I want Google as my primary browser when I open the firefox start page

When I open the firefox start page and type a question, the answer is provided by Ask.com. I don't want ask.com to be my primary browser on this home page. I want Google. How do I make Google my primary browser on the firefox start page?

I did manage to paste that code in the location bar and for that brief episode I had a google search engine for the fire start page. However, when I closed id down and re-booted the page, it reverted to ask.com as the primary search engine so that really did not solve my problem. By the way, the start page that I have does not show google to the left of the large central bar of the start page. I wonder if I should uninstall google 7 and reinstall it? I probably would lose my favorites and I don't want to lose them by doing this. Somewhere in this computer ask.com is flourishing just like a virus. I removed it's toolbar permanently both in extensions and in the programs section to no avail.

How do I stop Firefox from opening the Firefox start page as a tab when I open the browser?

New Dell Laptop and new Firefox download. Have used Firefox for several years. This time it loads the Firefox Start Page automatically as a tab every time I open the browser. I can't find how to turn it off. I did not set it up to do this intentionally.

See the [[Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox]] article for details of how to solve this.

Firefox opens a dialog box when I use the browser, "Checking add-ons for compatibility..." then open the Firefox start page along with my homepage. I do not want the Firefox page when I open the browser. how do I stop this?

Since Firefox updated it checks add-ons every time I open Firefox. The Firefox homepage then opens along with my home page, two tabs. I want the checking to stop. This has not happened before--only with this update.

Updated to Firefox 21 and when I open the firefox browser it ask me to update to the latest version

I finally updated to Firefox 21 and today when I opened the Firefox browser, my google homepage looks odd and a large message from Firefox appears saying I need to update to the latest version of Firefox. I double checked the version and I have version 21.
I also don't know if this has anything to do with my current problem. A pop up window is suddenly appearing just after I turn on my PC, at first I thought it was triggered by Firefox. It's a security warning saying the certificate from GEOtrust SSL CA isn't a trusted certification authority for javadl-esd-secure.oracle certificate. I just find it odd that this message just started a few days ago and now after updating Firefox to the latest version, it's still telling me to update. Thanks

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How do I get to the firefox start page (that says Google)?

When I click on the Firefox icon on my XP desktop, I just get a blank page. Sometimes it just goes to Yahoo.
I just want the Firefox start page that has Google (blank). Because that is where my bookmarks are.

Look at the top of the Firefox where it says '''File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Help''' and click on the Tools ->Options ->General
If you have the Menu bar hidden and have a orange Firefox button then click on the an look to righe side of that menu where it says "Options"
If you want the Firefox start page as home page then set it as
http://www.google.com/firefox/

Please assist, my notebook updates automatically with the latest version of firefox, which was done, thereafter i am having problems when i open the firefox

My notebook is set to update Firefox automatically which it did last night. Since the update, when i open the Firefox browser, it opens up several tabs after the home page. I am also unable to copy of the page, when i do try it opens up the very same page in another tab. Also i am experiencing problems with my Microsoft office programs, since the Firefox update was done. I am unable to open documents within the programs, when i do click to open a new document or try to open an old document, it automatically closes the program. My operating system is Windows 7 home Basic, 32-bit operating system.
Please help, thank you.

If you don't usually get a choice of where to save a downloaded file, you can change that using:
Edit > Preferences > General > "Always ask me where to save files"
Then you may want to go directly to the source:
http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
You should get the options to Save File or Cancel (not Open). Hopefully after saving you will be able to find the downloaded file in the location you specified.
One other note, before upgrading, you may want to back up your Firefox settings just in case. [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].

When I open the print command page it's blank

When I try to print an online pdf document that I see on my screen and press the appropriate button to send the command to my printer (or use CTRL +P), I get the Adobe printer command page totaly devoid of words. Just buttons with no labels. The boxes for showing which pages are to be printed show but no words. Pressing the button I figure must be the print command allows me to print the entire document, even if I only want one page. I have deleted Reader entirely and reloaded it. Same problem.

I am using Adobe Reader X, version10.1.2
This is one of the two versions of the print command page I get. I got this by using CTRL+P. The fade in commands on hover commands at the bottom of the page of the pdf document would not work - no response at all. I will see if I can create the other empty printer command page after I send this one.
Thank you for responding

Which version of Adobe Reader is installed on your system? Also, would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of the print dialog you are receiving.

How can I open the taps(now) when I open the firefox next time?

How can I open the taps(now) when I open the firefox next time?

There is no way to programitically bring up the dialog window for the timestamp control. I recommend building your own dialog window VI that will work by opening when you want the user to set the time and when it closes, it can programatically update the timestamp control. It will not be as pretty but it will be just as functional.

I have lost the Firefox start page, so can't access the Firefox tab. I keep getting Ask, which I don't want

For some reason I have started to get a blank type page, rather than the Firefox start page when I open firefox. The blank page has no firefox tab at the top left so I cannot access any of the firefox features by the tab. Also the blank page does not show my bookmarked websites which is an inconvenience. Whenever I type in a search word, the results come up in a page of information promoted by 'Ask"'. I don't want this. I don't know how this has happened but I cannot seem to find a fix. I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled to see if this would work, but it has not. Can someone help please.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Since one of the Firefox updates this past week my homepage defaults to the Firefox Start Page when I reboot. Setting homepage in Options is retained thoughout session but appears to disappear on restart. Anyone else have this problem?

Starting Firefox after system startup brings up the Firefox Start Page. When I go to Options under the General tab the Homepage box is blank. I can add it again and everything is fine until next system restart. I am using Firefox 3.6.12

A picture that was saved in a word document is not showing when I open the document in Pages. Is there a way to recover the image, or a specific type of file that Pages only recognizes?

My professor posted the course syllabus online and at the time, I was using OpenOffice. Whenever I opened the document the image would show perfectly fine, but I switched over to Pages because it had a template I know one of my professors wants a project to be done in. When I opened the same document in Pages to see if it would look the same, the error box popped up and said the image could not be imported and there was a blank box where the picture should have been. My question is, is there any way that I could somehow get the image to show or was it saved in a format that Pages doesn't recognize?

Open the document with Open Office. Select and Copy the image. Paste it into Pages.
If that doesn't work,
Open the document with Open Office. Select and Copy the image. Launch Preview. Press command-N (New document from Clipboard). Save the Preview file as a PDF or JPEG, as appropriate. Insert that in Pages.
Regards,
Barry

When I open the Firefox browser, there is a bar stating, "This page requires a plugin that can only run in 32-bit mode" and asks me if I want to restart the browser in 32-bit mode. What do you recommend I do? Thank you.

I do not have any idea what plugin they are talking about.

Previous versions of Firefox were only 32 bit, Firefox 4 for the Mac contains 32 and 64 bit versions. If you want to always start Firefox in 32 bit mode, open up Finder and go to the Applications folder. Control-click the Firefox app and click "Get Info", then select the "Open in 32-bit mode" option.

I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?

When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started about a week and a half ago.

Hello Linda.
I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

Hello Support Mozilla,
I use firefox 25 on windows 8 PC and I am using this browser from past 2 months and yesterday I downloaded firefox Nightly and then used it as a browser. Today when I start opening browser then its not opening. Does the both firefox and nightly wont work in a single PC ???? I could use Internet Explorer & Google Chrome browsers, but the firefox browser is not loading.

You need to take care to use separate profiles when using multiple versions of Firefox.
We will need more information about your problem but mean while maybe this general information will help. Besides telling us about any error messages please also say exactly what you have tried; to fix the problem, and whether you now have multiple Firefox profiles set up.
