another time, it goes tot he previous page I was on. I have checked all my settings and it shows that I have it set up properly, but it refuses to work.

Google may have put in a program that overrides what you want.
It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Open your '''Add-ons Manager <Control><Shift > A''' and make sure you
know what each one is and what it does.
Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
'''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
'''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
know what it is, use a web search.

    Start by rebooting the computer. If that doesn't work, search for adobefnt*.lst and delete all instances where * becomes a 2-digit number.

    I use escoinst.com for practice tests for epa classes, but firefox boots me off the site after about 15 minutes. I need to stay on this site for an average of 30 minutes. How can I remedy this problem?

    I just did the about:config....I do not have dom.ip.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll; I do have dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.np2pstub.dll;false. Also, my timeoutSecs is set at 45. I also noticed that a few of the things are listed as userset and the others are default. What should they be? I don't recall setting anything.

  • I have recently download the new pages, but from time to time my computer will revert back to the previous page software what can I do to fix this problem

    does anyone have a problem with the new page software? I am currrently running into the same problem with the old pages software re-appearing and any document that I had used with the new update, will not open. The system requires me to attempt to download a new version of page, when the newiest version has aleady been download and has been in operation.
    What can I do to fix this problem? I desire to use the new version at all times.
    Please help

    You just have to be particular with which Pages version you are opening the document. use Right click on the document and choose the right version of Pages.

  • Despite setting a Home Page Firefox always opens in the last page viewed. How do I solve this?

    I have followed the instructions for setting a Home Page. Firefox always opens in the last page I viewed. Clicking on the Home icon does take me to my Home Page once Firefox has opened.

    You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Getting error message setting up contacts "your setup cannot start because the iCloud server has stopped responding"   How can I fix this?

    Trying to set up contacts on Windows7 PC. Get error message that "setup cannot start because iCloud server has stopped responding.  How can I fix this?

    Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it.    Found this in another post and it worked great.
    Solution:
    Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

  • Firefox always opens with the last page from previous session. Setting this right (e.g. changing this to start up with blank or startup page) in Options/General, doesn't work.

    Screenshot of the options panel (that doesn't work):
    http://img170.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=214144211_FF_122_209lo.jpg

    All these "solutions" that have been offered to go to your settings and set your option to go to home page are 1.) not working and 2.) kind of a"duh". How many of us do you think have been set up like that for a few years now? And yet all of a sudden (i.e. new version of Firefox that apparently needs a little more testing...), this problem is occurring. It's getting really annoying too. We have defined home pages for a reason. Please correct this so we can return to them when we log in.

  • Why is Firefox so slow on Facebook and it's applications? How do I fix this problem?

    I love Firefox, but when I am on Facebook, especially Farmville or one of the other applications I use on Facebook, Firefox slows down drastically. It is Firefox because I downloaded Google Chrome and it is lightning fast while playing Farmville etc. I've done everything I could think of, including uninstalling some of the larger Add-on's that I had downloaded using Firefox. Nothing has sped it up even a little bit. I don't want to change browsers, but I hate switching back and forth between Firefox and Chrome. Does anyone know if anything is being done about this problem?
    Facebook keeps encouraging me to download their toolbar that can only be used on Firefox, I want to but sheesh, I can't handle the turtle speed of Firefox, I'm way to impatient for that.
    Been a Firefox supporter for many years, hate to change now.

    Hi Sara,
    I'm sorry that you're having issues with Firefox and Farmville. My first suggestion is to ensure that your plugins are up to date. For instance, Farmville relies on the Flash plugin, and I've noticed that your version is slightly out of date. You can check your plugins on our Plugin Check page: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/]
    Also, some add-ons, like CoolIris, require a fair amount of system resources to operate. i love add-ons and wouldn't surf the web without them, but sometimes it's easier to disable all of them and just turn on the ones you use to determine if any of them are the culprit.
    Another way to determine whether or not the problem is with Firefox or your installed add-ons is to create a fresh profile. You can create a new profile alongside your existing one that doesn't have any of your add-ons or bookmarks installed. Don't worry, it doesn't delete any of your existing data and switching between profiles is easy.
    Here's an article on how to do this:

    Your loyalty to Firefox is appreciated, and I hope this helps you with your problems- please reply if you'd like more help.

  • My firefox will allow me to open a page then it gets stuck on the second page and times out--how do I fix this. I have checked the sites on Explorer -it works

    It started with the second page not being able to be displayed
    example it would go to yahoo and I would sign in but the next page would just spin and time out
    Now it won't even go to the first page.
    Firefox will not let me go into the options to change cache.
    I am trying explorer and it works.
    Help

    This is a page within the Yahoo site? When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In that dialog, you can individually remove your yahoo.com cookies.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • ITunes recently decided my debit card's security code in invalid.  But nothing is wrong with the code or my card.  how do I fix this?  Apple support doesn't have a clue what they are doing and will not call me to fix this.

    My bank sent me a new Debit card because of some security issue.  It has the same number as my previous card but new experation and new security code. It worked fine for months then all of a sudden Itunes decided the security code is invalid.  Now I can't even update my phone. 
    For the last week I have been going back and forth over email with apple support to fix it, but they keep telling me the same fix that doesn't work and frankly they are the worst support group I have ever worked with.  I can't even get anyone to answer a phone, its just back and forth by email everyday.

    Debit card? Are you sure?
    USA iTunes Store does not appear to accept debit cards - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html  "The iTunes Store, Mac App Store, App Store, and iBookstore services (“Services”) accept these forms of payment: credit cards issued by U.S. banks, payments through your PayPal account, iTunes Cards, iTunes Store Gift Certificates, Content Codes, and Allowance Account balances."

  • The main screen of my macbook is black, but the secondary screen it's ok. how can I fix this problem?

    My MacBook was working with 2 screens but, when the secondary screen was disconnected, the main screen put in black and I can't fix it

    Take your Mac to an Apple store to be looked at and fixed. There is nothing you can do to fix it. It is a hardware problem. Either the screen has failed or the cable going from the logic board to the screen has failed. For both of those type failures only Apple, or a AARC, can fix it.
