Default home page links do not work

Before i updated to 34.0.5, I had images on a new tab page and on the default home page, i could click on the quick links. Nothing on the default home page works! I have no images on a new tab page! What happened?

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default home page is about:home
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

How do I reconnect the links to their relevant pages again (I use iWeb)

The background photo is on top of the links. Select it and move it to the back or add the background image via the Inspector/Page/Layout pane in the Page Background section.

Page links do not work in Safari, but do in internet explorer

If i view my website using safari, the tabs on my welcome page do not appear and it is impossible to view the other pages. If i view my site using internet explorer; i can see and use the page links.

Still not okay here. i have reset safari, and even tried adding firefox to see if the problem persists. Unless i open my website with internet explorer or use another computer i can not use the tabs on my welcome page.

Home page settings do not work?

I did the upgrade to FF 9.0.1 and it seemed to work fine. I set my home page to Google but when I open Firefox it still opens the "Thank You for Upgrading" window in the first tab and my home page in the next tab. How do I get rid of this first tab. Please don't tell me to change my home page settings because that does not work.

Home page tab does not work

my home and featured artist page does not work on my site. All other pages are accessible but those

Hello Madaline,
Please provide us with the URL to the site. Some component may also be lying on top of the menu items (overlapping them), hence making them non-clickable, but that'll need to be confirmed.

Web page links do not work

When I click on a hyperlink on a web page nothing happens. In fact I'm have to use the Safari browser to send this query.

Hello nimbus882, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Tabs won't close? Help Procedure: Set Home Page %7C does not help

I have more than 100 open tabs that will not close.
Help procedure Options: Home Page: %7C did not work
Reinstalled Foxfire did not work.
Now what?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Web Services on Server 4 - Home page links not working

We have recently upgraded our server to Server 4.
We use the "Home Page" of the default web server as a starting point for access to web enabled services on the server - so Wiki, web version of Calendar, User Password setting etc.
Back in Server 2 this page came preconfigured with a grid of icons you could click on to get to these services.
I'm not sure what you get in Server 3 or Server 4, but our start page has remained the same ever since. However since the upgrade, we've noticed the behaviour of the buttons on the screen has changed - so now when you click on (say) the Wiki button, all that happens is the page reloads - you no longer go to the Wiki.
If you click on the drop-down menu under the button in top left of the window and choose the same option from there, the wiki (or whatever) opens OK.
I'd like to fix the function of the buttons on the home page - but the option to edit this page is severely constrained by the Wiki system itself: Apple use some kind of Javascript call linked to the default buttons to open the service, but you can't edit this via the wiki editor. As the page itself is a database entry in the database driving the Wiki, you can't go and edit the source HTML for the page either.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or maybe how to force the Wiki system to revert to the Server4 equivalent of the 'default' home page? I'm wondering if somewhere between Server 2 and Server 4 the javascript libraries loaded by Wiki have changed and so the buttons no longer function due to missing libraries or something.
Anyhow - any help with this would be most welcome. Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff. You've got a GoToLink action on the home page that's pointing to a page with this name:
Elaine's Blog Page.html
The spaces aren't really valid (or at least ideal) for a file name, but what's really causing the problems is the apostrophe. It's causing a JavaScript error on the page, which prevents any of the actions from working. To fix it, you'd need to either remove the apostrophe from the page's name (and make sure to re-link it in the Actions palette), or escape the apostrophe with a backslash in the Actions palette like:
Elaine\'s Blog Page.html

My default home page does not come up and my navigation bar is grayed out. I can't seem to fix it.

In the last few days, I have noticed that when I open my browser, I don't get my default home page, even though it shows under my options. When I conduct a search, I have navigation buttons, but once I open a page from the search engine results page, I have no navigation anymore. They are all grayed out.

This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Interent Explorer 11 Will Not Save MSN Page a Default Home Page

I am currently running Windows 8.1 with Internet Explorer 11. I set My MSN page in the internet options section. It will be my home page as long as I do not close Internet Explorer. When I reopen Internet Explorer, I have to click the tab on the upper right
hand side to sign in? I do not have to sign in, it just brings me to My Msn page. Why must I have to click the "Sign in" button each time. Prior to using Windows 8.1 and or Internet Explorer I never had to sign in again once I set My MSN page as
the default home page. Has anyone experienced this issue and or have a fix for myself.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

Hi,
The issue may occurred duo to some websites that do not allow usernames and passwords to be remembered.
You may turn on the setting to have the Username and Password be remembered by MSN to troubleshoot the issue.
Please follow these steps:
1. After signing in on MSN, click Help & Settings on top then go to Settings.
2. At the left hand side, click on Internet Options.
3. Under Internet options Settings, click on Temporary Internet Files.
4. Once Internet Options or Properties show up, go to the Content tab on top.
5. Click Settings under AutoComplete.
6. On the AutoComplete Settings page, put a check on User names and passwords on forms and Ask me before saving passwords.
7. Click Ok. Back on Internet Options, click Apply at the bottom right then Ok.
Please note: There are certain websites that do not allow usernames and passwords to be remembered due to security concerns. This could be the reason why the abovementioned steps may fail.
Hope it helps.

Group Default Home Page doesn't work(WWC-44131)

Hi,
We had configured a Group "A" and and page group "pageA" before, and it have
run well for a long time.
Recently, we want to configure another Group and Page Group, but we couldn't archive that.
Here are what we do.
1) create a Page Group "pageB"
2) create a Group "B"
3) create a User "userB"
4) grant access privileges(view) of "pageB" to Group "B"
5) set Default Home Page of group "B" to "pageB"
6) set group "B" to be the Default Group of "userB"
When I logged in with userB, I got the error.
Error: You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)
I awared that the logging URL redirect to "pageA", and I didn't add userB to pageA, so I got the error.
After I added userB to pageA, the logging would be successful(redirect to pageA), but it's not what we want.
When I set the pageB to be the Default Home Page of userB, I could log into Portal with pageB successfully.
But it's impossible that we set all the user's Default Home Page.
Note that everything is okay before, the problem occurred when we want to add another page group.
The Global Default Home Page is "Portal Builder".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jimmy

In a word, I set the Default Home Page of GroupB to PageB, and UserB belongs to GroupB.
I didn't set the User Default Home Page of UserB.
When UserB logged in, portal redirected UserB to PageA, not PageB.
Why?
Thanks in advance.

User not being redirected to its default home page.

Hi All,
We have created a page called Home which we have set as system default home page in global settings page.
We have a Group called Employee and a page called Emp. We have set the default home page of the Employee group to Emp.
Now we have created a user called abc whose default profile group is Employee.
Now when i try logging into portal the user is redirected to Home page and not the Emp Page. How to solve this issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Azeem.

hi Azeem
good that you found the problem. please quote the document id for other folk's reference in any such matter.
about your problem, if you have to repeat it for all users, you may write a shell script to substitute the user_ids and run them in a script. easiest it would be if you are on a unix/ linux system. then you may write something of the following nature;
- extract uid for all users using ldapsearch and save in a file myusers.txt;
- now use awk to prepare your sql script by writing statements for each of those 3500 users;
awk ' { print "first_part_of_your_statement" $1 " last_part_of_your_statement \n commit; " }' myusers.txt > fixmyusers.sql
and then just put the first statement right at the top of this script (about setting context for portal user).
and then, run this sql script!
i hope you should have enough hints to get it done within half an hour now.

How do you set a default home page for tabs

Default home page setting is easy enough but when clicking the "+" to open a tab I want to set the page that it defauts to. You would think that it would do the default home page but it doesn't and I cant find where to set it.

Troubleshooting tips on the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system. This needs to be removed from the Windows Control Panel.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right and disable (or remove) anything unknown.
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to the unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Also beware of features in utility programs like Advanced SystemCare that roll back settings changes between sessions.
If bad add-ons do not have a Remove button or keep coming back, here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning them up. I know this seems long, but it's not that bad.
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
* in the Windows "Run" dialog, type or paste <code>firefox.exe "about:addons"</code>
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often 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.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
Success?
