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]].

  • Will not open up with the home page I have specifed on navigator toolbar I have gone through all the settings but it reverts to another home page when I restart the PC

    I want my page to open up with google which it has until lately when I downloaded jzip and since then it always opens up with http://search.jzip.com/ instead of http://www.google.com.au/ When it comes up with jzip I change it to google and request it to be my home page and it stays that way till I restart the pc and it reverts back to izip and I have to go through the same process to change back to google, it never used to do this at times when I have down loaded information it has changed but I have always been able to revert to the correct home page and it stay that way but not any more.
    The jzip is in the navigator toolbar section as are other websites but this is the only one that keeps being used as the home page hope you can find a solution as it is very annoying.

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>jzip</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>jzip</i> related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.

  • When i watch a movie trailer from the home page, it continually restarts.  How come?

    I Noticed that when watching the movie trailers from the apple home page, the vide will start and go a random amount of time and then restart.  This happens over and over.  Can anyone help?

    I'm probably not describing these terms correctly but here goes.  The progress bar starts and you can see the downloaded portion ahead of the actual time bar.  I don't even hit start and once the downloaded section gets out far enough, the movie starts by itself.  In the past if the actual time bar caught up with the downloaded portion it would just freeze until more had downloaded.  Now I guess what's happening is if it gets too close, it just restarts?  I tried what you said and paused the trailer until the whole trailer downloaded.  When I did that, the trailer played through without restarting.  Is there a setting to adjust this or am I just a victim of slow DSL?

  • Where has my ringtone tab on my itunes home page disappeared too?

    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

  • Tabs from Last Session Rather than Home Page Showing Upon Start

    Using FF 4.0.1 and even tho I have (and have '''''ALWAYS'''''had) "Show my Home Page Only on Startup" selected and '''''NOT''''' "Show Windows & Tabs fr. Last Time" selected, the window(s) and tab(s) from my last session have suddenly (starting yesterday) showing up every time I start up FF. (And I didn't upgrade to 4.0.1 yesterday; did that a couple wks ago. )

    You're welcome.
    Using File > Exit usually works better because you close all open windows at once.

  • Pinned/saved websites in the "new tab page" disappear when restarting PC

    I'm having some problems with the new tab page. I pinned 9 websites that I use on a regular basis but this morning when I went online again, the pinned websites weren't on that page any more, instead, random websites.
    How do I save them ?

    Hi,
    Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites this] for the optimal configuration of the new tab page. If you installed any new privacy '''Extensions''', or a Windows history/privacy cleaner application, you can also try to adjust its settings.

  • New toolbar always disappears upon restart of Firefox

    I add a new toolbar (right click on toolbars, then "customize"), give it a name, and put a few buttons on it.
    The new toolbar is visible and working, and can be seen for instance in the View/Toolbars pop-up menu.
    However when I exit firefox and start it again - after this, the new toolbar is gone. Even in View/Toolbars it is not listed anymore, i.e. it is not a problem of being unselected, but it is completely gone.

    You can Start Firefox using Different Profiles to see the changes among them.

  • 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.

  • No matter how I try to change it, the comcast sign-in page always comes up as my home page.

    Although I have repeatedly tried to change my home page, whenever Firefox restarts it always reverts to the Comcast sign-in page and never remembers my opened tabs.
    Also, when I click on "Start Private Browsing", nothing happens.
    I've tried starting in Firefox safe mode, disabled all my addons, but still Firefox restarts with the Comcast sign-in home page and no tabs from the previous session.

    I found this after nothing else worked, followed the steps and deleted the user.js and it worked. Apparently when you add Comcast/Xfinity services and are forced to download their pack, they place a script in there that hijacks your home page. I had this problem, and installed xfinity toolbar which I said no to, and it hijacked my search as well.
    Anyone know if that's legal? Seems like the textbook definition of malware. Here's the article from some guys blog, Ryan Parman. Instructions are simple enough for anyone to follow. Here's the link, this worked for me:

  • Insufficient Privilegies. "Access Home Page"

    Hi,
    We have currently an issue with BI. Users can logon using the Single Sign On page to Oracle E-Business Suite.
    Then they logon using a responsibility link to BI. After 30min to 1H, the user is timing out and can't logon again.
    The user is receiving the error:
    Insufficient Privilegies. "Access Home Page"
    If we restart the server, all the users can logon again normally without any issue and it could stay like that for hours.
    This is really an inconsistent issue as it's happening randomly. In EM, I can see some message like:
    User XXXXX logged in
    User XXXXX logged out
    The GUID for user XXXXX has changed. This could result in a catalog access issues. Please Update GUIDs and try again.
    Insufficient Privilegies. "Access Home Page"
    We already refreshed the GUID. Restarted the server. Not sure how to solve this random issue.

    >E-Business Suite Expire is set to 30 minutes
    If it is related to idle time! I guess you are good.
    Btw: how about ConnectionExpireMinutes?

  • My home page won't set...

    When I try to set my home page in preferences it sets, but it reverts back to my old home page when I restart. For some reason, the new home page won't save. Any clues?

    Hi Fototrip,
    You are so welcome, I am sorry I've not been much help with your home page
    issue.
    Did you do a restart of your computer after restoring the settings to default?
    It seems once home-page problems start they have been very persistent.
    A few of the many threads regarding the home/desired page not sticking.
    On Safari's task/ menu bar, under "View" are all those items active/bold any grayed out?

    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3735166
    Do you do any maintenance or clean internet clutter? empty/trash your Safari cache lately & or other files?
    Quit Safari first, [did you make sure to quit safari before moving the com.apple.Safari.plist file, last time you moved it to the trash?
    Try moving these files & folders to the trash bin,
    after a reboot of your machine you can [if this does not help] replace the files you want, to restore/overwrite the newly created files.
    Home~/Library/Caches/Safari cache folder
    Home~/Library/Cookies/cookie.plist
    Home~/Library/ Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist.& com.apple.Sherlock.plist
    Restart your mac.
    Launch Safari, Safari, preferences->Security tab, see that the home page you want has no cookies stored there, close the preferences window.
    Navigate to the home page you want.
    Open Safari's prefs. again in General tab
    New window opens with:
    Home page: showing your <URL> click set to "Current Page" change to the other tabs, go back to the General tab., close the pref. window.
    Navigate about, click on the Home icon in your Safari toolbar, does it go
    to the homepage?
    Yes, I am in Mass. right by BC/Newton; ) I hope you are enjoying Seattle, it must be a beautiful coastal city.
    Let me know if this helps any, I hope so.

  • FF4 will not open home page -- say try again. I cannot get home page to come up and therefore cannot even get startedno

    FF4 has been working just fine but recently stopped loading loading home page (igoogle) upon startup -- says could not load page try again -- try again returns same response and as a result I cannot go anywhere and am dead in the eater. IE work just fine but I prefer FF4. OS is XP

    To do this your device should be firstly connected to computer and iTunes is open. Put your device into dfu mode: 1.turn off your device 2.press and hold power and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds and release power and keep holding home until iTunes says a device in recovery mode. now should be able to restore.

  • Create home page with several tabs upon opening Safari

    I would like to create a home page with several tabs upon opening Safari is this possible?

    Yes, it's possible.
    First create a folder of bookmarks containing the pages you want to have appear as tabs when you start Safari.
    Once you've got that bookmarks folder set up, go into your General Safari preferences. At "New windows open with:" select "Choose tabs folder ..." as per the following screenshot:
    .... and select the bookmarks folder you set up before.
    Quit and restart Safari. Do the contents of the bookmarks folder open in tabs in a new window?
    (To change what tabs you have opening in a new window, just change the content of the bookmarks folder you've selected in your preferences.)
