I can't get it to set a blank home page, and the instructions given for this don't work.

The instructions say that if you want a blank home page, you should open a new tab, then click on the icon to the left of the space where the website name would be and drag it to the Home icon. Unfortunately, when I click on that icon, I can't grab and move it.

Instructions work for me that you describe from
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
perhaps drag the mouse a little faster.
You could just just use '''about:blank''' as your home page

  • How can I get Firefox to go directly to home page and not to how to syn page as I do not want to syn anything

    whenever I now go to mozilla firefox, it opens the whats new, or how to syn ? I don't have anything to sync, just want to go to the Home page I selected

    Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''''about:config'''''.
    If a warning screen comes up, press the '''''Be Careful''''' button.
    This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
    At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    and press enter. '''''browser.newtab.url'''''
    tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
    If you want, right click and select '''''Modify'''''. You can change the
    setting to;<BR><BR>about:home (Firefox default home page),<BR>
    about:newtab (shows the sites most visited),<BR>
    about:blank (a blank page),<BR>
    or you can enter any web page you want.<BR><BR>
    The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
    '''''browser.startup.homepage'''''.

  • I can't open i tunes, I've followed the instructions given on this site but it still won't open

    I can't open I tunes, I've folowed the instructions given on this site but it still won't open. Any alternative suggestions?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Storeand turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • How do I get back my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Tool Bar?

    I am a senior citizen with little computer knowledge. I cannot cope with changes to my home page because I do not have the knowledge/skills to undo the changes your program has installed.
    AT&T is my Internet Service Provider. Firefox is my browser. Right? When I installed the newer version of Firefox it usurped my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Task Bar. I want my old home page and task bar back.
    I used system recovery to go back a couple hrs. prior to when the new Fire Fox was installed and lost Firefox & At&T. Was in a great state of frustration when I couldn't get system recovery up after going to control panel. System recovery finally popped up again and I went forward to after installation of new Fire Fox and have system up again.
    I am unable to read up on new Fire Fox program now. All I want is my old AT&T Yahoo Home Page back with their Task Bar. I can learn new Fire Fox as time permits.
    For a non-profit organization I find Fire Fox quite aggressive. That is good when mobilizing us to write or call Congress but not to take over my Home Page.
    Will have to admit new Fire Fox sure is faster.
    I do want to commend you for taking a stand against what Congress is trying to do and also for your non-intrusive, not obnoxious way of asking for donations. You help inform us and let us know of your need and anyone that is not a free loader with a conscience, I think, would make a donation according to what one can afford. Keep up the good work and the good fight..........please do help me restore my home page back to AT&T with the old task bar.
    I appreciate all the help you can give me. Please excuse this long note.
    Blessings, Helen
    Added Note: AT&T home page returned. Still need Tool Bar. Troubleshooting information from Firefox help for Tool Bar below. Also info to restore Refresh and Home icon below.

    This is the answer from Firefox Help to get Tool Bar back up:
    Why are the menus (File, Edit, View, etc.) missing?
    If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
    To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key.
    To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
    Menu Bar - Win
    Pressing the Alt key didn't work for me but the latter instruction did the trick.
    Check the Navigation Bar too on the pop-up menu if you want your Refresh and Home Icons to show. It took quite a few right-clicks for me before the pop-up menu I needed came up so keep trying until the right menu comes up.

  • Bearshare was downloaded to our home computer. Now it has taken over my Firefox homepage and I can't get rid of it. I have tried changing the homepage via Tools, Options. Didnt work. Deleted the Bearshare app and cookies and web history. Still didnt work.

    Tried resetting default setting via Firefox Safemode. Didnt work. Any suggestions.?
    My situation is 2 home computers (Windows XP) sharing 1 modem, but have their own apps. Mozilla on the other computer is fine. Just this one which Bearshare was downloaded to.
    It took over the Homepage in IE too, but I was able to change it using Internet Options.
    The message which comes up when I try to change the Homepage is "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked"
    Tks

    You only get an alert stating "An attempt to change the homepage has been blocked" if you have security software or an extension that is protecting against such a change. Firefox doesn't do that by itself. If starting in [[Safe mode]] didn't help then that only leaves security software, so you need to look to see how you can allow a home page change.

  • Despite setting "open my home page" in the Tools Options General Startup, Firefox insists on a blank tab.

    I'm using Firefox 4.0 with TabMixPlus and AdBlock Plus on Windows XP Home, SP3. When I log in as a local administrator in Windows, new tabs open correctly and display a home page, but when my non-admin users (mother-in-law!) run Firefox, the application insists on a blank tab. It also shows a bizarre "nested" view with two sets of Windows title bars stacked at the top of the screen.
    There's a weird orange "Firefox" dropdown menu atop the second one, and it's full of cool options... none of which does a thing to change this behavior.
    Short of giving my mother-in-law admin privileges, how can I get Firefox to respect her GUI choices?

    New tabs open by default a blank tab, so it looks that you have an extension that opens the home page instead.
    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/
    Quote: ''It also shows a bizarre "nested" view with two sets of Windows title bars stacked at the top of the screen. ''
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See:
    * [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

  • Why do I get multiple tabs when I go to my home page and the all display server error

  • When I start up firefox I get two windows that open in succession, one with my 'home page' and the other with the site I am seeking. How do I stop this?

    This only occurs when I first open Firefox. Using tabs once I am down to one window does not open a new window.

    Do you have both those pages set as your Homepages?

  • Firefox keeps losing password setting on my home page and i have to keep logging in all the time

    Whenever I start Firefox it goes to my homepage, however it cannot remember my settings although it was saved and ticked to remember it, Even after logging it, Firefox will sort of log out of the page and I have to log in again. Thought it was my yahoo setting, tried it on explorer and do not have this problem.

    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * You need an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep that cookie, especially for secure websites and if you let cookies expire when Firefox closes
    * Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.
    * Make sure that you not run Firefox in (permanent) [[Private Browsing]] mode
