Cannot change "Start Page" from the FireFox Google Search Page.

Under "tools"/"options"/"general" I've changed my homepage to Bing.com & designated this as my "start page" however whenever I open a new tab the FireFox Google Search Page always comes up and I must click the "home" icon in order to get my Bing Home Page to load. This is a step I would rather skip. What must I do to get FireFox to open immediately in my designated home page?

The home page is just what opens when you click the Home icon on the toolbar, and when you start Firefox, provided that under Options → General you've set "When Firefox starts: Show my home page".
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
When you open a new tab, you normally get a grid of tiles listing recently visited sites. (From Firefox 31 onward, there's also a search box, but it uses whatever search engine you've selected in the search bar on the navigation toolbar)
* [[New Tab Page – show, hide and customize top sites]]
# [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/ Install Custom New Tab].
# Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
# Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
# Enter whatever URL you want to open in each new tab, and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.
Strictly speaking, you don't need the above add-on to choose what opens in each new tab. But Custom New Tab allows you to decide whether focus should go to the address bar. Without the add-on, it does, so you have to first click the search box on the web page before you can start typing your search query.

  • You just changed Contacts in GMAIL and I cannot restore my contacts from the previous version. I followed your instructions but it did not restore close to 500

    You just changed Contacts in GMAIL and I cannot restore my contacts from the previous version. I followed your instructions but it did not restore close to 500 contacts that i have which are in the Other Contacts area.

    Hi robertsjohn125,
    Contacts are not managed in Firefox, unless you are taking about Firefox Desktop and Firefox Hello?
    Where do you manage your contacts, this might help direct you to the correct support.

  • I have used firefox for 3 or 4 years, today it would not open. I had to reinstall and start over from the beginning. I lost a lot of bookmarks and preferences.

    Adobe installed an update, which restarted my desktop pc. After restarting I was unable to open Firefox browser. So, I clicked on Firefox, and then run as... first I tried running as... and chose my name. Firefox browser still would not open. Then I chose administrator which opened Firefox browser, but, as a new Firefox installation. It did contain add-ons, but not book marks, history, downloads or preferences. Now i have started over from the beginning. Is there any way I can restore lost bookmarks and preferences? Do you think system restore would help?

    Are there still JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder?

    Here is the article about it:
    iPhone and iPod: Liquid damage is not covered by warranty
    Since we are all users here just like you, we can't do anything about decisions made by Apple.
    You'll have to pay for a replacement:
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5
    $229
    iPhone 4S
    $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone
    $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

  • Cannot start up from the install DVD

    I have a Macbook and I need to run the disk utility and repair the start up disk. I insert the Tiger install DVD, hold down the c key as I restart, but it always starts up from the start up disk, not the DVD.
    What gives?
    OK some more info. I got the Macbook used and it did not come with the install disk. But I have a DVD of Tiger I bought to run on my old G4 which I am using to start up on the Macbook.
    Macbook version is 10.4.8, DVD version is 10.4.6.

    Hi--
    I think the problem is this. Your MacBook is Intel
    based. The Tiger DVD install disk you said you used
    for your G4 is for a PowerPC.
    Carolyn is correct. You'd need the discs that came with your MacBook in order to start up your MacBook. The operating system on the Tiger DVD is only for the PowerPC. There are currently no "generic" retail Tiger installers for Intel Macs, because all the currently shipping Intel Macs came with Tiger, and there's no reason for the retail Tiger discs to have the Intel code..
    You should try calling Apple and see if they'll let you order replacement installer discs for your MacBook.

  • Cannot change home page

    cannot change home page. have moved and home page continues from last residence (router: 192.168.1.1). I now want a different home page. I have tried Tools>Use Current>OK, but my old 192.168.1.1 keeps coming back.

    Thank you, Anonymous, for your post. It was a good place to start. It never hurts to ask, "is it plugged in?" before assuming the machine is broken. I have tried the steps in your suggestion, but they don't work. Again, Thanks. -- Wayne

  • I cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

    i cannot change apple id when the app store asks me to update anything

    App Store products can only be updated by signing in to the store with the same Apple ID that was originally used to download them. You can't update anything, including your own purchases, as long as there are pending updates linked to the other ID.
    If you can't sign in with the other ID, you have to delete all the apps that are linked to it. If you don't know which apps those are, see below.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
              File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
              Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
              Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
              Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    3. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    4. At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Delete each such item by following the instructions in the Apple Support article linked above.
    5. Quit and relaunch the App Store.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How can I make firefox work wisth a windows xp computer? I don't have an address bar , a backup key. I can get away from the firefox add-on screen. It is basically inoperable

    After installing the new version of Firefox on an Windows xp computer I cannot use the internet. There is no address bar for entering a URL, there's not back up arrow, I can't get away from the Firefox add-on screne.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • I cannot down load Yosemite from the App Store. It keeps saying there is an error.  I have Mavericks installed now.  Can I download Yosemite anywhere else besides the App Store?

    I cannot down load Yosemite from the App Store. It keeps saying there is an error.  I have Mavericks installed now.  Can I download Yosemite anywhere else besides the App Store?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select
              /var/log ▹ appstore.log
    from the hierarchical list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the last installation or update attempt, starting from the time when you initiated it. If you're not sure when that was, click the Clear Display button in the toolbar of the Console window and then try the installation again.
    Copy the messages to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of it useless for solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • Why does my iPod app keep starting over from the beginning??

    I have noticed lately that my iPod app seems to start over and play ALL songs on my phone from the beginning nearly every time I plug my phone into my car stereo.
    I plug my phone into my car stereo and listen every day on my work commute. As such, it's very important that the music stay on the same position between the times when I'm in my car. For the most part it's been fine, even on 4.0.1, unless I rebooted the phone or did a spring board respring, or otherwise killed the iPod app from the multitask app list.
    However this past week, it's been starting over from the beginning (I was playing songs from a playlist and it starts over from the beginning of ALL songs) nearly every single time I connect it to my car stereo. I have not been listening to the music between times in the car, nor have I even opened the iPod app or killed the process from the multitask bar.
    This is absolutely maddening. No changes have been made to the phone in the past couple of months, other than a few App Store app updates here and there. This just started really being a problem in the past week. What could be causing this?
    Message was edited by: PatrickGSR94

    Dont have that problem but i have two tips:
    1 Other ipod/iphone apps: they are often the problem, i had an alarm clock and that blocked the whole ipod app, so check if other apps dont use songs to wake up or anything else..
    2 try to leave the ipod app trough the multitasking instead of pressing the home button?
