Doesn't open with homepage, but rather with last site visited

When I view a site and close it and then reopen Firefox, the last visited site will open instead of my homepage.
Also, I noticed that this only happens when I have another smaller window open.
For example, if I have a msnbc streaming video window playing, (just the video, not the msnbc homepage) but I'm viewing another homepage; That other homepage will open again.
Does this have to do with the small video window that's open? Do I have to close ALL windows to keep this from happening?

Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/
http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/version-history

  • Firefox doesn't open main page but one of the site sections instead

    I'm trying to read a news website gazeta.ru, but Firefox opens a sports section gazeta.ru/sport. IE Tab or other browsers work fine, so it must be a problem with Firefox/addon settings.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.<br />

  • Firefox 4 doesn't open in a homepage, but rather opens the last page I visited, which I HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So far the Firefox upgrades are nothing but trouble to me and my computer. Where is the homepage. Why when I open Firefox from the desktop shortcut do I not get a homepage, but rather the last page I visited. I was doing bills, and finished but couldn't find the log off button, so closed the page, and then closed firefox. When I re-opened, it opened right to the page where I was still signed into my account!!!!!!! A security failure if I ever saw one. There is not one thing I have found to be helpful since Firefox first updated me to 3.6.14, then quit responding completely! So I tried the 4 Beta, and it is so far a disaster.

    If the Cookies window is open and no browser or other Firefox windows are open, opening a new browser window will now still open the last page visited instead of a blank page, even if "Show a blank page" is selected for "When Firefox starts:", and even if the last browser window opened was blank; I tested this by opening a webpage and then opening a blank browser window, closing the browser window with the webpage, then closing the blank browser window, then opening a new browser window while the Cookies window remained open. It is a time waster to have to continually close and reopen the Cookies window and a potential privacy disaster to have your website reopened after you closed your browser. Please, please, fix this.

  • The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm.

    The "new" hotmail no longer works with safari, but works with firefox. Hmm. i find this very convenient being a microsoft product. anybody else wonder why this new version happens to not be safari compatible? does anybody know if it works on the PC version of safari? if not, i find this to be a blatant move on microsofts part to bias the safari browser (especially since its basicly new on the window platform). forcing safari/hotmail users to "have" to use another browser to access their hotmail accounts.

    I have been successfully using Hotmail and Gmail with Safari for a long time. For roughly the past month, that relationship is rocky at best. At times, one of the following actions suddenly opens Hotmail, but it is a short-lived solution:
    (a) Hotmail directly
    (b) Hotmail Home>Hotmail
    (c) Sign up to Windows Hotmail
    (d) Deletion of prescribed cookies, resetting, etc. - made no difference
    Both Firefox and Opera work fine with Hotmail - especially Opera is very fast.
    In addition, Safari and Gmail does not work with Attachments, but otherwise Gmail is OK.
    I suspect I have to wait for a Safari fix because in my case I do not wish to abandon Hotmail, and Safari is a given. I would think that Safari would want to stay competitive with the two biggies, Hotmail and Gmail, which must have large numbers of users.
    I certainly would appreciate any other suggested fixes.

  • Photos uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iphone but not with ipad

    Photos which are uploaded through icloud control panel are only synced with iPhone but not with iPad. Photos taken with iPhone or iPad are synced with all devices. So, why I do not get the uploaded photos from my pc to iPad? I alredy disabled photo stream on all devices - same failure

    If only one device is not getting updated data, you need to troubleshoot that device and not photostream itself.
    Verify that ipad is connected to wifi, charged over 20 percent, camera app is closed and take a photo of the screen (or anything else, but then close that camera app).
    Open photostream folder on that ipad and see if picture shows up. If you network is good, should not take long.
    Don't forget that while your phone can use wifi and cellular (even it suppose to use wifi for photostream, cellular networks got much better since original photostream was implemented) - you ipad is probably wifi only.
    If picture shows up - you ipad and photostream have no problems and you can go to other devices one by one.

  • Why does the FP 10 work with firefox but not with IE8

    I down loaded the folowing for xp FP uninstall, FP plugin and FP debug from the link in one of your replys. now I can watch youtube  with firefox but not with IE8. you asked me before if i was using 16 bit. whats that mean and how do I find out? please help I just want to watch youtube on IE!

    Ok Shag, since you hadn't been on a Forum before, then I'll take some of what I said back:-) I wanted you to stay on one thread, you can get in trouble trying things that may cause you more problems than you had in the beginning. I just had your best interest at heart
    I'll even overlook your all caps here:-) At least you responded
    Now since you say you fixed it, what you should do is to confirm it is fixed by taking a look at your Flash folder. This contains all of the Flash files for IE and FF. Then make sure you have the IE add on and the FF add on. That way if you have any future problems, at least you would know it is not the Flash Player.
    You should only have 2 .exe files for IE and 1 for FF.
    For Video editing, I would check Microsoft and see what they have. Perhaps someone else will come along with other info for you.
    No, I don't get paid here, since I am not an employee. Just a user helping others, since I had a problem at one time and after 4 hours of researching solved it.
    Let me know if you want to check the Flash files.
    Thanks,

  • I get sound from Youtube with Safari but not with Firefox

    I get sound when using my MacPro with Safari but not with Firefox.

    Did you check the volume setting in the player to make sure that the sound isn't muted?
    You can try to clear the Flash local storage.

  • Can manually subscribe with Windows but not with Mac

    For some reason I am able to manually subscribe to the below feed just fine with iTunes on my PC (Windows XP) but I get an error when trying with my iMac (OS X 10.5.8):
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/Metalspeak*
    The error I'm getting with my iMac references "An unknown error occured (400)"
    I was troubleshooting a different feed and am getting similar results: it works fine with the PC, but not with the iMac:
    *http://feeds.feedburner.com/MetalsPeakPodcast*
    The error I'm getting on this feed however states "The file might be corrupted, or a file type that iTunes cannot play"
    Can anyone think of why these feeds work with Windows but not with Mac? Any advice is appreciated!

    The problem lies with the URLs for your media files. The one for the top episode is
    http://www.metalspeak.com/episodes/MetalsPeak 10 - GenresPeak.mp3
    This URL contains spaces, which are not allowed in a URL. Browsers - and from what you say iTunes in Windows - handles this by substituting the code %20 for each space when requesting the file; iTunes for Mac does not.
    You need either to change the filename for each media file, removing the spaces or substituting something such as an underscore, and then amending the feed accordingly: or at the least to amend the feed by replacing each space with %20.
    It's the same problem in the other feed.

  • Audio CD not recognized with Mini but reads with Macbook?

    Error message saying Audio CD not recognized with Mini but reads with Macbook pro. Both machines are using the same Samsung external usb dvd/cd player.
    I've tried rebooting the mini, cleaning the disk, unplugging the drive and the Mini still won't recognize the CD's (it's a 3 cd set and all 3 disks aren't working on the Mini.
    When I use the same disks and drive with my Macbook Pro everything works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Jay,
    Certainly a strange one!?
    Are these commercial or self made Discs?
    Have you tried CD/DVD sharing on the MBP & see if the Mini can read them in the MBP?

  • BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac

    my BB does sync media with PC but not with Mac. At my Mac I got 'Insert media card'. How can this be solved as PC is no problem?

    I got the Bold 9790. I am not sure which OS, does that matter? Are there OS versions not compatible?

  • When I open FF, it continually recalls the last site, how do I stopt this it's annoying! I want it to open BLANK everytime

    when I open FF, it continually recalls the last site, how do I stopt this it's annoying! I want it to open BLANK everytime

    This did not work and actually was already setup properly. There must be another setting or there is a bug. I have W7 64B so the environment is a little different although it should not be a problem. If a launch from a websit that opens a new browser window it does not launch that window, it open the previous site instead.

  • Cannot open digitally signed PDF's with Acrobat but can with Reader.

    My users have PDF files that have been digitally signed by other users. 
    When opening these files with Adobe Acrobat Pro, it crashes the application.- a generic referenced memory error on some systems, a DDE server error on others, or a font capture error on others - not sure why the discrepancy there.
    The files can be opened with Adobe Reader with no error.
    We are at Acrobat 9.4.5 and Reader 9.4.5
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat Pro 9 and verified the same result with Pro 9.0 so it isn't the version or an update.
    I have verified this on multiple machines. - I have even installed both pro and reader on one machine and verified that I could open the PDF file with Reader but not Acrobat Pro.
    We can open other PDF files with no problem.
    I have tried disabling as much of the security options as possible but still get the same result.
    If I clear the PDF file fields (including the signatures) in Adobe Reader then it can be opened in Adobe Acrobat Pro.
    Does Acrobat Pro authenticate the digital signatures differently than Adobe Reader?
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Hi J.O.S.,
    Regarding your question "Does Acrobat Pro authenticate the digital signatures differently than Adobe Reader" the short answer is no.
    However, there are other things that Acrobat can do with a file that Reader cannot, so there could be an operation that Acrobat is trying to execute (other than signature validation) which is causing the crash. You don't see it in Reader because Reader doesn't know how to do whatever the offending operation is.
    That said, can you send me the file that is crashing Acrobat to [email protected] and I'll see if I can figure out what is amiss.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • HELP!! Command Q doesn't Quit any App but rather Opens up Mail

    Hi Guys,
    I guess the subject title says it all. It seems that when hitting the "Command + Q" keys, none of my applications Quit but rather opens up the Mail app.
    Any fixes for this?
    Thank you!!

    My mistake!! For some reason, it got programs in Max Menus.. Hmmm.

  • When opening a second window, homepage doesn't open and can't access any other site, stays a blank white screen.

    After updating to Firefox 6, every time I open a second window, all I get is a blank, white page. My homepage doesn't open, either, even when I hit the home button. I have to manually type in my homepage address, and then, it's the only address that will show in the address bar, even after I leave the page or open any other tabs. The same thing happens when I open new tabs in the second window. Also, the back and forward arrows, stop, and refresh buttons do not work in the second window. None of the short-cut keys on the keyboard will work with in the second window, either. Most of the time, any page that I go to, in the second window, continues to load, never fully loading.
    I even went back to Firefox 5 to see if that would solve the problem, but it didn't. I still have the same issues.
    Everything appears to be working fine in the first window.
    How can I clear all this up?
    EDIT: I waited a few days and reinstalled Firefox 6.0 and everything seems to be working okay.

    There's a good chance this is related to a bug that kicks in when you do not have Flash running in any tab and you open a new window to a page that does use Flash. The details are in this recent thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/955659 Opening New Windows and Shockwave Flash].
    I don't know whether opening a Flash site in a private window makes this problem occur more frequently. Maybe it does because the new window is more isolated from the previous one???
