This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up
and then resets your search preferences and home page
to their default values, and then uninstalls itself. This
affects the search bar, URL bar searches, and the home page.

Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator. 
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties". 
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window. 
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected 
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected 
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.

I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

# Question
I can't stop the Firefox Start page from opening - in addition to my default page - each time I open Firefox

Is this the Firefox branded Google page? If it is, Firefox can store multiple home pages and you may have 2 home pages set. Follow the instructions to set a single home page in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
If it is the Firefox has just updated page that keeps on appearing, there may be a different problem, for details on fixing that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox

How to change standard start page of AS Java

Dear experts,
could you please tell me - is it possible to change the start page of the SAP J2EE server (which is shown when you go to the http://<server name>:50+<system number>*100 page -
SAP Help Portal, System information, User Management etc.)?
Is it possible to change it to the customer page?
I thought it is connected with HTTP provider service, but the root directory pointed where
doesn't exists in the server (.../j2ee/docs),
so I don't understand, from what source the standard page is retrieved and shown to the user.
Thanks a lot!
Andrey.

Hello Ventsi,
thanks a lot for clearing of the situation.
In fact we have a question - how to show the static web page which is stored on the J2EE server instead of the standard index.html. It is not an application, but simple html page.
In HTTP provider help we can see the following lines -
Root Directory
The root directory for this host. The installation program does not create the main directory for the HTTP files automatically. It must be created additionally, or the path must be redirected to an existing directory.
Value ../../docs
Start Page
This page is displayed when the browser establishes a connection with the host. The server searches the root directory for a file that appears in the Welcome Files list. The first match found is returned to the client browser.
So does it mean that we have to create docs directory manually and put our file into this directory?
Or it is the wrong approach?
Thanks!
Regards,
Andrey.

Can I print web pages from firefox using adobe pro 9 (Not using PDF download) and if so how

Can I print web pages from Firefox 3.6.12 using adobe pro 9 (not using PDF Download) and if so how.

How do I get back to my basic start page from any other page? There should be a one click link but I can't see how to do it. Apologies for illiteracy. Like say from this help page, how can I get back on skype and make a call?

There is a "Home" button below search option which will take you to the main page.

There appears to be a MAJOR issue (hang/memory leak) in "about:home", also known as the Firefox Start Page, in Firefox 26.0 on Windows!

There appears to be a MAJOR issue (hang/memory leak) in "about:home", also known as the Firefox Start Page, in Firefox 26.0, on Windows!
observed on:
- Windows 7 x64 machine with 12GB RAM and high-performance CPU (core i7-920)
- Virtual Machine guest running WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) on the same machine
- Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4GB RAM, running Win7 x64
Neither of these machines are connected via Sync or anything like that. The Firefox instance on the VM is a fresh/clean install.
The problem:
- 100% cpu usage for 10 seconds, memory usage (PF usage in XP) goes up to 1.7GB
- if "about:home" is the Firefox Start Page, effectively it hangs the computer at Firefox startup for 10 seconds
- if "about:home" is NOT the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" button on the toolbar it loads "about:home" which causes the same issue again

Thank you cor-el! Your suggestion has solved the problem on my WinXP VM which I was using to test, and I will soon confirm that it has also solved the problem on my primary Win7 desktop.
To recap:
- I set "browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl" to an empty string
OLD VALUE: https://snippets.mozilla.com/%STARTPAGE_VERSION%/%NAME%/%VERSION%/%APPBUILDID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/
NEW VALUE: (blank)
- I deleted the folder \storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home under the Profile directory
Actual folder name on WINDOWS XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<PROFILENAME>\storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home
However I have a concern that the '''OLD VALUE''' of "browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl" will creep back in, in a future update! Can you communicate this issue to someone on the development team?

I cannot print any page from firefox 3.6.17, using Mac OS

All of a sudden I cannot print pages from Firefox. I cannot even print e-mails. I am on Mac OS 10.5.8 using Firefox 3.6.17. All I get is blank pages. I can, however, print from Safari.

I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

I encountered a problem with some client machines that use Firefox version 24ESR and IE8.
Ajax requests of aspx pages from Firefox are getting the following error from the iis server (iis version 7.5):
Bad Request - Request Too Long
HTTP Error 400. The size of the request headers is too long.
From analyzing the request that was sent to the server, I saw that the request consist of only the viewstate of the aspx page.
I tried to disable the viewstate for one page and the server got the request correctly.
I do not encounter any issues on these laptops with postback requests from Firefox or when running the same application with IE8.

Sometimes that means that the page address sent is loo long.
Check the link address you are using.
I can't help you further and will send for more help.

Change wiki start page

hallo There,
i have on my 10.5.6 OS X Server about 10 Wiki, i'd like to change the start page "wellcome.....wiki" for every wiki, i want to write another information.
is it possible to do that? and where?
best regards

Write your own page called welcome.html and install it into your document root. In the General panel of the website enter welcome.html as the first entry in the default page files. Remove/rename the index.html page that comes with the website setup.
Apache will now go to your default page instead of the one supplied when you setup the website. To ensure you can reach your wikis, make sure you have a link to each group on your welcome page as in:
mydomain.com/groups/<each group>
HTH,
Harry

Changing the Start Page after loggin in the application

How can we change the start page once i log in to the oracle apex application.I took the following measures to change the page number
The default source code for the login page 101 process is
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
P_UNAME => :P2_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P2_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1'
I tried to change the P_FLOW_PAGE variable to page 15 as below
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':15'
but still no luck,still the login page is redirecting me to page 1 only instead of page 15.Can any of the experts here please help.
Thanks

Hello
You need to go to
Home>Application Builder>Application 127>Shared Components>Edit Security AttributesThen edit the Home Link item.
For example, mine is set to
f?p=&APP_ID.:35:&SESSION.The result is that my application goes to page 35 after login.
Hope this helps.

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.

What can I do to change my home page from bing to google- I have tried 50 times and bing always shows back up as my home page

I have done everything firefox says to do to change my home page. I want ti to be google but when I drag the icon over to my home page it only stays there for a few minutes and then bing shows back up. there is a little message that appears and says "someone has tried to change your home page and we have blocked it". I don't want bing aas a home page-don't know how it got on there anyway.

Try clicking Start -> Settings -> Control Panel
Add/Remove Programs
Look for something called Windows Live Search Protection or Bing Search Protection.
If you cant find that, try clicking Windows Live in the list, then clicking the change button. Untick anything that mentions Bing or the Bing Toolbar.

How do I stop the "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" from loading everytime I start Firefox? My home page is opening AND the (totally useless) 'start page'.

Just installed Firefox on my second Windows machine (running XP Home). Unlike my other installation, every time I start Firefox I get TWO tabs - my home page AND a "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" that contains only a Google search input. I don't need the useless start page, but haven't found anything that tells me how to stop it from loading.

Try This works good for those who aren't computer tech savvy like me
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 just tried this myself and it totally worked for me Good Luck
