Home page settings do not work?

I did the upgrade to FF 9.0.1 and it seemed to work fine. I set my home page to Google but when I open Firefox it still opens the "Thank You for Upgrading" window in the first tab and my home page in the next tab. How do I get rid of this first tab. Please don't tell me to change my home page settings because that does not work.

Multiple Home Page settings not working in Server 2008 R2

I have Windows Server 2008 R2 as a DC & ADC is same 2008 R2 server both with SP1 with IE 11 installed
other Group policies are there & running well.
I had setup two home pages but on user machines its showing & running only one Primary home page.
I have one my intranet site & another home page is our website.
I have enable "Disable changing Primary Home page" & kept my intranet page there.
I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" & kept my website page there.
After gpupdate I can see only one page in users Internet settings. My website page is not at all loading !!!
Scenario 2 :-
I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
after Gpupdate its loading 3 pages. Twice same intranet page & one website page.
In group policy configured only two & loading 3 pages?
I need it must show only two pages. Tried all the ways & seems frustrating with Windows Server 2008 R2 Group Policy.
Does anyone succeeded in the multiple home i.e. must load Only TWO pages in the IE browser via Group policy.
All users have 64 bit Windows 7 OS with IE 10 & IE 11 browser installed & updated. Servers has IE 11

Hi,
As suggested by Martin, the easy way to do this is GPP.
>>I have selected not configured option for "Disable changing Primary Home page" & apply.
>>I have enable "Disable changing Secondary Home page" and kept Both Intranet & my website page address there.
Before going further, we should set both these settings as Not Configured. Then we go to
User Configuration\Preferences\Control Panel Settings\Internet Settings.
After creating a new Internet Settings item, we can configure the homepages in the blank on the
General tab. Note: to make the settings effective, we need to press
F5 to make the line under the blank green. At last, we can run
gpupdate/force to refresh the policy.
Best regards,

When I change my Internet (proxy) and home page settings and then close and reopen Firefox, they are not saved. Why is this happening?

I am going under Tools and Options, then Advanced -> Network -> Settings and changing the automatic configuration script for my work network. When I hit OK everything works. But when I close out Firefox, and then reopen it at a later time, it does not save the setting change I made and I have to do it all over again. This is also happening when I change my home page information as well...

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved

When Firefox is closed, all previous search page and home page settings are not saved. Must reset firefox and reset homepage url everytime.

All previous search engines on "Manage Search Engines" are gone and cant access the "get more search engines"...all grayed out.

Session Manager and Save session are the ad-ons which can solve your problem of saving previous search pages and url.
To set up home page and its related error You have to read this :

Mutiple home page settings opens many duplicate tabs

I have set two home pages"http://www.yahoo.com| http://att.my.yahoo.com" when i click the home icon, it opens the second home page in a new tab, one tab every time the icon is clicked.
ie the first home page tab clears and reloads in the same tab,having one tab.
The second home page adds a new tab, ten clicks= 1 yahoo.com tab and 10 att.my.yahoo.com tabs is there a setting to control this?

How did you change the homepage:
*Install add-on
*Change it from the options menu
*Adjust <code>about:config</code> strings
Please ensure that you do not have multiple URLs in the homepage field of the Options window.
If you do not, please try starting Firefox in Safe Mode to ensure that this issue is not caused by an extension. [[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-modeMore Details]]
Please report back soon.

Maybe I'm a noob, but I can't change my home page settings. Help?

I cannot find a way to change my homepage. Please help.

Open Firefox. Along the top you'll see a tab for Tools. Click on it and select Options. Click on the General tab at the top and an option for setting your homepage will come up. That's all there is to it.

Firefox opens when I connect to the internet instead of opening to my home page

Occasionally when I want to connect to the internet, my home page does not appear; I see Mozilla Firefox that fills the screen instead. I want to go to my home page, Dvorak, from which I navigate to other sites, such as Google for a search. I do not want to see anything, update notice or Firefox's search, etc., from Mozilla Firefox when I try to connect! I have tried re-setting my home page. That works for a while, but eventually Mozilla Firefox comes up instead.

My Home page wont install when I first boot up

Ever since i started using Firefox I have set my Home pages to open automatically at boot-up on my Windows XP. There has been no issue. Now suddenly, it will not access the internet and home pages when i start in the morning. After that, when ever I hit "home page" it does it no problem. I have checked the home page settings; I have reset fire fox but it still does not connect.I have also attempted to follow advise previously given. I have some knowledge of getting around the PC but Im NOT a Techie!!
Any advise would be appreciated please.
Thanks

You said that you could click home to successfully reload the pages at some point, but when trying to reload immediately using Ctrl+r, it didn't work just yet. Hmmm...
Your Reset would have given you a clean cache folder, but it copies over your cookies. In case there is some corruption there, please remove the cookies associated with the problem sites. This will log you out if you use cookies to keep you logged in on those sites.
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Alternately, call up that dialog from this or any other page and change the search box at the top to match the domain of the problem site.
Any change?

I want google back on my home page. I want "ASK" GONE!!!

I keep trying to make Google my home page but the stupid "ASK.com" keeps coming back. I want ASK GONE and I want google back.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

According to your User Agent at the bottom of your question, you have the Ask Toolbar installed:
''Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100625 ~~red:AskTbBCPA~~/3.8.0.12304 Firefox/3.6.6''
Some freeware sites partially finance the cost of their site by including "optional" additional items. Always be careful when downloading and installing such items. In some cases, you have an opportunity during the installation process to '''''UN-check''''' the optional item(s)--'''LOOK for such items'''.
If you have the Ask Toolbar

here is how to uninstall it: http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
NOTE: perform the removal with Firefox closed.
You '''may''' need to review/reset a your home page settings after the un-install.

-Enter '''about:config''' in the address/URL bar and press the Enter key

How can i change the Oracle applicaiton server 10g portal home page

I have this page http://<site>/portal/page?_pageid=#,#&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL and i want to change the page . i can go to the edit mode and change it but i want to really change at the code level. THanks in advance

You can accomplish this via Portal. Log in as a site administrator (Portal or Portal_Admin). On the Portal Builder page, go to the Services portlet & click on the Global Settings link. Here you can set the Default Home Page from a list of pages in Portal.
If you change the default home page, this will also impact your administration accounts. I strongly recommend changing their profiles to use the Portal Builder home. Otherwise you may lock your admin accounts out from being able to make changes. You can either 1) create a group, add admins to group, & create a group profile or 2) modify the admin account's profile(s) In the main Portal Builder page, on the right you should see portlets for Portal User Profile and Portal Group Profile & they each have a Default Home Page settings. The order of precendence is Global -> Group -> User.

If Firefox home page is a secure page why does it always get hijacked by yahoo.co.uk?????

Need to know where and how to find the icon (or any other method) which allows me to delete the yahoo.co.uk hijack. I don't even live in the UK!

If you are shown the Firefox main page but the search bar is set to Yahoo, try changing your Search settings:
* On the Search Bar (bar to the right of the address bar), click the icon or downward triangle
* Select the search provider you want as the main search engine
You can delete search providers you do not want by repeating the steps above but selecting "Manage Search Engines" and performing the necessary actions there. Please see [[Search bar - add, change and manage search engines on Firefox]] for more information.
If when you start Firefox you are sent to a different home page, first check your home page settings to make sure nothing was appended (if there is a | followed by another link, that tells Firefox to open another tab with that link):
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
Also check your add-ons for any suspicious extensions:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
Check your list of install programs in Windows - Control Panel > Programs and Features. If you installed a yahoo toolbar, try uninstalling it to see if that fixes the problem.
You can also check to see if your shortcut has been tampered with. Right click on your Firefox shortcut and select Properties. Check the target line under the Shortcut tab for any web pages after the "firefox.exe".
You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will reset your search and home page preferences to the default value then uninstall itself. Note that if your preferences are not saved and revert back when you restart Firefox, you may have third party software, such as an antivirus, preventing your preferences from being changed. Please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] for more information.

Opening new tab does not display my home page by default, what setting do I change to achieve this?

When selecting the open new tab option, in the past, the tab opened displaying my designated home page. It now opens displaying a YAHOO! search page. My home page settings have not changed and continue to display the correct address, selecting 'home' brings up the correct home page, at any time during browsing. Is there another location where this 'invalid' new tab address might be listed, and removed or reset ?

VC you are a genius! I solved my problem with your solution.
Thanks a lot!

Installed but not loading as home page

I downloaded Firefox 6.0 and got confirmation it has been installed but when i hit the icon it goes directly to MSN.com. I want to click the Firefox icon and get the Firefox home page.

Go to your menu and open Options/General and at the top is your Home page settings, enter about:home and it will go to the home page.
For more on this check this link [[How to set the home page]]

I only want my home page on start up. I do NOT want all my tabs restored. How can I turn off auto restore?

I just want to turn OFF auto restore

Check your home page settings and be sure that you do not have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected. Tools > Options > General > "When Firefox starts:"
