Home Page - Dumb Question

Is there a "home" icon somewhere that I am missing? Is the only way to return to your home page on Safari other than the keyboard strokes? In the help menu, it says to click home button on toolbar, but I can't seem to locate the button.
Thanks

Hi Derek,
Under Safari, View menu, click on Customize toolbar, from the drop down window drag the house like Icon to the address bar, the default addy bar does not include it.
Hope this helps answer your question.

11g Home page link questions

A couple of questions about the links on the OBIEE 11g Home page, in the Get Started section:
1. The Introduction to Oracle BI and Oracle BIEE Documentation links both go to the same place: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/index.htm. Is that the intended behavior? Two adjacent links that do the same thing?
2. Clicking the Help Contents ... Oracle BI Publisher link brings up a website login screen for http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/help/help.jsp. First of all, why would a help site be protected by a login screen? Second, what login can be used to gain access to this site? I've tried every login in my system, including the weblogic login, and it doesn't seem to like any of them.

Clarification and more information:
On the 11g Home page, under the Get Started... section, there is a Help Contents link. Clicking that link reveals three choices for online help, one of which is BI Publisher.
View ... Page Source reveals that the link for BI Publisher should go to: http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?xmlpObjectTasks&Action=help
However, clicking that BI Publisher link opens a new window that shows the URL http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/help/help.jsp. And THAT webpage is presenting me with a login screen for BI Publisher 11.1.1.3.0, a login screen that doesn't recognize any combination of userid / password that I know of.
Copying and pasting the URL http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?xmlpObjectTasks&Action=help into the browser displays that same login screen and ...help/help.jsp URL.
Copying and pasting just this much of the URL http://localhost:9704/analytics/saw.dll?xmlpObjectTasks produces a page with these four rows of text:
OBIPS11r+zOr4YIeuQ
{t:5}r+zOr4YIeuQ
<script type="text/javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/bipublisher/catalogactionhandler.js"></script>
<script>obips.bipublisher.setSessionInfo("/xmlpserver");</script>
So it appears that the xmlpObjectTasks is indeed requesting a login screen from BI Publisher.
Which brings me full-circle to my original questions:
1. Why should we have to log in to BI Publisher just to read its online help?
2. Having made every possible guess of anything reasonable, I have no more guesses, and I'm asking what this login screen is looking for in terms of userid/password?
and...
3. Is the Home page possibly just pointing to the wrong location?

My website is accessible via Internet Explorer but not Firefox? It is a simple jpeg image being used as a home page.

No matter whether I am using FireFox on MAC or Windows my new posted home page is not showing up when I access the domain.
The home page in question is only a jpeg image labeled index.html in the prime directory. The jpeg or "home page" is accessible and is coming up correctly in IE. I am checking it on a desktop MAC and a Windows 7 laptop. Again the home page is only one file.

hello, to me the site appears to be down no matter what browser i use (maybe it is still present in your IE's cache & that's why it's showing). please contact the support of your website's hoster to find out what's going on...

Might be a dumb question, but I am moving from 1st gen to iPadair; on Safari, 1st gen to delete apps/sites just visited, you could double tap home key and apps would appear on bottom and one could delete from there. How does it work on ipadair?

This may be a dumb question, but nonetheless, here goes:
I just moved from 1st gen ipad to new ipad-air. Great and happy! But, one thing I can't figure out how to do is to delete the pages/sites/apps that I have just used? For example, on the 1st gen. you could double-tap home button and past actions would come up on bottom of screen. I could then delete them one by one, to keep things cleaned up. Am I missing something here? Does it keep a log irregardless? Not the same as deleting history - at least didnt' work for me.

Close apps and not delete apps.
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

I did a dumb thing and clicked on "Start Private Browsing". Ever since then I have not been able to set my home page in Firefox. I have tried dozens of times and each time I close Firefox and re-open it - My homepage is BLANK.

This is so frustrating and this question/answer place is my last resort. How do I get my favorite home page back? Sure hope you can help me.

Home Page Question

Hi Guys,
Appreciate your help on what I assume is an easy solution and probably is a stupid question. There are items on the home page that I would like to delete or move from the 2nd page to the 1st (or vice versa). Can't figure out how to do that. Any advice is appreciated.

By holding any icon for a short while, all icons will appear to wobble, then they can be dragged about to be ordered in any way you wish. By dragging an icon to the edge of the screen the iPhone will allow the icon to be placed into the next home screen.

Browser Questions: Getting to home page and reordering bookmarks?

Have two quick questions about the Playbook Browser (which is awesome, by the way!)
1. How do you get back to your configured home page once you've been surfing around? I see no "Home" button anywhere. Is there a gesture or something that will take you home? I know you can open a fresh tab and go home (if you have it configured that way) but surely there is a way to just go to your home page?
2. How do you reorder the bookmarks in your list? Everyone always loads their most used ones first, and then gradually add other stuff as you think about it. This puts everyone's favorites down at the bottom. I've tried dragging them when in edit mode, but it doesn't seem to do anything..
Thanks!

new tab can show home page if you want it to in options.

Not at this time.

What '''''is''''' the web page that has taken over the homepage feature?

I guess this is a "settings" question. I have tried all of the fixes you suggest to get rid of the "Firefox Was Recently Updated" window popping up as my home page. Anything else to try.

My normal home page no longer comes up when I start browsing. Your introductory page comes up and stays up, along with asking me a question about allowing information gathering.

That probably won't help if you have other software running that is protecting the file(s) in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?<br />
Does it have any virtualization or sandbox features?
You can try to boot windows in Save mode (F8 on boot screen) to see if that makes it possible to remove the file.
You can also try a new profile to see if that works.<br />
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Browser opens to properly set home page. Tabs open to a different home page. what is the fix to get tabs to open to the home page I want.

I have firefox 24.0 in xp . for some time i have been using firefox with no problems. and i think i recently update to the current version. went my problem started I think was when I tried to download a video downloader. my home page was changed even tho I did a custom install. May home page was switched. after much trial and error I managed to get the home page I wanted when the browser first opens. but when I hit the tab button some home page opens that I dont recognise. and it does that for each addition tab that I open. it does this only when I open a tab. I have read several of the related questions here but there a waste of time because I am not a techie.
looked at the about:config thing but finding the right thing to even begin to look at was impossible. I dont recognise any of the thing in there and I dint understand how to search for the thing it said search for. this is the instructions I tried to follow:
Chosen solution
You can modify the browser.newtab.url pref and change the value to http://foxnews.com
Also make sure that the new tab page is enabled, the browser.newtabpage.enabled should be true.
Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key to open the about:config page, just like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
use the Search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate preferences more easily
preferences that have been modified and do not have the default value show as bold (user set)
preferences that are user set (bold) can be reset to the default value via the right-click context menu
preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean) or by double-clicking the line with the pref
preferences can be created via the right-click context menu: New -> String, Integer, Boolean
http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config.
what preference am I searching for? I tried searching for browser.newtab.url and came up blank. search for just browser came of with too many for me to make judgment on.
This was very confusing and i could not figure it out until the asker came back and said it worked and something else that I cant find now. i think the answers should be dumbed down to where non-techies can understand. my problem is solved

You can change this if you don't mind peeking under the covers into Firefox's about:config preferences editor.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste newtab and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.newtab.url preference and enter the desired value:
(i) Page thumbnails (default)
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
(ii) Blank tab
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
(iii) Built-in Firefox home page
browser.newtab.url = about:home
(iv) Any other page
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

Firefox insists on opening last page visited even though it's supposed to open on home page.

Bad job guys, this is dumb, I am disappointed.
I've followed instructions found in the following links with no luck:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/833603

I deleted sessionstore.js it worked once but the issue re-occured afterwards. I don't have the file user.js.

Make sure that Firefox closes properly to prevent Session Restore from reopening those tabs.
Use "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit) to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the Firefox title bar.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).
You can leave the sessionstore.bak file with the time stamp appended that Firefox creates automatically in case of updating.
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

AVG Secure Search appears when I use Google Search from my Home page only.

My home page is the Firefox default page with the Google searchbar. I like getting occasional messages from Firefox when I log in so I don't want to change my homepage. However, when I use the searchbar ''on my homepage only'', I get the unsatisfactory AVG Secure Search results.
UPDATE: I now realize all the troubleshooting information I included in my original question appears under the "More System Details" link next to the question, not in the body of the question. I have copied it here to make it easier to see what I have already done to try to solve the problem, as well as describe the one clue I have that may be relevant:
I have tried all the fixes on various threads, but my about:config is now pristine (no avg or isearch mentions; keyword.url is default). Closest solution is that at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/866327 , which requires changing my home page.
Oddly, AVG Secure Search is ''not'' a problem when I use the Google toolbar or search from the Google website, only when I use the search bar that appears on my home (start) page. This is true even when I return to my home page--if I search from the Google search bar in the middle of the page, I get sent to AVG Safe Search. (isearch.avg.com).
I read in one thread a suggestion to delete my chromeappsstore.sqlite file in my Profile folder. As promised, Firefox created a new one when I restarted it; however, the search bar in the middle of my home home page did not work at all. Tried this three times before restoring my original.
I do not have an application that will open a sqlite file, but I tried doing so in Excel and found a cell containing the following:
emoh.:moz-safe-aboutsearch-engine{"name":"AVG Secure Search","searchUrl":"http://isearch.avg.com/search?cid={7A3C25A0-E345-4507-AA31-D98F596A81A9}&mid=c48135235ba247d18ac1d14b344db451-addd29eab2809954d5abdf0b991a5b911a297819&ds=is015&lang=en&v=10.0.0.7&pr=sa&d=&sap=dsp&q=_searchTerms_"}
I have no clue what that means, but it is the only thing I can find related to Firefox that still mentions AVG and isearch.avg.com.
At this point my best guess (but it is a guess) is that the chromeappsstore.sqlite file is a key to the complete solution, but I do not have enough knowledge to go beyond and address it. I appreciate any help you anyone can offer.

Here is the way to get rid of the problem once and for all:

I want name on address bar goes to home page, not search engine

Just today I hooked up a new modem/router that I purchased at a WIndstream store. I have been browsing the internet for years with Firefox. I have changed the keyword.url setting in my Firefox configuration (see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/833252#answer-197476) so that the new version would act like the old version and go directly to the webpage when the name was typed in the address bar. For example: when I type in "windstream" (no ".net" or".com") I would go directly to windstream' home page.
However, when I hooked up my new modem/router I my browser is hijacked and goes to a Windstream search page. I have tried everything from re-installing Firefox, re-changing the "keyword.url" setting, I even tried the Firefox ad-on here (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/browse-by-name/).
All to no avail......there is something that has changed by adding Windstream's hardware and connecting to their network that will not allow me to use this function of Firefox.
Nothing else changed, but a new piece of hardware.....
Changed keyword.url to : http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
Re-installed Firefox after cleaning all history and cookies.
Tried the add-on "Browse by name"
Wasted my time calling Windstream tech support.
Changed to openDNS
Tried to disable the feature through Windstream's web page, but then it just happens with the new search engine.

Opt-out of Windstream's search service: Type in something to get their sneaky web search page to come up, then click the tiny link at the bottom right "about this page". That sends you to a page where you can opt-out of their service.
To opt-out from their "valuable" sneaky service, you have to choose to opt-in to another search service.
You have to do this with each browser. And it still sends you to your search engine's results page, not to your URL the way you might want it to.
I would rather the default be to allow me to opt-in if I choose to, not have to jump through hoops to find out how to opt-out. It's taken me weeks to discover this. Annoying!
