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.

  • When I click on FILE/EXIT on any open browser, Firefox doesn't just close that window, but all open windows as well.

    Al open Firefox windows, that is.
    OS is Windows XP Home Edition SP3

    This is actually really poor usability. No other software does this. eg- if I have 3 instances of Word open, clicking File/Exit in one of them doesn't affect the other two.
    ie- the issue is that Firefox is going against the general Windows convention adopted by pretty much all other software packages.
    ie- Really Irritating!

  • Firefox 9.0.1 started printing oversize print, rather than the gicen page-how to correct this?

    Suddenly one page of email could not be printed on one page- I works fine on my MacPowerbook G4 with OS10.4, but it will not do it correct on my MacBook Pro running OS10.6. The Powerbook G4 has Firefox 3.6.22.
    This happened in the past couple of days.* Bulleted list item

    Hi chucklasvegas,
    Have you looked at the KB article [[Firefox prints incorrectly]]? There is a lot of good troubleshooting information in there. I would suggest just resetting all your print preferences.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • I have firefox 5 on windows 7 ultimate, evry time i close the browser , when it is opened again i get the last page i was browsing, but Options, general, when firefox starts is set to show my homepage, whats wrong?

    homepage is set to www.google.co.uk, this works when i click the home page icon, but not when i open the browser, its always the last site i visited , which i dont want

    Perhaps your install of Firefox is hanging on exit, triggering the session restore.
    You can disable session restore by changing a hidden preference.
    Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
    Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    In the filter box type resume to bring up a small number of preferences
    Double-click on the preference browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to change its value to false

  • When i open my browser it does not go to the home page but the last page that I was on in my previous internet session. whats going on here?

    Ok so I open my Firefox browser but when it opens it does not go to the homepage. It goes to the last page I visited in my previous internet session. My homepage is www.imdb.com but lets says I go to www.facebook.com and then i close the window; if I reopen firefox it will go to the facebook page and not the homepage. This happens all the time and it even happens after I restart the computer. It always goes to the last page I visited. Like this page for example where I posted a question. Once i close firefox, and then open it again, it will come to this page and not the homepage. Is this supposed to happen? It started happened a few weeks back. I reinstalled it and it still happens. thanks.

    Hi eaglerabbit,
    This is a pretty easy fix. Just go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and change the preference for what Firefox should do on startup. You probably have it set to load tabs and pages from your previous session.
    If that doesn't work, you should look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Firefox wont always restart on the home page - goes back to the last page viewed

    will close firefox,and when i reopen it, it will reopen on the last page rather than what i have set it up for our home page..

    # Open the Options window and go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

  • Sapscript bottom text in Main, just for the last page, but printing only in the last page

    I need to print a text but only for the last page in the main window.
    I have tried with IF.
    IF &PAGE& = &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES&
    BOTTOM
    ....TEXT
    ENDBOTTOM
    ENDIF
    But it prints in all pages in every main window.
    Can someone point me what I am doing wrong or how can I do this?
    Regards,
    Carlos

    Hello Carlos,
    the problem with this condition is the following.
    The Sapscript composer cannot know during the processing of e.g. the first page,
    how many pages will follow. So &SAPSCRIPT-FORMPAGES& still contains the same
    value like& PAGE& and is filled with the correct values only at the very end of the processing.
    (when the total number of pages is known).
    So I suggest you to use the BOTTOM command in the print program,
    when the processing of all item of the MAIN window is ended.
    There is an other variable &NEXTPAGE&.  &NEXTPAGE& will always be 0
    when it reaches to last page to print. The problem with this variable that
    it can not be used in a condition in MAIN window too, only in a separate page window.
    Regards,
    Hedvig

  • I have Firefox configured so that it should go to my homepage when started, but it takes me to the last page I was at when closed. This started with the crappy new version. Help!

    I recently upgraded to the newest version of Firefox - which I hate! My problem is that I have it configured to go to my home page when started, but instead it keeps going to the last page I was on. How do I fix that.

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

    Hi Guys,

    Any fixes for this?

  • Preview doesn't remember the last page opened

    I have noticed that Preview doesn't remember the last page of the PDF documents after 30 mins of usage (or opening up several PDF files). Is there any way to make Preview always remember the last page of files irrespective of time the file was last used and number of PDF files opened? I think in SL-ML era this was probably the case but since Mavericks it seems to have changed.

    Deleting "browser.download.lastDir" makes firefox unusable.
    It's very annoying. I'm sick of the update to 3.6. It's getting worse with each minor update.
    Hour after hour researching about this odd behavior sucks!

  • When I click on a link in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but just shows the home page, not the page I clicked for

    When I click on a link in an email in Thunderbird, Firefox 4 starts, but only shows the home page(s) not the page of the link

    I think i've found how to fix this issue when it appears. Don't know what caused it to happen, but that's up to the devs.
    In Thunderbird, you need to re-register http and https to make them open with Firefox (or open well with firefox in this case).
    How to to this?
    Well... open the about:config in thunderbird. You can achieve this by clicking configuration-editor in the advanced tab.
    search for the strings: network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http. Set both to "true".
    The next time you click on a link from within Thunderbird, it will ask you to set wich program you'd like to open it with.
    Be Aware now!!! Firefox may already be listed in there, but don't pick that one. instead... choose to browse for the app and point to the binairy/exe of firefox.
    (for example: /usr/bin/firefox or c:/program files/mozilla/firefox.)
    You will notice that firefox now does open up with the page you just clicked on.
    If it doesn't right away... just restart thunderbird and check again.
    Please respond if this works for you too on all platforms. It's more interesting to know it does than if it's not.

    When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history page etc. Happens on all options that should open new page. I am so frustrated, this has been happening since Firefox updated itself 2 days ago to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) was fine before that. using windows vista. Can you please advise what I should do? Also can you go back to previous version? Error console eg

  • When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

    Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

    Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".
