How do I prevent an extension/plugin update tab to automatically and recurringly start up with my home page?

I am using Firefox 4 in Windows 7 Professional. Every time, I start up Firefox 4, a tab of any recently updated extensions/plugins will automatically start up with my home page. I tried resetting my home page and uninstalling and reinstalling the extensions/plugins; but, to no avail. Each time this happens the only way I could resolve this problem was to remove the extension/plugins. I am afraid if this issue continues, I will have no extensions/plugins left in my browser; unless, you can help me find a better solution.

It could be that you somehow have both pages set to be your home page or you got firefox set to remember your tabs from last time. Check your home page settings with the instructions in [[How to set the home page]].

  • I have asked this once now I ask again. How do I stop Firefox from being my home page? I have my homepage set but Firefox starts first with my home page and I cant stop it. If I cant stop it then I will just have to uninstall.

    When I start Firefox my home page does not start first, it is set as my home page but Firefox starts first. This is since upgrading to the newest version,

  • How do I get new pages in new tabs to automatically go the same setting as my home page? Google is my home page, and I want the opening in new tabs to default to Google also.

    Whenever I open a new tab, I want the new page to open to the same setting as my Home Page (in my case, Google). Instead it takes me to Bing. Even my Home Page reverts to Bing after I've set it to Google.

    The default New Tab in Firefox is a blank page and there is no built-in option to change that.
    *CTRL+left-click the Home icon will open a new tab to your set home page.

  • How do I prevent/fix iCloud from creating duplicate CONTACTS "notes" and recurring CALENDAR items?

    I use a PC with Outlook 2010 at my office.  At home I use and iMac. My mobile devices are an iPad & iPhone.  I just upgraded all operating systems and switched from Mobile Me to iCloud.  Everything (new appointments, new contacts) seems to sync as it should with a couple of exceptions;
    1) In the "notes" sections of my CONTACTS I now have triplicates of all of my "notes" for each individual contact (with thousands of contacts it would be impossible to clean this up one at a time).  Does anyone know how to easily fix this so that I only have 1 set of notes for each contact?
    2) Regarding the CALENDARS...in Outlook and the other devices, I'm only running the iCloud calendars (all others are unchecked) however, there are multiple Calendars that seem to have been created.  I've deleted all calendars that aren't necessary or don't appear to be used, however in my iOS devices (iphone & ipad) when I tap the CALENDARS button to open the SHOW CALENDARS pane, I can scroll down and see a section that says "Other" and has a "Birthdays" calendar which is obviously pulling the data from Outlook.  This "birthday" calendar doesn't show up anywhere in Oulook.  95% of my contacts were originally created in Outlook and when known, I have put their birthdays, anniversaries, etc. in the corresponding fields.  Normally, this would create a recurring event/reminder in Outlook but now I have 2 to 4 of the same event in each device.  If I delete the redundant Birthdays/anniversaries, etc. (shown in grey & blue on my  calendar vs. another little icon of a birthday present) on the iOS devices the calendar on Outlook will no longer show these events (90% of the time I'm relying on my Outlook calendar at work for these reminders). I would like to be able to see the same data as only 1 occurence of each event across each of my devices. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

    The problem may be that the iphone is immediately syncing with icloud and losing the newly restored data.  You might turn off your router.  Once restored, turn off icloud on the device, turn on the router, then turn on the iphone.
    (I'm going by memory on this, and that hasn't been too reliable lately.)

    Khaled,

    Try writing a personalization on the PO screen that adds the following condition to the where clause
    "and authorization_status !='APPROVED'
    However, I will be careful with a blanket restriction like this. There are situations when you need to modify an existing PO. So you should code some exceptions for this rule.
    Hope this helps,

    Hi,
    The v10.6.7 "combo" update addresses MAS bugs.  You can download and install from this link.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
    Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

  • How do I prevent Firefox from "cycling" the tabs?

    How can I prevent Firefox from cycling the tabs?
    I like my tabs where they are. I have a good memory. If a tab is at the left, I want it to stay at the left. I do not want firefox to move the activated tab around, under any circumstance. Where there's code in the Chrome to make a tab move without the user dragging it, I want an option to prevent this from ever ocurring. Movement of tabs is very disorienting. I am not talking about scrolling. I am talking about when there are 6 tabs open and the rightmost 5 keep changing places without user interaction.

    You can check the home page setting.
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols
    If you do not keep changes the you can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.

  • How do i make the new tab open with my home page?

    when opening a new tab the page is blank and I would like to have it open with my home page.
    also very frequently firefox does not shut down when logging off. this results in the computer sitting idle using up the battery... using Vista as the OS

    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777
    Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.

  • Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?

    When I open Firefox it is suppose to take me to my Yahoo home page. But it opens up showing my wifes Yahoo sigh in page in stead of mine. Having trouble with Yahoo home page sign in. Some time it brings up my wife's Yahoo log in instead of my log in how can I fix this?

    Did your wife tick the box on the Yahoo sign in page to remember her for two weeks?
    It would be best two have two separate Firefox profile folders, one for each of you to prevent such problems.<br />
    Then you also do not have problems with deleting or changing bookmarks.

  • How can I open safari with multiple home pages

    Hi All
    On my iPhone 4 I always follow the same four websites (2x e-mail, 1x news and 1x sport page).  Is there a way that I can set Safari on the iPhone to open these four pages on startup.  i.e. open up with 4 home pages.
    Thanks in advance
    Sathers

    It strikes me that it should be possible to do that (or something similar) by building a safari extension, TC. Both Sessions and SafariRestore are able to launch multiple tabs from a previous session, so it seems like you should be able to create an extension that launches multiple tabs open to specific sites when Safari is launched.

  • How do I make all new tabs open with my home page?

    When I open a New Tab, it opens with a blank page.
    Is there any setting which will force each New Tab to open with my Home Page?

    New Tab in Home Page: You can modify Firefox with an extension, though I personally would not want that at all, before dismissing a tab I make sure there is nothing in the tab in a backward direction, and would consider looking at anything but a blank page for a new tab as a distracting encumbrance but you can do what you ask for.
    with the following:
