I downloaded firefox but every time I open it it says like error or something. I press ok & it opens firefox but it sits there forever on the new tab page. What is this?

I'm not really sure what it means. It says: Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features.

See https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Could+not+initialize+the+browser+security+component
Rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) in the Firefox Profile Folder in case there is a problem with the file. 
You may have to rename cert8.db (cert8.db.old) as well. 
Firefox will create new files.
The file cert8.db stores user certificates and intermediate certificates send by websites, so if you have certificates that you want to keep then you may want to export them now and import them after having removed cert8.db.

My recommendation is to download Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7 for Windows to access iCloud.com. It consistently works for me!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
On my Windows 7 systems it appears that some add-ons are causing problems when you try to access iCloud.com with the 32-bit version of IE9, but the 64-bit version seems to work fine, more than likely because there are few add-ons that are 64-bit and the 64-bit version of IE9 can't be the default browser in Windows 7.

How do I prevent the new tab page resetting to default (blank) every time I restart Firefox?

I have used about:config to set the new tab page to the Firefox start page (value = about:home) and clicked OK. But every time I shut down Firefox it resets itself to a blank newtab page.

'''browser.newtab.url''' change the value here

Try:
- Another cable
- Another USB port
- Reboot the computer
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

On Firefox 13 the new tab page boxes are blank no matter how many times I visit a website

I downloaded firefox 13 about a week ago and when I open a new tab the boxes that are supposed to display your most visited webpages don't work, if you go to your bookmark that says "Most Visited" that displays my most visited webpages fine but none of the pages show up on my new tab page. Also if I click and drag one of the websites into the boxes the website name appears but it never loads any picture for the website.
If I don't click and drag the website to one of the boxes then the box is empty....there is no website, nothing. But I've gone to plenty of sites plenty amount of times and it is not showing up
http://i.imgur.com/TWmAU.png --- Here's a image of what I see (to clear up any confusion)

I tried starting it in safe mode and it still wasn't working so I reset firefox back to default everything and the new tab page seems to work now.

The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

Annoying changes in the new tab page of Firefox 31

I just upgraded to Firefox 31 and I've detected two annoying changes in the new tab page.
First, the new search box, I don't need it at all because I use search engines with keywords in the address bar and I'd like to know how to remove it.
Second, I had configured the new tab page to display 42 thumbnails (6 columns and 7 rows) and now it only shows 8 thumbnails. In the about:config the settings are still as I had them but only 8 thumbnails are shown no matter what number is set.
Can anyone tell me how to solve these problems without downgrading?

You may also want to suppress the large margin at the top.
Note tha the his code should be in userContent.css and not in userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>/* about:newtab */
@-moz-document url(about:newtab){
#newtab-margin-top {display:none!important}
#newtab-search-container {display:none!important}
}</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userContent.css (websites) and userChrome.css (user interface) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Paste the code in the userContent.css file

When opening a new tab, IE9 opens a blank page, not the new tab page

I change my settings to open a the new tab page when I open a new tab. This works for one boot of Windows. Second boot, the settings have magically changed back to opening a blank page.
It worked to start with. I only just reinstalled Windows on this computer. Then a few days ago I didn't get my most recent sites when I opened a tab. Changed the settings. Next boot. They had reset.
It seems as if the settings do not save. I had this problem on my older computer as well. Never found a fix.
To clear up misunderstandings (there are some similar posts), when I select a link to open in a new tab, it always works.

Hi ,
In order to clarify the issue clearly, I would like to ask the following questions:
Did you make the steps below to set “When a new tab is opened” to open your first home page?
Open a new tab to your home page in Internet Explorer
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-a-new-tab-to-your-home-page-in-Internet-Explorer
Will the home page change back after the second boot?
Is this setting able to be saved?
Is this your home pc?
What’s the operation system?
Generally, this issue will not persist after reinstalling the Windows.
I would recommend you to perform the steps mentioned below and check if it helps:
1. Temporarily disable all the third party security programs and boot in
Clean Boot to test the issue.
2. I would suggest you to optimizing the internet explorer for better performance and check if it helps.
How to optimize Internet Explorer (Also applicable for IE 9)

Note: Resetting Internet Explorer’s settings is not reversible. After a reset, all previous settings are lost and cannot
be recovered.

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.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Command_Line_Options
*"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" "about:newtab"

My backround on the new tab page is gone. The boxes are there but I mean the actual background. It went away after updating an I wanna fix it.

After updating my Firefox, the background for my new tabs page is gone. The boxes are there. But the rest of the screen is just plain white and I dont know how to fix it.

The background on my new tabs page is white - actually bright grey, which is evidently the default. For changing colors used see
[[Change the fonts and colors websites use]]
Check the '''Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above.''' If unchecked, so only boxes without any content are shown.

I want to change the new tab page - it currently is a list of recent site - i share the computer and find this annoying. would like all tab pages to be same as start page

i want my new tab pages to look the same as my starter page.

Firefox by default uses a blank page for a new tab. Something you installed has changed that action to what you are complaining about. You need to figure out which add-on made that change and disable that add-on or change the preference in that add-on.

Why not? That's essentially all the install does, removes the old version and installs the new version.

Upgrade as follows:
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
You should be sure you have upgraded your hardware if that is required.
