Why does firefox change my homepage every time I open it?

I want hotsheet.com to be my permanent default every time I open firefox.

Hello howsue, in your system details it seems that you have in your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Windows profile folder] a [http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file User.js] file. The user.js file does not exist by default. If you create the file, forget it, if you have not create the file then try to delete the User.js file, to see if the problem goes away (some programs create the file also).
thank you

  • Why does firefox start page load every time I log on

    start page opens with home page every time I open fire fox
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == latest edition was downloaded

    '''''"start page opens with home page"'''''
    Check your home page settings. Multiple pages can be set as the home page, separated by the "|" keyboard character.

  • Why does this spam site load every time I open a new tab?

    Every time I open a new tab in Firefox, it loads this specific search engine. This has never been my Home Page, and my preferences are set to show a blank page when I open a new window or tab.
    Why is this happening? What can I do to fix this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

  • Why does firefox corrupt my bookmarks every time I load it on a different computer?

    I found that a number of people have asked how to recover their bookmarks, but my question is why do I have to do it every day? I work on three different computers, and I love Firefox and have it as my default browser on each one. However, I had to turn on syncing bookmarks because every time I logged onto a different computer than the last one I used, sync screwed up my bookmarks, mostly by duplicating folders, but sometimes by emptying them. Now, the entire file doesn't (usually) get corrupted, although today it did, but opening Firefox on a different computer always adds a couple of folders that weren't there before.
    Now, I back up my bookmarks manually every day on each computer using the "backup" option with "show all bookmarks" and also with FEBE, which is terrific. (FEBE has helped me recover multiple crashed Firefox installations -- but frequent crashed Firefox installations is another problem). So, I don't need to know how to save/preserve my bookmarks.
    I'm just wondering why Mozilla doesn't fix this persistent problem?

    Sync unfortunately is known to sometimes corrupt or duplicate bookmarks. I had hoped it may have been fixed with the New Sync but apparently not.

  • Why does my finder display differently every time I open it

    When I open Finder, it always opens it to a different size with different column widths that what I set. Can someone please help me understand how to save my settings so that I don't have to resize every time?
    Thanks!
    I don't want it like this
    I want it like this, and I always resize but it doesn't always reopen like that the next time I open Finder

    Do a backup. 
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. 

  • Why does Firefox 29.x crashes every time I click a download file link?

    Immediately after automatically updated to Firefox 29.0 every single time I click a link to download any file, Firefox crashes. It also crashes when using cPanel (cPanel sometimes opens windows in a frame, or at least that's how in appears). Please see the most recent crash report below:
    bp-72a0abfb-2dfb-419d-85e8-c260c2140508
    bp-116890c7-2849-4ffd-aa1c-629562140508
    I tried the following, which did not help:
    * Reset the profile
    * Turn off hardware acceleration
    * Remove and download list (downloads sqlite)
    I sure would appreciate any help.
    Thank you!

    THANK YOU to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/114651 Moses] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/287 cor-el] , you helped very much in pointing me the right way in terms of the thought process to get this fixed.

  • Why does my Safari shut down every time I open a PDF attachment?

    I recently installed the new version of safari beta 3.0.2 and whenever I try to open an attachment without downloading it to my desk top first Safari close's all windows and supposedly sends an error message to apple. how do I fix this? Do i change a setting? or do I just buy a new computer (2005 mac).
    Also on a side not Firefox does not incur the same problem, but i'd rather use safari....

    Is this for a Mac? You posted in the Beta for Windows section, you might want to try the Beta for Mac pages instead and see if anyone there know a good fix. Is this just with Adobe's PDF reader, or with Preview too? A workaround could simply be switching to a different reader, if you simply cannot find what causes the crashes. A clean reinstall might do the trick, if you haven't done so already.
    If this is on Windows than I would recommend downloading the PDF plugin from http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

    When ever I open Adobe CC it starts verification process and asks for Serial No. And then goes into trial mode. I have to open it several times for it to run in proper licensed mode.

  • Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

    Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

  • Why does FireFox change layout/settings during upgrades without asking ?

    Just upgraded to Firefox 18 (windows 7 desktop). Why does Firefox change layouts/settings without asking the user if he wants it or not???
    I am getting sick of those changes. I want to have at the google main page the options (as before) to search in all languages, or pages from a certain language or pages in a certain language (of course depening of the google address; f.i. at google.de for german languages, google.fr for french languages etc).
    In the latest Firefox 17 it was working as I wanted and described before: when I visited www.google.de/firefox of www.google.fr/firefox. Now those 3 options (under the search bar) are gone and I do not want to operate by clicking on the advanced search button. Those things should be visible under the search bar again.
    Also my STARTPAGE was GONE/DELETED after the update !!! Grrrrr.... Updating is OK but mozilla should not change user configured items !!!!!!!
    The above described problem has nothing to do with the google website.

    By the way, do Firefox and IE use the same proxy settings? You can view Firefox's here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > "Network" mini-tab > "Settings" button
    The default is "Use system proxy settings".

  • Why does the App Store crash every time I search for something on my iPod?

    Every time I open the App Store on my iPod touch and search for something, it crashes. I tried resetting my iPod, but the App Store still crashes. I used to love my iPod and was very happy to have supported Apple, but it just makes me angry more than anything now. Also, in the Tree World app, my hippo was deleted. I was moving my critters around on their branches when all of a sudden my hippo was carried off the screen never to be seen again. I can't buy it from the market. I am VERY upset over this.

    I have the same bug cuz of the new App Store application ,,, almost the next update they ll fix it ,,
    But really it isn't a big problem ,,, after AppStore crash open it again ,,, &amp; install what u want ,,,
    That's all

  • Firefox freezes ('hangs') virtually EVERY time I open a second browser window. How can this be fixed?

    I recently (about a month ago) downloaded the newest version of Firefox and ever since, the browser freezes virtually EVERY time I open a new Mozilla browser window. I did not ever have this problem in the past.

    Are you using the Default Theme? ''If not, switch to the Default Theme.''
    If it isn't a problem with a 3rd party Theme, try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most other Add-ons.''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 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 />
    ''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 />

  • Why my Pages downloaded my documents every time I opened it?, why my Pages downloaded my documents every time I open it?

    I linked my icloud to Pages , but every time I opened it, it downloaded all my staffs which I have downloaded before.

    Are you turning off WiFi and then turning it back on again? I can't really think of any reason why the files would download again unless you turned WiFi off or unless you deleted the app and then reinstalled it.
