I want to disable the feature that goes to the last site looked at when I click open Firefox from my desktop.

I just upgraded to Firefox 4 on my two laptops, but I'm only having this problem with one of them. When I click on Mozilla Firefox on my desktop, it immediately takes me to the last site I was on. I want to disable this feature so that it goes right to my homepage.

# Open the options window and go to the General panel
# Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

  • I want to close the bokkmarks side bar, I have tried to open firefox in safe mode but this does not help.

    This morning I opened firefox as usual and found that a sidebar for bookmarks on the left side of this page. I did not request this to open and I want it removed from my computer. I do not like the way it uses up the space on the page. I have tried to open firefox in safe mode but his did not clear it. If I can not remove this sidebar I will want to close firefox.

    There should be a little 'x' Close button in the top right corner of the sidebar.
    Alternatively, Ctrl + B will close it too.

  • Your update 33.0 is not compatable with Norton antivirus and the screen only turns black when trying to open firefox. Please help

    Please see question. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but with no success. Chrome and Int. Exp both work fine, but nothing comes up but a black screen covering most of my monitor in Firefix.

    Sorry but it is always the other way. Norton needs to update their Firefox extension to work with the new major version Release so it can tie in with their antivirus client.
    The good news is that Norton as usual has a live-update patch for Firefox 33.0 which was available on October 13, the day be fore Firefox 33.0 was Released.

    As for the black screen it may be due to old graphic drivers

    start Firefox into safemode '''by pressing the shift key while the application is launching''' & disable Hardware Acceleration in the Firefox ''menu ≡ > Options > Advanced > General'' (You will need to restart Firefox to take effect).

  • When I open Firefox from my desktop I get a pop-up stating "This connection is untrusted", and "We can't confirm that login is secure". Am I to ignore these warnings at my own peril?

    When I click on the Firefox icon on my desktop the browser appears but a pop-up also appears with the above statements. It also suggests that "this may be phoney and someone may be trying to impersonate the site and you shouldn't continue." What do I do?

  • When i open firefox from my desktop, it won't open as a full page,only a tiny page when i mouse over the firefox icon on my taskbar

    if I open firefox, it doesn't go to my home page, instead my desktop stays up. if I mouse over the firefox icon on the taskbar a tiny homepage pops up but you can't make it bigger.

    This has happened to me many times but on the older FF 3 It could be a small bug, One should list the PC's being used as it could be related? Mine is an E-Machine Mod, W3609 running W7.

  • AddThis Button is gone after the last update. Also when I click on add ons, then select the options button on any add on the add on screen locks up and I have to shut down firefox. Any Ideas how to fix this? Running Windows XP.

    After the most recent Firfox update, the Add-on page locks up when I click on options for any add-on. Also my AddThis button is gone.

    # Yes, if you go to accounts.firefox.org, sign out, you will now be signed out.
    # Sign back in, and you will be asked to save the password you entered.
    # This will save the password and autocomplete if you have this option turned on.
    I am not exactly sure why the menu did not detect the password change or if it was stored incorrectly after you changed it? But after storing the correct password you can manage any duplicate passwords in the password manager.[[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]

  • The color of the web site looks wrong when switched to full screen mode.

    I was in a game website.
    When I switched to full screen mode, the black text changed into blue text.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mc

    I have multiple devices that have my iCloud E-mail, I want to disable the E-Mail on some of the devices but keep it on others, I do not have physical access to the ones I want to disable but I do have access to the devices I want to keep receiving mail, can I do this with a simple password reset or will that still leave all devices enabled?

    The simple way would be to uncheck 'Mail' in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud, but as you would need access to the devices in question to do that you will have to change your password, at http://appleid.apple.com. You will then need to sign out and back on all the devices you want to be able to receive mail, and it's important that you follow this procedure and note the warning:
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Password & Security' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new password and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
    The devices on which you have not changed the password will throw up continual error messages as they attempt to contact iCloud and fail.

  • I want to disable the encryption for my backups. Where do I find that?

    I want to disable the encryption in ITunes so I can work with restoring my new Iphone 5s and my new Ipad Air.
    Where do I find that?

    Hello RadioProf,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    iOS: Troubleshooting encrypted backups
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5162
    iTunes will continue making encrypted backups until you deselect the Encrypt backup checkbox in the iTunes Device Summary screen. You need the backup password to disable backup encryption or to restore from an encrypted backup.
    Have a nice day,
    Mario

  • I want to disable the pointless "slide to unlock"

    It is unbelievably stupid that there's no option to disable the "slide to unlock" barrier when I pick up my iPad2.  I just want to push the top button and start using it!

    djmordigal, thanks for your response, but your logic isn't sound.
    >What if somebody got ahold of your iPad, or what if you lost it? If you have a passcode on it
    I don't have a passcode, so there's no difference in security between forcing the user to slide the bar and not.
    >Also, what if you put it in a bag or something during your travels and something knocked against the button and turned it on?
    First, the difference between "bumping the button and going to the lock screen" and "bumping the button and going to the home screen" is about 50 seconds of active-mode power, which is insignificant.  Second, the iPad resides in my living room and I never bump the power button.
    hannifromeureka, yes, it is a chore.  Sometimes I want to push the button for standby mode to chat with someone in the room, and then push it to turn back on--but this is a pain because of the extra lock step.  Having to Slide To Power Off is also dumb; if I ever hold the power button for 2 seconds, just turn off!  Don't force me to do redundent steps!  For a device that's so focused on ease of use, it's very odd they force a totally redundant step just to power on and off.
    alanfromnewtownards, that just stops the device from entering standby when sitting idle, which is a bad effect.  And still, when you go to standby manually and come back, or do a cold power-on, you're faced with the lock.
    It's much more understandable that a phone wouldn't give you the ability to disable the lock screen, since power buttons are easily bumped in your pocket, but it's still a desireable feature.  To not have it on the iPad is inexcusible.

  • I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

    I WANT TO DISABLE THE LOCK SCREEN CAMERA

    I know I shall regret asking, but why does keeping the iPhone out of reach of your toddler imply it must also be out of reach of yourself?
    I suppose not comepletely out of reach for me, but not out in the open. I would have to put my phone either on top of a high shelf, which I would need to get on a stoll myself to get to, or in a closet or inside a cabinet. The truth is that I spend most of my time at home in the same room as my daughter, which is the layroom, and there aren't really any places there to put my phone out of reach. Putting it our of reach for her would mean missing phonecalls myself.
    This is beyond this topic of discussion, really and I'm sorry. My daughter had gotten used to the fact that if she did get a hold of my phone she couldn't do anythig with it. Now she's learned that she can take pictures if she gets a hold of the phone and it's a fight every time she "finds" my phone, because now she wants to be able to take pictures and it's tiring having to take it away from her, deal with the crying and screaming and also have to punish her for the offense. Again, this is getting way off topic.
    My opinion on the actual topic of this discussion is that this "feature" shouldn't have been imposed on me, I should've been given a way to disable this feature. It was, in my opinion, not well thought out by apple and I really think we should get a new update that allows us to disable it. (already told apple what I thought, thank you).
