How can I set a custom Home Page while ALSO having a New Tab be the default Mozilla Page?

Why is the "home Page" = to a New Tab page? Why are they linked. I want my.yahoo.com to be my Home Page (currently set properly) but my New Tab page seems to be set to "Conduit" and has a search bar. I have no idea where that came from or how it got set that way. I want to have my current Home Page but make any New Tabs be the Mozilla Default Page with a Google search bar. Is that possible? I am running on Windows XP.

See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

When I click the home button firefox switches to the home page, but also opens a new tab with the firefox startup page.

This is so annoying. I wind up with a bunch of extra tabs that I have to close.

Make sure that you haven't set multiple home pages, separated by a pipe (|) symbol.

How can I return my new tab to the default blank page?

My brother did something which made the new tab page a Yahoo search page. I'd much rather it be the blank page, selecting the address bar. I downloaded the newtabURL add-on and selected the option blank page, highlighting the URL, along with some other stuff and saved it. When I restarted though, Yahoo was still my default new tab option.
I have no idea where this is coming from, I've checked my add-on list, control panel, and extensions list and cannot find anywhere he set Yahoo to do this.
Thanks in advance for your help, and please state some of the obvious solutions I might have overlooked.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How to change the page that opens with a new tab to the default thumbnail screen?

Some nefarious add-on appeared, so I deleted it. But I'm still left with it's search engine as my new tab page, instead of the default page with the thumbnails, which I infact really like.
This has happened before, and I don't know how to get rid of it without resetting Firefox and losing all of my bookmarks (I know I can back them up), cache and other shizzle.
So, how do I restore my new tab page to default?

*1 
'''''Download the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Mozilla Search Reset]''''' 
This add-on is very simple: on installation, it backs up and then resets
your search preferences and home page to their default values,
and then uninstalls itself. This affects the search bar, URL bar
searches, and the home page. 
*2 
Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
setting to; about:home (Firefox default home page), 
about:newtab (shows the sites most visited), 
about:blank (a blank page), 
or you can enter any web page you want. 
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

Hi Edge community, How can I set a custom colors

Hi Edge community,
How can I set a custom colors & font size
to the Adobe Edge Animate CC 2014
work space (stage, time lone, tools, etc...)
to get something close to this?
http://www.vrmall.eu/vr/EDGE_WORKSPACE_BLACK_n_WHITE/EDGE_WORKSPACE_BLACK_n_WHITE_r.01.jpg
Thanks a lot for Your time and help.

Hi Robyn_cpl,
thanks for the useful link - based on this I decided to
purchase the PDF of Adobe Edge Animate: The Missing Manual
by Chris Grover. Good book indeed, work space panels resizing
and docking are covered, but there is nothing on colors&fonts...
I've been searching intro's, tut's, forums on Edge, but no hint
on this... But I keep searching You Tube, Google, etc...
I'm intended to submit the subject to Adobe Edge Support.
Thanks again for Your attention

How can I set up a preferred printer so I don't have to pick the printer each and every time I print something out? At the moment, even immediately after printing one thing, it prompts me to pick a printer, which is very time consuming.

No, there is not setting for a default printer.The system scans for available airprint printers each time you print.

How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?

How can I sign up with Enterprise program, while I have an active membership of the iOS developer program?
I have bought a memership for the iOS Developer program.
I have created an in-house app.
Now I want to publish it to all employees without registering the devices.
So..
I go to their website and try to sign up for the enterprise program, image shown below:
http://s29.postimg.org/q06ylh5o6/Clipboard01.jpg
Within the image above, I click continue...
http://s14.postimg.org/46lqcpy74/Clipboard02.jpg
Then I am taken to the image above, there I need to select a program, but I already have a program, the iOS developer program! And the checkbutton of that program, is disabled. If I try to click continue at this page, without sleecting a program, a javascript-box shows "You have to select a program before continuging"...
Do I need to unsubscribe my iOS developer program, to then register it again? Lol!
PS: no clue where I should post this, looked over the forums and could not see anything related to singing up, registering for a program...

Our apps came offline automatically shortly after this as iTunesConnect thought we had not renewed our license, even though we had several weeks ago.
We had a brief panic as our apps were offline for 12 hours, which is how long it took Apple Support to work out what was wrong and hook things up.
I suggest you contact them ASAP to get this fixed so you don't get that iTunesConnect alert to your phone 'Your app status has been changed to Pending Contract'.

How can I set up firefox home on my iPhone without a desktop

How can I set up the Firefox Home App on my iPhone without using a desktop computer and without having to sync it, too?
My home computers are not functioning right now, but Firefox is my favorite browser.
Can someone help me get it working on my iPhone?

Actually, there is no version of Firefox for the iPhone. Firefox Home is a helper app to sync certain data to your iPhone.

How can I set up printing to queues on a Windows 2008 server directly from the iPad apps and not from third-party applications without using AppleTalk or Bonjour?

We have a Windows 2003/2008 server-based network with a dedicated print server which we would like to be able to print to over Wi-Fi. How can I set up the printers on the iPad without downloading a third party application such as Print Central or Print N Share? I want to just click the arrow and "Print" then choose the printer, which doesnt show up. I want to be able to use the existing TCP/IP-based network that we have to reach these queues, not having to install Bonjour or AppleTalk to reach them.
Thanks,
KMQ7

This would really be the "Holy Grail" right now. I think this a feature that every large organization requires. AirPrint works on a small scale, but is not really an enterprise class application. In addition it uses the Bonjour discovery process which is difficult in a large LAN WAN environment. For those that would remind me, I am aware of the enhancement link

How can you get your homage address to open when you open new tabs? My homepage is Google, but my new tabs always open with Yahoo.

On my old computer, all my tabs always opened to what my homepage was set to: iGoogle. Now with my new computer, my homepage is set, but all new tabs open with Yahoo! I've tried looking at tab setting but don't see a place to set it. Help!

The behavior that you have is not the default Firefox behavior, which always opens a blank tab. You will have an add-on that is causing this. Check for any Yahoo related add-ons to see if they have this option. The freeze net assistant add-on is another one that opens Yahoo in a new tab.
There are add-ons that allow you to specify what should appear on a new tab, but these may conflict with the add-on that is opening Yahoo.

Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Why don't the new tabs show the "normal" tiles page?

dear mr. or mrs. support,
i have recently bought a new laptop. i synced it up with my old one but for some reason whenever i open an empty new tab it opens on a page of the bing searchengine which is something i never asked it to do. i can't change this in the preferences and i am sure that nothing i can change in the preferences i think should realate to this as well as in the addons and plugins that i can reach as a layman, differs from those of my old laptop. stil all empty tabs open on the bing search.
the laptop is an acer which might be relevant as the URL opening in every new tab is: homepage-web.com/?s=acer&m=tab
so yea acer's pretty much involved in this.
oh and according to mcaffe the site is untrustworthy/unsecure so thats good.
I'd really like to get rid of this as it cuts down considerably on my browsing speed and makes me feel slightly soiled by bing and other affiliated parties. As such i would be dreatly appreciative of your help.
Thanks in advance,
Simon

hi mr. zephisto :-)
this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc, so please perform the following steps:
#please install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customizations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
#go to the firefox ''menu ≡ > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
#also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
#finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner], which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

How can I set a custom resolution on a MacbookAir for an external monitor?

I've been trying to set a custom resolution on my macbook air for an external monitor but the only options displayed are 1280x1024 and 800x600. How can I bring up more options? Thanks!

Your Mac sets those resolutions (and the display NAME) based on the information your display provides when a query is sent at Startup. If those are the only resolutions shown, then your display has said that is all it can do.
What display is this, and what Interface is being used?
This pane will tell you more about what the display has reported:

How can I set up my home network?

This post might get a little long, and I need someone with patience to help me modernize my network.
Here's what I have:
Modem: Comcast
Router: Netgear WNDR 3700
External Hard Drive : 2 TB Seagate GoFlex Desk
2 HD TiVo's connected via Cat 5
Windows laptop, connected via 5 GHZ network: Acer Aspire 6930 running Windows Vista Home Edition. Intel Core Duo CPU, 2.00 GHz, 4 Gig Ram, 32 Bit operating system. 144 Gig C drive, 140 Gig D drive, 698 External hard drive connected via USB.
MacBook Pro 13”, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB Ram, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB, running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)
iBook G4 13”, 1.2 GHz processor, Power PC G4, 1.25 GB memory
iPad 1, 64 gig w/ cellular
iPad 1, 16 gig w/out cellular
iPhone 4
iPhone 3GS
Apple TV
The Windows laptop was recently wiped out by a virus, so I lost all my programs. The MacBook I use for work (but I own it) and I travel with it, and the Windows laptop stays at home. The iBook is an old Mac I don’t use anymore.
I just got an Apple TV, and here’s my dilemma:
I’m ripping my DVD’s with Handbrake, and putting them in iTunes, but the only drive I have big enough for all of them is the 2 TB Seagate. I would like to leave the Seagate at home, so my wife can watch videos and listen to music when I’m not at home. However, I’d also like access to my music and videos when I’m on the road. Ideally, I’d like the Seagate to be connected to my router as a networked drive, with the iTunes folder housed on it, and be able to sync music and video playlists to my MacBook Pro. My iPad and iPhone 4 syncs to my Powerbook, and I want to be able to transfer videos to the iPad from the MacBook Pro.
So, how can Apple TV see all my media, all the time, yet be able to put media on my MacBook Pro and then to my iPad? I can use the Windows laptop or the iBook as a home media server if need be, but all my ripping and video converting will be done on the MacBook Pro because its the only one that is fast enough.
Thanks Guys!

The best way by far is to run ethernet as a kind of backbone between the two stories.. on one storey setup the AE and the other you setup the TC.
I have no idea if one is the main router or not.. or both are bridged.. that doesn't really matter.. the principle is.. one router per network. So whichever is not the main router change to bridge mode.
Both should create a wireless network. You can use roaming setup, where both use identical names and identical security. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4260
