  • How do you get the home page to stay the same when you reload your firefox after changing homepage

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/833594]</blockquote>
    We previously had google as our main home page then tried a page called bearshare. Now we want to change the home page back to google. I have tried numerous times typing in the new home page under tools, options then general tab and when we close firefox and then reopen the page it loads bearshare again so we go back to tools option again and it has automatically changed back to bearshare. We are running windows xp on our system and prefer google but bearshare is annoying as it doesn't find alot of kids games sites that we can get through google. Please help what do we do to stop it from changing back all the time?

    Type '''''about:config''''' in a new window address bar. Click ''''''I will be careful'''''.
    You will see all kinds of information that Firefox uses so it knows how to
    work. There is a search bar at the top of the page. Type ''''''browser.startup.homepage'''''' and check its entry. You can change it to what
    ever web page you want, or you can enter; ''''''about:blank'''''' for a blank page.
    I use the Firefox home page; '''''about:home'''''. After, go back to the search bar
    and type; '''''browser.newtab.url'''''. This is what a new tab page will display.
    Do the same thing here. You can have the same for both or have each open to
    different pages.

  • Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is still running and not responding close firefox...

    Even after uninstalling, reinstalling Firefox, the Firefox profile folder is empty, and I get the message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." I have followed all the directions I can find, on my computer and Firefox Support. Still, the same message comes up, and "firefox" is not shown in my Windows Task Manager.
    What can I do?

    Delete the profiles.ini file and let Firefox create a new default profile.

  • How do I know which add-ons have been validated as safe? When clicking "Add to Firefox" I get the scary warning window about only using add-ons from trusted

    The scary warning that appears when I click "Add to Firefox" for a certain add-on discourages me from actually installing it.
    "Install add-ons only from authors whom you trust. Malicious software can damage your computer or violate your privacy . . . (author not verified)"
    In particular, I'm interested in the Password Exporter add-on. I want to be especially cautious as this will access all my passwords stored in Firefox. How do I actually know if an add-on is safe or not?

    If you are talking about "Password Exporter 1.2.1", it's safe as I have been using that add-on for years and love it.

  • How can I integrate add-ons into a PDF (Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), such as Babylon English Dictionary?

    How can I integrate the Fox add-ons into a PDF (Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox), such as Babylon English Dictionary? Many PDF do support my add-ons. BTW, the PDF in question is one that I have uploaded to my web site.

    Babylon would need to support Adobe Acrobat for that to happen.

  • My firefox version is 3.6.12, however I cannot download any add-ons cause it says I am still using version 2, and it is the same for website such as youtube where it is always saying I am using a outdated browser. How do I solve this?

    I keep updating my firefox whenever it prompts me to, and now I am using version 3.6.12, but I still cannot download any add-ons or have problem using youtube cause they still says I am using a older version of the browser.
    But when I go Help > About Mozilla Firefox, I am sure I have the latest version and no more updates can be found.

    You have or had an extension installed (MegaUpload toolbar) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.12 to Firefox/2.0.0.13
    You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page:
    * general.useragent.extra.firefox Firefox/2.0.0.13 MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
    You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.<br />
    Filter: general.useragent<br />
    If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

    Your above posted system details show multiple Java Console extensions.<br />
    You can uninstall (remove) the Java Console extensions and disable the Java Quick Starter extension, you do not need them to run Java applets.

  • Firefox opens with a window that says "Checking for compatibility for Add-ons" then it always opens 2 tabs... one with my home page and one that says Congratulations, Firefox is up to date. How can I stop it from starting that way?

    Hi konee,
    You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
    If that doesn't work:
    # Type about:config in the address bar
    # Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
    # In the Filter input field type ''startup''
    # Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
    # Delete the text string and click ''OK''
    # Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I add Multiple Home pages to open when I open FireFox?

  • I want to remove an add on becauase I've been having problems with FIrefox locking up since I installed. How the heck does one remove an add-on. I hate to be stupid but I cannot figure out how to uninstall an add on

    I've been having problems with Firefox 4.0 locking up pretty much since I installed it. I did add a few add-ons and all I can think of to do is to remove them. I can't figure out how to get rid of them.

    Well, When I click on Add-ons I don't get a list of add-ons. AN Add-ons tab opens which shows lots of other great add-ons but I can't get a list os ones that I've installed and have no option to remove. I'm on version 4.0. Maybe the "remove" as described is for an earlier version?
    Nevermind, figured it out. Had to click on "Extensions" on the left side of the page to get the list
    Thanks

  • How do I get a listing of every add-on in a category in the new, poorly designed "Add-ons" web page?

    When I go to the add-ons page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/) and select a category I get three items at the top, none of which are any use, and three columns of "Recently Added", "Top Downloads" and "Top Rated". I may be looking for an older add-on, a bit specialist, so not popular, and maybe not overall well rated, but right for my purposes. Moreover these listings give no synopsis and the page.
    With the old search engine I could enter a category and immediately get a list with all available add-ons, with synopsis, and use my own intelligence to decide what I wanted.

    No use at all with Firefox 4. If the search box is left empty "Please fill in this field" is returned.

    It sounds like you restored from an old back-up.  Did you back-up just before your software update?  It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
    In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
    Sorry for your losses.

  • When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

    When I downloaded the new Firefox about a week or two ago all my bookmarks, and add-ons disappeared and I want you to give them back to me asap?

    You shouldn't wait that long to ask advice. Firefox only keeps a (rotating) backup of bookmarks for the last 5 days that you started Firefox. So you may be out of luck.
    You can check that you still use your old default profile that had your bookmarks.<br />

    For the extension, see "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

    You can use the Tab key to select a search engine on the bottom bar and press Enter to use the search engine to do the search.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Search+bar
    In the current Firefox 34 release there is a new "one-off" search bar.
    This search bar doesn't show the name of the search engine and a logo.
    You can type one letter to make a drop-down list appear where you can see suggestions and see the used search engine and that also has bar at the bottom where you can select other search engines that are enabled via the Search tab in Options/Preferences.
    You can use the Tab key to select one of the other available search engines and press the Enter key to search with the selected search engine.
    Click the search engine icon and click "Change Search Settings" to open the Search tab in Options/Preferences (positioned between Tabs and Content) to select the default search engine and select which search engines to show in the search bar drop-down list that opens when you start typing search terms.
