How do I return to the default home page?

I have just changed themes on Firefox, and I can't minimize the page - no minimize button. How do I return to the Firefox default page?

Hi FayM-C,
You can go to ''Tools > Add-ons'' and disable the theme you installed. You could also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down ''Shift'' while it is starting and disable all themes and plugins.
Hopefully this helps!

How do I return to the default iTunes MiniPlayer view.

How do I return to the "default" iTunes MiniPlayer view. I'm stuck in the MiniPlayer "album art" view. I can switch out of Miniplayer but I ca't revert back to the "Player Control" view that hides the album art. Thanks in advance-

Doesn't work. It results in a black square where the artwork used to be and a mini square next to the controls. I want the miniplayer to be mini....takes up too much real estate on the screen with the open area for the artwork. And moving the corner in reduces everything, not just the black area.

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.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How can I return to the previous browsing page in the App store?

How can I return to the previous browsing page in the App store?

Thanks for your reply but problem not solved. If I have reached page 5 for example, I can not go back to the previous page 4. Instead it goes back to page 1 when I use the back track arrows, gestures or the back or forward commands!! The girl at my local Apple dealer says that it can't be done. This should be a very basic browsing function in the App Store. I know other people have the same problem.

How do I find the HOME button to bring up the default home page?

I was on Windows Vista and now I have installed Windows 7. I had Firefox Sync working on Vista. I don't seem to be able to get it to work on Windows 7. I have gone thru the instructions on how to get it working on 7 but I don't know how to find the the Firefox Home page to click the Sync button. Also how do I find my recovery key?

Hi psimsic,
You can just type about:home into the address bar and hit enter to get to the default FF home page. You should look at the article [[I've lost my Firefox Sync account information - What to do]] for details on recovering your sync info.
Hopefully this helps!

Using Firefox and trying to get AOL as home page..no matter what I do - facebook home page keeps coming up...any ideas on how to get rid of the facebook home page. Thanks.

I went to AOL page and moved the aol icon to the house....and also went to tools options and changed to the aol address.....all okay until I reboot then the facebook home page comes back.

I'm running Win XP and have found a solution to this problem.
The Norton Utilities software has a 'disk cleanup' function.
I ran this to get rid of all nonwindows code in my computer.
Afterwards, I edited the program registry. using START>RUN
and typing REGEDIT into the dialog box for the program name. Using
the 'edit' function and the 'find' function in REGEDIT, I located all
instances of the string 'searchqu/406',Changing all of them to 'google.com'.
Just for good measure, I ran the registry scanning function in my Norton Utilities software. The problem hasn't come back.
I then changed my homepage back to my ISP's homepage. The problem hasn't come back, even after closing the browser

How to prevent the change of Home page everytime I start Firefox? Claro search starts everytime I start firefox even when I change the default Home page

http://www.claro-search.com/?affID=116677&tt=4612_6&babsrc=HP_ss&mntrId=c66222c1000000000000bc773772d22a
This link becomes my homepage whenever I launch firefox. Even if I change the homepage to one of my bookmarks, on restart it is automatically changed to the above link.

if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
afterwards install the search reset addon, it will revert the most common settings that got modified by adware back to the default ones: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

Firefox now opens with Crawler as the browser how do I return to normal firefox home page withthe google search box?

When I opened firefox the search page just showed Mozilla firefox and had a search inptu boxwih google underneath to show the search engine being used. Suddenly I opened firefox and the page is showing lots of text and is Crawler.com. I have tried to change it back to firefox as it was before but without success. I even uninstalled and reinstalled forefox but it still opensCrawler.com and not mozilla firefox.
Can anyone explain why this has happened and where Crawler.cm came from as I have not downloaded any software with the name crawler, and how can return to the set up that I am familiar wih and prefer.

How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

I work at a community college in upstate NY.
We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
We would do the following:
1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
3. Copy the Folder
C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
To
C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
4. Restart the computer
We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):

How do I set up the 9 "home" pages on the "New Tab"

There are 9 "home" squares to pin 9 sites on the "New Tab", for easy access for favorite sites.
How can I pin these to stay in place, when I cannot even get them to show up in the blank spot?
I know how to "pin" tabs at the top and I know how to "pin" a page on the "New Tab" when it shows up, but I cannot force a page to show up in the blank spot.

I want optimum.online to be the default home page

Ever since I downloaded an update for Adobe, Firefox opens to an msn.com homepage. I would like my optimum.online homepage back.

Your User Agent says you are still running Firefox 3.6, so let's try this.
Open up internet Explorer (make sure firefox is closed). Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com]. Click Download Now, then click "Run". Let the installer download and run through the install. Then you can close IE, open firefox and you should be up to date.
If you still get the issue with your home page, click the firefox button, then options, and reset the home page to default one more time. You should be all good to go then :)

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
…Chris Thurlow…

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.

Change the default home page

I want the the page in the right to be my Home PAGE not the one on the Left ,CAN I DO IT ??
And if it's not possible now..PLEASE MUSE SUPPORT TEAM ADD THIS FEATURE ...

Hi Chandra,
You can do this by over riding the LOGIN service. Your new service defination should look like below.
<td>LOGIN</td>
     <td>Service
          0
          null
          null
          null<br>
          null</td>
     <td>3:prepareRedirect:IdcService=COLLECTION_DISPLAY&hasCollectionID=true&dCollectionID=2::null
</td>
Note: The collectionID can be different for your contribution folder find the collection ID and insert accordingly in the parameter.

I have tried all the available solutions to prevent Foxstar becoming the default home page including uninstalling Firefox/deleting my profile but nothing works

I have nothing to add to the question.

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.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Check for the presence of a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to initialize some prefs.
This also involves the presence of a .js (JScript) file, probably in "defaults\pref" folder, that specifies to read this mozilla.cfg file.
If you have .js files apart from the channel-prefs.js file, that sets app.update.channel, in the defaultspref folder then open this file in an editor like Notepad and please post its content.
Also please post the content of the mozilla.cfg file.
If you have this mozilla.cfg file then best is to do a clean reinstall of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder.
