How do I get a Google home page up and customize it to suit time, calendar etc.

I used to click on a shortcut icon on my desktop and get a Google screen customised to give me daily jokes, calendar, weather, time of day and a selected golf wallpaper. I downloaded incredimail and this wiped out the lot.
How do I restore the settings my original setup ???

What you see in 5.0 is going to be around for awhile, it is unlikely there will be major changes to the interface for Firefox 6 or Firefox 7. Since Firefox is customizable you can make it look very much like 3.6.18 about the only difference you would see is silhouette icons instead of color. I think you would find it quicker and more satisfying to make the customizations to Fx5 and be current than to back to Fx3. You can check out the before and after pictures in Step #1 of the following -- the colors on the toolbar are for me to identify which profile I'm using.
You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)].
'''Research your extensions''',
You might also find addition information on the extension's add-on page, some may have updates, some solutions may be found in the developer comments or user comments on the add-on, or on the "'''View all versions'''" link which is part of the '''Release notes''' at the bottom of the add-on page where you may find a compatible version available that is waiting for approval.
You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Reporter]" extension, or with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility extensions.checkCompatibility] using about:config
One of the nice things about having extensions is that you can disable them and still use Firefox, disabled extensions will still get update notices. Or maybe use another extension until the one you want is fixed or works for you.
For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox, find your system and the Firefox version you want in releases, download and start the install.
* ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/
:or with the latest of version 3
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older.html
: Note Mac OS X 10.4 user, and Mac OS X 10.5 users without Intel cannot upgrade to Firefox 4 or 5.
Firefox 4 is end of life it was just a platform so work could continue on Firefox 5 without updates to 4 (there was one update).
When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).

Some apps moved to settings; how can I get them to home page

I thought my problems were solved, but now I have a new one. Some of my apps disappeared. I found them in settings. How can I get them back to my
homepages and how did this happen?

Thanks....yes, I realized this after Carolyn explained how apps work. I am not new to computers or to macs, but I AM new to apps, and I'm struggling with learning how they work. I had noticed that they were no longer on my homepage, and then, in searching around for them, I saw them in settings. Then the question was: how the heck do I get them where I want them? Didn't even think about them being in iTunes! I love knowing I can shuffle the apps around there instead of trying to slide them from one home page to another (not easy in my view!).
I have to say that without this discussion board, I would never have figured out this iPad. 15 years ago I bought my first computer and learned the whole thing on my own without any tutoring, but this iPad is totally confusing. I am just now beginning to see how it works and am actually just now beginning to do a little troubleshooting without help. But, it's been a long, hard road!

Google home page. remove boxes from web, images, video, maps, news, etc

I use Google as my home page.
I would like to remove the boxes around web, images, video, maps, news, etc.
I don't see these boxes in Internet Explorer.
Thanks

Thanks to jscher and cor-el I now have the Google home page that I wanted.
I was not blocking gstatic.com or ssl.gstatic.com
I looked at:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
I think items 2 and 3 fixed my problem. item 2 is the stronger candidate.
My attempt to improve the display for my old eyes - contrast and font size was not very successful.
I Checked these four items carefully from "website colors are wong.
1 (Firefox) View -> Page Style should not be set to "No Style"
Page style was set to wiki
2 "Tools -> Options -> Content -> Colors" check "Allow pages to use their own colors, instead of my selections above"
This item was NOT checked. It is now checked.
3 (Windows users) Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Accessibility -> Display -> uncheck "Use High Contrast", restart the application
This item was checked. I un- checked it. I think this fixed the problem.
4 (Windows users) Right-click the Firefox shortcut -> Properties -> Compatibility -> uncheck "Run in 256 colors", restart the application
This item was not checked.

How do I get Firefox's home page to open a new tab when searching?

I'm slightly modifying Firefox's about:home page, and I'm trying to get the home page to effectively be its own app tab. In order to do that, I need to make it so that when I search with it, it opens a new tab to view my search results.
I've tried two things so far; I've tried adding the attribute '''target="_blank"''' to the '''<form>''' tag, and I've tried adding the attribute '''onclick="this.form.target='_blank';return true;"''' to the '''<input>''' tag nested inside of the '''<form>''' tag (I'm guessing the latter is JavaScript lol). I also tried an extension "TabSubmit" which didn't work here.
I know how to edit the right page (I'm changing the contents of aboutHome.xhtml in omni.ja), and have already edited the stylesheet slightly (to underline links when hovering over them and adjusting the fading of Mozilla's logo when hovering over it). This is the next change I wanted to make.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

The about:home uses window.location.href = url; to change the location of the current tab.
Changing this to window.open(url); and adding a line at the end of the aboutHome.js file to initialize localStorage works for me with a locally saved about:home page.
<pre><nowiki>function onSearchSubmit(aEvent)
let searchTerms = document.getElementById("searchText").value;
if (gSearchEngine && searchTerms.length > 0) {
const SEARCH_TOKENS = {
"_searchTerms_": encodeURIComponent(searchTerms)
let url = gSearchEngine.searchUrl;
for (let key in SEARCH_TOKENS) {
url = url.replace(key, SEARCH_TOKENS[key]);
window.open(url);
aEvent.preventDefault();
localStorage["search-engine"]="{\"name\":\"Google\",\"searchUrl\":\"http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms_&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a\"}";</nowiki></pre>

How do I get rid of home page I do not want

I have always had Google as my Home Page on Firefox. Suddenly out of nowhere (and I have never used this site) it comes up with a website for a Canadian drugs company. Try as I may I cannot get rid of this website. I have done all the normal things like resetting default, deleting and requesting that Google be the Home Page by clicking and dragging icon to home page but as soon as I click Firefox up comes this rogue website. Anyone any ideas how I can get rid of it for good???? Driving me mad!!!

-> Tap ALT key or press F10 to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version by going to Help Menu -> About Firefox -> click Check for Updates -> if an updated version is found then download the latest version and install it. After that follow these steps:
-> Update ALL your Firefox Plug-ins https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/

-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page" -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com -> place Checkmark on "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" -> select Radio Button option2 "Always ask me where to save files"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Use Custom Settings for History"''' -> REMOVE Checkmark from '''"Permanent Private Browsing mode"''' -> place CHECKMARKS on:
1) Remember my Browsing History 2) Remember Download History 3) Remember Search History 4) Accept Cookies from sites -> select "Exceptions..." button -> Click "Remove All Sites" at the bottom of "Exception - Cookies" window
4a) Accept Third-party Cookies -> under "Keep Until" select "They Expire"
-> REMOVE CHECKMARK from CLEAR HISTORY WHEN FIREFOX CLOSES
-> When using the Location Bar, suggest: select "History and Bookmarks"
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window

How do I restore Firefox/Google home page without Yahoo?

In an attempt to delete Yahoo, my Home Page which features Google changed entirely and still shows Yahoo with all its add ons. Also now when closing a link page Mozilla shuts down and I have to start all over again.
How can I restore what I had and totally delete Yahoo ?

hello Vidabg, you can't restore this old homepage. it wasn't maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time the search contract between google and mozilla was in place, which is now no longer the case. the new default homepage that firefox uses now is '''about:home'''.

How can I get just my home page to come up when Firefox starts. I don't want to see all the pages for my extensions plus the "Welcome to Firefox Page." I have 5 pages open every time that I don't want.

Firefox Welcome Page
Download Helper Extension Page
Google Shortcuts Extension Page
Download Status Bar Extension Page
This happens each and every time Firefox opens, whether there is a new update or not. I currently have these extensions disabled until I can resolve this issue.

Open Firefox preferences/options. On the General tab you can specify what Firefox should do when it starts. I would guess that you have "Show my windows and tabs from last time" selected. Select "Show my home page" and set your home page in the text box.

When I downloaded Firefox 4 I lost my browser line, my home icon, my return arrow etc. How do I get my old home page back?

I am unable to use my computer with this new Firefox 4. Can I please return to Firefox 3?

The home page icon has by default been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back to where you want - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars

From" bookmarks" when in "e-mail/aircanada/or any program, how do I get back to home page. there used to be a home symbol on tool bar? thank you ken

When I finish with "e-mail" or any other site I'm in I dont see a way of closing that site . there used to be a "home" symbol on tool bar that took you back to firefox home page.?? before this latest download. thank you ken

The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

Google home page will not display but everything else works (bookmarks,etc)

When I start FF, the page says server was reset before loading complete, yet my other system does just fine with same version of FF.
Just started last night and haven't gone to malicious website as they are blocked by Avast well and no emails came in.
Even reinstalled FF.
Please advise.
Thanks everyone.

FYI for everyone. Found that if your homepage does not come up and you get "Server reset while page was loading" and can't get it to change, then disable all plugins and restart Firefox. Home page should come up.
Now Firefox comes up fine. Will check other issue on cookies not deleting.

Since updating th Ff 4, instead of getting my Google home page, I get the following (Twice) before the Google page

I get 2 error messages which I have to click OK on before I get to the Google page, then my Norton 360 log-in is no longer there.
I give up - back to internet explorer, where at least my Norton 360 sign-ins still work.

How can I get Firefox to load pages properly and stop asking me to add every single page I visit as a "security exception"?

I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox today because it is required for some of the websites I need for my college courses. However, every single website I go to (even the Mozilla site, Google, etc.) says that there's an "untrusted connection." On some sites I have an option between "Get me out of here!" or to add this particular site as a security exception. As you can probably imagine, this is very time consuming and frustrating. I have uninstalled the program (clean uninstall) and reinstalled it. I have reset Firefox, and nothing helps. The problem persists in Safe Mode as well. Along with this issue, every website I manage to get access to is all kinds of messed up. Modules are missing, or the whole page is blank. It can sit there for an hour and nothing loads. I have a good internet connection and fast processor. I was using Chrome before, and Internet Explorer with no issue. About two years ago I used Mozilla Firefox on this same computer and had no issues. I have a 64-bit system, which is the only issue I can think might be causing this problem. I have gone through and tried changing just about every setting, and nothing has helped. I am at my wit's end because I have homework to do and can't because of this problem.

Glad it is fixed. Thanks for posting back, (even if we are not sure exactly what happened).

I get no browser home page; no favorites/bookmarks; no back buttons; no tools, etc. just a generic Firefox bar with preset sites which go nowhere when clicked. I have windows vista home premium. Firefox works fine on my desktop

Upgraded to latest Firefox version on my laptop w/ Vista Home Premium and get no browser page; no back buttons; no bookmarks/favorites; no address bar...nothing like a typical browser page...all I have is a cumbersome Firefox bar that has preset sites that do nothing when clicked.
FF worked fine before I "upgraded". Want 3.5 back
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== about 5 days ago

I followed your instructions and installed Developer Suite 10G on Windows Vista Home Premium edition. I have Oracle 11G DB running on the same machine.
Two points, Steve:
1. When I tried to set the maximum virtual memory to 6110 an error message displayed from Windows and told me that I can't set the maximum virtual memory to more than 4096. I set it to 4090 and it worked and I got nothing wrong during the installation process.
2. After installing JInitiator and disabling Java on Firefox I called the http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet page and everything seemed to be OK because the Oracle Forms Services logo appeared and then a successful installation message appeared , but as I clicked (ok) to continue a gray screen appeared inside the browser (like the one displayed when you try to run a Java applet inside a browser) and then I wait to death till something appears but sadly nothing. I just get a blank gray screen inside my Firefox browser.
Do you have any idea what to do to solve the problem?
Regards
