Content on home page "jumps" upwards with Firefox

Just updated a site, everything seems ok - apart from when
first viewing the homepage with Firefox.
The three images in the main content window, and the
pre-filled hints in the tip subscription box all "jump" up the
page. When I refresh the page (or view it with any other browsers),
it all lines up again where it should be.
It's at
http://www.magic-dust.co.uk/index.html
The page validates with w3c.org - can't work out the problem.
Is it just my browser, or is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks for your help. Matt.

How do I change the home page that opens with firefox?

when I start firefox a web page opens up I do not want. How do I change it?

http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page

Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Why did my Yahoo Home Page layout change on Firefox?

After uploading Firefox 18 the AOL Home Page has replaced my Firefox Home Page and I want to remove AOL Home Page

AOL has muscled in and replaced my Firefox home page as above with theirs without permission.
How do I permanently remove the AOL home page to the trash can?
And, if possible, give AOL a "rasberry" for their rudeness?
Thanks <<<< Peter Barrett

With the recent upgrade of Firefox, AOL has insisted to be the homepage. It does not matter whether you change it to be something else. After you change your homepage, somehow when you have to open another tab, aol will pop saying you have changed your homepage, but will not allow you to click anything until you say yes to returning it to aol. This IS so frustrating. I can't believe Mozilla is allowing it or does not know how to counter it.

New update of Firefox, now my home page keeps changing with each new session. What's the fix?

After Firefox performed an automatic upgrade, my home page and "Restore to Default" setting changed. I can input the correct URL and save and that works fine during that session. But when the browser is closed and brought back up again, it reverts to this different home page (my companies intranet page). I've tried changing the "home page default" setting in the browserconfig.properties file and did a find and replace of the wrong URL in the "pref.js" files. But it keeps going back to the wrong address each time a new browser session is started. This all happened after an automatic upgrade was done to bring Firefox to version 3.6.8.
This has happened on both of my work computers that run Windows XP - SP 3, IE 7.0.573 and Symantec Antivirus. So I'd think the chances of both computers being hit by the exact some problem, at the exact same time, changing the home page to the exact same URL and neither of the computers' antivirus protection catching it are rather slim. But I suppose that's a possibility. However, since this happened immediately following the browser upgrade, I have to think that this new installation has something to do with it.
Any suggestions?

Did you look for a '''user.js''' file in your Profile folder?
http://kb.mozillazine.org/User.js_file
Prefs in that file will override the same pref in the prefs.js file on each Firefox startup.
Have you contacted your IT department about that issue?
Maybe they are overriding your homepage setting?

The home page short cut with the little house on it is gone with Firefox 4. You can only go home with the History feature or reload the page from desktop shortcut. A big shortcoming in my opinion.

Hey guys..you used to have a home page shortcut on your toolbar in the past. A little picture of a "house" Now it is gone, gone. The only way I can get to the start page is with the "History" tool or going back to the icon on my desktop. Right now, I would rather go back to the older Firefox that had a Home page short cut. '''''''''ha'''''''''

The "Home" button was moved to the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar. 
The "Reload" and "Stop" button are on right-side of the Location bar, combined into the same space as the "Go" button; whichever button is appropriate at any time is what is displayed. The "Go"button when you are typing in the Location bar, the "Stop" button when a page is loading, and the "Reload" button when a page is fully loaded.
If you want any or all of those buttons in their former location, as they were in Firefox 3.6, you can Customize your Toolbars and put them where you want them.

When I start Firefox, I get an error message instead of my home page: Server not found Firefox ca

The error message is: Server not found
Firefox can't find the server at co108w.col108.mail.live.com.
If I then hit "Home" it goes to the home page. Changing the home page hasn't helped. Resetting Firefox hasn't helped. This just started today. Restarting the computer didn't help.
I'm using Firefox 18.0.2 and Windows 7.
Thanks.

Check for malware
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Why does Firefox Support Home Page open automatically as my second tab, to right of home page, when I start Firefox, and how do I stop this?

I have newly installed Firefox 4 on my computer as part of re-installing my OS. Firefox now opens with 2 tabs: my specified home tab and, to its right, a Firefox Support Home Page tab. I suppose I did something to cause this, but how can I undo it?

Reset your homepage and make sure that only one tab is open when you set your homepage.

I can set my home page but every time firefox starts it goes back to the page I changed it from

I keep having to change the home page. I joined a site that changed the home page. I uninstalled this program but I am unable to get firefox to change the home page. This does not happen with IE when I change the page it stays. No matter how many times I try it always goes back to

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.

While installing a PDF conversion program, start now/bing was installed, and after removal, instead of my home page, I have the Firefox start page even though mine is in the control panel.

You pretty much have it. Primopdf was the initial program, and zugoremovaltool was the remove tool. Prior to zugo, I had removed by add/remove in the control panel as well as going into program files and windows and deleting the programs. While trying to remove primopdf, I discovered it had its own uninstall program, which I ran. I restored my home page to the control panel only still to have start now/bing. I ran zugo and restored my home page to the control panel only to be stuck with the Firefox start page.

I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

Can not get the browsers to open their default home page so are safari,firefox,chrome, can not get the browsers to open their default home page so are safari,firefox,chrome

Safari won't recognize www.apple.com if by chance opens the home page when I request another website , it tells me I am not connected to internet , but I am , then I try to go to firefox and i get the same problem , then I wnet to another place (at&T htspot and all is working perfect all brwser work normal . I am assuming this has to do with my house network , but all other computers do not have a problem they work ok . So I ask is there a problem with my computer with the network , how can I see if that is the case

The standard arch kernel includes all the required modules, at most you need to load them explicitly listing them in MODULES in /etc/rc.conf
You need also the hw specific stuff, that is i915 and intelagp. Check lsmod and see if they are loaded. If they are not, inspect dmesg and see if udev tries to load them and fails for some reason.
I remember some cases where intelagp and i915 are not loaded by udev in the right order, if this is your case you can try to list them in the right order in MODULES.
There should be no need to recompile the kernel or to install a particular version of dri (just use the arch packages for mesa, libdrm etc; but I guess you have them already)

Although I have Igoogle as my home page when I open Firefox it comes up as somoto. How can I get rid of this.

My home page on Firefox only has been changed to somoto. I can't get rid of it. Have run scans for malware and viruses with more than one program and has eliminated any bad stuff. I cannot find the word somoto anywhere in my computer. My regular home page comes up in IE and Chrome.

This worked for me:
open add/remove programs and uninstall every toolbar you see that you don't know exactly what it is. The trojan or virus ... whatever it is can hide itself in another name. it happened to be "burn4free" toolbar when i downloaded burn4free a few days ago. I uninstalled it, restarted my computer upon prompt, and VOILA! no more annoying homepage. Like i said, it may be renamed so make sure to do some trial and error if you're not sure which one it is. GOOD LUCK!
