Blank home page except for toolbars; no address bar; no back or forward arrows; remove unwanted icons form toolbar

I just installed Firefox 4.0 last night. Uninstalled and re-installed today but still have the same problems as last night. 1) I have toolbars across the top but the rest of the screen is white and empty. 2) I have no address bar. 3) I have no forward or back arrows. 4) I would like to remove undesired icons from toolbars but don't know how. I have a Windows VISTA PC and high grade virus protection.

Go to your Downloads folder and move the Safari.apo/Contents/MacOS/Safari to your Applications folder.
Then restart your Mac and try Safari.

  • Why is it my home page won't load when I open, my back and forward buttons don't work, the tabs have no boarders, they just show text and I can't tell which one I'm on sometimes, I can't download things, and firefox won't remember tabs when I close it?

    I've tried switching to an older version, re-installing the latest version, deleting add-ons, clearing my history and cookies, and nothing works. What the heck?! I didn't do anything, it just flipped out when I opened it!!!!

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
    See:
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

    There's a black space at the top of my window, and when I open the browser, my home page comes up but the address line is blank. How do I fix this?

    -> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
    -> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
    Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
    -> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
    -> go to View Menu -> Zoom -> click "Reset" -> Page Style -> select "Basic Page Style"
    -> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> select Menu Bar and Navigation ToolBar -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
    -> go Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache, Site Preferences''' -> click "Clear Now"
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
    1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
    4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
    -> '''REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES'''
    -> '''When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"'''
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
    1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
    -> Click OK on Options window
    -> click the Favicon (small drop down menu icon) on Firefox SearchBar (its position is on the Right side of the Address Bar) -> click "Manage Search Engines" -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click Remove -> click OK
    -> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
    You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons later. Check and tell if its working.

  • I can't get it to set a blank home page, and the instructions given for this don't work.

    The instructions say that if you want a blank home page, you should open a new tab, then click on the icon to the left of the space where the website name would be and drag it to the Home icon. Unfortunately, when I click on that icon, I can't grab and move it.

    Instructions work for me that you describe from
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
    perhaps drag the mouse a little faster.
    You could just just use '''about:blank''' as your home page

  • I have completely lost my safari.  I was getting an error and I lost the address bar.  I tried to fix it by changing the home page on the preferences.  I don't know what to put in the home page now.  How do I get safari back?

    I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
    If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there.

  • Icon in left hand corner of blank home page tab says "Kill Me"- how do I delete?

    I initially saw icon "Kill ME" in left hand corner of location bar. I went to 'view' and clicked on 'customize' and dragged it off and it was replaced by 'google' icon- however the "Kill Me" icon then appeared in the left hand corner of my blank home page tab-

    Do you mean on the bottom of Firefox, or below that, on the Windows Taskbar or desktop?
    If it's in Firefox, I'd love to see a screenshot of that. This article has tips on capturing screenshots: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]] Please blur or delete any personal/sensitive information before uploading. You can use the Browse button below the text box for a reply to attach the saved screenshot.
    If it's on the Windows Taskbar or desktop, does a right-click reveal any useful information? If you open Properties > Shortcut it usually will indicate the program's folder.

  • Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

    As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

    The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
    Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

  • What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

    What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

    Try stopping Safari followed by resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Safari at the bottom (swiping if necessary), tap and hold until it wiggles, tap the minus sign.  Now reset: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appers first), then release.  If it still is missing you may need to restore your phone, which will put a fresh copy of the iOS on your phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).

  • "my home page only start from the tabs bar I don't see the top of the homepage

    I have a problem loading my Home page I don't see the top of the home page as the home page only starts from the tab bar I don't see the backward and forward arrows or the menu please tell me how to reload FireFox so that the full home page loads.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Home page only start from the tabs bar I want to see the top part of the home page

    Press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
    If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
    If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

    I used to have a back and forward arrow, an X to stop something and a refresh sign on the second line at the top of the screen and box with the link I was on shown so you could copy and paste it. Those features are no longer there.

    You can open the ''about:config'' page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
    Filter: '''general.useragent'''
    If any ''general.useragent'' prefs are bold (user set) then right-click that pref and choose ''Reset''.
