I can set my default home page (when Firefox starts) but if I open subsequent tabs I get a blank page. How do I set my default home page for all tabs.

I set my default home page to AltaVista.com. This page comes up as expected when I start Firefox. However if I open a new tab I get a blank page. How to I setup Firefox to use my default web page for all subsequent tabs. This was an easy process in IE

Sounds like you want the New Tab Homage extension.

I downloaded Firefox 6, but I cannot open it up because my computer is OSX, how to I reinstall the previous version of Firfox so I can use the internet? Help, hep?

I downloaded Firefox 6 to my OSX desktop, but I am not able to use it open up this latest version of Firefox. Is it possible to upload the previous version of Firefox, if so, how do I do that so that I can get onto the internet? I would appreciate the help
I have been able to update other versions of Firefox, but not Firefox 6

The current version of Jing requires an Intel processor running OS X 10.5.8 or later. The message you're receiving is because the iBook uses the PowerPC platform and not Intel. The last release of Jing that will run on your system is version 2.3, which they no longer support and it doesn't auto update.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Browsing History" if Firefox is closed.

Is it possible to have the new tab page appear by default when Firefox starts?

Can Firefox be set to display the new tab page when starting the browser? In Options > General, the only choices under "When Firefox starts" is show the home page, a blank tab, or restore previous session.
Alternately, can the new tab page be set as the home page?

You can add "about:newtab" to the Firefox shortcut on the desktop.

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Clicking on a link does not open firefox and take me to the page when firefox is my default browser but does when Internet Explorer is my default browser, what is wrong?

All of a sudden (I think after the last firefox update) links in other web pages won't open firefox to access the page when firefox is my default browser but works when I change my default browser to Internet Explorer and I can't figure out why. Help!!!

This problem just arose for me today. Very frustrating. Tried all of the suggestions here without success. Then a very simple solution came to me:
UNINSTALL CHROME. I haven't used Chrome for a long while anyway since it seems to have chronic problems of one sort or another. Firefox does 95% of what I need, and Internet Explorer can handle the other 5%.
After uninstalling Chrome I clicked a mailto link. It asked me what program to use and did not list Firefox as an option for some reason. In the Tools menu, I chose "Options" and went to the "Applications" tab. Searched for "mailto". There was a single entry - when Chrome was installed it gave me no options to switch. After uninstalling Chrome I was able to change that. It still did not list Firefox, but it did list "Gmail". Selecting that causes my Gmail to open in Firefox.
I have no idea whether Google or Microsoft is responsible for this, but I'm inclined to give the hairy eyeball to Google for this one. It's the sort of stunt they'd pull on Microsoft, then pretend it was just a mistake. Just one guy's opinion, of course.

"When Firefox starts:" is set to "Show my homepage", but it still shows the last page visited anyway.

Firefox 20, Ubuntu 12.04, Cinnamon desktop. "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my homepage". I tried settting browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to zero. Still does it. I think it happens mosts often if I log out without closing Firefox first. Does not seem to matter what that last page was. This problem has existed for as long as I have been using Firefox. It seemed to go away at about version 17, but now it is back in version 20 (at least for me).
Possibly, uninstalling all my add-ons or closing all tabs and shutting down in proper sequence would fix it. Come to think of it, going to my homepage and closing all other tabs before I log off would fix it for sure. But, it would be nice if it just worked.
Thanks

If the problem is that your settings are getting reset or failing to save correctly, you could check out this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Have you tested with your extensions disabled for a few shutdown or system restart cycles to see whether that makes any difference?
Less likely:
Could you make sure this preference is set to false: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once]. Usually is.
If you start Firefox with a shortcut, could you make sure there are no command-line options set that could override your default settings?

Firefox 15 does not always load my home page when it starts up.

Started my computer. Clicked on the Firefox icon to start Firefox. My preferences include loading my home page (an html file on my computer) when Firefox starts. I have also set browser.newtab.url to the same thing.
Some of the time, a blank page shows where my home page should show.
My home page should have loaded.
If I click on "new tab", the new tab always seems to load my home page properly. It is only when I first start up Firefox that this problem may occur.
Since this is an intermittent problem, and there is a work-around (clicking on the "home" icon), this is undoubtedly a low-priority bug.

Since the time of Sea Monkey and Netscape, this problem has not arisen for me. It did not happen in Firefox 12. Only when I upgraded to Firefox 15 did this problem start happening. To me, a retired computer programmer, this feels like a regression. I'd guess at either an uninitialized vairable or a race condition.
In any case, Firefox should be able to handle being closed by clicking on the x in the titlebar. I shall continue doing so.
There has never been a hang at exit for me, so that is not something I will pursue.
In addition, since the problem did not occur ever until Firefox 15, I have done the following:
sudo yum downgrade firefox xulrunner
Both are now at firefox 12 level.
To keep things at that level, I've added to /etc/yum.conf the following:
exclude=firefox, xulrunner
I'm certain that my recent actions to downgrade will solve the problem and show that this is a regression.

When I click on a link from a web page opened in Safari I get a blank black screen. Why can't I see the contents of the page?

Is this any link in any page, or one particular link in a particular page?
