Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

Why can't I get Bing on my home page?

I cannot get anything sponsored by Bing when on my homepage MSN.

Please see here: [[how to set the home page]]

AFTER I DOWNLOADED FIREFOX 4, EVERYTIME I OPEN THE PROGRAM I GET THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE- TYPE ERROR:COMPONENT.CLASSES[CID] IS UNDEFINED. HOW DO I CORRECT THIS?

After upgrading to firefox 4, everytime I open the program, I get the following message, "TYPE ERROR:conponentclasses undefined." How do I correct this?

That indicates that you are using an add-on that is not compatible with Firefox 4. For details of how to troubleshoot this to find out what one is causing the problem see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

I can't get rid of Bing from my home page, how do I do this?

Without being aware of it I downloaded Bing, I got rid of it as a toolbar but now every time I turn on my computer instead of getting Comcast as my home page I get a picture with the Bing logo and a Bing search site. Hoe do I get rid of this ? I can't even find my downloads for some reason>

I already hated Microsoft, but there's no way I'm using Bing now.

Have FF 15.0. When I open FF I always get following message: Norton Cofidential does not support FF 1.5, as if I have 1.5. What's up?

I have FF 15.0. When I open FF I always get following message: Norton Confidential does not support FF 1.5, as if I have 1.5. How do I fix this. Do I not have a secure site?

It is most likely because Firefox 15 is in beta, so norton hasn't added full support for it yet. I'd except them to update their software in the next 3 weeks (Firefox 15 gets released in about a week and a half).

I just did an update to 6.0 on Lion. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button it re-opens to my home page, not all my previous tabs.. prior to the update it would re-open with all my previous tabs, which is what I want.

I just did an update to Lion 10.7.4 with Safari 6.0. Now when I re-open Safari after closing it by clicking the red button, it re-opens to just my home page, not to all my previous tabs as it did before the update. I prefer having my old tabs re-open. How can I fix this?

I've had what I think is the same problem since the most recent software update. I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0. The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions. I don't like that as well, but I can live with it. However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out. So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button. Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close. The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything. I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info. Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem. I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this. I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

Each time I open my Firefox browser, the tab from the last time opens. I have the browser set to open on my home page, not to the tab from the last time. I keep trying to save the setting for the browser to open on my home page but it doesn't.

Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

In a Frame someother page content gets loaded (always I get indianrail.gov.in home page content in frames of all pages)

If I load any page using Mozilla firefox, I find Indian Railway site home page coming up in some of the frames. This problem does not occur in Internet Explorer.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but this problem continues. If required I can provide a screen shot of the problem. For example : If I need to design a template for any site, I should get a blank box for template design. But in Firefox, this blank box is filled with Indianrail.gov.in website home page not allowing me to do any work. Pl help in solving this issue.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I want to print the story on a story site but all that gets printed is the home page.

If I go to a site where readers have posted stories I want to print out those stories so I can read them in a comfortable chair and not have to stare at a computer screen. When using Internet Explorer when I click on the story and then hit ctr+p it will print out the story no matter how many pages it is.
When I try that on Firefox all that gets printed is the home page of the site.
By the way, my computer shop installed Firefox the other day so I don't know what version it is.

Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens. The first tab opens Google's advance search, the second tab opens a blank window. I always want Google to be in a new page.

You can look at one of these extensions:

With version 5, on starting get a box "checking compatibility of add-ons" then to Firefox home page not my home page--What's happening?

Just installed version 5. As above I get the box then it goes to Firefox home page not my home page. I've updated and/or disabled every add-on or extension and it made no difference. I am in a university behind a tough firewall. I'd love to go back to version 4 but that isn't available.

Disabled add-ons will still be checked and can still be updated.
I don't know why you are continuously getting the message, you should only get it when there is a version change.
You can try solutions in https://support.mozilla.com/questions/817681 but you had better make a list of what extensions you had disabled first, because all of your extensions will be enabled when you delete/rename those files in your profile. You can use about:support to get a list of your extensions. (renaming is safer than deleting).

Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

Hi konee,
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!

When Firefox opens it goes to the FF home page not my home page, home button does go to my home page

I just switched to Firefox 5 now when I open Firefox it opens the Firefox home page not the Road runner home page I use. If I hit home page on the task bar it does go to Road Runner. What do I need to change so opening Firefox opens my home page?

You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.
If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/prefs.js_file prefs.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] isn't corrupted.
