Just updated to latest version , getting started with Mozilla Firefox opens everytime not homepage , how do I get rid of unwanted page

I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox , when I hit the icon and firefox opens the first page that comes up is the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox and not my home page , I have checked everything I could find and nothing keeps this page from opening like it's my home page . also I unloaded download helper for the same reason , it keep opening up wanting me to upgarde to the latest version , I already had upgraded , I don't know what is going on , My home system was upgraded early last week and works fine , I double checked all setting between the two systems , nothing , Please let me know where to look , thank you , a longtime fan of Firefox.

Hi Romulus949,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. Then you can set your homepage to anything you like.
If that doesn't work you should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I stop the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab from opening every time I open FF?

    Every time I open FF, the "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox" tab opens. I have checked and it's not in my homepage list.
    If I open any additional windows, it doesn't open.
    But, once I close all of them and reopen it again, the tab opens.
    I've had a similar problem with a couple addons (ietab) doing the same thing.

    about:config is typed into the address bar as if you were going to a web page.
    It will popup a message warning you that you are messing with important stuff.
    Just agree.

  • How do I stop the Getting started with Mozilla Firefox page from opening everytime I start Firefox. If I have to see that everytime then I will delete Firefox for good...!!!!

    Everytime I start firefox since the last update I can't get the stupid Getting started with firefox page to stop opening up. I downloaded the version 8 and it still opens ..

    Well the latest and Greatest Firefox Version 8.0. Won't let me change my home page no matter what I do it always comes back with the getting started page and my orignal home page.
    What a piece of garbage it is turning into..!!!!

  • How can I stop the loading of "Getting Started with Mozilla Firefox?", which has greatly slowed down the startup of Firefox.

    Firefox used to start up fairly quickly, but now it loads an additional more complicated tab, which has greatly slowed down the start up process. How can I eliminate the loading of this time waster?

    I just downloaded the newest version of Photoshop and my 3D palette is unresponsive. How do I get it working?

    Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details. Most likely your system simply doesn't have enough juice to deal with it or the required graphics hardware acceleration is misconfigured and needs a new driver....

    Hi,
    Although I'm learning I am a complete programming / javascript / json / jquery novice so my apologies in advance if this is a stupid question or i have failed to understand the new restful api functionality which is available under this beta.
    In the past, where a client has had really specific functionality that was not achievable within the BC framework, I have implented an external php application (with the help of a web developer) and simply linked to it via a sub domain. Obviously not ideal.
    My hope is that the new api functionality will open up a range of possibilities that will go some way toward eliminating the need to build extenal applications and simply extend the existing BC framework using the added api functionality.
    One example that i would like to move solely on to BC is the following - http://mylist.grocerwatch.com.au/
    The above is a grocery pricing comparison website whereby the applicaton highlights the cheapest and best value (comparible) products. The application also allows the user to select from the items displayed to create a shopping list showing where to buy the selected products for the best value. The user can also email, print, or save their shopping list.
    My question is for someone who is more farmiliar with the new api and who is perhaps more experienced than me with programming. Would it be possible to create the above solely on BC without sacrificing speed, security, functionality etc?
    Thanks.

  • Since updating to latest version (10.5.1) I cannot open iTunes

    I updated to the latest version of iTunes a few days ago. This is the 10.5.1.42 version.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional (x86) on a Dell Vostro 200 Slim Tower, 1.2GHz Processor, 4GB RAM, plenty of HDD space available.
    After updating to that particular version, I am now no longer able to open iTunes. In Task Manager I can see the program open then instantly close. I have attempted to fetch a log from Event Viewer but I've had problems.
    I've tried finding the answer to this on here but currently I haven't found anything relating to it.
    If anyone has any ideas, I would be willing to try.
    I was considering just rolling back but I dunno if this has now corrupted my iTunes Library or whatever.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    After updating to that particular version, I am now no longer able to open iTunes. In Task Manager I can see the program open then instantly close.
    Do you currently have a copy of the QuickTime Player installed on the PC? If so, is that also failing to launch (with or without an error message?)

  • I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. How do I Get my songs back?

    I just updated to IOS 5, when I did this my Songs were erased. I thought sinced i "Backed - Up" my ipod that my songs would return after the update. WHere are my songs? Whats the purpose of a back-up if i cant get my tunes back? I have about 2000 songs.

    The backup does not contain music or the apps themselves and some other things.  Those need to be in your iTunes library so then can be synced to the iPod during a latter stage of the update process.
    If you are in a country where iCloud has be implimentd then you can redownload music by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    It list s the countrys where there is iCloud.
    If the music wee from CDs, you have to go back to the source.

  • I just updated my iPod touch and all my pictures are gone!!! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.0.1 and all my pictures are gone!!! Everything else is there but my pictures! How do I get them back? Please help!!!

    If the photos were i your iPod's Camera Roll album (taken by or saved to the iPod you can:
    - If your PhotoStream is on you can get the last 30 days worth back. See that topic here:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    - Or you can restore from backup if you backed up when the photos were on the iPod.
    If the photos were synced to the iPod then you have to get them from where you got them the first time.
