After booting/restarting my mac firefox will open and is responsive but will not load my home page or any others for a few hours?

Firefox is not hanging as I can access all the items in the menu bar and change the settings as well. it just seems to need time before it can connect to my server even though Safari is working fine. Once the page loads up in firefox it works fine after.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

Safari will not load a home page after dload of Svc. Pack 3 for XP!!

After an upgrade by Microsoft to Service Pack 3 for Windows XP Pro, Safari will not load a home page of any kind and I get a blank screen where I normally am able to get Yahoo's Web Page instead.
Please help!!

Probably a good idea to uninstall and then reinstall safari. I got service pack 3 and safari just disappeared, I have reinstalled it and had no problems (other than a 'SPELLING AND GRAMMAR ERROR' pop up as per my other post!
Hope that helps.

Check System Preferences - Accounts
Choose you account - login items: If iTunesHelper
shows up - remove it it will prevent re-installation.
It did not have iTunes in the list, just mail and iCal alarm. Deadlines and emails are vital in my home office.
Now that I think about it, adding Mail to the list was the only thing that I had changed to the computer when this happened, but I can't imagine how that would alter permission to install on the OS.

Note: I saw a G5 1.2 for $1,500 CAN. I was tempted.

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all the tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session, irrespective of what has been entered in "Options". The browser is running in Win 7.0 64-bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides the security functions. There are certain "cloud" solutions also running such as Google Drive, Box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves similarly in all my machines (the setup and OS is similar to the one described above) and no amount of resetting of "Options" seems to affect it . Nor is it affected by the manner Firefox is closed. It is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed.

u wait for firefox next update
otherwise
1. go to firefox tab .
2. click on help ->trouble shooting information.
3. reset ur browser .
ur problem is solved

Firefox is OPEN and working fine, but when I click a link in Thunderbird I get 'Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.'

If I click a link on my desktop or in any other program (while Firefox is open and running), I get this message: "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." There's about a billion links for this if you Google it, but they all say that Firefox wasn't shut down properly. (OK, maybe not ALL of them, but if the needle is in that haystack, I haven't yet found it.) That's not the issue in my case since I haven't shut FF down at all.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== IDK

This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote

Is it possible in Firefox to have a new tab open to my home page? Currently, it is just blank. I have to click the 'Home' icon to load my home page. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thank you.

I am running Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7.

A blank page is the default for a new tab. You can middle-click the Home button to open a new tab with your homepage, or you can install this extension and set it for your homepage.

I spent half the morning and thus farI am trying to get Firefox to open a .pdf file but it not only downloads the file to my desktop but also dozens of zero-killabyte page images.

I spent half the morning and thus far this afternoon working on a Firefox problem and have only managed to screw it up so bad that when I try to access a web page containing a .pdf file it not only downloads the brochure but also dozens (literally dozens!) of zero-killabyte page images to my desktop. I have tried trashing Firefox and downloading fresh versions but I still get the same results. I have tried to find and trash the Foxfire preference pane, thinking that would solve the problem, but haven't been able to locate it.

You have Acrobat Pro on your system. It will try to open PDFs, and of course it will fail. You must uninstall it. Then, you will need a PDF reader. So install Adobe Reader. That seems quite simple, but perhaps something is wrong. If anything goes wrong with these two steps (1) uninstall Acrobat Pro (2) install Adobe Reader, then please let us know the details.

Firefox will not load to home page. Loads to last page. Tried ALL fixes. Ready to go to chrome unless you can fix.

Firefox will not open to home page. I have read all the articles, and tried all the fixes. Safe mode, complete reinstall...everything. Firefox has way to many of these issues. Can you help?

First step in troubleshooting - what have you tried ("all the fixes" isn't enough information)
Start with the basics. For example, have you done this:
# Click: Menu > Options > General
# Set "When Firefox starts:" to "Show my home page"
# Set "Home Page" to whatever website you want Firefox to load when it starts.
# Click OK
See also: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page
Does this work?
If no, have you tried this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-fix-preferences-wont-save You may simply need to reset Firefox.

Safari will not load the home page when I open it. It defaults to last open window. I set preferences to go to home page but Safari decides otherwise.

Mac Mini - Yosemite 10.10.1 The home page in 'Safari Preferences > General > Home Page' will not load when I start the computer (automatic log-in). Safari is ticked to open at log-in. It opens with the last previous web page displayed prior to shutting down the computer.
I have looked in 'System Preferences' > General but did not find anything relevant. Ditto 'Security' and 'Privacy'

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

Firefox will not load my home page

When I enter my home page url (my.yahoo.com) firefox searches for the address but comes up with a blank page. Chrome browser can find the page with no problem. Firefox has no problem loading www.yahoo.com.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock but does not load as set in my preferences and the title page remains blank even though I have set-up a home page. I completely re-initialised safari, but no change.

I upgraded to snow leopard, since then safari does open in the dock (white dot) but does not startup as set in system preferences. Also, if I open safari, the title page remains blank even though I have set a home page under safari's preferences. I re-initialised safari, but no change.

Having put my home-page under "new windows open with home-page" solves the "blank title page problem".
One problem left: "safari" does not startup automatically as set in system preferences, whereas "mail", also set for startup DOES startup

Photoshop Elements 12 will open as a program but will not open files

My photoshop elements 12 worked fine. The program opens, but I cannot open an picture files from my SD card from the drop down open file...

In case anyone else runs into this, I was also experiencing an issue with Elements 12 upon trying to open a photo - the message stated: ONCoreFoundation7.dll is missing
in researching, I found this forum entry:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5759383#5759383
The paths are different for the missing files, but once found and copied into the Elements12 directory, the program now shows Perfect Effects4 as a plugin. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

"This website cannot be trusted" that is crazy. I was going through the Firefox "getting started" and click on a link to "Set your home page" and it seems to be telling me that I can not trust firefox. LOL. It is asking me to make an exception.

So I tried to go to my iGoogle page and it did the same thing. I am certain there is a button to fix this but i swear i do not know where it is?
The support article also took me to "untrusted information"

Sounds like you have a link hijacker installed which McAfee doesn't find for some strange reason. What I suggest you do is to go to [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ Malwarebytes] and download the free version of the program. Then after you install it, update it via the link (tab) you'll see at the top and finally run a complete system scan.
It's possible McAfee didn't ask you to disable Windows System Restore. That Microsoft utility which is part of the operating system makes backups of all executables including malware unfortunately.
To be sure, I'd advise you to disable it temporarily by right clicking My Computer, then go to Properties and click the System Restore tab. Then place a checkmark in the box which says "Disable System Restore on all drives" and then click Apply/OK. This will delete all your Restore points, but it's the only way to remove malware which Windows is inadvertently making backups of.
It would be advisable to do that before you run a scan.
Once the Malwarebytes scan terminates and has quarantined anything it finds, you can re-enable System Restore again by removing the checkmark.
Sorry it took so long to respond to your question by the way.
