How do i permanently change my homepage to what I want when I look in the troubleshooting tab and find a unchangeable flag called: browser.startup.homepage_override_url

I downloaded some apps from speedbit.com and told FF4.0.1 to not change my homepage, and it did anyways to speedbit. It also installed itself on the "override", so everytime i reset my home page to anything, when I next open FF it bumps back to the override page instead. In troubleshooting it is a toggle i can't edit.

Firefox '''does not''' come with a setting for a page that opens in a new Tab, the default installation always opens a blank page when you open a new Tab. Many extensions include a feature to open their choice of a webpage when you open a new tab, as does the Speed Dial extension which uses a "local page" internal to Firefox.
You need to figure out which extension has taken over that preference that Speed Dial needs to use. You didn't bother providing a Troubleshooting Information... listing as requested when you asked this question, but I can guess your problem is related wither a Yahoo extension or a Conduit / OurToolbar extension - as there is a plugin listed = Package Installer & Install Conduit.

How can I change the homepage for the tabs?

A while ago, i downloaded, by mistake, a program called Babylon and since then every time I open a tab, google by Babylon showes up. It is very annoying and I cannot find a way to change it. Can you please help me change the homepage for the tabs?

If those sites are bookmarked then try this extension:

How do i change the new tab homepage?

Firefox won't let me change my homepage and theme. It starts over like new everytime I open it up.

Since with the new update on 6-8-10 my firefox starts up and opens 3 tabs. reg mozilla google page, the themes page, and a download helper add on main page. I change me homepage and change me theme but when I close firefox it never saves the theme and homepage and starts back with those three tabs open.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== with the new update on 6-8-10

About:home comes up on my browser - how do I get rid of this? I cannot find the place to look for Internet Options so I can change my homepage - where is this on the new firefox? Thank you

I have a new computer - it has windows 7 and I have your latest mozilla firefox running. about:home is the opening URL and I know this is not good. But when I looked for the tab to find Internet Options(like I had on my last computer) I can't find it anywhere! I used to use that to change my homepage - that got rid of the about:home before. So now, what should I do? Where is the Internet Options tab? I did try to use the control panel to switch my homepage, but it only switched my Internet Explorer browser homepage, even though it is not my default browser. Thank you.

Having troubles with a firefox page and not allowing me to change my homepages

Everytime I open Firefox the tab "http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/9.0.1/whatsnew/" opens and I can't stop it. Even though it isn't set as a homepage. Also, I can't change my homepages. When I change them, the changes aren't saved, it reverts to the original ones. Also, I am running the latest version

thank you

How can I keep Tuvalo or other invasive sites from changing my homepage?

Why can't Firefox add a simple opt-out question or password-protection for changing the homepage?
"X is trying to change your homepage to X.com. Allow? Y/N"
After you add that, add: "Permanently block access by X.com. Y/N"

Websites do not have permission to change your home page. If you find it is getting switched, consider the possibility that you've somehow installed a rogue extension.
Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if it's clearly badware, remove.)
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 let you restore your home page?
A few related issues:
(1) If there is no remove button for an extension, visit the Windows Control Panel. In Windows Vista-7, the relevant dialog is "Uninstall a Program"; not sure what it is called in Windows 8.1. Clicking the "Installed on" column heading will sort by date and help uncover possible bundled items that you didn't know were being installed. Remove all the crap you can. (If you find anything named Search Protect or BrowserSafeguard, remove it.)
(2) Third party software can create a file named user.js that Firefox reads at startup and which will override your saved settings from your previous session. This article describes how to track down and remove that file if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(3) Some utilities such as Advanced SystemCare have a feature to roll back your settings changes, which can lock in unwanted settings. Theirs is called Surfing Protection. If you have that or a similar Homepage Protection (etc.) setting preventing you from making desired changes, turn it off temporarily (or permanently).
(4) To mop up unwanted software, try the scanners other Firefox users have found helpful in this article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that will tame it.

How to change the default search engine? I accidentaly change it from google to yahoo, and I can't get it back. I changed my homepage too, but it isn't solved. Thanks

dear, there.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

Bearshare was downloaded to our home computer. Now it has taken over my Firefox homepage and I can't get rid of it. I have tried changing the homepage via Tools, Options. Didnt work. Deleted the Bearshare app and cookies and web history. Still didnt work.

Tried resetting default setting via Firefox Safemode. Didnt work. Any suggestions.?
My situation is 2 home computers (Windows XP) sharing 1 modem, but have their own apps. Mozilla on the other computer is fine. Just this one which Bearshare was downloaded to.
It took over the Homepage in IE too, but I was able to change it using Internet Options.
The message which comes up when I try to change the Homepage is "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked"
Tks

You only get an alert stating "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked" if you have security software or an extension that is protecting against such a change. Firefox doesn't do that by itself. If starting in [[Safe mode]] didn't help then that only leaves security software, so you need to look to see how you can allow a home page change.

All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default s

I don't know what happened. All of a sudden, my settings have been changed, my homepage, and EVERYTHING. No matter how many times I go in and change them again, the SAME pages open up when I start FireFox and I am constantly being asked if I want Yahoo as my start page and default search engine. I click the box 'do not ask me again' and it comes up EVERY TIME. I change things like I don't want history remembered, and when I reload FireFox again, it's back to the way it was BEFORE. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I don't know why this is happening, or how to fix it. What do I do??

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

I downloaded a music software and then deleted it. It changed my homepage designation and I can't get it to change back to Firefox. I do know how to change this but it is not working. Can you help?

The music software is imesh and I have changed my homepage designation with Firefox, in my internet options for Windows. Every time I close the page, the homepage changes back to imesh search page. I have deleted imesh from my computer including going to windows explorer and deleting all imesh that I can find to no avail.

Steps to remove iMesh as your homepage:<BR>
# In the address bar, type '''about:config''' and press Enter.
# In the '''Filter''' textbox at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
# You will be presented with the entry for keyword.URL
# Double-click on it, delete the string and press OK.
# Exit from Firefox.
Next, you need to set the desired website as your homepage. Open Firefox and follow the instructions given in this article: [[How to set the home page]].

Is there a way to automatically change tabs with different times set for each tab?

I found a few add-ons that will automatically change tabs based on a configurable time. But all the tabs use the same time setting. What I need is the ability to have tabs displayed for different amounts of time. Ex, Tab 1 for 30 seconds, Tab 2 for 10 seconds, Tab 3 and 4 for 5 seconds. Ideally, I will have the ability to modify these settings as the amount of tabs and the content will change a couple times a week.
Currently I'm using Tab Slideshow with each tab displayed for 15 seconds. But it sounds like Tab Rotate and Auto Toggle Tabs essentially do the same. If there is already a solution that would be great but if not is there someone available for hire to help modify one of the existing add-ons? Thank you in advance for your time.
John

Currently Firefox don't have any options like that.
You can ask the Addon developers

Can't change my homepage and can't get rid of bing search bar.

I can't change my homepage. It changed to Bing when I downloaded something. There is also a bing search bar on the top of my page. I am furious. I don't want things deciding on their own what should be on my computer. Why is it so hard to find where to change the homepage or get rid of these toolbars? How can I do it? Your help page doesn't help at all. It leads me to nothing useful. This seems to have affected my computer's performance as well.

I get this message too. Every time I try to download an app I get a message saying there are 33 apps that can not be downloaded and to try again later. The app I am trying to download does download but I get 'ghost' icons of the others. It doesn't make any sense why the app store is telling me I can't download apps I have already downloaded previously.
This all started when I entered my ID wrong. The only way to get rid of the ghost icons is to tap them. Otherwise they stay there waiting for the download.
I can't get this error message to go away. It must be a new bug.

How can I make New Tab Homepage work in Firefox 6.0 ?

I just upgraded to Firefox 6 beta and New Tab Homepage stopped working.

Or you can middle-click the toolbar Home button to open the home page(s) in a new tab.
