Everytime I start up it goes to the mozilla start page, as if first time started

Everytime I sart firefox it shows the start up page. If I change the home page, when I shut down, then start back up again, it changes to the firefox start page.

The "<b>MetaStream 3 Plugin r4 </b>" extension has been reported to cause this issue.

    Hi Larry,
    Thanks...that was one of the things I first tried. I did a save as another document.
    I also resized the image in PS so it would be at 100% of size, figuring that would help and I made the image box's background white instead of none, but nothing so far.

  • TS1398 an unprotected wifi network brings up the log in screen that goes to the apple home page. how do I prevent this?

    an unprotected wifi network brings up the log in screen that goes to the apple home page. how do I prevent this?

    This seems to be the best working option (while not 100% success):
    From Demo:
    Try this.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    When I go to add a new device (computer) it doesn't take me to a place to put in the code that Sync generated on the existing account computer but instead takes me to the Mozilla help page on how to add a new device. Why is this happening and how do I work around it?

    Hi!

    If upgrading is not an option, I will encourage you too start the browser in [[Safe Mode]].

  • My homepage is being hijacked by the mozilla firstrun page

    I've tried all the "fixes" listed for other homepage hijacks, but they don't seem to cure this problem. Whenever I close Firefox and reopen, the homepage is always the Mozilla firstrun page. How can I get this to be MY preferred homepage, not the Mozilla first run page?

    This article might help: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20has%20just%20updated%20tab%20shows%20each%20time%20you%20start%20Firefox Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].

    That is the snippet container.
    You can hide that container or set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty String on the <b>about:config</b> to make Firefox use some default snippets.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
    You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
    *ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
    <pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:home){
    /* hide snippet container on the about:home page */
    #snippetContainer { display: none !important; }

    Can you attach a screenshot if you mean something else?

  • When I launch Safari 5.1, it goes to the last web page I had open and not to my home page.  How do I fix this?

    I have verified my home page setting.  Prior versions of Safari would launch the Top Sites page at start-up, but now it doesn't even do that. 

    Open Safari Preferences, General tab.  Make your selection for "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with".  You can choose from a drop-down list which includes Top Sites, Home Page, Last page, etc.

  • 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.

  • Every time I click on my home page it opens two tabs one of which is the mozilla atart page. I would like it to stop.

    I believe that the question is self descriptive. I open a new tab and it opens. I click on my home page which is Google. The browser then opens a second tab and in the second tab that it opens is the Mozilla start page. if I do this several times during the day I end up with several tabs open to the Mozilla start page and it is irritating.
    Thank you for your help.

    Firefox can have multiple home pages, check your list of home pages to ensure that the 2 sites are not listed. See [[how to set the home page]] for details.

    Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The 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 the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the 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.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • Understanding the Creative Cloud Plans for a first-time photoshop user

    I've never had photoshop before and I downloaded just the free 30-day trial. Then I purchased the Creative Cloud Photography plan (the one that's 9.99 a month). But I need help understanding what this offer me, because in the description this seemed to offer Photoshop and Lightroom, but I don't see an option to install those apps on my creative cloud.
    If I'm a first time user do I have to buy the creative cloud complete in order to have access to Photoshop and Lightroom?

    Here's a screenshot of what I've got right now. The apps are just saying try, not install. Do I need to purchase the products themselves and the CC is just access to the cloud?

  • 993 How do I stop the Mozilla Tour page from coming up whenever I open my browser. Just want the home page

    Whenever I open my browser I get a tab with my home page and a Mozilla tour sync etc tab. I don't want the Mozilla page.

    Hi there,
    Understood! We don't like being bombarded with advertising any more than you do.
    If this is happening every time you open Firefox, it might be that Mozilla tab has also been set as your homepage.
    To check this:
    # Click the menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] button, press ''Options''
    # On the ''General'' page you'll a box labelled ''Home Page''
    # If the Mozilla web address is included in that home page box, delete it.
    Let us know if this fixes the issue. Cheers!
