I want firefox to open automatically on startup

i would like firefox to open automatically on startup

Find your Firefox icon, and drag it to the Start menu, hold and pause, and when the menu appears, drag it up to All programs, hold and pause, and when the All programs list displays, drag it to the Startup folder, hold, and when the contents of that folder displays, drag it across and release.

How to get Firefox to open automatically each time I turn on computer.

You can place a shortcut to the Firefox program in the Startup folder in "Start > Programs" by dragging the Firefox shortcut from the desktop or by dragging the Firefox entry in "Start > Programs > Mozilla Firefox" to that folder (or use Copy/Paste to achieve this).

need to write a shell script that is invoked from /etc/init.d/ and soft link the following:
ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc3.d/S99oracle
        ln -s /etc/init.d/MYoracle /etc/rc2.d/K99oracle

I want Firefox to open to my homepage every time after it crashes. I do not want it to return to the tabs and applications that caused the crash. I am willing to lose information. How do I do this?

Firefox crashes or seizes up when there are too many tabs and applications open, and causes my computer to crash or seize up. I use task manager to close Firefox or I restart my computer. Then, when Firefox restarts again, it automatically re-opens all the tabs and applications that caused the computer to seize or crash in first place. This is a waste of my time. I want Firefox to reopen to my homepage even if it crashes. I am willing to lose information to have Firefox reopen to a low-memory homepage. How do I do this?

Set the Integer pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Firefox 3 opens automatically even though I have downloaded 4; how can I make 4 my default

I want Firefox 4 to be my default

When I switch my Macbook on Firefox 3.16 automatically comes into operation. I have to quit Firefox and then manually find Firefox 4.10 on my downloads screen. I then have to confirm that I want to open this download, click on the firefox image and wait while compatibility is checked. I then have to click on the firefox image again and at last I get Firefox Beta 10. There must be a way of making Firefox Beta 10 my default instead of Firefox 3.16

I want firefox to open the home page when i open a new tab instead of a blank page.

whenever i open a new tab, it shows me a blank page. i want firefox to go to my home page as soon as i click on new tab button.

If you want to have a choice of blank or homepage in a new tab, there is a simple way around this.
Open the Customize window and put the Home button on toolbar if not already.
Use the middle-click (scroll wheel on mouse) on Home button to open your homepage in a new tab, whenever you want homepage to load in a new tab.

Want Firefox to open new links in current tab, not to open in new tab.

With one of the new updates, Firefox opens a new tab when going to a new link, rather than opening link in the current tab, the way it did in earlier versions. I know I can choose open new tab or open new window in Preferences, but I want to just open the linnk in the current tab. Now, in a very short amount of time, my tab bar is filled with a glut of tabs. I prefer to use back page or forward page to retrace my steps, and to open up a new tab just when I want to open a new tab. This new default for tabbing contradicts the concept of making tabbing for your own organizational behavior.

Click the orange Firefox button, and click "Options". This will bring up a new window with a "Tabs" tab at the top. Click that. There will be several checked boxes, including one called "Open new windows in a new tab instead" up at the top of the list. Uncheck that box and you should be good to go.
ETA: This should also work if you click "Tools" and "Options" within your version.

Mail Opening Automatically At Startup... On Laptop Only

I'm having an interesting issue with my Mac setup, that I see has happened to others as well:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8750623&#8750623
Here's my problem: the Mail application opens automatically on every system startup on my MacBook (first gen, 10.5.6) but does not do so on my Mac Mini (also on 10.5.6, 1.83 Intel Core Duo)
I have tried everything to find out what's happening. Here's what I've tried:
1. "Login at Startup" is not checked in the dock icon
2. It isn't in /Library/StartupItems
3. It is not added in the Login screen in System Preferences
4. I've repaired permissions
5. I've emptied all caches/etc
6. I even checked startup items in Lingon, couldn't find anything
7. I even tried a full erase and install on the MacBook
None of these worked. Even after the erase and install, my MacBook still loads Mail upon startup, when my Mini does not.
I've read in a few threads that if you have iCal set up to send email reminders, that could be contributing to this problem. That's annoying but at least it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that it happens on only my laptop. Apparently, the other person who posted this problem is having the same issue (see link above.)
To elaborate further, I have two accounts in iCal - one for personal, and one for Google Calendar, which is synced over CalDAV.
Strangely enought, I have some email reminders that are sent from one email address, and some from another. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as far as to which email account is used to send the reminders.
Can anyone help with these two issues? I'll be willing to provide any further information if asked.

I have the same problem on my Macbook. I really hate Mail (I used it IMAP with Gmail and didn't like the way it handled at all) and was so frustrated with the pop-ups at login that I deleted Mail and all its related files -- and then program finder started popping up at login asking where mail had gone! I just deleted my calendars from iCal and am hoping that will make it stop. Don't know why it's so annoying, but it certainly is.

Mail app opens automatically at startup

For the past few weeks, the apple Mail program has been opening automatically upon starting my computer or login. I've never set this as a preference and have not found anywhere to turn it off in either the Mail or system preferences. I have also checked startup items and it is not listed there, either. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but when Mail starts up automatically like this, sometimes the mailboxes seem to have problems loading and I have to restart the program to fix them. This automatic startup began spontaneously, so I'm assuming it's a result of a software update. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know how to turn the automatic startup feature off? Also, this has been happening ONLY on my 15" MacBook Pro and NOT my iMac 24", even though they both have OSX 10.5 Leopard. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have this exact same problem and have posted a thread with more details here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1891438&tstart=0
This is happening on my MacBook but not my desktop Mac Mini, just as in your situation, and I also have email reminders set up in iCal.
Hoping a Mac expert out there can help us!

I want firefox to open windows live mail composer when I hit the maito: on a webpage. How do I get that to happen?

I have firefox 4 and windows live mail. I would like firefox to open a composition window so I can write an email when I hit the mailto: links on a webpage.

Problem solved, I went into Mail> Prefrences> and changed my default mail reader! Thanks!

I use to close Firefox and it would ask me if I want to save those selections. Now It wipes them out and I want Firefox to open back up with what i closed it on.

Fire fox use to remember the pages I had up when I closed it. Now it just opens with my home page/

Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
# Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
# Go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

I want firefox to open Microsoft XPS files rather than use Internet Explorer

Microsoft's XPS file format (their take on PDF files) can be opened only by Internet Explorer. Does a plugin exist to allow XPS files to be opened in Firefox - if so I can't find one. I would have thought this was a common request!
To avoid having to deal with the time consuming "open with" dialogue I have made IE the default browser but I'd rather use Firefox.

Please see this support article on [[Session Restore]]. Follow the instructions under the "Configuring session restore" header. When you get to the step where it says "Show my windows and tabs from last time" you can choose from showing your homepage or showing a blank page instead.

When I click on links in my emails, I want firefox to open them, but nothing happens, how do i get it to do this.

Google chrome installed itself on my computer by mistake, and started opening up when I clicked links in my emails. So I uninstalled G.Chrome. But now when I click on the links in emails, NOTHING happens. How can I get Firefox to again open up those links when I click on them.

I have been having the same problem. Links work in Outlook for both Chrome and IE but not Firefox. I have tried a number of things including restarting my computer, editing the registry etc. Oddly, when I edited the registry, the links did work for a while but then I proceeded to get the same error as before.

My tabs always open to a blank page. I want every new tab to open to my home page. Note: I DO NOT want Firefox to open with multiple tabs on my home page; I only want my home page to open whenever a click a new tab. How do I do this? Thanks.
