Downloaded Firefox 4 and my home page disappeared
I downloaded Firefox 4 today and could not get back to my home page at all. Fortunately, I had loaded google chrome, and went in there and copied and pasted into firefox and my home page came back. Not sure what happened.. I have Windows 7-64 bit. I was afraid I would have to restore to an earlier point to get everything back. I have igoogle settings on my computer.
If I did something wrong, please let me know.
thanks, Dorothy Silliman
Same problem here. Running Roboform 6.10 does not work with 4.0. Either get Roboform 7 or fallback to Firefox 3.x

I upgraded my Firefox and my home page (which I love) is GONE. Not sure how to get it back. I still have my bookmarks though. Thanks in advance for helping me.
If that didn't help then see this article for more suggestions:

Almost everytime I launch FireFox, first my home page will open but less than a minute later, I'm directed to a web page I've never heard of before.

How do i get a larger typeface using firefox and igoogle home page?
I just switched to Firefox from Explorer 8. (I don't want 9.) I still have Explorer but am trying Firefox and the igoogle homepage type is too small. Where can I change the size or enlarge it? When I open Explorer with the igoogle homepage it is the right size. I can barely see the type using Firefox.
If it is just the one page, the page may have been zoomed out. With the site on display try resetting page zoom by using the keyboard shortcut Control+0 (zero)
For more details on page zoom see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Page+Zoom -
Every time I updated Firefox to something higher than 3.xxx, each time I open the browser, "Welcome to Firefox" and my home page opens up. How do I get "Welcome to Firefox" to stop opening? Also...all the colors are missing on the menu bar. All the text is white............Bill
Hi wbricki,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# 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! -

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?
That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Hello. I have windows xp. When using Firefox as my home page, I get awful screen interference of lines verticle and horizontal. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't get them. I want to keep Firefox as server.
Here is something that you can try:
# Click on Tools and then click Options.
# Select the Advanced panel
# Select the General tab
# Uncheck Use hardware acceleration where available.
# Click File and then click Exit.
# Start Firefox normally.
Once you have followed those steps, you'll want to follow these as well and see if the lines are gone.
Click the Help menu and select Restart with Add-ons Disabled.
Let me know if this has eliminated the problem. -
i seem to have picked up some sort of virus or bug of some kind. I'm getting personals ads throughout my Facebook and yahoo home page. i've tried CCleaner and it takes them off but only for a short time so i downloaded iantivirus but that found nothing
It may not be a good soloution for a novice, but I have been using hosts files to block unwanted URLs for many years with zero disasters and lots of positive results.
As I noted, whenever I find a new "bad" site, I simply add the name to my hosts file. It takes a few seconds and then it's gone forever. I find no difficulty whatsoever.
No, it's not for everyone, which is why I gave no specific details; but for those who are interested and have the desire to learn about these hosts files, it is a very good way to avoid "bad" websites.
I also enjoy the "clean" view of a webpage when there are no ads showing at all. The page loads faster and the distractions are gone.
I never realized how much junk I am supressing until I got my iPad and saw all those horrid ads that are blocked on my other computers.
Here is a typical result of properly using a hosts file:

* If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see a missing item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window onto one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

I can't open Firefox. The home page doesn't come up, I just keep getting the Crash Reporter asking me to restart/quit but every time I do this the same message comes back. I've not been able to use Firefox for days now.
Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing.<br>
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport<br>
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it.<br>
http://www.trusteer.com/support/en/report-problem<br>
If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.<br>

I downloaded Firefox and it installed sweetpacks on my desktop. How do I get rid of it?
It has infected all my browsers.
Points of information.
* Firefox does not ordinarily contain such software. In fact where possible it tries to help protect users.
* sweetpacks now '''blocklisted''' (bug 88147) by Firefox, although that does not help those already with such software.
*Users may also need to look in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders hidden] folders, for such software
**It may have some correlation with ''toparcade''
** related thread [/questions/960863?page=2#answer-448693] it is a long thread but you may wish to scroll for information and links.
*To regain normal Firefox behaviour it may well be necessary to reset search engines '''after''' uninstalling the errant software
** see [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] and note the recommended addon searchreset

Over the past two or three weeks, my Safari has bogged down. It will load most Web pages just fine, but YouTube, Google and Facebook just won't launch. I managed to use it to download Firefox and it's working great. Safari is still a no-go.
Hi Jake ...
Those three sites require the Flash plugin.
Quit Safari.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try one of those sites.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
If uninstalling and reinstalling Flash didn't help, it could be a cookies issue.
Back to the Safari menu bar again, click Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click Show Cookies. Then click Remove All > Done
Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
