How do I change the background behind the home page
My home page has a design behind it............. I would like to revert to its original plain design. The design it has now came through an email as a addition.
Sounds like you installed a Persona. See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Personas#w_removing-a-persona-in-firefox-3-6

How do you change the home page of a tab?
My home page is google.nl, but if I open a tab, I don't see google.nl.
Your new tab can be changed to a different page. First, I suggest copying the URL of the page you want from the address bar, then:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab''
about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
about:home
''(iv) Any other page''
full URL to the page (paste what you copied)
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed? -
Cant restore after installing updates how do I change the home user/account
I installed 3 updates, opps, this morning, and when I restarted the computer it had reverted back to old setting from 2004. I purchased the computer from a friend, and had worked hard to remove his stuff, now my settings mail etc are gone and the old stuff is back. How do I restore the computer to what it was before the updates took it all off? also how do I change the home from his back to ours? sorry, I am new at this and very very frustrated with the mac so far.
Changing the home folder name caused the problems, not the updates. The problems won't show up until you restart, which, in your case, was just
after the updates. See:

When you get a used computer, it is safest to erase the disk (with zeroing option), then reinstall OSX, update it, and get the latest versions of all the software you need. You should also run Extended Tests from the Apple Hardware Test disc to be sure there are no hardware problems. -
How do you get the home page to stay the same when you reload your firefox after changing homepage
<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/833594]</blockquote>
We previously had google as our main home page then tried a page called bearshare. Now we want to change the home page back to google. I have tried numerous times typing in the new home page under tools, options then general tab and when we close firefox and then reopen the page it loads bearshare again so we go back to tools option again and it has automatically changed back to bearshare. We are running windows xp on our system and prefer google but bearshare is annoying as it doesn't find alot of kids games sites that we can get through google. Please help what do we do to stop it from changing back all the time?Type '''''about:config''''' in a new window address bar. Click ''''''I will be careful'''''.
You will see all kinds of information that Firefox uses so it knows how to
work. There is a search bar at the top of the page. Type ''''''browser.startup.homepage'''''' and check its entry. You can change it to what
ever web page you want, or you can enter; ''''''about:blank'''''' for a blank page.
I use the Firefox home page; '''''about:home'''''. After, go back to the search bar
and type; '''''browser.newtab.url'''''. This is what a new tab page will display.
Do the same thing here. You can have the same for both or have each open to
different pages. -
I have completely lost my safari. I was getting an error and I lost the address bar. I tried to fix it by changing the home page on the preferences. I don't know what to put in the home page now. How do I get safari back?
I tried editing my first post but couldn't get there...
If you can open Safari go to the top of your screen, click Safari / Preferences then select the General stab. You can type in the web address for your Home page there. -
How do I change the Home file name back to Home?
Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?
The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
Click on Users & Groups
If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref. -
How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop?
How do I change the "home based" computer for my IPOD to a new laptop? When I plug in y IPOD classic, I get a msg asking me to erase the IPOD. What I'd like to do is make the laptop my "home base" vs. my desktop. I have had no success when using icons from ITUNES.
You need to move the iTunes library from your home computer to your new laptop first. From there you'll be able to continue syncing your iPod as before. This iTunes support article covers the different methods available for moving your iTunes library from one PC to another.

I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>jzip</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
You can reset all <i>jzip</i> related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily. -

My Dell Inspiron runs Vista, and I cannot change the home pages on my browser
I have a Dell Inspiron 530S running Vista. I updated Firefox to 5.0. I want to change the home page for one of the tabs. I change the tab to what I want, I go to Options - General - Use Current Page, and it seems to register. I then close Firefox and reopen it. When I do this, I get the old home page - not the one that was on the screen when I selected Options-General-UseCurrent Page on that tab.
What do I do in order to have that tab come up with the page I want when I invoke Firefox?Make sure it says "'''Show My Home Page'''" in the first dropdown menu at the top before you try to change it.

Change the home page in PBC Web
Hi all,
Does anyone how to change the home page that appears by default when we launch the BPC for web?
Regards,
AnaFirst, make certain that you have security setup for access to the ZFP, or zero footprint on BPC web. Next, the easiest method to change the opening page in BPC Web is to open the Web interface, and go to the Content Library.
Then click the name of the page, next to the Check box (in blue). This will open the page and you may select, Modify this Page from the Action pane on the right. From here, you can edit the existing page, add a new page or content, delete the original content etc. You add new content that is named and can move it around to fit your needs. Each section is a named content area in the page. When done, save and preview the page. All the work uses the Action Pane.
Hope this helps. -
