Firefox doesn't open at homepage.

In Tools>Options I have it set to show my homepage when FF starts. Despite that, when I open Firefox, it opens to one of the pages in my history, not always the last place I was either. Sometimes it's where I was last, other times it's just some random page in recent history.
FF v. 3.6.10

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Firefox will not open my homepage road runner anymore, but I still get the net. Explorer lets me open my homepage, why?

    Firefox is not opening my homepage anymore which is road runner.
    It tells me that there is a problem with road runner, but that is not true because when I go through Explorer, my rr homepage comes up.

    Try resetting your Homepage.

  • Firefox doesn't open, but is open in Processes in Task Manager, not even profile manager opens up for Firefox opens up. Please help

    I'm using Vista, 32 bit - not even downloading the beta version of Firefox 4 helps; it downloads (just like the regular version of Firefox, 3.4) and I can install it, but trying to run it gives me nothing - no warning, no text; it just doesn't open up, but is still visible in my start menu, programs folder and in task manager. And not even profile manager opens up.

    Make sure that you do not remove your personal data when you uninstall Firefox. Then you won't lose personal data stored in a different location in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder].

  • When I click on a link within a website to open a document (word, excel etc.), Firefox doesn't open it. Even when I tell it to open in a new window, it just opens a blank tab labeled "untitled."

    When I try to click on a link to a document within a website, that document doesn't open like it should. For instance, if I go to the census website and click on a link to open an excel spreadsheet, Firefox doesn't do it. It usually does nothing; if I tell it to open in a new window or tab, it just opens a tab labeled "untitled" that ends up being a blank page.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 months ago?

    Go to Tools->Options->Apps
    Here you should see two columns: Content Type on the left, Actions on the right.
    Find and select excel spreadsheet or any other content type in the left column. There should be a corresponding action in the right column. What is it? You can use the drop-down list to select the option you want:
    Always Ask - Firefox will ask each time: What do you want to do with this file?
    Save file - Firefox will save this file to your computer
    Use - Firefox will give this file to the program to open it
    In case of saving, Firefox will either prompt you every time where you want the file to be saved, or save it to the default location. It depends on the preference in
    Tools->Options->General->Download

    Hi weaver15,
    You should try changing your home page to:
    about:home
    I think this is probably the page you are looking for. If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    Hopefully this helps

  • Firefox doesn't open a new tab unless I access a random link. How do I fix this?

    The problem that I have with my Firefox browser is that when I click the '+' button to open a new tab, it doesn't open. But if I click on some random link, it opens in a new tab. This has been going on for almost 2 weeks and I don't know what could have caused this problem. I hope that you can help me. I tried reinstalling Firefox, but the problem persists. Thank you.

    I suggest you to upgrade your browser to Firefox 7 and check:
    * getfirefox.com

  • Since yesterday clicking on a link in an email message firefox doesn't open a new tab with that particular website.

    I am using Firefox 3.6.13 on a 2009 Mac Pro computer (OSX 10.6.6). Up until yesterday when I clicked on a link in an email message Firefox opened a new tab and switched to that particular website. Since yesterday Firefox doesn't do that. I have Firefox set up as my default browser. I tried to change my default browser to Safari, then everything worked fine. Clicking on a link in a message a new tab has opened in Safari with that particular website. My problem is, that I like Firefox a bit more than Safari and I'd like to know what to do to restore that functionality to Firefox.

    It's a good idea to try disabling Flash completely and see whether the problem continues. If it does, then my guess is incorrect. To test that, open this tab:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
    Here you can locate Shockwave Flash and use the Disable button. Keep this tab open for easy access when doing your test.
    ''If your test confirms that Flash is causing the problem,'' then the other thread has two suggested workarounds. The first is simple to understand (keep some Flash running at all times) but may be inconvenient to do all the time. The second is trickier because it requires editing a file in (or creating and then dragging a file into) a system folder. Fortunately you only need to do it once.

  • Firefox doesn't open on my laptop. Why?

    When I click on the Firefox icon on my taskbar, it doesn't open. I also tried using the icons in the "Start" icon. I restarted the computer, checked with McAfee if it was blocking it (which it isn't), etc... but still can't open Firefox.
    Why? Can someone help me please?

    I´ve tried, but it doesn´t work at all. Only in Private Browsing Modus. Don´t know, what I should do. It´s only on my Laptop. I have this Browser on my PC and there it works. Also Waterfox, it´s all the same.

    Hello Laura.
    Does this also happen on other browsers? If it's only Firefox, try clearing your cache: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
    If that doesn't work, try deleting your Facebook cookies (no data will be lost): https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Deleting+cookies
    If that doesn't help, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
