Home page button not working, how to fix it?

In my Firefox 4, the home button does not take me to the home page. However, it opens a blank page saying browser.startup.homepage=about:home and the address "chrome://branding/locale/browserconfig.properties" appears in the url bar.
I tried fixing it by clicking restore to default and it still doesn't work.
Any help appreciated.

One of the other sites may be more likely to give you an answer, or even the addons own site. I note the developer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-king/?src=api asks for contributions, so I would have hoped the add-on would work without compromising any of Firefox's features.
Digressing from your topic I note Firefox 5.0a2 from add-ons manager now no longer displays the navigation bar when displaying info about a searched for add-on.
It may be worth asking on

  • Home page button not working right on my iPad 2

    Does anyone has problems with the home page button?

    Hi everyone,
    I also had the same problem like less than a month after I purchased my iPad 2. I used to think that it was due to the iOS update to 4.3.x, as I got mine out of the box with the version prior to that, and didn't have problems before I updated.
    However, it could also be that the home button pad had accummulated oil/dirt from our thumbs, which get in the way of it working properly.
    Here's what I did:
    1. Turned off my iPad2.
    2. Wet my thumb with alcohol (not too wet, say a drop or two), and pressed down on the home button and rubbed the alcohol in in a circular motion. The idea is to let the alcohol break down the oil and dirt.
    3. Wiped the home button thoroughly with a clean cloth (i dont recommend tissue or cotton as it might leave residue that could again 'clog' the inside perimeter of the home button.
    Before I did that, my home button was responding in around 1 click out of 20-30 tries. After cleaning, the home button now responds in 9 out of 10 presses.
    Let us know if you try and find that this works for you as well.

  • TS3018 my iphone4 bluetooth not working how i fix it

    hello ! my iphone4 bluetooth not working how to fix it ...thanks

    Apple does NOT accept phones sent in from another country.
    You will either need to take the phone back to the UK yourself, or mail it to someone you know there to have him or her bring it in to Apple for you.

  • Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

    I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
    Regards.

  • New tab button not working how do i fix it

    I found today that my "open new tab" button was not working, so i exited out of firefox and it downloaded a new update, even after that it still did not work so i tried restarting the computer and it still doesnt work

    The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Web Services on Server 4 - Home page links not working

    We have recently upgraded our server to Server 4.
    We use the "Home Page" of the default web server as a starting point for access to web enabled services on the server - so Wiki, web version of Calendar, User Password setting etc.
    Back in Server 2 this page came preconfigured with a grid of icons you could click on to get to these services. 
    I'm not sure what you get in Server 3 or Server 4, but our start page has remained the same ever since.  However since the upgrade, we've noticed the behaviour of the buttons on the screen has changed - so now when you click on (say) the Wiki button, all that happens is the page reloads - you no longer go to the Wiki.
    If you click on the drop-down menu under the button in top left of the window and choose the same option from there, the wiki (or whatever) opens OK.
    I'd like to fix the function of the buttons on the home page - but the option to edit this page is severely constrained by the Wiki system itself: Apple use some kind of Javascript call linked to the default buttons to open the service, but you can't edit this via the wiki editor.  As the page itself is a database entry in the database driving the Wiki, you can't go and edit the source HTML for the page either.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?  Or maybe how to force the Wiki system to revert to the Server4 equivalent of the 'default' home page?  I'm wondering if somewhere between Server 2 and Server 4 the javascript libraries loaded by Wiki have changed and so the buttons no longer function due to missing libraries or something.
    Anyhow - any help with this would be most welcome.  Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jeff. You've got a GoToLink action on the home page that's pointing to a page with this name:
    Elaine's Blog Page.html
    The spaces aren't really valid (or at least ideal) for a file name, but what's really causing the problems is the apostrophe. It's causing a JavaScript error on the page, which prevents any of the actions from working. To fix it, you'd need to either remove the apostrophe from the page's name (and make sure to re-link it in the Actions palette), or escape the apostrophe with a backslash in the Actions palette like:
    Elaine\'s Blog Page.html

    Battery does not appear to charge
    Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire-based power source.
    Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
    If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
    Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
    Try another USB port.
    Try charging from a USB charger if available.
    If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.
    Learn more about charging the battery.
    The Home button isn't working
    Put the iPod Touch to sleep.
    Wait a couple of seconds.
    Press the Home button.
    iPod Touch should wake up.
    If iPod Touch does not wake up, then iPod Touch should be serviced.

  • Safari on iPad2, iOS 4.3.5, "new page" button not working...

    Hi!
    Got an iPad2 a couple of weeks ago, it was working fine. I updated to iOS 4.3.5 as requested, and since then the "new page" (square) button in Safari is not working. I can open a link in Mail, or even hold-click on a link in a web page and I get the "switching pages" animation (and see the other pages) but even though the number in the square increases (indicating the number of open pages) I can't "click" on it to switch pages...
    The rest of the toolbar buttons (back, front, bookmarks, "share") work fine but this makes using Safari quite a PITA... so much so that I'd rather copy a link and manually open it in Opera.. A pity that Opera can't be set as the default browser!!
    Any hints? I've tried deleting all Safari caches via settings (which resets the counter, obviously as it deletes the previous pages), switching off the iPad, Home+standby button for long time until it resets...
    Thanks a lot!!!

    No confusion. I hate that you cannot edit a post with the iPad but that a different discussion ....
    If you didn't see any databases in the Safari settings - then you don't have any. Those are created when you visit certain sites - for instance the Apple iPad User Guide that is available as a Safari bookmark. If you open that user guide, it puts a database in Safari and I assume its like a very specific cache kind of thing. Youcann delete them with no problem because the database will return when you visit the site again.
    The only other suggestions that I can make would be to toggle settings on and off in Safari, like hide the toolbar, turn it back on, turn off auto fill, turn it back on. No idea if that would do any good at all - and it probably won't - but I'm out of rational ideas now! :)
    I think you said that you tried this but this would be my last gasp effort unless some other user has any ideas - reset the iPad- hold the sleep and home buttons down together until the Apple logo appears- IGNORE the red slider - once the Apple logo appears you can let go of the buttons and let the iPad boot up. It can take a couple of minutes.

  • How can I get Firefox to go directly to home page and not to how to syn page as I do not want to syn anything

    whenever I now go to mozilla firefox, it opens the whats new, or how to syn ? I don't have anything to sync, just want to go to the Home page I selected

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

  • All targets status on home page is not working

    The all targets status on the home page shows Down, Unknown, and Up options. I can't drill down on the Up targets but I can on the Down and Unknow targets. This functionality was working yesterday. We did have one incident on the managed targets where we accidentally removed the cluster listener but I don't think this could have any effect on the OMS. We quickly created a new listener anyway. In any case, I stopped and restarted the management agents, and also bounce the OMS by issuing an opmnctl stopall, but I still have the problem.
    Has anybody come across this issue?

    This is because target.xml has not been updated with same change,
    Please reflect the same change in targets.xml ,bounce the agent and let us know the result.
