After setting Firefox as my home page how do I get Firefox to open my AOL E-mail? in English
Under Firefox's "How to set home page" it states "you can set the Firefox home button to open your e-mail"
How do you do this?
Hi Lelor,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. It might be a pref.js issue. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back do I nave to re download??
Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup -
I want to choose the search engine; Firefox goes to Google. My home pages are properly set. The only solution offered to this question earlier would have you go to Web Developer and instantly was WAY over my head. How can an ordinary person change this? Thank you.

Comcast took over my firefox browser and home page, how do I get comcast out of my firefox
I moved to a new area and comcast installed the service here. The installation and set up of the modem asked me to install a toolbar and I opted out because I see no use in comcast services. Comcast installed some thing like malware that took over safari chrome and firefox where all of the home pages were converted to their site. Safari required being reset and chrome I removed and reinstalled. Firefox has been completely taken over, I have uninstalled it 3 times and tried safe mode and just about everything else. I spent 2 hours on the phone with comcast to no avail and my feeling on it is that firefox is the most popular browser and comcast wants part of that so they have developed their own little malware to get in on firefox. What can I do as customer or user of firefox to get rid of comcast and their browser and home page and get back to what I am comfortable with which is firefox and my npr home page.
Sorry, if resetting your homepage in Firefox doesn't work or that change is only temporary until the next time you use your PC or restart it, you need to uninstall that Comcast Toolbar from your PC. I don't know how or where that Comcast Toolbar for Firefox is installed, so you'll need to figure that out yourself.
The first place to look is the Windows Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs, and it is there '''Remove''' it.
Second place is in the Firefox Add-ons Manager tab - '''{ Ctrl + Shft + A }''' - if you find it there, '''Uninstall''' it from Firefox.
If you are able to get rid of that Comcast Toolbar and still have problems with not being able to set your choice for a homepage, let us know. There are a couple of places that may have been messed with by that application, like a user.js file or the prefs.js file.
I'm a Comcast user, too, although I have had this cable service for over 10 years now, with the two previous owners of the franchise for this area before Comcast bought out AT&T Cable. All three companies recommended that I have their "software" installed and I refused it each time. I told them if it was "required", they could close my account, that I would go elsewhere. -
Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 SP3, Firefox 3.6.11, Zonealarm 8.0.400.020. This started 3 days ago. I thought it might be cured by updating to Firefox 3.6.11 but no such luck. I am able to click on the home page icon and return to Google.
it wasnt listed at ALL on my toolbars, and when i originally open firefox, the first page is google. when id start a new tab however, this stupidness was there. i had to go into Control Panel->Internet Properties and change it there. Hope it helps you also :)

I had to reload Firefox and no longer have the little house in the Navigation toolbar that allows me to click on it and return to my homepage. How do I get it back?
You can find the toolbar Home button at the far right end of the Navigation Toolbar.
You can drag the Home button from its current position at the right to the previous position at the left of the location bar if you do not like that new position.

The site is called doresearches and i never used this site.
the site address is:http://www.dosearches.com/?utm_source=b&utm_medium=smt&utm_campaign=eXQ&utm_content=sc&from=smt&uid=SAMSUNGXSSDXPM830X2X5XX7mmX128GB_S0TYNSAD204172204172&ts=1382360513
every time i open firefox this site appears despite its is not in my home page.
this is a new computer and it happened after i did sync with my android device.
thank you very much for firefox :)hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

I lost my benefit button, It is supposed to be my home page, how do I get it back?
I have a benefit button that raises money for charity when I use it to search the internet. I was at the top of my page next to my "green B" and clicked something I shouldn't and it disappeared. The whole search engine I use is gone. How do I get it to come back up?
Thank youIs this for Firefox on your Windows 7 system?
You might have hidden or disabled a custom toolbar. To see whether it just needs to be turned on again, you can try one of these methods to access the toolbar list:
* right-click a blank area of the tab bar (or the new tab "+") button
* tap the Alt key, then View menu > Toolbars
If the bar is missing, check to see whether a corresponding extension is disabled. You can do that on the Add-ons page here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
Can you find it?
If not, do you recall what site provides the button/bar? Maybe you'll need to reinstall it. -

When I click on a "Contact Us" e-mail link in a web site, Firefox opens the blank e-mail window in Microsoft Outlook. I rarely use that program any more; I use Gmail instead. Is there anyway I can change the settings in Firefox so that it will open a Gmail window instead?

Don't think I need two FireFox icons, especially the one that says FireFox (2)
I am guessing that this is just something pinned to the Windows launcher, and so someone more familiar with Windows may do better at answering it.
If you attach a screenshot it may help me understand what you are seeing
*[[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
Note however there is a problem with some Firefox installations on Windows,and that the registry could have been updated incorrectly so that you appear to have 2 copies of windows when only one is present. <br/>In such circumstances do NOT try uninstalling or you loose Firefox, and do NOT use any option to remove personal information,becaause that tries to destroy bookmarks, passwords and other settings from all normally installed versions of Firefox.

I was having trouble and some Technician came into my computer and put me on Mozilla Firefox, with Window LiveMail along with my AOL email address so I wouldn't have to change it, I've had it for years with Window XP, it works well but I'm 81 yrs old, and don't comprehend like I used too, the only thing I think will help me more is to use Mozilla Firefox tool bar along with my Aol tool bar, hope you can help me, I can't figure out new things anymore but there are time when they say the tool bar will say one thing but I can't find it on AOL tool bar
You're welcome.

A line of foxes is showing up in my firefox home page, how to fix this?
I tried resetting already and the problem still continues.
Here is a link with a screenshot: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7zV9FUtT5SkbTV2cmlYYzliRm8/edit?usp=sharing
idk what caused this, I didn't install anything new.
I will appreciate any help, thank you.Alright, I've got a few more suggestions, but honestly this is something I've never seen before:
Update your Graphics Driver, [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Update Windows
Scan for Malware [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
and finally, try a complete reinstall,
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.

I don't like anything opening automatically when I start Firefox, so before Firefox 4 I set Firefox to open a blank page when it starts. I still had set a page I visit frequently as my home page, so I could get to that page quickly by pressing the home button. If I needed to close Firefox it was nice and easy to have the option to save my session and close (I've already searched and read another post and answer on how to restore this feature in about:config). I understand that Firefox 4 always saves your session and you can restore it from the history menu, but then I would have to remember if I had anything open and click menu/History/Restore Previous Session.
Now in Firefox 4 I have left the home page set to about:home so if I had tabs open when I closed it I would see the Restore Previous Session "button" the next time I start it. However, when I close all windows and tabs before exiting Firefox, the Restore Previous Session "button" will be sometimes be there. If I click it, it will open a random tab or window that I visited the previous day, which was NOT the last tab/window that I had open.
If I do have tabs open when I close it, it does correctly re-open them when using the Restore Previous Session button, it only does this if I do a clean exit (close all tabs/windows before close).
I tried deleting the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files from my Firefox appdata directory (there were no other sessionstore.* files). This is a clean install of Firefox 4, I didn't install on top of Firefox 3.6.xx. I uninstalled Firefox 3.6.xx before installing and made sure to delete any leftover files in my appdata, programdata and program files directories.I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

How do i make a tab active and make it stay that way always. If i put a website in my home page in order for the tabs to open automatically in that same homepage , this setting is not working, every time I open a tab , the window appears white .
By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.
New Tab Homepage extension: <br />
