I want to have two home pages when I open Firefox, where is the setting for this?

In my computer class at school the instructor told us that you can set your browser to have two tabs open when you start the browser... I would like to be able to have my Facebook and my favorite blog to come up every time I open FireFox, but I cant find the setting myself... please help!!

Hi b_dan_gidd,
All you have to do is open both pages in different tabs and then choose ''Use Current Pages'' while you are setting your home page. It's actually really easy. Just take a look at the Knowledge base article [[How to set the home page]].
Hopefully this helps!

Am I able to have multiple home pages when I open firefox mozilla?

Internet explorer allows you type in other addresses in internet options and will open them all.

For details of how to set multiple home pages see the [[How to set the home page]] article.
To make Firefox open the home pages at startup, in the Tools menu select Options. Go to the General panel, and make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".

Why does Firefox Support Home Page open automatically as my second tab, to right of home page, when I start Firefox, and how do I stop this?

I have newly installed Firefox 4 on my computer as part of re-installing my OS. Firefox now opens with 2 tabs: my specified home tab and, to its right, a Firefox Support Home Page tab. I suppose I did something to cause this, but how can I undo it?

Reset your homepage and make sure that only one tab is open when you set your homepage.

Although I have Igoogle as my home page when I open Firefox it comes up as somoto. How can I get rid of this.

My home page on Firefox only has been changed to somoto. I can't get rid of it. Have run scans for malware and viruses with more than one program and has eliminated any bad stuff. I cannot find the word somoto anywhere in my computer. My regular home page comes up in IE and Chrome.

This worked for me:
open add/remove programs and uninstall every toolbar you see that you don't know exactly what it is. The trojan or virus ... whatever it is can hide itself in another name. it happened to be "burn4free" toolbar when i downloaded burn4free a few days ago. I uninstalled it, restarted my computer upon prompt, and VOILA! no more annoying homepage. Like i said, it may be renamed so make sure to do some trial and error if you're not sure which one it is. GOOD LUCK!

That is the snippet container.
You can hide that container or set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty String on the about:config to make Firefox use some default snippets.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:home){
/* hide snippet container on the about:home page */

Can you attach a screenshot if you mean something else?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

How do I set a specific page to open when I open a new tab in Firefox? I can open the page when initially opening Firefox, but not for subsequent tabs/pages.

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer

I have a new mac mini with mt lion where is the os on this computer. It came with Mt Lion on it

You have a couple of options for booting OS X.
One is to use the OS X Recovery Disk Assistant to copy the Mountain Lion Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive. A 4GB thumb drive is sufficient as the Disk Assistant only needs 1GB.
A second option would be to use a cloning software like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your existing Macintosh HD to an external USB drive. This would give you an external bootable copy of what you have now.

I want my home page to open every time I open a new tab. Where is the setting for that?

When I open a new tab it is always blank. I want it to automatically open to my home page every time I open a new tab.
I thought I found a setting for this, but I can not find it now.

There is no setting for this, but you can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Why does Bing search act as home page when I open a NewTab?

Google is my normal home page. It opens when Firefox initializes.
But...when I open a new tab, Bing page opens, not Google. I went to Manage Search Engines and deleted Bing, but this has not helped.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I cannot see see firefox start page when I open firefox

When I open Firefox I cannot get the default Firefox Start Page since the update to Firefox 20.0 .
I have used the Firefox Preferences Restore To Default option but it refuses to work

Hi!
Do you mean the about:home page? You can type that on the URL bar to see if that's what you are looking for.
If that's the one you want, you can try to add it back into your preferences: [[How to set the home page]]
Let me know if that helps.

How to disable autoloading of previously opened page when i open firefox ?

When i open firefox, the last opened website automatically load
instead of default firefox homepage. I do not want this due to privacy issue.
This did not happen in previous versions of Firefox.
How to disable this ?

You can also check the startup setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page" "Show a blank page"
Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.
