Setting the home page will not work

I have tried all your suggestions in setting my home page and it does not work. What else can I do?

"blank page" shows on home page-will NOT load any sites

When firefox loads, a "blank page" is displayed. Further, when this occurs, no sites can be accessed. Toolbars on top do display.

Home page will not load on startup

Safari in Lion is making me nuts.
I have finally transitioned over and the problem is simple...when I start Safari it will not start up with my designated home page (My Yahoo).
It invariably opens with whatever the last page was when I quit.
Even more maddening is opening a new window or a new tab does open with the desgnated homepage.
I know how to set home page preferences...I have been on Macs for decades.
Is there some weird conflict with the "new windows and/or new tabs" dropdowns...some magic combination that I have wrong?
This is not a comnputer specific behavior. It is happening on two different Macs.
This is really irritating.
Thanks kids...

Never mind...I just figured it out. Restore windows when quitting box in Gen Prefs must be unchecked. To many new little things.

Google home page will not display but everything else works (bookmarks,etc)

When I start FF, the page says server was reset before loading complete, yet my other system does just fine with same version of FF.
Just started last night and haven't gone to malicious website as they are blocked by Avast well and no emails came in.
Even reinstalled FF.
Please advise.
Thanks everyone.

FYI for everyone. Found that if your homepage does not come up and you get "Server reset while page was loading" and can't get it to change, then disable all plugins and restart Firefox. Home page should come up.
Now Firefox comes up fine. Will check other issue on cookies not deleting.

FF4 home page will not search.

Having just upgraded to FF4 I find that it will not search anything from the Mozilla home page. I can open bookmarked sites or use the search box in the toolbar.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

Version 3.6.13 new Tab will not go away, and my home page will not display

Even though I've acknowledged 3.6.13, when I close that tab, Firefox does not show my home page in other tab. After re-establishing correct home page, when I re-start browser, same problems occur, as if I never corrected anything.

If it doesn't work for you can I recommend bookmarking your. sites as Favorites Or adding a home screen icon. You can even add the Favorites Bar to the top of the screen.

My home page will not load when I open Firefox but features show up in column on left and bookmarks are there.

My home page opens with features in a column on the left and bookmarks are available but the center section (features) is blank. Home page with features appeared at first opening of FF, then would not open normally after opening a feature but would not open normally when going back to home page. No not at all.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Database home page will not load whilst ZoneAlarm Pro is running

Hi,
I'm runnning win XP sp2 on a dell latitude d800 with zonealarm pro 6.0.667.000
I had a couple of glitches during install similar to those reported in other threads, but everything installed ok in the end and could connect via sqlplus, db instance verified as up and running.
Clicking on "Go to database start page" from the start menu, brought up logon page and if incorrect details entered it gives error message (as it should), but if you enter correct credentials it just comes back to logon page.
Turning off ZA Pro and repeating process, I can logon OK and get to home page. As far as I can see, I've allowed all oracle XE related services and apps access to trusted and internet zones.
Any ideas? I don't want to leave firewall disabled, and turning it on/off to use XE is impractical too.

Hi,
I have done some research and found a working solution (for me).
I have downloaded the latest version 6.1.737.000 (english version).
First I installed just the basic (free) version of ZoneAlarm, no problems there. XE worked just fine.
Then I upgraded to ZoneAlarm Pro and immediately I had the problems as described above.
The problem is definitely due to blocked cookies from localhost.
There are numerous posts on their support forum regarding this issue:
http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/search?q=cookie+localhost
It seems to be a bug in ZoneAlarm Pro. It identifies the cookies as 3rd party cookies and therefore blocks them. Adding 127.0.0.1, localhost or the local ip address to the site list (privacy tab) won't work either.
The only way I got this working was to set the following configuration options:
Privacy > Cookie Control => OFF
Privacy > Ad Blocking => OFFDoes this workaround work for you as well?

My home page will not stay saved,it keeps going back to the firefox default page

After I've saved my home page(yahoo.com)there will be no problem until my laptop either is turned off or restarted. After I turn on my laptop when I connect to the internet, my home page is changed from yahoo.com to the firefox default almost like if I just updated firefox.And I'm getting tired of having to change my home page back every time I turn my laptop on.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

V 3.6.3 on Mac Snow Leopard. Often, but not always, my iGoogle home page does not load.

Using latest Snow Leopard on my Mac and Firefox v 3.6.3, since latest update my iGoogle homepage does not always load, sometimes just a blank Google page and I then have to click the homepage icon to load. After the first time used in any session, it will always load correctly. Sometimes it loads correctly, no apparent pattern.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== The latest version was installed......I THINK

Google is my homepage. Recently, when I type a search query from Google's homepage, nothing happens. I mean absolutely nothing. No error, no "loading page" messages. Nothing. When I type the search in the Google toolbar, the search engine works fine. Anyone else having this problem and if so, how do you fix it?
Thanks in advance...

My wordpress home page will not display any active information in Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion.

Hey All,
I've tried many things to resolve this issue, but none of them seem to be working. For some time now I have not been able to see the homepage of wordpress.com with full information i.e. stats, notifications, etc. I'm running Firefox 15 on Mac OSX Lion with the following settings and add-ons. I've tried disabling the various privacy add-ons one-by-one to no avail. Please help!

The only active thing I see on that page is the banner near the top which keeps changing: "For the cat pictures", "For the poet", etc. Do you not see that? I did not see any link for "Home". Try these pages:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Websites_look_wrong
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
Incidentally, it seems to me that you are using Mountain LIon, not Lion. Mac OS 10.8 is Mountain Lion.

Kurupira home page will not go away. tried browser reset.

it shows up on firefox and internet explorer. I suspect malicious code from the kurupira developers
www.kurupira.net

Go to address bar and type "about:config", press Enter, in the search bar, type "browser.startup.homepage" , on the option that will appears double click or click with right button mouse, then click on "Edit..", change its value to "about:home"
If the idea above doenst work try do the same process in safe mode
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

My Facebook home page will not display my profile photo in Firefox but still does in IE. How can I fix this?

Since installing the new Firebox I have been unable to get my Facebook profile photo to appear. The same goes for the profile pics of FB friends in the chat list.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Home page does not come up with IE launch

Windows XP IE 8 - The problem is that the home page will not come up when you launch IE. It shows "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". However, if you refresh the page THEN the home page is displayed. It is just the initial launch that is
a problem. IE 8 was installed with a recent windows update. Any ideas on what is causing the problem? I would like to fix it with group policy since we have about 2,000 devices to touch for this.
Thanks!!!
Karon W

Now the question is - how to fix that for 2000 devices without laying hands on each device.
