I can't get firefox to pull up last sites, also there is no blank page option

Firefox used to pull up last websites that were open in prior session. It no longer will do this, also there is no option for blank page. I went into tools and options, checked when firefox starts open last websites and tabs, but it won't do that. I'm using win 7, 64bit. Can anyone please help?
Thanks

  • I can't get Firefox to load. When I click on the icon the page doesn't load and it is not responding

    My FF stalled so I closed the window. When I click on the ff icon, the page comes up but the page is blank and when I right click the f icon it says the application is not responding

    From your question I am going to assume that this is the first time that you've encountered this issue. Applications, like Firefox, can become responsive for various reasons. I would suggest killing the Firefox process. If you're not familiar with the steps to do so you can simply reboot your system.

  • How can I get Firefox to execute html code in a text file?

    I used Notepad to create a text file, markup.html, that contains html code. How can I get Firefox to execute this code?
    Also, how can I use the <script> tag in the html code using the src attribute to execute code in a file written in Javascript?

    First guess is that you did not use an .html extension on the file. The file may well be ''name.html.txt''

  • I have tried all can not get firefox to search for website

    I run Windows XP.
    It all began with the fiollowing error - "could not load xpcom. From there I redownloaded and installed - the foillowing scenario followed on this.
    I can not get firefox to connect to the net.
    I re downloaded and installed firefox, 3 times, no difference.
    My home page shows on my desk top screen - but it clearly does not work as it will not do any searches and connect to other websites.
    When trying to use in "Options" it closes the firefox home page, as though I had exited it.
    I have now spent 2 days reading and trying all as given in firefox help and community forum - nothing I read fits the bill, or has been of any assistance.
    The search field is empty and I can not get it to accept a search engine name like google or any other. I know firefox has a choice - but the pull down choice menu does not open.
    I am now at a total loss and desperate to get back to work having wasted 22 days already trying to repair same.
    I tried the automatically install add ons as per this very "automatically add" button, but it says Firefox can not modify the required file.
    Please help I am desperate!

    As I said, I have read about all.
    There is no solution there for me - I am not an internet guru and must be honest some of the solution provided seem high tech and beyond me - they refer to certain aspects of the system which I do not see on my computer.
    I would like some one to give me a step by step solution if there is one.
    It began as follows when I tried to open firefox...
    It told me (for some reason) about 5 days ago ..."could not load xpcom."
    I have read and read and eventually found what I thought would be the solution. - Reinstall.
    I re downloaded/installed the latest version of Firefox. Now the page opens but it is inert - does no searching and does not accept any search engine addition - neither does it provide a choice of search engine as it used to do.
    I USED THE FIREFOX PAGE ABOUT 5 DAYS AGO SAME COMPUTER.
    I can open various url's which i have saved for research purposes and also things like my bank account to do tfrs. No problem.
    My email also works fine.
    For some reason the newly installed version of Firefox does not see the internet or react to anything - (have reinstalled 3 times) -neither does it accept anything one types into the search field - when I click to activate the search it simply deletes it.
    I need some "help fpr dummies" please
    Thank you for your interest to help - much appreciated.

  • How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??

    How can I set home page for a new tab? how can i get firefox to open the home page every time i open a new tab in Windows vista home basic??
    == 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:

    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.

    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.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance

  • When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

    How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

    Hello,
    That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
    The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
    If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
    * [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
    I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
    Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

  • How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?

    How can I get Firefox to search my computer for plugins that are already there?
    Adobe's Flash player is already on my computer from IE 8. How can I get Firefox to see that it is already on my PC and use it so I don't have to download it again and possibly create other problems. Also, in my efforts to download Flash, Firefox activated IE which made me concerned that proceeding WOULD cause problems our just leave me where I am now where IE can use Flask but Firefox cannot.

    Internet Explorer uses a ActiveX version of the Flash player plugin as it does not work with other browsers.
    Download the Plugin-based browsers version from https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html and make sure Firefox is closed when you install it.

  • In my received emails, how can I get Firefox to open URL links that begin with "click."?

    In my emails, how can I get Firefox to open links that begin with the word "click."? Instead of giving the me the message that says, for example, "Firefox can't find the server at click.americas.links.hp.com." This also happens when I try to open the links using Explorer.

    This link was not valid when I clicked it. Please contact the person sending these links they do not seem to work. The page takes me to a page that says it will load after 5 seconds, however there is not valid link.
