    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.
    See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    To have new tabs open a specific web site, add one of the following extensions:

  • How can I eliminate the amns.startnow page every time I open firefox/google?

    Every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, StartNow is also in the tool bar. How do I stop this?
    I might also say that Search| Firefox Help is also there and is redundant when "help" is also in the tool bar above.

    I don't want to get rid of a tool bar per se. It's the fact that every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, I get a line-up of three pages: Google, Search|Firefox Help and Start Here under the tool bar that shows File------Help. This doesn't happen with IE. Then when I try to close, I always get the question of whether I want to close three tabs. It's just a nuisance.

    hello vimobhana, can you try launching firefox in safe mode by pressing the shift key while it is starting and see if the issue is occurring there too? maybe a theme or hardware acceleration is interfering here...
    if safemode is working, you can try disabling hardware acceleration in firefox > options > advanced > general and or disable addons that might cause the problem. it also would be interesting which graphics hardware (adapter description, driver date & driver version) you are using - you can access this information in firefox > help > troubleshooting information towards the bottom of that page... thank you

    Those are the instructions for your computer's iTunes (i.e. using the Store menu at the top of your computer's iTunes and selecting 'View My Account' on it). If you are doing it on your iPad then are you following the instructions for iOS devices :
    To unhide your purchases
    Depending on the content type, open the App Store, iBooks, or iTunes Store on your device.
    Scroll to the bottom of the main page.
    If you're not already signed in, tap Sign In.
    Tap your Apple ID name, then tap View Account.
    Scroll down on the Account pane, and tap Hidden Purchases.
    Locate the item you would like to unhide then tap the Unhide button.

  • I just installed Firefox 4 from Firefox 3.6.15. Every time I open the browser, it reverts back to 3.6.15 and I have to reload 4 all over again. What gives?

    I installed beta 4 last night. Now, every time I open Firefox it asks me if I want to make Firefox my default browser. I click yes, and it goes to Firefox 3.6.15 and thanks me for upgrading. I have been running 3.6.15 since it was released. I have to reload beta 4 to get back to it again.

    I got this all screwed up too.
    hmm.. where to start?
    3.6 and 4.0 beta - really aren't intended to play well together.
    As has been mentioned above, they tend to write over each other.
    I managed to get both 3.6.15 and 4.0 beta 12 on the same machine.
    But, I had to do it several times.
    I got lucky by deleting everything Mozilla, then installing 4.0b12, then 3.6.15 - while making sure that each installed into a separate folder.
    I also took care to copy out a couple of BookMark BackUp files - just in case.
    My old 3.6# had become so bloated - and, Unstable - for Me, it was time.
    The bookmarks were all that I was still interested in.
    All the Plugins, Themes, AddOns, etc... had slowed the app to a crawl.
    So, I did as complete a wipe of Mozilla bloat code that I could, including profiles.
    I then did some registry cleaning.
    Then I installed 4.0b12 and 3.6.15.
    I can't open them both at the same time.
    If I open 3.6.15 first, then open 4.0b12 - the beta comes up as 3.6.15.
    If I open 4.0b12 first, then open 3.6.15 - the 3.6 comes up as the beta.
    This has a lot to do with both apps sharing the same default profile.
    I hope to drop down to one app in the near future.
    So, cobbling multiple profiles in order to diddle side by side apps - isn't worth it at this stage.
    For me, I can't open FF 4.0b12 when my virus protection is running. PCTools doesn't like some thing about the way FF4.0 wants to phone home when it opens.
    So, I can't commit to the 4.0b12, yet.
    3.6.15 was crashing on open too - until I uninstalled the feedback addon. - go figure -.
    Also, I can't get the 4.0b12 to start in safe-mode with the PCTools antivirus running.
    At the rater they are going, I don't see 3.6.# going away any time soon.

  • A few days ago(after a system restore) the firefox 15.0.1 crashes every time i opened(in a few secondes or in 1-2 minutes)

    a few days (after a system restore )the firefox 15.0.1 chrashing and freezing every time i open it.in a safe mode i dont have any problem ,but i cant find if blame any addon or anything else.im unistalling and reinstall the update or older version(14 ,15.0)but the problem remain.what can i do?i have win 7 ultimate

    If the problems arose after a restore from a Windows restore point you may need to resort to reinstalling Firefox, as sometimes Windows restores have been known to break Firefox.
    Security software including Firewalls is another problem that can slow Firefox or cause it not to work. You need to ensure the security software recognises the current version of Firefox (Again I wonder if a Windows restore may have affected this also.)
    * [[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
    *also see [[Firefox hangs or is not responding - How to fix]]
    If you are getting crashes are you able to provide the Crash IDs for a couple of recent crashes.
    * see [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]] <br/> they can be found by navigating to about:crashes
    Also see
    * [[Firefox does not work - Common fixes to get you back up and running]]
    *[[Configure Windows Firewall to allow Firefox access to the Internet]]
    Apparently you say there is no problem in Safe Mode, if so try Firefox with Hardware Acceleration off, if that helps then instead of leaving it off look at your graphics drivers.
    * see [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems#w_turn-off-hardware-acceleration]]_turn-off-hardware-acceleration
    * maybe your graphics driver rolled back on the restore, and needs reinstalling see [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • Existing domain will not load. iweb starts a new page every time i open it

    iweb will no longer open the existing domain/site that i have been working on. every time i open the program iweb starts a new domain/site. i have tried moving the newly created domain from the iweb folder and opening the existing one, however i web over rides this and continues to create a new domain.
    cheers
    cole

    Try to do the following things:
    • Try deleting the preferences file:
    1. Quit iWeb
    2. Delete the following file:
    User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist
    3. Relaunch iWeb
    If that doesn’t work... Retry it but instead of relaunching iWeb in 3. restart the computer and relaunch iWeb
    • Try repairing disk permissions:
    1. Go to Applications/Utilities
    2. Open Disk Utility
    3. Click Macintosh HD
    4. Click on Verify Disk Permissions
    5. Click Repair Disk Permissions.

  • I get two tabs with my identical home page every time I open Firefox. How do I "unpin" one of them so that only one tab is populated when I open Firefox?

    When I installed Firefox I inadvertently responded "yes" when asked if I wanted to "pin" my home page to the browser. l also designated that page (my Juno page) as my home page. So now whenever I open Firefox, two tabs appear with my identical home page. How do I fix it so that only one tab appears when I open Firefox?

    Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

  • How do I prevent firefox from automatically opening the plugin checker page every time I open the browser because it is damned annoying?

    I don't like being bothered with pages I am uninterested in opening automatically. It's not a service, it's an annoyance. I want to open my home page, not pages of ANY kind that your browser wishes to open for me. Adblocker doesn't seem to work on this plugin checking page. I do not approve of your browser hijacking my system-I decide what pages get opened, not firefox.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]

  • Firefox 8.0.1 hangs every time it opens. Where can I download previous versions of Firefox, please? (Have searched site for an hour)

    Have already tried the various solutions suggested in support pages for this problem. Have also re-installed from full installation file instead of automatic update. Nothing helps.

    Thank you, James. I will certainly use the url you provided to download v8.0 which is what I wanted. (BTW. I wasn't stupid enough to install Aurora when I saw it wasn't the file it was supposed to be.)
    I agree that I should not have had to go to an unofficial download site. I'm well aware of the risks of using such sites. But I searched the Mozilla and Firefox sites repeatedly for several days seeking different version nos of Firefox (including 8.0) and my searches have returned no matches. If Mozilla allowed this url to be found, it would make things much easier.
    I understand the concerns about security vulnerabilities but a version of Firefox that hangs (permanently) as soon as it opens is of no use and does not allow us to search for solutions. In this case, the only option is to downgrade and use that older version to get online and then search for possible solutions to the upgrade problems. It isn't about using the older version indefinitely, just for problem solving so we can upgrade to the latest secure version.
