How do I resize the Firefox home page, so that it has very little white area and mostly background persona?

I like the'' personas'', and I would like to see them as the total background, with just a small white box in the middle for Mozilla Firefox's home page. Right now I just see a small strip of the persona on top and a very narrow strip on the bottom, with a Mozilla Firefox logo in a huge white box - not useful and not nice to look at.
Is there a way to change the dimension of the big white box (like moving the dimension of a text box in Word)?
Thank you.

My home page background has a design on it. How can I change it back to its original plain background.

How do I stop the Firefox home page from automatically loading. I have rest my homepage to where I want it. But the Firefox homepage still loads automatically

When I open Firefox, the homepage I set opens...as does the Mozillza Firefox home page which opens in a separate tab. It is an extra tab I DON'T want. How do Is stop it?

The instructions are clear and easy to understand, however, it doesn't always work.
I set my home page to www.google.com (only one tab opened up), clicked OK to save google as my home/start page.
I closed all browsers, started FF and it worked.
However, the next time I started FF it came back with the hooray, your ff is up to date.
I also set my home page to my internal work site URL, same problem.
I'm using version 23.0
I also tried going to google, and dragging the icon at the beginning of the URL to my home page icon. Still doesn't work.

How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc.) to the Firefox home page. It currently only contains a google search box ?

My Firefox homepage currently only contains a Google search box. How do I select features (e.g. news, investment info, sports news etc) to the Firefox home page.

The current build-in Firefox home page about:home doesn't have such extra features. If you need those then change the home page to http://wwww.google.com

How do I disable the Firefox allow page feature.
when I click on allow, it completely knocks me out of the website in which i have to log in again.

Uncertain of your question. If you are getting a re-direct to another page after signing in (common occurence after signing in) check the following setting:
*''Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Advanced > General (Accessibility section), '''un-check''' "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"''
Advanced options panel - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption

Other- You should check your plugins and update as needed.

How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.

Why does the Firefox home page keep telling me I'm up to date when I'm not?

The Firefox home page, found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/ or by redirection from www.mozilla.com or www.firefox.com, tells me my version of Firefox is up to date. It isn't.
I'm currently running 11.0 (and should have 12.0) but this has been happening for quite some time now; that page just seems to always say you're up to date, no matter what.

It's a web site bug. It's been reported as #748741.
To update manually,
# Click the '''Firefox button'''.
# Open the '''Help''' menu and choose '''About Firefox'''.
# Click the '''Check for Updates''' button.

I have somehow deleted the tool bar from the Firefox home page. How do I recover it?

I have somehow deleted the toolbar from my Firefox home page. How can I retrieve it, and hopefully my bookmarks, Tools, etc.

Hello.
Go into View > Toolbars and select the toolbars you want to be displayed. If you don't see the menu bar, simply tap ALT in your keyboard. Rightclicking anywhere in the toolbar will also present you with the menu (don't rightclick stuff that can be rightclicked for other functions, like the back menu or the tabs).

How do I open multiple Firefox home pages? I want all of my different Firefox email accounts open at the same time. I recently upgraded to Win7 and now I have to close and open Firefox to access another email acount!

I want 3 separate, distinct Firefox home pages for each of my 3 email accounts to be open at the same time.

Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs. 
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How do I re-set the Firefox home page address.

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/910351''
It has taken me days to find a way of contacting someone at Firefox to help an avid fan (Me) to get this far so I really hope you can help me.
I downloaded Firefox Aurora about 10 days ago but had a problem with my PC so I reformatted the drive “C” back to zero and now I can’t get Aurora back as it was.
It had the inspiring dark globe with a wonder of options to choose from but I now get the same globe with a great clean and fresh page to start with but a very annoying address that says only “about:home” can you please send me the correct address that should be showing and not a drop down that says “This Website does not supply identity information” If I download My favoured E-Mail client “Incredimail” It will take over Firefox with it’s horrid “MyStart” and the only way I can restore Firefox home page is if I have the correct address. Just encase you identify users by country I live in South Wales U.K.
Thank you

It was normaly me who asked this Q the firt time but I was re-directed to ask again after filling in and joining the forum. The Q is not yet resolved. Give it time Firefox is worth waiting for.

Can I get my msn mail on the Firefox home page?

How many ways can I say it? Want to be able to see my email on my Firefox homepage.

The built-in Firefox home page doesn't have the option to add your mailbox to the existing page. But you can make your mailbox your home page so when you start Firefox or open a new window, that will load automatically.
For example, one way is, while viewing the page you want as your home page, you drag the padlock icon from the left side of the address bar and drop it on the Home button (house icon). This article describes that and other techniques: [[How to set the home page]].
Does that help?

Are we allowed to use the Web developer function in Firefox version 5.0 to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox home page?

Locking at request of OP - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844506
Are we allowed to use the Web developer function, under the "Firefox" tab in Firefox version 5.0, to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox version 5.0 home page ( so that we can personalize the home page )? Is this legal?
Sincerely in Christ,
Russell E. Willis

Solution: (Free Download Manager)
Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.

Since i downloaded your Firefox 4 i have lost Norton 360 safe web taskbar on the firefox home page. can you plese rectify this prblem.

Norton 360 safe web and identity safe task bar is not displayed on firefox home page, since downloading firefox4.

It is down to Symantec to correct their mistake with their add-ons. They originally updated their add-ons after quite a delay to work with Firefox 4.0 as shown here - http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Firefox-4-compatibility-hotfix-is-now-available/td-p/428894
They made an error with the update in only listing it as compatible with Firefox 4.0, so they will not install on Firefox 4.0.1 and subsequent Firefox security updates. Symantec have indicated they will be releasing an update to correct their error soon, for details see http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Norton-Toolbar-not-compatible-with-FF-4-0-1/td-p/442788/page/12

Firefox will install, and open the FIREFOX home page--------------but then is unable to download anything else-WHY

Win7 on DELL XPS9000-----64bit. Successfully run IE, Safari and Chrome. Download Mozilla Firefox 17 (and other versions before 17)
Firefox home page loads----------but nothing else loads! i.e., can not access other pages, such as nbcnews, etc.----Nothing.
My laptop runs firefox nicely; I like firefox--------but I can't wait for the thing to never load.
any suggestions will be appreciated.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
