Firefox Opens the Last Page I Viewed Instead of My Home Page
I have tried more than one solution found in your forums. Nothing has worked so far. I've put text from the solutions I've tried in the Troubleshooting Information box below.
I have had this problem a few times and came across a solution that worked for me these are the steps i tried before it worked.
I'm using FireFox 4.
1. Go to Tools then options.
2. I went to general and tried Restoring to Default that didnt work so then Cleared the History and that still didnt work.
3. I then went to Pivacy and under History select FireFox will: Never Remember History.
4. Close browser and it went back to my Home Page. I then went back to Tools, Options, Privacy and set FireFox back to FireFox will: Remeber History again and it worked.
Hope this helps :)

Firefox opens the last session automatically instead of opeming the homepage
The firefox is opening the last session(the tab/s i had open before i closed firefox) when i open a new window. pls reply fast!! and this is the second time i'm typing this stupid question becoz i pressed backspace and the page went back!!! D:
Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that that there are no longer Firefox or plugin-container processes left on the Processes tab in the Task Manager. Otherwise session restore will reopen the page(s) from the previous session.

When I open the new Firefox 5, I get a blank tab instead of my home page?
I am able to click on the home page button and my home page opens, but I used to be able to open Firefox and my home page was there. I don't understand what I need to do.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox reloads the last website upon launch instead of my homepage
I have a suspicious pop-up on a certain URL. I closed the broswer with Ctrl+Alt+Del. Firefox keeps reloading this site upon launch. I would like the option to reload the last site, say on a crash, or goto my home page like IE does.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== This is default Firefox behaviour ==

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0)Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to '''0''' on the '''about:config''' page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.

I have two tabs, each one set to a homepage. when I am browsing on one of the tabs, and want to go back to the homepage on that tab. when I hit the homepage icon, the home page opens on this tab, and the other homepage opens in a new tab, een though it's one on the first tab already. In IE, there's a drop down box which allows you to select a home page to open. is that available?
thanksYou can create two separate bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar if you want to open those pages individually.

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.

Firefox always opens the last website(s) that were open instead of my home page. When I close the browser it no longer asks me if I want to close all tabs if I have more than one open. It just closes and then opens them all when I launch the browser again.
I can find no setting to change this behavior.You might need to change your Start Page setting here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > General tab
"When Firefox starts" => ''Show my home page''
If that doesn't work, please post back. -
Firefox doesn`t open the last visited page and tabs but the home page
my settings are: open the page i last visit and the last opend tabs but instead it only opens the homepage, tried to change the settings but without effect
Did you check the startup setting?

Can you restore that session via History > Restore Previous Session?

Why do applications always open the last document or page viewed?
I love my Mac. But since I got my new iMac and OS Lion, I've had a hard time with one option and I can't figure out how to turn it off.
When I open Excel, it opens the last document viewed. Even when I click on a new document, it still opens the last document. When I open Safari, it takes me to the last page viewed. Its very annoying, probably useful to someone other then me. How do I turn this feature off?
Thanks
JimThat is part of Resume, a feature that re-opens the documents that were open when you quit.
You can turn it off system-wide in the General System Preferences.
On a per-app basis, you can only use the cmd-option-q shortcut or menu to close all windows and quit. -
I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?
You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar. -
When I start Safari 5.1 in Lion, it always opens the last page opened. Is there a way to start on the homepage?
That sounds great, but on my system, that box is not at the bottom of my Pref/General page, but is when I log out and put it to sleep. What is really annoying is that I have to do this every time, instead of unchecking it and it being permanent. Yes, I have Safari 5.1 and Lion. I would like to permanently disable this as I too, think it is absurd and not a great idea when banking, paying bills, etc.

Every time I bring up my browser since I installed the newest version on Firefox it keeps re opening the last page or pages visited. How do I change the settings so this does not continue?
Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" or "Show a blank page"
If that setting is OK then make sure that Firefox closes properly.

When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?
Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?
That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Each time I open Safari it opens the last web page I was at rather than my home page. How do I stop this from happening?
This is part of Lion's Resume feature (I assume you are on Lion).
A couple of things you can do: System Preferences>General and deselect 'Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps'.
Also when you shutdown or restart make sure the following is unticked:
