Firefox "Welcome" tab loads every time since Version 10 upgrade. How do you stop it from loading?

Ever since I upgraded to Version 10 the Firefox "Welcome" tab loads when I open Firefox along with my home page.

Check to make sure you didnt set the "Welcome" tab as a homepage.
*[http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the Homepage]
Select Default as the Homepage, restart Firefox as see if the "Welcome" tab loads still.
Also note, Firefox changes a setting in its preferences file to determine whether you've seen the "Firefox Updated" tab. If you are having problems with that file then Firefox will be unable to save this information and will show you the "Firefox Updated" tab each time you start it.
*To correct this, use the steps outlined in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved Preferences are not saved] article.

  • On Game Center how do you stop players from seeing the last time you have played a game?

    on Game Center how do you stop players from seeing the last time you have played a game? Or the last time you signed in.

    hello, this should be addressed in a later version of firefox. as a workaround in the meanwhile you could try this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • How do you stop videos from interrupting every second or so during playback (since upgrading to iOS7)?

    I've just upgraded and now every time I try to play a video it stops every couple of seconds.  It worked perfectly before installing this loathesome upgrade. I have plenty of surplus memory so this isn't an issue.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Opening a new tab opens my history on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    when opening a new tab in safari, it automatically opens my history in a column on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    IF you change the view of the left column to "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" this is what will be shown rather than "History".
    There is no way to prevent this column from being shown but it can be dismissed by touching the "Book" icon at the top-left of the screen.

  • How do you stop iPhoto from loading every time you dock the iPhone?

    I would like to NOT have iPhoto start up every time I plug in my iPhone. I am sure there must be an easy way to do this. Thanks!

    There are two different topics in this thread, and two separate "sync photo" issues with iPhone.
    1) Syncing photos to iPhone, similar to the process if you had an iPod. This is handled as mentioned above, from within iTunes.
    2) Syncing photos from iPhone, as with any camera. This is handled from within iPhoto, also as mentioned above.
    I just wanted to point out that these are two independent processes, able to be modified separately.
    If you have cleared out the iPhone and/or not taken any more pictures, it will not cause iPhoto to pop up.

  • After every Firefox upgrade I am unable to use it. I have to uninstall it then reinstall Firefox. This happens every time there's an upgrade.

    Firefox alerts everytime there's an upgrade available. I decline the upgrade because of crashes. Then Firefox automatically upgrades. When that happens I can no longer access the internet. I have to uninstall Firefox then go online via IE and reinstall Firefox. Once it it reinstalled it works fine. So my question is - why does an upgrade cause Firefox to stop working and how can I avoid that in the future?

    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Latest version of firefox keeps opening new tabs when I don't want it to - how can I stop it from doing that?

    I'm running 8.01. Another PC next to me is at 8.0, and it doesn't do that.

    "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"

    If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file ''cookies.sqlite'' that stores the cookies is corrupted.
    You can rename (or delete) '''cookies.sqlite''' (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete '''cookies.sqlite-journal''' and '''cookies.txt''', if they exist, in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] in case cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

  • Firefox takes 4 minutes to start since the recent upgrade. Can you help?

    Since Firefox was upgraded to the latest version about 5 days ago, it has become extremely slow to start. It is taking just about 4 minutes. As soon as I experienced this problem, I removed it completely from my computer. I subsequently reinstalled it but this did not improve matters in any way. I have applied your suggested fixes for this problem but have not had any success. My operating system is Windows 7 Pro, and my computer is an Acer Laptop (model Aspire 7535).
    sincerely,
    Charles D. Cross

  • Why is my macbook pro 13in heating up every time i play Grid? How can i stop it?

    Grid is a race game that you can buy off of the app store and i bought it thinking my macbook would not act the way it did.
    The game downloads and i start to play it. After about 2 minuets, the fans kick on and get incredibly loud as the macbook starts to heat up. Whenever i play it, i make sure that all the other applications are closed and that the quality is at the very lowest that it can be at. Still does the same thing.
    My mac is less then a year old so I'm guessing its not because of the age.
    Why is this happening and is there a way i can get it to stop the computer from overheating to the point that the fans get so loud?
    thanks everybody.

    There can be any number of reasons, one of which is the game over-taxes the CPU and GPU. Another is that the software is not working properly. Try the following to see what the CPU% is for the game. Contact the game's developer as well. Since this is apparently a software issue that should be your first place to look for assistance.
    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

  • How do you stop ITunes from syncing automatically every time I attach a device?

    I have the option box checked that is supposed to stop devices from syncing automatically, yet ITunes STILL insists on syncing the devices automatically and overwriting gigabytes of data.  I've had to spend hours finding everything again after ITunes has synced when I don't want it to.  Needless to say, this is INCREDIBLY frustrating.

    I no longer need an answer to this question. I didn't directly solve the problem but it solved when I was fixing something else.
