Home page disappears on Mac

When i open a page on Mozilla and i select a link or topic the screen will disappear and go back to the desktop.
I have a RoboForm taskbar and all the wording on that will still remain visible when the page disappears.
Mac OS 10.7.5

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
#Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

    When I go onto my itunes home page, the tab which enabled me to select ringtones has gone!  I have not deleted it.  It has just disappeared.  Any suggestions?

    It might be an idea to unplug your vision box have a coffee and plug it back in afterwards.

  • Downloaded Firefox 4 and my home page disappeared

    I downloaded Firefox 4 today and could not get back to my home page at all. Fortunately, I had loaded google chrome, and went in there and copied and pasted into firefox and my home page came back. Not sure what happened.. I have Windows 7-64 bit. I was afraid I would have to restore to an earlier point to get everything back. I have igoogle settings on my computer.
    If I did something wrong, please let me know.
    thanks, Dorothy Silliman

    Same problem here. Running Roboform 6.10 does not work with 4.0. Either get Roboform 7 or fallback to Firefox 3.x

  • Home page disappears upon restart

    I have a problem with fire fox changing my home page every time I shut my pc down and start it up. my home page is reset to yahoo. I know yahoo is not supported by firefox so I keep changing it to a forum that I use. but every time I log on to my pc the home page has been switched back (to myyahoo)and I get the message that yahoo is in violation of the terms blah blah blah. I don't want yahoo as my home page.
    Also I always have to log in everywhere I go even after I have checked the " keep me logged in box. never fails I always have to type everything back in. are these win7 problems because none of this was happening on my vista laptop?

    Yahoo is supported by Firefox, it functions and displays correctly.
    "that yahoo is in violation of the terms blah blah blah" -- could you please paste the full text here?
    Does the homepage save if you just restart Firefox itself, not the whole system?
    See [[Preferences are not saved]].

  • How do you put google as your home page on a mac

    ?

    Hi Sean,
    I suppose you are using Safari as a web browser. Go to Preferences in the Safari menu. In the window that comes up, select General (the leftmost icon).
    Hope that helps

  • Using Windows 7 and Firefox 10.0.2, at random times all home page images "disappear" when switching between web sites. Page layout on some web sites is lost. Requires removing and downloading Firefox to restore. Any ideas?

    I have recently (6 months ago) purchased and use an HP Pavilion desktop with Windows 7. At times, when especially active (several windows open) and switching between windows or using links to connect with another web page, all the images on the home home page "disappear", that is to say there is space, but no image, as if the page did not load correctly. When this happens, pages other than the home page also do not display images.
    Same pages display correctly in Explorer whenever this happens.

  • My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I start Safari.  I also get new tabs that randomly open asking to clean up my Apple

    My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I open Safari.  I am also getting random tabs opening with various "cleaning up" my computer junk.
    How do I get rid of this?  I tried some of the fixes listed but they don't seem to work or I am doing something wrong.

    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

  • My Firefox 8 for Mac no longer will launch properly. It opens, and immediately hangs before loading the home page and connecting to any website. Does anyone have any ideas about how to correct this? Thanks!

    All I get is a blank home page, along with a spinning beach ball. I cannot open the preferences to try to clear the cache, and must force quit to get out of Firefox. I have tried clearing the cache from the Library, and trashed the preferences file. I uninstalled the application, and reinstalled a newly downloaded application. I have restarted the computer many times, and run the disk utility to repair permissions. Nothing has worked. I have not added or upgraded anything on my computer since Firefox was working just a few days ago. Safari works fine connecting to the web. I have read through most of the support documents at Firefox Help, but cannot find anything that addresses this specific problem of hanging immediately after launch.

    I have the exact same problem--and it just started around November 11, 2011. I have rebooted, reinstalled, and relaunched many times and Firefox just hangs on launch. Spinning beach ball of death and all that.
    I have not installed any new software or changed anything on my computer.

    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.

    Turned on Mac mini and cannot get rid of the word definition page and get to my home page. What is the problem?

  • The quick link button to my email account has disappeared from my Firefox home page. How can I get it back again ?

    When I used to click onto the Internet Firefox icon to get onto my home page, the top of the screen gave me a click on-link direct to my hotmail email a/c. For some reason that has disappeared. I can still do it via the Internet Explorer icon, but the settings are different, and the system does not accept text as readily as it did when using the Firefox. Could someone please tell me how to (in words a techno phobe can understand and follow) insert this link back onto the Firefox home page. Many thanks...

    Perhaps the button was on your Bookmarks Toolbar. Can you make sure that bar is displayed? You can turn toolbars on and off using any of these methods to display a toolbar list:
    * right-click a blank area of the tab bar, or the "+" button on the tab bar
    * "3-bar" menu button > Customize > Show/Hide Toolbars
    * tap the Alt key to activate the classic menu bar temporarily, then View > Toolbars
    Does that help?
    Also, you can access your Hotmail account using http://hotmail.com/ and Microsoft will redirect you to the secure login page.

  • I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window

    Question
    I was on an online course website, logged in and working on an assignment. Suddenly the page disappeared and was not on the tabs either. I went to the home page and tried to log back in and it said I was already logged in on another browser window and if I proceeded to log in again the assignment I was working on would be ended and I would receive a zero. I can't locate the browser window that I was signed in on. Help...I don't want to get a zero, but don't know how to get back into the website under my original log in & get back to my half completed assignment.

    Hi,
    Please try this: In Firefox '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') and check if it is listed in either '''Recently Closed Tabs''' or '''Recently Closed Windows''' or in the list below. If you cannot find it click '''Show All History''', on the left of the window click '''Today''' below '''History''' and on the right look for the site entry corresponding closely to the time when you lost it. If you cannot see the column heading named '''Visit Date''', you may have to enable it by right-clicking on the column header strip.
    Also please note that the online course site may have redirected you to another site for the test, so it is also a good idea to look into site entries that may match the time.
