Firefox only loads book-marked websites. no websites load from firefox default home page searh or address bar inputs. HELP

I Run Windows 7 Ultimate. I use Avast anti Virus. Google Chrome works fine. Firefox started not responding to searches queries from its default home page. When I input an address in the address line i also had no reaction. When i clicked om a bookmark it does load that particular website. I have uninstalled firefox completely. Reloaded the latest version downloaded from Mozilla. Still have the same problem. I did a Reset Firefox. No luck. I changed the proxy settings to "no proxy". I have done the "disable IPv6" in about:config. I have created the "network.dns.disablePrefetch" boolean. Still no luck. Please help.

Look for and turn off '''Use Hardware Acceleration'''.

Firefox loading wrong page when searching from default home page

Hi,
When I try a search from the default home page (about:home) in Firefox, instead of bringing up google search results I get sent to the following page
http://search.tuxendo.com
Has anyone come across this before?

This reply by cor-el was a partial solution to the problem. But there was a further problem. Ask.com had a .exe program installed in my computer along with a program I had installed (Webroot anti-virus and Spy Sweeper), and this .exe program would keep restoring ask.com as the default search engine after I removed it. I had to use the "remove program" function of the Control Panel to remove the .exe program (called Webroot Ask.exe or something close to that) to finish the job.
So to dispose of the problem, follow the advice above from cor-el, and then go to the Control Panel, track down some form of ask.exe, and remove it.

I had on my desk top PC (a vista OS) a version of FireFox that the book marks where listed in the book tool bar tab and the "book tool" was able to show all my favs and there was a scroll bar on the right side of the top right side. I would like very much to turn it on in the Laptop I just bought and am having a fit trying to figure out all the differences,.I very much like this function; however, I am now using win 7 which in and of itself is difficult to figure out troubles when they occur such as if the MSN Bing program opens a video window while I am playing, the media center will lock up, or if I am listening to BBradio.org and click on lestening to one of the pastors the laptop will show static on the screen and all you hear is static like you just went to the twilight zone.

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs. 
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
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.

Chrome and Firefox only display phone version of Muse website and not the desktop content

My website workeffects.com was working properly a couple of weeks ago - desktop, tablet and phone. For some reason, now the desktop version only appears when it's viewed in Safari --- Chrome and Firefox only display the phone version of the site.
Please help. I have clients that need to see the desktop version.
I have Creative Cloud and everything is up to date on the software.
Wendi

The desktop version of my site (workeffects.com) loads properly for Safari and Internet Explorer, but when the site is viewed in Firefox or Chrome it only shows the Phone version of the site. Please make a recommendation on how to fix this issue.

My website is accessible via Internet Explorer but not Firefox? It is a simple jpeg image being used as a home page.

No matter whether I am using FireFox on MAC or Windows my new posted home page is not showing up when I access the domain.
The home page in question is only a jpeg image labeled index.html in the prime directory. The jpeg or "home page" is accessible and is coming up correctly in IE. I am checking it on a desktop MAC and a Windows 7 laptop. Again the home page is only one file.

hello, to me the site appears to be down no matter what browser i use (maybe it is still present in your IE's cache & that's why it's showing). please contact the support of your website's hoster to find out what's going on...

I had a folder that was a part of firefox in the book marks are called Recently Bookmarked. It has now disappeared and i would like to know how to get it back?

This folder was not one I created, but it appeared to be a part of the bookmark area. It save all recently saved book marks and was called "Recently Bookmarked". I used this feature last night and this morning when I went to use fire fox, it is gone.
I tried restarting Firefox and it still has not fixed the problem. My question is, How do I get this feature back or how do I create a folder where everything I book mark goes into the folder until I can sort the book marks into the proper folders? thank you for your help

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Restore+the+default+Smart+Bookmarks+Folders
* "Recently Bookmarked" is a so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmark]] that shows the result of a place query in a list.
* "Most Visited" and "Recently Bookmarked" and "Recent Tags" are examples of so called [[Smart Bookmarks folders|Smart Bookmarks folders]] and are not real existing folders.
* Smart folders show a list created by a query of the places.sqlite database that stores bookmarks and history in Firefox.
* Smart folder lists show a maximum of 10 entries by default.
* Bookmarks and history items that show up in a smart folder list are stored elsewhere in another folder and any changes made are applied to the real bookmark or history item.

I have Firefox 3.6.13 Since the most recent update from Firefox I lost all my book marks and have not been able to place any pages in the book marks. I also do not seem to keep any History. Help!

I also notice when using a search from the tab on the far right say where Google is that I does not begin a search. When I use a secure email program the normal new window or tab that would open to type the message opens but remains blank. and will not load.
The server we are connected to crashed soon after I down loaded the new update for Mozilla Firefox. It has been replaced with a new one but I still have the above problems. I prefer to use only Firefox and would apreciate being to utilize the program as I did before. I am not happy with the problem with the new update. Or at least that is how it seems to me.

# Quit Firefox.
# Create a backup copy of your profile folder in a safe location.
#* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
# Uninstall Firefox and delete your Firefox profile folder as well (NOT the backup copy you created earlier).
#* [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer]]
# From the following page download and install Firefox 16, which is the last version that runs on Mac OS X 10.5.
#* [[Firefox no longer works with Mac OS X 10.5]]
# Import your bookmarks from the automated backups found in the backup copy of your profile folder. They're in the /bookmarkbackups subfolder.

How do I eliminate websites displayed in the box on my home page?

There's a rectangular box on the home page below the search box. It has three websites displayed in it . It could be as a result of my visiting certain websites, not sure. I'd like to empty that box. What is the procedure for doing that?

I don't know what ''you're'' talking about without seeing a picture. The default Firefox 4+ homepage of '''about:home''' doesn't display 3 "websites" in the box below the searchcontainer, unless someone has hacked your local storage - that's why I was asking to see a screenshot.

Firefox only loads book-marked websites. no websites load from firefox default home page searh or address bar inputs. HELP
