After exiting Firefox, when I reload the previous open tab come up, but my home page goesn't.

Pardon the typo above.
When I close out of Firefox and restart, my home page doesn't start up as it should. Only the previous tabs that were up when I closed out do.
Before, when closing out of Firefox and restarting only my Home Page would display, unless I clicked on save my tabs when closing out.
This is disturbing to me. What is going on?

I have this problem too.
Were all of your Firefox windows closed? (ex. download window ,popup windows) anyway, I hope they fix this problem soon.
In my case, I notice that when I watch the news from a popup window (msnbc), I will surf the web and then close the main page (keeping the news window open) but when I reopen Firefox it will be the last page I visited, not my home page.
This never happened in Firefox 3

When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. Pls guide me.

Dear sir,
When I restart the browser, its not opening the previously opened tabs even though I saved before closing the browser. This problem was not there in the older versions less than 3.6.8. Even the browser speed has gone down. This is everyday problem with this browser.
Pls suggest ASAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Tripad

When I start up firefox I get two windows that open in succession, one with my 'home page' and the other with the site I am seeking. How do I stop this?

This only occurs when I first open Firefox. Using tabs once I am down to one window does not open a new window.

Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?

When I click on the + a new tab comes up, but no google search bar. I was able to get a new search bar before an upgrade.

To get a new search bar to come up I have to go to File, open a new window. If I select open a new tab, only a tab comes up, no search bar. I tried downloading current Firefox then reverted back to old ones trying to fix my problem.

If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
You need to create a new profile if you really ant to get rid of all personal data and have a factory reset.

"When you create a new tab, the Location bar will be focused so you can just start typing the name or address of the website you want to go to" Um...no it doesn't. IN the "improved" Firefox 5, the focus remains on the previously opened tab...very annoying

New tabs are not getting focus. Typing an address after opening a tab opens the address in the first tab, not in the tab that was just opened

Tools > Options > Tabs: [ ] "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately"
This issue can be caused by an add-on that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

Has the firmware upgrade on the time capsule been fixed to allow iphones on the wireless network? I reloaded the previous firmware edition and it fixed the problem. thx

I checked beofre on the support communities when I was having trouble with the iphone 4 not being able to connect to the time capsule wireless after upgradeing the firmware. When I reloaded the previous firmware version, the iphone wireless problem was gone. Now the time capsule is asking to upgrade to that same newer version of firmware.
I don't want to do it until the iphone 4 wireless connection problems have been addressed. thanks

......will other users on the primary network (not the private wifi one) be able to access my files on my TCapsule?
No, if you have not provided them with the Time Capsule device password.
Users will be able to "see" the Time Capsule icon under the SHARED heading in the Finder on their Macs, but they will not be able to access the drive or the files.
I had also been thinking about wirelessly extending the wifi network (a linksys N router) but I guess that will allow everyone to access my Time Capsule?
Same answer as above.

How am I supposed to exit Firefox when the "x" at the top has disappeared? I hate this new Firefox!

How am I supposed to exit Firefox when there is no "x" at the top. I seem to have lost everything at the top. I downloaded the new Firefox and have had nothing but problems since. Right now my problem is that I hit "full page" and didn't know I would lose my exit "x" at the top. Now I can't find ANYWHERE to restore the old one.

Try hitting the F11 key. I had this problem and it fixed it for me. It's a toggle that takes it back and forth, showing and not-showing the toolbars. Gives you more space to read the webpages, which on small screens could be a blessing. Hope this works for you!

When ever I customize the toolbar the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox.

When ever I customize the toolbar, the open new tab sign that is the + sign near the lastly opened tab in the tab bar disappears and it remains so even after restarting Firefox. This happens only after updating to the new version 4.0.1 it never happened in the older versions 3.x.xx- checked it thrice. Thought it could be a bug and i didn't know where to report also don't have time and patience to search for the appropriate page so i'm reporting here for improving my favorite browser.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar. 
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions. 
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.

Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?.

Prior to upgrading if I brought up my FireFox page I had a header the same as my Google Page. The new/latest FireFox Page does not have the header with the options. Those options were,Images-Videos-Maps-News-Shopping-Mail and a More option with a drop-down menu. Why is this the case?.

''Why is the New FireFox so different to the previous version?''
I'll pass pass on the "why", although the reason given would be to improve Firefox by having a page that is on your system -- but the the content is not exactly on your system. I always find it amazing that there is anyone who uses the default home page, especially when Firefox has s builtin search bar. Even a couple of my friends who think the internet is their former ISP have there former ISP's page as their their home page.
To restore a Google search page you can replace your homepage with http://www.google.com then you will see those Google applications at the top of the window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
Now that you no longer have the Firefox default home page ("about:home") you had better read item #31 in the following about picking up your previous session from your history menu.
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#tabslost
which is part of the following:
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

I just installed firefox; when I click the icon, nothing happens

In case you haven't solved this by now...
Sometimes your security software will block new programs from accessing the internet. Are you getting any alerts along those lines?
Sometimes Firefox will stall during startup and never display its window. In that case, you may need to manually "kill" the firefox.exe process using the Windows Task Manager before trying to start Firefox again.
You can display the Task Manager by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Esc. Windows 8.1 has a different display than Windows 7, so I have to go by memory. If you see a tab named Applications, check that one first. Then check Processes, and finally check Details. If you find Firefox or firefox.exe on any of those tabs, select it and End Process (or other action to shut it down).
After you are done with the Task Manager, try starting Firefox up again.

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads 66% and then hangs. Has anyone else reported having this issue?

Using Firefox, I can login and browse my financial institution website (NFCU) but I cannot pay bills. When I click the bill pay tab, the tab loads about 66% and then hangs (loading). I have let it load until NFCU asks me if I want to cancel the session, a much to long of a load time. Has anyone else reported having this issue with NFCU or Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18?
I have also posed the question to NFCU, currently awaiting response and will share what was given.
