IE Added Primary & Secondary Start Pages - Randon 3rd and 4th tabs popping up

I created a GPO that adds a primary and secondary home page tabs in IE. I am using:
User Configuration -> Preferences -> Windows Settings -> Registry
New Registry Item:
Action: Update
Hive: HKCU
Key Path: Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\
Value Name: Start Page or Secondary Start Page
Value Type: Reg_SZ
Value Data: http://mysites.com
When I open the browser, I get the two sites I added, but additionally I get another 3rd or 4th tab that opens to urls with random strings such as: http://xn--foa3045d/
The only thing that is common is the http://xn--
Any idea why this may be occurring. I am pretty sure it isn't malware because if I remove the GPO, the random tabs go away.
Thanks!

Hi,
Regarding the current issue, please do not deploy multiple homepages via Registry Items in GPP. Instead, please try to configure it in Internet Settings in GPP to see if the same issue occurs.
For details, please refer to the following articles.

I open Firefox and the Start page opens . And a tab window also opens up to a site called Game Vat . Any idea why ?

It just started doing it this morning . Wondering if Ive got adware or its a site Mozilla supports .

Try the following:

* [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Fire Fox Start Page Self Altering and removing google when i restart my computer.

So basically iv reinstalled fire fox, and reset it several times, when i reset (or reinstall it) it brings up Google as the default search on the start page (Fantastic!) and will continue to do so for a time, then for no apparent reason (usualy when i close and reopen fire fox but not always) it will simply stop using Google or anything else and not work. the bars all along the top work fine this is just really annoying (i like the middle search bar) id like to point out that fire fox only has default addons / extensions / what ever, on it since i have added nothing myself.
iv been searching through a multitude of "fix it" things, and they all suggest basically the same things "delete this", "go into about:config that" tried them all, informative but 0% effective.

Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
Please report back to see if this helped you!

Google Toolbar Options, in the Search tab, make sure that '''Enable the Google new tab page''' is check-marked. If that doesn't fix it for you, see this for support information about the Google Toolbar.

As far as your UserAgent showing Firefox 3.0.11, see this:

You might want to consider getting rid of that '''desktopsmiley''' program that has messed up your UserAgent, it is known as Malware.

Can KM iViews be added to SRM Start Page

Has anyone added KM Document and KM Discussion iViews to the SRM Start Page - and if how?

Are you aware that the content, the body text, is on a different layer than the from fields. So if one replaces a page the form fields on that page remain and content behind for the form layer is replaced. Now you only need to realign the form fields as needed and add a row of additional form fields. All of the scripts for the fields. pages, and document remain unchanged.

Shortcut for adding Primary / Secondary layer?

Hi,
I wonder, if there a shortcut for adding Primary or Secondary layer in layers stack? Can't believe one would need to click the tiny +P or +S buttons all the time.
I read shortcuts PDF, but found nothing.
Am I missing something?
Thank you.

I'm afraid there isn't any shortcut to create any layer. It's possible with a color grading panel though.

How to set a New Tab as the start page in Firefox and lock in my choice of web sites

You may set the New Tab page Firefox shows when opening a new tab as its start page, and you can lock in the web sites you want displayed there.
I set my browser to open a New Tab as its start page and have locked in six destinations from which to choose on my start page.
First I open Firefox and open a new tab. Then I delete any open tabs other than this New Tab. Optionally, I can also set a second tab to open to a specific web site
Next I go to Tools and Options (or Edit and Preferences in Linux) and select the General tab on the far left. Click on
[Use Current Pages].
Each time I open Firefox it will open showing me the New Tab.
I can select from pages that I have already visited the six pages I want to have appearing on my New Tab every time. Supposing there are no pages locked in yet, and I don't want the site in the top left. I hit the X in its thumbnail's top right corner, it disappears and every other site thumbnail moves up and there is a new site appearing in the sixth slot. Note that if I have visited one page frequently, it may appear more than once, or be replaced by itself. If that happens, just keep deleting until the page you want shows up.
If I find a site that I want to save, then there is a thumbtack in the top left corner of the thumbnail. It is black, but if I click it it turns blue, and the thumbnail is a keeper.
This web site is in the second row, second over, but I want it to be up on the top row. Just drag and drop and the two sites exchange places. Make sure it has a blue thumbtack. The lock-down thumbtacks and delete X symbols appear in the top left and top right, respectively while the mouse is hovering over them.
It is possible to delete a saved site, and it is possible to undo the thumbtack. Simply click the X to delete or click the blue thumbtack to unlock the site and turn the thumbtack black.
You may choose to tack down a few sites and let the remainder float in and out, driven by your browsing history.
Through my use of this approach, I have instant access to my club's web site, two Webmail sites, and some other often-visited places on the Web, all in one start page.
About the only thing I really don't need there is a Google search box, for if I enter my search terms in the address bar I get the same result as if I had specifically typed in the search box.
Some add-ons, often potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), will replace the Firefox about:newtab (address of the New Tab) with eBay, Facebook, Twitter icons among others, and a different search engine. These icons may have a nicer appearance than the default Firefox New Tab, but you may also be looking at extra, unnecessary work for the computer, especially if behind the pretty icons there is a hidden agenda.
Personally, I would stay clear of these add-ons, and perform some scanning with an up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software.

If this is not a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in that tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Firefox start page opens up as new tab whenever my home page opens

I've changed the default home page to another website.
Whenever Firefox starts up, two tabs will open ie. my homepage and Firefox start page. While browsing on any tab, if I click ALT+HOME to go to homepage, a new tab opens again for the firefox start page.
Why is this happening? It didn't happen with older firefox browser versions.

I have the same issue and figured it out. When you (and I) set our home pages, the Firefox start page was open also. Firefox takes every tab you have open when you set your home page. So close all but 1 tab and go to your desired home page and set it through the Tools>options>General tab. That fixed it for me.

Firefox sees my earthlink start page as sinister and won't let it open. Why and how do I get past it?

firefox's dialogue box suggests a good site would not cause the problem, but I know my earthlink.net start page is okay.

How to extend VLAN in 3rd and 4th 6513 switch with HSRP

Hi presently in One Data centre 02 Nos. of 6513 is configured in HSRP. Due to space constraint some servers need to be installed in other room and there 02 Nos of 6509 switches need to be configured in HSRP again.
One Data Vlan needs to be extended in expanded room. What should be the best practice for configuration in 6509 switches in HSRP. Please suggest.

Just as #1 and #2 are connected with (I would assume) trunking ports, similarly add connections to #3 and #4 Catalyst 6k. Define the layer 2 VLANs in the 6509 and assign access ports to those VLANs as required.
Personally I don't see much value to adding L3 interfaces (SVIs) for the VLANs (and adding them to the HSRP groups) on the 6509s. It depends in part on how your other connectivity into them is setup. If everything leaving the server VLAN goes to users, WAN, Internet etc. via the original pair of 6513s then keep the 6509s simple with only layer 2 VLANs.

My home page has altered and the tabs have altered. I need the original version back.

Another person tried to access outlook express through firefox. The settings have been completely changed and now are tabs are completely different and there is search bar. Please can you tell me how to restore the front page. I have a screen shot but am not sure how to add it.

You can check/modify the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page.
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
You can 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).
