Am running firefox 6 in Windows 7. My home page is bbc.co.uk. When I enter my post code it is never saved but reverts to the default of London. Why? From Hal Webb
I do not know what additional info you need.

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

I am running Firefox 9.01 yet my home page says I am using a old version?
I re-installed 9.01 several times yet my home page has not been updated to the new version and there is an error message that I am not using the current version, yet if you go to help about firefox it says it is 9.01
This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox. I think that Google assumes that you are using an older version of Firefox, as they hard-coded that "upgrade" message into that page - all versions of Firefox see that message.
Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same. -
Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?
That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

I cannot open Firefox in a clean new window to the home page. Options are set to open to home page and open new window in new tab is deselected. I do not want my history coming up every time I open. All new pages come up in a new tab with the existing one staying put.
This happens when I have multiple windows open. I have one window minimized on the task bar. I then launch a new firefox window and start surfing, opening multiple tabs in that window. Then I close that window. (My original window is still minimized in the taskbar). Now, I launch a new firefox window and the tabs that I had opened in the window I had just closed are all back.
If I close all windows and then launch firefox, it goes to my home page.
FYI, I'm running Windows 7 64-bit. -
How do you stop the welcome to firefox 4 screen from coming up every time I open firefox? I get two tabs, one the welcome window, then my home page. How do you stop the bloody welcome screen?
Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 20.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.

In Windows 7, firefox seems to revert to the default icon (unknown as opposed to the firefox symbol) when I delete the desktop shortcut. This is rather aesthetically displeasing. I can not find much help for this online.
You can try to clear the Windows icon cache.
#Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
#In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
#Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
#Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
#Select the file IconCache.db and use Delete in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
#After the IconCache.db has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
It is possible that the file IconCache.db is a hidden file.

Firefox doesn't open to Home Page
Hello,
I upgraded to the most recent version of Firefox; now, when I open Firefox, there's just a white page instead of my Home Page. I've gone into options and made sure the correct site is listed to open to that page and made sure that "show my home page when firefox starts" is listed. everytime I start Firefox, I must reset my Home Page...everytime.
Windows 7 64 bit
Firefox 4.0.1It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

When I open up Firefox it goes to my home page, then I surf the web but when I go the the back button it shows my history but not my home page (or the first page I went to).
Do you get the same two tabs when you launch a new window (Command+n) or only at startup?
You may want to check your extensions in case something snuck in. You can review and disable those on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that shut down the extra page? -

When I click on the Firefox icon, it opens my home page, but in a separate tab it opens a Firefox page. I only want my home page to open when I click the icon.
Firefox can store multiple home pages, make sure the other sites are not listed as home pages - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

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

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. -

I downloaded an album from i Tunes to my i Phone 4 but somehow all but two of the tracks have deleted themselves from there. When I try to synch again (from a Windows PC) I can't upload the missing tracks again. They are playable from the PC but not the i Phone. Any ideas?
You may have to sync all your music off your phone (by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing), then sync it back on to fix this.

I have had Windows 7 64 bit for the past year and have run Firefox with no problem. It was the most problem free of the three browsers including IE and Chrome.
I have a Vista side where I run my online backup and did so yesterday. Went on Firefox. No Problem.
Today I booted into the Windows 7 side. Seemed to boot up okay. Until I opened Firefox. Suddenly, my whole computer crashed, windows shut down and that bluescreen popped up. I restarted normally. Same thing. I restarted in safe-mode. Couldn't find any problems. Went back to regular mode. Started FF. Boom crash.
Back to safe mode. Did a system restore. Back to regular startup. Didn't help. Attempting to open FF crahed windows.
So back to safe mode. Started Firefox. Crashed the whole computer and same blues screen.
So I uninstalled FF. Reinstalled FF. It still makes Windows crash.
So now I am on IE :PSee below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it
