How do I get home page window to appear when opening FF?

How do I get my homepage window to appear when I open FF?
When I go to the dock and click on the FF icon,
''Firefox ''appears in the menu bar but there is no home page window showing. I have to go to ''File'' and select ''New Window'' to get to my home page window.
In FF Preferences I have selected:
"Show my home page" and the correct home page address is shown.
I deleted FF application/program (dragged to trash can) and then re-installed it. That did not help.
I occasionally use Safari and there is no problem with the home page showing right away when I open Safari.

The file you need toi backup is name domain.sites2 and is located in your Users/Home() /Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.  Without that file you won't be able to continue to edit and maintain your website.
However, remember this:
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home()/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
So if you're running Lion or Mt Lion you'll need to make that library visible before you can find and backup the domain.sites2 file.

  • How do I get mt web site to appear when opening iWeb to edit?

    I can still access my web site (iWeb 3.0.4) on line but it does not open on my computer when I click on iWeb.  I just get a window to publish to MobileMe with the icon for a new site in the upper left. How do I find and open my original site?  I have put years of work into it.

    have picture of apple on screen, how do I get home page from there ?

    It sounds like your iPod is frozen on the startup logo.  Have you tried a hard reset yet?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    See this article for more troubleshooting.

    THAT you can't change. Silly of Apple not to provide a setting to back out the animation effects either as a whole or individually.

  • My files, photos, email files, software programs, and all information did NOT transfer over to Mavericks (from Mt. Lion).  How do I get all my stuff to appear when using Mavericks?

    My email did transfer over.
    Thank you.

    First click on the Apple > Logout and Log back in or restart the unit see if that solves it.  If it doesn't do you have a backup of your system prior to upgrade?  Check Disk Utility and see how much space is being used to make sure the drive wasn't somehow erased.

  • How do I get the song titles to appear when I burn a playlist from iTunes?

    I burned a playlist from iTunes, and the song titles on the burned CD changed to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, etc. How can I get the song titles to appear as they do in iTunes? Is this really too much to ask from the world's leading music player software?

    If you are burning an audio CD, you cannot as audio CDs do not have track names. Nothing to do with Apple.

  • How to i get the pages window to fit the screen

    Just downloaded the pages app.  How do i make the program fit the whole screen of the macbook?

    Correct the Locked full screen IS windows behavior and has not been the way Mac OS has worked to-date.
    Its a long standing bone of contention especially among early switchers that are so used to having IE/MS Word/ Outlook etc.. spread across their monitor with a swathe of white each side of the actual text.
    OSx behavior is based on a true desktop and a genuine multi tasking metaphor (Also the reason Macs own range monitors have been wide screen for so long)
    It is designed to enhance work flow and specifically take advantage of TRUE full drag and drop across the entire OS with use of the desktop as a conduit rather than simply programme launcher (The way many Windows users do)
    Interestingly with the continued OS convergence today see W7 acknowledge that the locked screen approach being obsolete in a multi tasking work environment with "new" the snap to feature allow two windows side by by side
    (Its actually not new but automated tile windows vertically that's be there since the dawn of time (hidden like much of windows - Right click over the task bar choose Tile Windows Vertically - Very intuitive !)
    At the same time Apple are building in Full Screen functionality into OS10.7 Lion !
    Personally not sure i'll be using it !

  • HOW DO I GET THE FIREFOX WINDOW TO APPEAR SO I CAN FOLLOW YOUR DIRCTIONS? WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON THERE IS NO "0PTIONS" IN THE DROP DOWN MENU.

    All of the instructions seem to ask me to start with the firefox window. I cant get this to appear. As an alternate, I have opened Mozilla and clicked on the icon in the upper left corner, but no Options" appears in the drop down menu. (the only items listd are restore, size, etc). What can I do?

    You most likely have the menu bar visible instead of the Firefox button, [[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar]]
    BTW, update to Firefox 22 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]

  • CS6 can't get video preview window to appear when I export my movie clip to auditions?

    Hi,
    I have CS6 Production premium for windows. I am editing my short film.  From premiere pro I am unable to export my video with my audio when I export a clip to auditions to edit it.  The web tutorials show a window pops up asking among other things do you want to render a preview video.  I don't get that window when I edit to auditions.
    I just got CS6 (disc versions) a week ago with my souped up computer and a few days ago there was an update for CS6 that my computer guru told me to hold off on until I finish my short film.
    My guess is either there is something I have disabled in properties or I need the updates.

    Yeah, I've already done that in both auditions and premiere pro.  Plus sifting through all the previous threads on the subject.  Plus a "chat" with an adobe rep last night who couldn't help because she was with the download team.  She told me to call customer support which I will when they open this morning.
    It may have to do with the 1080p 24 frames HD video I'm using or that I also have Cyberlink Powerdirector on my computer utilising or sharing a file that involves rendering video.  Cyberlink I found to be archaic with it's mapping of data and the program - it would not port over to my new computer w/o certain files present on my new C & L drives.
    It is what it is.

  • How can I get firefox to highlight downloaded file when opening containing folder in linux mint 13

    When I use open containing folder to locate the download, the file is not highlighted which, given the size of my downloads folder, makes it a chore to locate the file (especially when you've forgotten what it's named).
    The file manager I'm using is nemo.
    I can manually run nemo with the full path to the file as the second parameter via the command line and it will highlight the file.
    Is there a config option somewhere that I can change to pass in the full file path and not just the containing folder path?

    I have the exact same problem.
    The source of the problem is that on Linux there is no single file manager.
    I tried to determine if firefox uses xdg-open or some other technique by searching the source but have not found it yet.
    If the proper call is used, for most file explorers this function can be realised.
    If xdg-open is used, it should be patched, which I also tried and has not yielded results yet.
    What would help me pick this up further is the answer to the question: what does firefox use to open the file in the download manager?
