Firefox issue, backspace icon goes all the way back to the home page

Hello,
This behavior is consistent.
IE 8 browser - back icon goes back 1 screen
Firefox 3.0.3 - back icon goes back X number of pages to the home page. The only way I have found to go back 1 page is to click on the directory path:

You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Sounds like you are in Full screen mode. Run your cursor to the top of the page and click on the blue arrows on the right hand side.

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 i start Firefox ( 5.0.1 ) it loads the home page fine but along with it, it starts playing a video i watched earlier on youtube and it is invisible ( no where in tabs ) and i can just hear the sound. After playing the video one time it stops.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

How do I get the home button in Firefox 18.0.1 to open the home pages in existing tabs instead of new tabs? I have tried some add on with no luck.

I have tried the following Add on - Tab Utilities and Tab Mix Plus.
Basically on start up of Mozilla, I have five tabs that load. After surfing/working a bit online, I would like to reload the five original tabs back to the original home page/load settings. If I click on the home button, five more tabs load, giving me ten tabs instead of the five original that I desire.
Are there any other add on that would fix this. I tried the two above but either they do not offer it or I don't know what settings to choose.

The best way to keep your home page in the tab is to open other links in a new tab with a middle-click. 
Clicking the home page always open a new set, so you would have to close the current tabs first to prevent getting multiple home page sets. 
I don't know if there is still an extension that can open the home pages and replace the current set.

How can I rest Firefox 4 becasue when I reset the home page to my site, it operates once correctly and then falls back into a series of five different ages strung together. no matter what I do.

I have opened the options and removed the string of addresses. I have removed the sessionstore files. When I enter any site address as the home page, close Firefox, and reopen it, Firefox opens to the correct page. If I close it and reopen it, it has the series of web pages in the home page block in the Options menu.
I have found that putting a blank page in the home page choice, will open a blank page, but the same string of characters appears in the Options menu home page block.

How to make Firefox 8.0.1 load only the home page when starting?

After upgrading to 8.0.1, I see two tabs being loaded when starting - my home page and this http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/central/. I dont find a setting to not load mozilla page.
This happens only when the first instance of firefox is started. If I start another firefox, it loads only the home page tab.

How to make it that when i click my logo, it goes to the home page?

I want to make it on my website, that when i click on my logo on the top of my webpages, it should go to the home page. How can I do that?
My website is www.iphoneappguru.com
Thanks!

Select the logo in iWeb and use the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane to link the logo image to "One of my pages"
Click to view full size
However, I would not use the First menu option but select the page name instead.

All of a sudden my back button does not work at all, on any site, and when I start Firefox it does not go to the home page I specified

Just a few days ago, I noticed that when I start Firefox it goes to a blank page, despite the fact that I have several times checked and rechecked under "Options" and my home page is in there. Also the back button has stopped working. I have made sure that inprivate browsing is not enabled, history is maintained etc etc

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

Why will firefox not allow me to change the home page

I am running firefox on vista laptop and since one of the upgrades of firefox I have now a automatic homepage of http://www.searchqu.com/406. I have tried to change it several times to various pages and it does not hold the address, not even a blank one. This happens even if I only close the browser for a split second. Can I please get some advise on this matter.
Many Thanks

Type '''about:config''' in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' button.
* Preferences that have been modified are shown as '''bold (user set)'''.
* Preferences can be '''Reset to the default''' or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the '''Filter bar''', type '''searchqu'''
* This will show all '''searchqu''' related preferences.
* '''Reset''' all '''searchqu''' related Preferences to their Default values (right-click a preference and click '''Reset''')
-> Close the '''about:config''' tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.

Home page bookmarks save last page in each site I was in; not the home page of that site

I have several websites saved as my home page - fine, this is not a problem; they all open okay. But; instead of going to the home page of each website - which is what I have set, several times now - it insists on going to the last page I had open '''within each website''' this causes error messages & I have to re-load the site, as for obvious reasons it cannot always find the last page I was on. (Example: one of the sites is 'Transport for London'; I set the home page as one of my tabs; but if I have been trying to plan a journey, Firefox will try to open that journey search the next time & will get an error message instead). Is there any way of fixing this? I think the 'set home page' is not working properly.

Maybe it is something to do with
I set all the tabs 'exactly as I want them to open, and click 'use current pages'
Try setting them as th ehome page such as http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ with the pipe "|" separator between each one.
If you do not mind disclosing the info show your homepage settings as pasted from the troubleshooting page. I have just tried
*browser.startup.homepage
**http://www.tfl.gov.uk/|http://www.google.co.uk/|about:home|about:blank|http://www.bbc.co
I have done a journey search and restarted with no problem the London Transport homepage shows.
