A new video now present on my Firefox home page is causing the browser to crash on two computers. How do I remove it?

Just today, the problem started on my work laptop. When Firefox first opens everything is okay, whether the video pop-up window is there or not. However, if I then open a new tab and select my Firefox home page, about 80% of the time the browser crashes, asking for information to send to Support. When I reload Firefox, the offending tab does not go back tot he home page, but to a state prior to that.
I now find that my home desktop has the same problem. I can find no settings to prevent the video from displaying on the Firefox home page. I also get the impression that the video is some promotional item from Firefox.
I will now run manual virus scans, but I'm running Webroot on both systems, and they are scanned automatically. Any ideas? Frankly, I'm wondering if it's time to find a better browser.
Thanks,
Brian

The default homepage has featured various animations for a long time now (world map, bouncing star, and so on). The method to disable them remains the same:
# Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
# To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
# In the search box, paste browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl
# In the search results, double-click browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl. Delete all the text so that the preference value is blank, then press the OK button. As a side-effect, only default tips will be displayed below the search box, because new ones won't be fetched from the web anymore.
# Type about:support into the address bar and press Enter.
# Click the Show Folder button.
# Open the storage folder, open the persistent folder inside that.
# Exit Firefox.
# Back in the Windows Explorer window, delete the '''moz-safe-about+home''' folder.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

My firefox home page takes up the whole page of my screen. I want to get back my toolbar & menu bar. How do I do this?

I somehow made it full screen with a click

Hey,
As ideato suggested, F11 will do the job on Windows.
But that only brings you back from the full screen mode.
If you wish to get back your toolbar and menu bar, left click
on Firefox.
There you will find Options.
When you click on options, you will find Menu Bar and Navigation Toolbar.
Simply selecting them will do the job (if they are not already selected).

There is a misspelling on Croatian version of Firefox home page. The word "ponosnom" should say "ponosom".

Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page...

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

You could have changed the zoom settings somehow. Try going to the View menu, down to Zoom and select ''Reset''.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Cannot+view+full+screen+Flash+videos
* http://www.youtube.com/swf_test.html (right-click the player: Settings)
Flash "Display settings" window:
* http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

As I (mis)understand it, you may have a look at the ways suggested in these threads, increasing the Stroke Weight as desired after creating the centre path:

Firefox 4 and the previous 3.x version fail to update changed user home pages? After reboot the ancent home pages reappear and the replace the now ones. Why & how to fix this software bug?

- Firefox 4.0 is used as preferred browser
- One can change the user home pages. The new homepages are found & work ok after closing and reopening Firefox.
- However, after rebooting the laptop (HP Elitebook), old Firefox home pages reappear, they replace the new ones.
- If I remember correctly this bug appeared already prior Firefox 4.0, this malfunction/ bug was noted in some last winter version before the v 4.0.
- Help/ Bug fix is appreciated!

How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc.) to the Firefox home page. It currently only contains a google search box ?

My Firefox homepage currently only contains a Google search box. How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc) to the Firefox home page.

The current build-in Firefox home page about:home doesn't have such extra features. If you need those then change the home page to http://wwww.google.com

Just installed Firefox 9.0.1. When opening a new browser session, two tabs will open. One is my home page and the other is a Firefox welcome page. I just want my homepage to open. How do I achieve this? Thanks.

How do I open multiple Firefox home pages? I want all of my different Firefox email accounts open at the same time. I recently upgraded to Win7 and now I have to close and open Firefox to access another email acount!

I want 3 separate, distinct Firefox home pages for each of my 3 email accounts to be open at the same time.

Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.
