Home page tabs load incorrectly

I have set certain tabs to open as my home page. When opening, however, Firefox/Aurora/Nightly (all newest v.) load incorrectly a set of old removed home page tabs. I have rebooted the computer and cleaned it with several programs (e.g. Advanced System Care, CCleaner) with no help. Tools --> Options --> Home Page shows the right combination, however. Anything to do?

You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

Everytime I open Firefox - it takes a really long time and reopens the Firefox Update tab that says "Choose your Persona" and "More ways to Personalize" tab along with my regular home page tab. Sometimes it tries to load the add ons too and takes a reall

Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.

Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

Why does my home page tab no longer have the new tab cross in firefox 5

I have just updated firefox from 4.6 to 5.o, but when I load it the new tab cross on my home page tab is missing. I can put one in by Ctrl/T, but would prefer to use the cross.

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key, that should make the menu bar appear.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
* If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the <u>"Restore Default Set"</u> button to restore the default toolbar set up.

Is it possible to show the count of number or rows in table on the Home page Tab button.

Is it possible to show the count of number or rows in table on the Home page Tab button.
On home page there is a Tab called Count and I want to show the count on the right corner of this tab button.
Please help

Create an application item. APP_HOME_COUNT.
Create an application process:
make the application process type "on new instance" if you only want this to run once
make it "on load before header" if you want to have the value set every page load
application process source:
select count(*) into APP_HOME_COUNT from <your table>
modify the tab name to reference the app item, maybe something like "Count(&APP_HOME_COUNT.)"
result should look like this "Count(5)"
Good Luck,
Tyson

Home page is loading twice. How do I stop this?

Whenever I open Firefox, my home page is loaded twice. How do I stop this from happening?

Firefox allows multiple homepages in separate tabs, maybe you inadvertently set the same page twice? ''Those separate pages have a pipe symbol'' | ''between them in the "Homepage" dialog box.''

Unable to close home page tab or unable to close firefox by closing home page tab (when if that is the only last tab remaining in the browser

Recently I noticed that I could not close my browser by closing the last tab, which is nothing but home page tab. also noticed that when I open my browser and after opening many other tab if I want to close home page tab I could not close. If I closed it then I cant navigate or surf from that tab.
This may be due to some add-on causing trouble.
The problem does not arise in safe mode. Also if I group tab after closing, it is counted as tab but I cant open that particular tab.

# Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
#Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

Do you mean on the bottom of Firefox, or below that, on the Windows Taskbar or desktop?
If it's in Firefox, I'd love to see a screenshot of that.

Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

"Use Current Page" to save home pages/tabs is greyed out, even though I have a fresh install of ver. 22 with no added plugins or extensions. How can I fix?

When I try to save my home pages / tabs, I can't, because this option is greyed out. I even uninstalled FF with Revo Uninstaller completely, reinstalled with no new plugins or extensions, and it remains greyed out. The only thing that I can do, is pin the tabs, but I wish to be able to use this option. If I can't, I won't know if its Firefox, or malware or? Thank you in advance for any help. Windows 7 Premium SP1, Firefox ver. 22

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Home page not loading in some machines

I develop one site & released to the server but some

Is it possible to load the page without the Flash

You can include alternative content for people who do not
have the Flash
player. Essentially, you write the site twice--once in HTML
and once in
Flash/Flex. This is one reason why people will often advise
you not to put
mission-critical functionality into anything that requires
the Flash player,
unless you're 100% certain that all of the users who need to
see your
content will have it.

Have you tried resetting your home page from Options > General? Which plugin is that? I have not seen a plugin update open a new tab.

I keep loosing my home page tabs after a while after restarting FireFox. They have been saved in options.

All tabs have been set in options as home page, but at least once a day the home page tabs are removed and it goes back to default.
