How do i make firefox startup automatically from startup on xp

firefox used to startup at time of startup and now just goes to my desktop, how can i change this

One typical method is to copy your Firefox shortcut to the Startup folder for your Windows account.
I found an article for Windows 7, and I suspect XP is very similar (minor start menu differences): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/run-a-program-automatically-when-windows-starts

    In windows 7, how do I make firefox start automatically when I turn on the pc

    That worked, thanks. When I turn on the pc, I almost always go to the internet before anything else, so this eliminates one step. It doesn't seem to save any time, however, but it is easy. If anyone else wants to try this, it looks like it's very easy to undo if you change your mind.

    You installed the ReloadEvery Extension rather and not downloaded it to disk.
    To set the reload time for the tab you are viewing you can right-click the page and select a time.

  • In windows 7, how to make firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer

    In Windows 7, how to make Firefox start automatically when I turn on the computer. Note, I am asking how to do this with Windows 7, not xp, not vista.

    You need to place a shortcut to open Firefox in the Start > Programs > Startup folder.<br />
    That is basically the same in all Windows versions.

  • How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

    How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

    Hello,
    You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
    * Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
    * See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
    To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
    * History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
    * Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

    Please,I want to stop users from visiting particular wensites while connected to the internet. How do I configure Firefox to automatically stop users from visiting such dangerous sites?

    Thanks, Ronda! I haven't been able to try your suggestion because I fried my router! So I need to get a new wireless router before proceeding.
    (I may start a new thread about getting a new router, but I will look for answers first to my questions and only start one if I cannot find answers.)
    After I get a new router, I will try what you suggested and report back here.

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • When I put a website Icon on my desktop, how do I make firefox use the Icon native to that website instead of the default Firefox Icon?

    When I drag and drop a website onto my desktop, how can I make Firefox use the icon native to that website instead of the default firefox icon?
    I have even gone painstakingly (SEVERAL TIMES) to the sites with IE, dragged the site onto my desktop in order to obtain the site native icons for my desktop (and deleted the ones with the Firefox icon) .... but they all soon revert to the default Firefox icon.
    E X T R E M E L Y F R U S T R A T I N G !!!!!!!!!

    I don't want icons from the Firefox library.
    I want the icon that comes from the website I'm making the shortcut for.
    (If you go to a site in IE you will see the site generated icon at the left end of the URL in the address field.)
    If I make IE my default browser I am able to get (and keep) those icons as shortcuts on my desktop without a problem.
    I want to keep Firefox as my default browser.
    So I want to know how to make Firefox accept the icon that comes from the website like IE does.
    I have even gone to the trouble to use IE to create the shortcuts with the site specific icons.....but after I do that...... FIREFOX CONVERTS THEM TO THE FIREFOX DEFAULT ICON as soon as I re-boot or refresh my desktop.
    I generally prefer Firefox as a browser....but If there's no fix.....I'm going to dump Firefox.

  • How can I get Firefox to automatically open a new search in a new tab please?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically open a new search in a new tab please? [Without me manually opening the tab]

    For searches from the Search Bar, when you use the Enter key.
    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''browser.search.openintab''' = double-click to toggle to '''true'''

  • How can I make Firefox recognise that I have changed the DNS servers to use?

    After I edit /etc/resolv.conf to make my computer use more reliable DNS servers, Firefox doesn't notice until I restart it. How can I make Firefox notice the change without restarting it?

    I discovered that I can do this by ticking Work Offline in the File menu, and then immediately unticking it again.
    (I believe this mimics what would happen if the operating system disconnected and reconnected from a wireless network, which would be a situation where Firefox would need to check for new DNS servers. So that explains why it works.)

  • HT1689 How do I make songs play automatically in sequence on iPad?

    How do I make songs play automatically on iPad?

    Other than starting play from the songs list - As far as I know, unless you create a playlist for all of the music that you want to play without stopping, there is no way to play songs continuously in the Music App on the iPad.
    If you start play with a song in the songs list, then I believe all of the songs will play one after the other. If you mean though, starting with one album or artist and then moving on the the next album or artist, you have to create a playlist for that.

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.
