I wasn't suggesting that this was a feature. It is related to usability, and the usability is hindered by these distracting animations. When software doesn't behave as expected, I can say confidently as a web developer with 10+ years of experience, you have a bug. I'm sorry if the creators of these annoying animations are offended, but I'm sure there are better ways to direct their efforts.
Also, the feature feedback form is not public, so there is less transparency. This forum is public, so it is one way for users to get their voices heard, especially when "features" that we don't want are thrust on us without our consent. Isn't that just becoming the "American" corporate mentality towards consumers today?
I mean, come on, who wants this junk on their start page besides the developers who created it? Did anyone out here ask for it? Who wrote in and said, "Dear Mozilla, I switched to Firefox Start to get away from Google's annoying animated doodles. Now, I changed my mind! I want them back, but I'm too lazy to switch my homepage back, so can you please slow down my CPU and distract my mind for me when I begin my web search by copying Google and adding those annoying things to Firefox Start?"
Just like GMO foods, binding arbitration, and surveillance are "features" that Americans have just been begging for.
Sheesh.

Mozilla-firefox start home pages on tabs

just wanting to find how this is done?
thx

that's right. just put a pipe between each url. it'll open each in a different tab.
here's a tip: make the first tab point to about:blank, to have all your fav sites open in the background in case you want to go somewhere else right when you open the browser.

Why does Firefox Support Home Page open automatically as my second tab, to right of home page, when I start Firefox, and how do I stop this?

I have newly installed Firefox 4 on my computer as part of re-installing my OS. Firefox now opens with 2 tabs: my specified home tab and, to its right, a Firefox Support Home Page tab. I suppose I did something to cause this, but how can I undo it?

Reset your homepage and make sure that only one tab is open when you set your homepage.

hello sjorma, i think this site is no longer maintained - the new default homepage in firefox is about:home.

How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page.

How do I add or delete a quick link from Firefox's home page. I don't use most of the links and would like to add other quick links.

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different slot to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL. 
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a slot on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page (Bug 791447).

How do I turn off the auto suggestions from Goggle on Firefox's home page

How do I turn off the auto suggestion on Firefox/Google home page? I cannot stand that feature of Google. If I can't be done, I will go back to Firefox 3.x. When I was using Firefox's home search page (Powered by Goggle), it did not auto suggest.

did you check the suggestions mentioned in the article i posted in my previous post ??

Firefox start up page overrides any other changes I try to make.

I have done this several times over the last two-three days and keep coming back to the Firefox start up page, like it is reinstalling itself each time. I lose all changes, options and have tried to get it to work. I have done it all, cleared this and that and ran anti-spy ware....even rebooting to no avail.

How do I get my computer to start home page with firefox

Somehow I cannot start my homepage with firefox.I had been able to start and firefox would be there. Now I have to hit run on mozilla icon to bring up.How do I get back to being able to have firefox come up as my home page?

Colson-I'm confused. I am trying to get back to where I was before I had problems. I had att.net as homepage and was using firefox. Before,all I did was click start and enter my password and my homepage of att.net would appear. Now,I sign in with password and have to click on mozilla icon and start connection that way. Any suggestions?

I have tried replacing the Firefox start-up page with my own home page choice many times and it will not set--I get the circle with the slash through it when I try to drag the webpage icon to "home."

I am using Windows 7 Professional, and have tried all of the recommended troubleshooting tips for this problem. I do not have the new version of Firefox installed because it had all kinds of problems so I went back to the version I had--I believe it was 3.6.24. Since then, I have not been able to set a home page. Any help out there? Thank You!

Try to drag the tab or the website's favicon on the Home button if you currently drag selected text.
If it doesn't work with dragging the icon then copy the URL to the clipboard and paste it via the Options window in the home page field.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

The Firefox about:home page always shows "Restore Previous Session" and opens random things even after a clean exit.

I don't like anything opening automatically when I start Firefox, so before Firefox 4 I set Firefox to open a blank page when it starts. I still had set a page I visit frequently as my home page, so I could get to that page quickly by pressing the home button. If I needed to close Firefox it was nice and easy to have the option to save my session and close (I've already searched and read another post and answer on how to restore this feature in about:config). I understand that Firefox 4 always saves your session and you can restore it from the history menu, but then I would have to remember if I had anything open and click menu/History/Restore Previous Session.
Now in Firefox 4 I have left the home page set to about:home so if I had tabs open when I closed it I would see the Restore Previous Session "button" the next time I start it. However, when I close all windows and tabs before exiting Firefox, the Restore Previous Session "button" will be sometimes be there. If I click it, it will open a random tab or window that I visited the previous day, which was NOT the last tab/window that I had open.
If I do have tabs open when I close it, it does correctly re-open them when using the Restore Previous Session button, it only does this if I do a clean exit (close all tabs/windows before close).
I tried deleting the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files from my Firefox appdata directory (there were no other sessionstore.* files). This is a clean install of Firefox 4, I didn't install on top of Firefox 3.6.xx. I uninstalled Firefox 3.6.xx before installing and made sure to delete any leftover files in my appdata, programdata and program files directories.

I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

How do I restore Firefox/Google home page without Yahoo?

In an attempt to delete Yahoo, my Home Page which features Google changed entirely and still shows Yahoo with all its add ons. Also now when closing a link page Mozilla shuts down and I have to start all over again.
How can I restore what I had and totally delete Yahoo ?

hello Vidabg, you can't restore this old homepage. it wasn't maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time the search contract between google and mozilla was in place, which is now no longer the case. the new default homepage that firefox uses now is '''about:home'''.

I am trying to set Firefox as home page-browser. Please advise?

Words in the "Question" window above pretty much say it all; earlier this afternoon 10/10/2014 a really odd thing occurred I cannot explain clearly but it caused me to try to set Firefox browser (search engine) as home page...possibly I should have typed "Mozilla," but I do not quite know...
Detail: I should likely say that I am using W8.1 which I hate but am trying to learn.
Could someone please tell me how to go about setting FM or is it just "M?" Every article supposedly explaining the process starts out with "Open Mozilla," and truly I do not know how one does that in this new OS.
Someone tried to tell me that FM or is it just plain M is NOT a search engine browser thing. Hoping that person was wrong!
Please advise? TIA,
Omnigusted.

Firefox 8: home page won't display, cannot enable tabs at all on 64-bit win7, even running safe mode with all add-ons disabled

(Firefox 8) cannot display home page without explicitly typing into address bar (not at start-up and home button doesn't work either). Also, cannot see tabs at all (enabled or disabled).
Any suggestions?????

I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

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.

 While you are in safe mode;

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