Bookmarked item stays in home page seach bar. Won't clear. How Fix?

On the Firefox home page search box one of my bookmarks has suddenly appeared there in grey. It can not be deleted in the usual ways (highlight/delete, backspace over, etc.) but if something is typed it disappears. BUT, when Search is activated the search goes to the search on the bookmark item's page!
Reloaded, restart, shut down restart have not worked. How to fix?

The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar. 
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Gmail wont stay on home page

gmail wont stay on home page. I always have to go to more downloads and click on gmail
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== up date firefox

Gmail has a new option which allows you to sign in multiple gmail accounts at the same time. But remember, if you log-out one of the open Gmail accounts, the other will be logged off too. If you decide not to view one of the opened Gmail account, you can just close that tab:

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777

Why does Firefox keep opening a separate Firefox tab along with my home page when I start it, and how do I stop it.

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

I upgraded to version 9 from version 8. The following items do not work properly - menu, home page, navigation bar, wheel click. I backed up to version 8, and none of this stuff works right. How do I fix this?

When I open Firefox, the bookmark menu is a little tab in the upper left corner. If I go to view and un-click bookmark menu and then view, click it, the standard menu bar shows up. The Back and Forward buttons don't work. The navigation window does not show the URL of the current page. When opening, the home page does not come up. The wheel click works on the bookmark bar, but not within a page. The menu (file, edit, etc) does not work after the first page. Version 8 worked well. When I upgraded to version 9, all this trouble started. I backed up to version 8, but the problem persists.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Cannot see menu items on database home page after install of beta3

I have installed XE beta 3 in a Windows 2000 SP4 VM. Install went fine and I can get to the home page without issue. However, I cannot see the items when I use the pulldown menus. If I move the mouse cursor over them, it is possible to select although I dotn know what I am selecting!
Has anyone experienced this problem, or does anyone have any idea what is causing it?
Many thanks,
Rob

I am running VMware Workstation 5.5 for Windows XP.
I have a Windows 2000 VM established, with SP4 applied.
The VM is running IE 5. I have no other browsers installed. I am not able to install XE anywhere else at present, due to resource limitations.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. Next week I will install onto a "real" Windows 2000 environment, but would like to get this one working sooner than that.
Thanks for your response.
Cheers, Rob

Cannot set about:home to stay as home page.

When I set '''about:home''' as my home page it only lasts until I close Firefox 13.0.1. The next time I start Firefox 13.0.1 it has changed to ''http://www.searchnu.com/406''. I cannot find a program or plug-in that I can remove to get about:home top stay as my home page.

Can't find home page with current bookmarks and pined tabs/home page reverted to Fire Fox start up page

Some how my home page reverted to Fire Fox start up page and lost my up to date book marks/ this is very bad. I had just finished uninstalling some tag along programs that installed even when I hit decline when installing a program I received with the fire fox emblem that would automatically notify me of new updates on existing programs. How can I get it back?

Hi renee98,
Your question was posted in the Firefox OS support forums. This section is for the mobile device developed by Mozilla.
However, from what you describe, it appears that your problem is related to the Firefox browser in your Windows PC. Is this correct?
We look forward to hearing back from you so that we can continue to assist you.
Thanks,

I loaded a jZip programme, now whenever I start Firefox it open with the jZip search page and I can't permanently change the home page to my own selection. How can I get rid of theis iZip home page

I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for jzip via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all jzip related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Home page weather display will not update how to fix this?

On my home page, my.Yahoo, I have selected "weather" for one of the displays. In the past this display kept pace with the current day but now it is stuck on a day and will not update to the current day. I have re-booted, terminated FireFox, restarted it, turned the computer off and back on, and the weather still is stuck and will not update.

A couple more suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Can't Access home page on Windows XP...how to re-install?

I installed Oracle XE on a windows XP machine and it's not working. I believe the issue is that I log into my machine on a Windows domain, but I installed XE while at home and not connected via it. I then saw the note on the Oracle site about making sure you are connected to the network before installing. So I uninstalled and re-installed to solve the problem, but still can't get to the home page. Noting is running on port 8080.
How do I uninstall and re-install or otherwise correct this problem once I've had a bad install?
Thanks,
Don

Sorry for the slow response. I finally solved my problem. I can't explain why this works, but maybe this will help others.
When I typically log into my machine I log into a "kerberos domain" (for me "stanford.edu"). Our IT folks have set this up so that doing this also logs you in to the WIN domain as well, but you get an extra kerberos certificate for logging into other applications we commonly use.
So while logged into the kerberos domain, I uninstalled the "failed" installation of Oracle XE. Then I logged out (and rebooted for the heck of it).
I logged back in using the WIN domain (e.g. WIN/myusername) and ran the Oracle XE Universal installer.
It worked and the Oracle XS home page came up.
I logged out of Windows (and rebooted again for the heck of it).
I logged back in under my normal kerberos domain and Oracle XE continues to work.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge of Windows domains and authentication can explain why this worked.
Fyi...if I go to Control Panel > User Accounts, I can see an entry there with my username and the domain WIN. This entry has the groups ORA_DBA and Administrator. There is no other entry for the "kerberos" domain I usually log into (since it supposedly logs me into the WIN domain behind the scenes).
Good luck if you run into this problem
