How do you shut off the opening page of Mozilla's new features?

im getting really pissed off not being able to stop 2 pages from opening when i click on my firefox browser. one page which I want to open up is my yahoo.com page, the other is your new mozilla add ons page. its annoying and im about to stop using Mozilaa because of it. its ridiculous that we can stop it from loading everytime I open my browser. ive tried so many things to stop it. please help and thank you for your time

Do you mean the regular Add-ons page (the one that opens when you press Ctrl+Shift+a) or a page for a specific add-on?
Do you get the unwanted page when you launch a new window (Ctrl+n)?
If so, that can indicate either:
* Your settings list two home pages. These articles will help in clearing that up:
** [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
** [[How to set the home page]]
* One of your add-ons is showing the new page.
If the extra page does NOT appear in a new window, could you test using your Firefox desktop icon a second time without closing Firefox? This should launch a new window.
If THAT new window has the unwanted page, your Firefox shortcut might be hacked. You can check by right-clicking it > Properties > Shotcut tab. The Target for 64-bit Windows 7 should be no more and no less than the following:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
If THAT new window does NOT have the unwanted page, Firefox may be showing a "one time" page and failing to record that it has showed the page, so it keeps doing that one time action at every startup. Have you noticed Firefox having problems remembering any other settings changes? This article has a range of suggestions for addressing this kind of issue: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • HT2307 How can you shut off the option command click shortcut that minimizes all windows?

    I can't find a place to turn off the option click shortcut that minimizes the last window and option command click that minimizes all of the other windows. Is there a way to do this? They don't show up (or I can't find them) in the Dock Preferences or the Keyboard Shortcuts.

    I use Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and that's the zoom shortcut keys with space. If I use another program on my second monitor and go back to that and want to zoom in it minimizes everything else.

  • How do you turn off the Tab page. Changing 'browser.newtab.url' to blank doesn't do it.

    I don't want tabs. How can I turn them off?

    Hello,
    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
    Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • How do i turn off the warning: due to mozilla's security features, a link was blocked?

    the error message was: Security Error

    I have been having the same problem and just found the root cause and solution.
    This is likely caused by the Web Fixer add on. If you have this add on installed, you should have a small icon on the bottom right corner of Firefox (next to the authentication padlock icon) that says Fix. Click this to access the Web Fixer menu and choose Quick Settings --> Change Settings --> Other Options tab. Uncheck the box labeled "Show message on security errors."
    You may need to restart Firefox for the fix to work.
    Hope this helps, this problem was driving me nuts!

    How do I turn off the annoying and frustrating Mozilla Support page when booting up my computer? There ARE NO INSTRUCTIONS ON THE PAGE TELLING HOW TO DO THIS WWHHYYY NNOOTT !!!

    Update Your Firefox to latest version of Firefox 17.0.1
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
    Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

    every time I go to a new site a bar is lowered and ask to update my plugin. I am using mac 10.4.11 G4 The new plugin will not work. How do I shut off the plugin update so I don't get this anoying bar ever time I go to a new web page. If there is no way to shut it off, I'll trash Firefox and go back to Safari. This just started and I'm tired of it.

    to turn off the messages about outdated plugins, enter "about:config" into the address bar of the browser, confirm the info dialog, then search for the preference named "plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin" & double-click it in order to toggle it to "true".
    please also note that firefox 3.6.28 was the last build that ran on a powerpc, however if you want to use an up-to-date browser based on firefox you can switch to "tenfourfox" - the downside is it doesn't support plugins at all

  • How do you turn off the auto grid?

    How do you turn off the auto grid? I read in a forum that the solution is "View- show- turn off grid". But the weird thing is I had to have that website open to even get the alternative up under "View". If I didn´t, there were other alternatives there. Why?
    The second problem is, when I finally got the "Turn off auto grid" alternative up, it will not be unchecked…. I´m working on a mac.
    Thank you in advance!

    Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns VoiceOver off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't do it then there are instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 - you can either do it either directly on the iPad or when connected to your computer's iTunes

  • How do I shut off the lock screen feature on my iPhone 5s?

    How do I shut off the lock screen feature on my iPhone 5s?

    You can turn Auto-Lock off and you can choose not to have the Passcode Lock feature enabled, but there will always "slide to unlock" available after manually turning the iPhone's screen off with the sleep/wake button or with Auto-Lock enabled without having the Passcode Lock feature enabled.
    This is to prevent anything from being selected on the iPhone after the screen has been turned off or or placing the iPhone in sleep mode if the iPhone were in your pocket and the home button or sleep/wake button was selected without your knowledge.
