In Firefox 18.0.2..when I hit the Home button it opens a new tab. Why?

This did not always occur but only recently started. I have tried resetting my home page to no avail.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

After updating to iOS 8, when I hit the home button once it takes me to the "app switcher."

After updating to iOS 8, when I hit the home button once it takes me to the "app switcher."

Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc") upwards. I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.

It seems that when i hit the home button it brings up a previous webpage i visited, rather disturbingly it is my bank website and tries, i must say tries to login... but does not as my bank has many firewalls. but what is going on and can you help me?

I got on this morning to check my balance as i get a direct deposit from my work. Once i checked my bank i logged off as normal. then hit the home button. It did not direct me to my home. yahoo.com but went instead to msn.com. so i went into my options and reset my home page. Now when i hit my home page it grabs my bank page and adds a new tab to try to open my bank page while i am at my home page. so i must either have some spyware either through a webpage i visited or your software has a leak somewhere someone cracked. please help me with this if it is indeed a problem with mozilla.

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

Multiple Tab Home refresh issue, I would like to not get 6 new tabs to open when I hit the home button, I would like it to refresh the six tabs I already have open back to the saved settings. Internet explorer does this.

I like to have my home button restore multiple tabs for me. Sometimes I close some of the default tabs or they move from their default pages. Based on my experience with internet explorer I first select the left most tab and then hit the home button. It restores all saved tabs in the default. With Firefox is always opens brand new tabs and moves the existing ones to the right. Is there a setting to make it not open all new tabs.

That's the way the Homepage button works in Firefox, it reloads one tabbed homepage and opens all the rest of your homepages in new Tabs, appending the Tabs that are already open.
IIRC, the TabMix Plus extension has an option to reload your Homepages in existing tabs.

When i hit the home button on any particular page, the home page appears on the bar, but it just sits there, doing nothing with a blank screen....

when i activate a web page from the home netzero homepage, and then try to go back to the home page by way of the home button, nothing happens. The status bar says it is trying to go there, but the screen is totally blank white and just sitting there. this happens no matter where i activate a page from, the home button just does not work. thank you in advance for any input .

Verify that the battery is charged (connect to the supplied charger & cable for a couple of hours).
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

Nothing happens when I hit the home button

When I press on the home button, it will not take me back to the home page. Instead I'm stuck in an app (ie, mail, messages, phone etc). The button does press inwards when pressed but it doesn't change the screen.

The iPhone has a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby.

Hitting the home button twice!

When I hit the home button twice the bottom row lights up. When I hold down on any of the icons the delete mode pops up. When I hit delete it deletes the icon(s) then i hit the home button to go back to the home screen the icon is still there. Im not actually trying to delete the icon, someone told me by doing this it turnes off that icon or something! Can anyone explain what this does?

That action just tells the OS to "close" the application. Normally iOS handles this automatically as it needs memory, but you can force them to close manually with that action. I routinely do this to reduce background cellular & GPS usage, but for the most part I allow iOS to manage these recently used applications as it sees fit.
To remove an application touch and hold its icon on the home screen until it starts to "jiggle", at that point all installed applications will have an X in a circle in their upper left hand corner. Touching that X on any app will remove it from the device.

Firefox doesn't retry downloads when I hit the retry button.

i will be downloading something and it will freeze and stop downloading so i hit pause and then when i hit resume it comes with a message saying the path is unavailable or something and ends the download. then when i hit the retry button to retry the download it just goes through a quick scan and ends it right there with a partially downloaded file that nothing can be done to.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== i was downloading a video/part file

There is something you can try when this happens..
Go to your downloads folder location. If the download has failed, Firefox may have created a .part file. If your file is ''largefile.exe'', look out for ''largefile.exe.part''.
Now basically all you have to do is go to the downloads page and start downloading your file again. This time pause the download, go to your downloads folder.
Rename "largefile.exe" to "oldlargefile.exe".
Rename "largefile.exe.part" to "largefile.exe" obviously replacing the name with your own file.
Now resume your download. It should continue from where it left off.

In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Hi All,
Let me confess before hand I am new to the BI publisher.
I have it set I guess, I can log in could connect to the local database and generated the report but when I hit the view button, it says an error occurred contact the Administrator. I am logging in as Administrator.
Are there any configuration settings that I need to make?
I did change the model to be XDO and then I have installed BI-Publisher Desktop. I can see on my word Tool bar. Is there anything else i need to configure.
When I hit error details i get
Unexpected element: :report
Are there any log files which I can dig in and see what is wrong.
Thanks in advance I appreciate

one question I am looking for help with is, when you hit the history button I want my last fifty pages to show up instead of just fifteen. Is it possible to change that setting?
TY

The History menu can only show that fixed maximum of 15 as that is hard coded.
Maybe this extension helps:

Help! My email push isn't working even when I hit the refresh button!

Please help me. I got a Palm Pixi in December. It worked perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. It suddenly stopped pushing my email, including when I hit the refresh button! I spent many many hours on the phone with both verizon and palm, we tried starting and restarting the phone, removing and adding my accounts, we even tried a partial wipe of the phone. Nothing worked. So both verizon and palm assured me that my brand new phone must be defective, they sent me a new palm pixi promising me that my email push problems were a fluke and that it would never happen again. I got my new phone a week ago, it worked fine until yesterday- the same push problem is back! I've been on live chat with a palm technician for almost 2 hours now, we've set and reset my email settings, we've reset the account settings in the phone, and it still doesn't work!
Please somebody, tell me what the fix is for this!
I need this phone for my job.
Because this problem didn't start until the end of my 30 day trial period, I can't exchange this phone now, and I can't afford to pay retail price for a new phone so I'm stuck with this phone even though this problem is not my fault!! I have to make this work!
Verizon and Palm promised me that this problem would never happen again, that it was a one time fluke based on a defective(though brand new device)- based on this assurance, I exchanged phone and now I am stuck. I spent hours on the phone on monday with palm support updating/changing my email settings on the phone and when that didn't work he sent me the webos doctor instructions via email to try on my own. I did that last night, and guess what? It still didn't work! As per usual, the solution either doesn't work at all, or it works for a bout an hour and then stops working.
Help!
Thanks

First verify that all your email settings are correct as they may have changed.
Service provider settings frequently change. If your email account was working but you are currently experiencing problems, check with your service provider to find out whether any of the account settings have changed. You may need to manually change some email settings on your device.
Next, update the PRL on the device by dialing *228 send and option 2.
If the problems persist, try doing a Master Reset on the device.
