I want optimum.online to be the default home page

Ever since I downloaded an update for Adobe, Firefox opens to an msn.com homepage. I would like my optimum.online homepage back.

Your User Agent says you are still running Firefox 3.6, so let's try this.
Open up internet Explorer (make sure firefox is closed). Go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com]. Click Download Now, then click "Run". Let the installer download and run through the install. Then you can close IE, open firefox and you should be up to date.
If you still get the issue with your home page, click the firefox button, then options, and reset the home page to default one more time. You should be all good to go then :)

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

How do I find the HOME button to bring up the default home page?

I was on Windows Vista and now I have installed Windows 7. I had Firefox Sync working on Vista. I don't seem to be able to get it to work on Windows 7. I have gone thru the instructions on how to get it working on 7 but I don't know how to find the the Firefox Home page to click the Sync button. Also how do I find my recovery key?

Hi psimsic,
You can just type about:home into the address bar and hit enter to get to the default FF home page. You should look at the article [[I've lost my Firefox Sync account information - What to do]] for details on recovering your sync info.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I set the default home page in Firefox 4 for all users that login to a PC on a Win 7 PC?

I work at a community college in upstate NY.
We use Firefox as the default browser at our institution and we have always set the default homepage to be our homepage for all users that login to the PC. We had a procedure to to that that worked with Windows XP and FF 3 or earlier
We would do the following:
1. go to: c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla\FireFox\Profiles\<profile_name>\prefs.js
2. Add the line: user_pref (“browser.startup.homepage”,”http://www.genesee.edu”);
3. Copy the Folder
C:\Documents & Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Mozilla
To
C:\Documents & Settings\Default User\Application Data\Mozilla
4. Restart the computer
We're going to Win 7 and Firefox 4 and things seem to be different in terms of files and file structure. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):

How to prevent the change of Home page everytime I start Firefox? Claro search starts everytime I start firefox even when I change the default Home page

http://www.claro-search.com/?affID=116677&tt=4612_6&babsrc=HP_ss&mntrId=c66222c1000000000000bc773772d22a
This link becomes my homepage whenever I launch firefox. Even if I change the homepage to one of my bookmarks, on restart it is automatically changed to the above link.

if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
afterwards install the search reset addon, it will revert the most common settings that got modified by adware back to the default ones: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

Change the default home page

I want the the page in the right to be my Home PAGE not the one on the Left ,CAN I DO IT ??
And if it's not possible now..PLEASE MUSE SUPPORT TEAM ADD THIS FEATURE ...

Hi Chandra,
You can do this by over riding the LOGIN service. Your new service defination should look like below.
<td>LOGIN</td>
     <td>Service
          0
          null
          null
          null<br>
          null</td>
     <td>3:prepareRedirect:IdcService=COLLECTION_DISPLAY&hasCollectionID=true&dCollectionID=2::null
</td>
Note: The collectionID can be different for your contribution folder find the collection ID and insert accordingly in the parameter.

I have tried all the available solutions to prevent Foxstar becoming the default home page including uninstalling Firefox/deleting my profile but nothing works

I have nothing to add to the question.

You can check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default values.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_preferences
Check for the presence of a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to initialize some prefs.
This also involves the presence of a .js (JScript) file, probably in "defaults\pref" folder, that specifies to read this mozilla.cfg file.
If you have .js files apart from the channel-prefs.js file, that sets app.update.channel, in the defaultspref folder then open this file in an editor like Notepad and please post its content.
Also please post the content of the mozilla.cfg file.
If you have this mozilla.cfg file then best is to do a clean reinstall of Firefox and remove the Firefox program folder.

How do I return to the default home page?

I have just changed themes on Firefox, and I can't minimize the page - no minimize button. How do I return to the Firefox default page?

Hi FayM-C,
You can go to ''Tools > Add-ons'' and disable the theme you installed. You could also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down ''Shift'' while it is starting and disable all themes and plugins.
Hopefully this helps!

Setting the System Default Home Page

Hello everyone... i've created a root page with some portlets on it...
what i am trying to do is to set this root page as default for a particular user.
i found some steps online but it doesn't seem to work...
here is what i was trying to do:
To set a user's default home page:
In the Portal User Profile portlet, in the Name field, enter the user name of the user for whom you want to assign a default home page.
By default, the Portal User Profile portlet is on the Administer tab of the Portal Builder page.
Click Edit.
Next to the Default Home Page field, click the Browse Pages icon to see a list of pages from which to choose.
Click Return Object next to the page you want to make the default home page for this user.
Click OK.
please let me know how to do this correctly...
thank you

Hi,
You can change for example the Branding image, instead of the SAP logo. Refer to this [Thread|MI client homepage log change in MI 7.0;
Is this what you mean by changing the home page?
Thanks & Regards

How do I set the default welcome page for PUBLIC user

gurus,
i'm using -
Oracle 9i Database
Oracle 9ias Portal Release 2
QUESTION => how do I set the default welcome page for the PUBLIC user.
i did the following to achieve this -
1. logged into portal
2. clicked on builder
3. clicked on administer tab
4. selected PUBLIC user in the Portal User Profile portlet
5. went to the preferences tab
6. in the default home page selected a custom page group
7. logged out of portal
8. open a new browsere session
9. type the portal URL and i get the login page ....??
i'm unable to understand this behavior ... shouldn't i be getting the page group that i set for the PUBLIC user in step 6 above ....
the second QUESTION is => when the user logs out he/she should see the PUBLIC page set in step 6 above ... but, instead the user sees a page that is as follows -
Partner Application Name Logout Status [Logout Status]
Oracle Portal (portal) logout status
The SSO Server (orasso) checkmark
buzz.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
infrastructure.happy.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal1.buzz.resva.trw.com checkmark
portal2.sylvester.resva.trw.com checkmark
sylvester.resva.trw.com:7778 checkmark
so, how can i set the default page for the PUBLIC user and also a page when he user logs out.
ideas anyone ....?
thanx a bunch.
hero

Hi,
The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
Hope it clarifies the things.
Regards,
Ved

Firefox hangs on the default Start Page

Hey.
I'm having a rather odd problem where Firefox hangs for about ten seconds while loading the default home page. It has worked just fine for years, and then suddenly yesterday every time I open a new tab or start Firefox (basically anything that would take me to the start page,) I get a 10-15 second hang.
I've confirmed this by changing the homepage to the old "http://www.google.com/firefox" which completely fixes the issue. No other pages do it, only the start page.
I've tried safe mode, but I knew it wouldn't yield any results as I've not changed configuration in any way for years.
I've tried updating to the most recent version of Firefox, this also had no effect.
I tried backing up my profile and resetting Firefox, of course still no effect.
Finally I tried completely uninstalling all Mozilla products, then sweeping the registry for any of their keys, then reinstalling it all. Still hangs on the start page.
So that this point I just restored my backed up profiles, scratched my head and came here.
The obvious solution would be to change homepage, but I can't let it beat me. =P
Anyone have any ideas? I'm pretty stumped at this point.

-Pokes up- I did, and its reply is simply 0 then does nothing.
My firefox version is also not old, I just downloaded a new instillation trying to fix this.

Allow User to set their Default Home Page

How can I allow the end user to set their defualt home page? There is a User Profile Portlet but end users are not able to see it when they log in. Also, I want them to be able to just set their own defualt home page.
Thanks.

As a privileged user:
[same functionality as above]
Oracle Portal Home Page > Administer Tab > Portal User Profile > Edit Portal User Profile > Preferences Tab > Default Home Page
On this page you can also set the Default Group for the user. As groups have a Default Home Page property too, the Default Home Page can be managed on a group membership basis, if needed.
Hope this helps.

Peter

Can't reassign default home page for site connection

I am connecting to a site where index.php is the default home page. For some reason, it keeps pointing to index.html and of course comes up "page not found". I have edited the connection so that ONLY index.php is in the default page list (under index files tab), and it still looks for index.html.
I have deleted the entire connection, restarted contribute, navigated to the home page successfully during set up, only to have it look for index.html again. I have also manually typed in the full url and index.php in another set up attempt. I logged onto the server and deleted the entire folder that Contribute set up, thinking it was holding on to some information in the files there. I restarted contribute, created a new connection to the site, and it STILL is looking for index.html. It should be loading http://www.gotohudson.net but instead it's trying to load http://www.gotohudson.net/index.html.
HELP me get rid of that reference.....
thank you,
Marita

2) Select the role, to whom you want to set the homepage.

Hope this solves your problem.

Group Default Home Page doesn't work(WWC-44131)

Hi,
We had configured a Group "A" and and page group "pageA" before, and it have
run well for a long time.
Recently, we want to configure another Group and Page Group, but we couldn't archive that.
Here are what we do.
1) create a Page Group "pageB"
2) create a Group "B"
3) create a User "userB"
4) grant access privileges(view) of "pageB" to Group "B"
5) set Default Home Page of group "B" to "pageB"
6) set group "B" to be the Default Group of "userB"
When I logged in with userB, I got the error.
Error: You do not have permission to perform this operation. (WWC-44131)
I awared that the logging URL redirect to "pageA", and I didn't add userB to pageA, so I got the error.
After I added userB to pageA, the logging would be successful(redirect to pageA), but it's not what we want.
When I set the pageB to be the Default Home Page of userB, I could log into Portal with pageB successfully.
But it's impossible that we set all the user's Default Home Page.
Note that everything is okay before, the problem occurred when we want to add another page group.
The Global Default Home Page is "Portal Builder".
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Jimmy

In a word, I set the Default Home Page of GroupB to PageB, and UserB belongs to GroupB.
I didn't set the User Default Home Page of UserB.
When UserB logged in, portal redirected UserB to PageA, not PageB.
Why?
Thanks in advance.

I want optimum.online to be the default home page
