Home page will not load on startup

Safari in Lion is making me nuts.
I have finally transitioned over and the problem is simple...when I start Safari it will not start up with my designated home page (My Yahoo).
It invariably opens with whatever the last page was when I quit.
Even more maddening is opening a new window or a new tab does open with the desgnated homepage.
I know how to set home page preferences...I have been on Macs for decades.
Is there some weird conflict with the "new windows and/or new tabs" dropdowns...some magic combination that I have wrong?
This is not a comnputer specific behavior. It is happening on two different Macs.
This is really irritating.
Thanks kids...

Never mind...I just figured it out. Restore windows when quitting box in Gen Prefs must be unchecked. To many new little things.

My home page will not load when I open Firefox but features show up in column on left and bookmarks are there.

My home page opens with features in a column on the left and bookmarks are available but the center section (features) is blank. Home page with features appeared at first opening of FF, then would not open normally after opening a feature but would not open normally when going back to home page. No not at all.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Database home page will not load whilst ZoneAlarm Pro is running

Hi,
I'm runnning win XP sp2 on a dell latitude d800 with zonealarm pro 6.0.667.000
I had a couple of glitches during install similar to those reported in other threads, but everything installed ok in the end and could connect via sqlplus, db instance verified as up and running.
Clicking on "Go to database start page" from the start menu, brought up logon page and if incorrect details entered it gives error message (as it should), but if you enter correct credentials it just comes back to logon page.
Turning off ZA Pro and repeating process, I can logon OK and get to home page. As far as I can see, I've allowed all oracle XE related services and apps access to trusted and internet zones.
Any ideas? I don't want to leave firewall disabled, and turning it on/off to use XE is impractical too.

Hi,
I have done some research and found a working solution (for me).
I have downloaded the latest version 6.1.737.000 (english version).
First I installed just the basic (free) version of ZoneAlarm, no problems there. XE worked just fine.
Then I upgraded to ZoneAlarm Pro and immediately I had the problems as described above.
The problem is definitely due to blocked cookies from localhost.
There are numerous posts on their support forum regarding this issue:
http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/search?q=cookie+localhost
It seems to be a bug in ZoneAlarm Pro. It identifies the cookies as 3rd party cookies and therefore blocks them. Adding 127.0.0.1, localhost or the local ip address to the site list (privacy tab) won't work either.
The only way I got this working was to set the following configuration options:
Privacy > Cookie Control => OFF
Privacy > Ad Blocking => OFFDoes this workaround work for you as well?

Web Pages will not load completely or respond to my action

I open Firefox and my home pages do not load properly or completely, nor will any of my commands work. I uninstalled
Firefox, downloaded and installed a new firefox and it is still doing the same exact thing.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

I've been using firefox 4.01 Today (4.29.11) it downloaded an update and now the pages will not load.

Since the update loaded on my computer my web pages will not load and i get invalid url message

Ever since firefox updated to 17, my web pages will not load. When I type in the search bar and hit the enter button, the address switches to https and i get a message stating that my page is an invalid url and the following message
Reference #9.1db78443.1354339468.3c70717c
I have cleared my histories and cookies and restarted my computer but cant get it to work.
I can type in www.google and go directly to the google page and then gain access to my pages, just not through the firefox address bar.

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works for a laptop using windows

I can make a WiFi connection but pages will not load. WiFi works ok on a laptop using Windows. I have reset the WiFi settings but this makes no difference.

Thanks, Linc, but that almost helped:
Because the retina 15 only has a wifi connection (no ethernet), that's the connection I'm stuck with for the notebook. But on the 27iMac, I did have both ethernet and wifi enabled. When I turned the wifi off on the 27, therer was a brief moment when both computers were showing their counterparts when I tried to make a network connection. BUT, after a few seconds of 'searching', the computer I was trying to connect to disappeared from the Network list.
So I tried the opposite; the retina can only connect thru wifi, so that's a given. I swithched my ethernet off and then enabed the wifi on the 27 and ....same thing: When I try a network connection, there are a few seconds of 'searching', then the ony option I'm left with is share screen, which doesn't work either.
I've read the 'dropped' network is a problem with the retina, but the odd thing is that I never lose my internet connection—that continues to work fine, as does Air Drop—but I can't seem to connect, network-wise.
Any ideas about the dropped network?

In Firefox 18.0.1 on Windows XP, pages will not load until I hit reload

In Firefox 18.0.1 on Windows XP, many pages will not load initially. They will sit, blank, with the little spinning circle. If I hit reload, they immediately load. I have verified that all plugins are up to date (AdBlock Plus and Web Of Trust) and that I have the latest version of Java. I also have added Firefox as an exception to Windows Firewall, and verified that no proxies are set.

Hi Gary,
Willing to help you but "It broke" is not much to go on
Which page is it? Is it when you click a link in a menu? Is it in the admin under pages? Is the URL of the page when you are in the admin the same as the link your clicking...
You need to provide a more information.

Tools/Add-ons, then the page will not 'load' symbel just keeps going round

the Add-ons page will not load, it just goes round a long long time and will not open,
WinXP, Avira AV, Firefox 6

By default the "Get Add-ons" tab is selected if you open the about:addons page (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons) 
That page tries to load content from the Mozilla server and that can take some time especially if the Mozilla servers are busy. 
You can click on the Extensions tab to see the installed extensions or one of the other tabs to see other installed add-ons.
