How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs. 
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

I have 2 accounts in my Mail Preferences, hotmail and gmail. I have tried to set it so when I send a message to a new recipient it is my gmail one that is used as default. However, it is thehotmail account that is always ticked first.

Can I set a default home page when people use my router?

Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
Can I set it to my web site for example so that people have to go there when they connect?
Thanks,

Hello EireReality. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Can I set a default home page when people use my router?
No, at least not that I'm aware of. Setting a "default home page" is typical feature of a web browser, not an Internet router.

Start page when opening new tab?

when i open a new tab (by clicking the + at the tab-taskbar), i get another start page as the start page i have set. how can i get the same start page, when i open a new tab, as the one i have set when firefox opens ?

i've found the solution myself, finally...as there's an add-on:
[http://www.sogame.cat/newtaburl/]
This extension allows users to select the default URL when new tabs are opened.
The options are:
A blank page.
The home page.
The current page.
A user defined URL.
When there is an URL in the clipboard, it is also possible to open automatically that URL in the new tab.

How can I make Firefox respect the option to open new tabs in the background? Since 3.x and continuing to Nightly it insists on focusing them immediately?!

Firefox 2.x would open new tabs in the background, but ever since 3.0 it seems to completely ignore this setting.

They only focus for me on the first creation and not when they refresh.
Are you seeing the same?

Can you set a "default" web page in a KM folder?

Hi there,
I've been playing around with using Adobe Contribute to edit web pages in a CM Repository. It was easy to create a CM repository, put some web pages and supporting CSS, images etc. in there, and create a KM navigation iView that displays the default page. Setting up Adobe Contribute to edit those pages via a WebDAV protocol was simple too, and to be honest I find the Contribute interface and functionality easier to use (particularly from the average end user's point of view) and implement than the Portal's built-in HTML editor, or the Web Page Composer.
But then I ran into a snag. In order to be able to "administer" the site with Contribute (or Dreamweaver), it creates an _mm folder and puts a "guard" page in it. The guard page is a file which would be returned to the browser when it tries to access a folder. In a normal website that would be a "default" page (e..g index.htm, default.htm etc.), but in the Portal there doesn't seem to be a way to have one. I believe that's why if you try to access a folder through a browser you get:
"The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
You can try one of the following:
Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work."
That's what happens if I use something like http://<host name>:<port number>/irj/go/km/docs/<repository prefix>/<folder name>/ as a URL, though http://<host name>:<port number>/irj/go/km/docs/<repository prefix>/<folder name>/default.htm works just fine (as you would expect). And I can retrieve a fake "guard" page using http://<host name>:<port number>/irj/go/km/docs/<repository prefix>/<folder name>/_mm/default.htm
An Adobe technote confirms this as problem - [Guard Page not found|http://go.adobe.com/kb/ts_f3675780_en-us]. Does any one know if a default page can be set in a CM repository.
Regards,
Tom

I don't think you can.
What is possible is to set content on the folder resource itself; that would be returned instead of the page you mentioned.

How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

I work at a community college in upstate NY.
We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
We would do the following:
1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
3. Copy the Folder
C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
To
C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
4. Restart the computer
We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):

How do I make Firefox default to home page when open new Tab?

When I open a new tab/window its blank. I have Firefox open to my home page Google, and I want the new tab/window to default open to that if I haven't chosen a web site to go to in the new Tab/window.
Is there a way to make Firefox default to the Google page when I open a new Tab/window and dont specify a web site to open to ?
I am using XP PRO x64 with firefox 4.0 and everything else works fine... my default home page is the Google search page.

Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
After install and re-starting Firefox, go to Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL, set the options and/or enter the URL you want when you open a new tab, click Save.

Does not relate to your question, but...
You have multiple old Java Console extensions that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, '''''but you can not remove them from there'''''. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can '''''manually''''' remove them, '''''if you do not do Java development work''''' to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

Change Blank Page when opening New Tab

Is there anyway in Safari 3 to change the blank page that opens when starting a new tab? Anyway to change it to Google or any page you like?

I don't believe this is possible, but even if it were, setting it to Google would be pointless, since you can already do a Google search from the browser search bar.
You can suggest this as a feature to Apple if you like here: Mac OS X Feedback

How can I stop Mozilla and some extensions from opening new tabs every time I open firefox, even with no updates?

I'm using Firefox 9.0.1 on a Windows 7 laptop. Since upgrading to 9.0 and then 9.0.1 Mozilla and Speed Dial open new tabs as if they've been updated, even though there has been no update. Colorful tabs 8.0 did it as well, but I disabled it.

Do you have BitDefender (2010 e.g.) with its toolbar? If yes, remove it because the BD toolbar is known to be buggy and cause this issue (add-on compatibility check at each Firefox start).
And report here the BD toolbar version you have.

I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved
