Keeps opening several home pages when I click on 'home'

Everytime I click on the home page (I use Google) itcreates at least 3 homepage tabs. By the end of the day I can have 20 or more tabs.

I may not have been clear:
If I have a page open and click on the 'Home' symbol it takes me 'Home' but opens up another two 'Home' tabs as well, every time.
I don't know what I've done because it didn't do it until December 2010.

I want to see my chosen home page when I click on Firefox, but your ad shows up. How do I get rid of it?

When I go to Mozilla Firefox, I always see YOUR page first instead of my chosen home page. This page says "Committed to You, your privacy and an open web under your logo, and in top right corner, it says "See what's New" and it makes me either check "No Thanks" or "Let's go". This is annoying because I really just want my home page when I click on Firefox.
How do I get rid of YOUR page that comes up first? If I can't get rid of this, I plan to no longer use Mozilla Firefox. Please advise. (I would have given you a screen shot, but your system doesn't accept it here)
Thanks!

You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
Do you still have your home page set correctly?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

My screen is stuck, it doesn't want to go back to the home page when I press the home button

My screen is stuck, it doesn't want to go back to the home page when I press the home button. I have to power it off then turn it back on.

One thing to try, is to reset (reboot) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
If you can not do this reset, you may have a defective Home button. Have an Apple Store Genius look at it, and you might get a new iPad.

Why won't Safari open a web page when I click on it using Windows XP?

I prefer to use Safari as my primary browser for my Windows XP laptop. Recently, there has been no response when I click on the browser. When I click on it, it opens up fine, but it does not pull the Apple Home Page, or any other web pages. It seems to be lag, but nothing happens even after refreshing the browser, clearing the cache and history, resetting it, repairing it, and even removing and reinstalling it. I have deleted any third party applications that may be affecting it, and I downloaded and installed the most current version of Safari. I can surf the web fine with other browsers. I do not get any error messages, it just stays in "thinking mode". I've even tried using it in Safari's safe mode, only to have the same results.
I've checked for viruses and malware -- none found, and my Internet Security (Kaspersky) is up-to-date, and has never been an issue before. A system restore did not even fix the problem. I've run out of options, and was recommended by Apple to join this community for further assitance, and hopefully a resolution.
I hope everyone has a Happy T-Day too!

Create a new Windows User account with full administrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
Try launching Safari in the new account. Does it launch there, or do you get the same sort of behavior as in the usual account?
I did exactly that, and the same thing happened, only this time, the toolbar was missing (File, Edit, View, etc. options). The URL still showed up, but still stuck in "thinking mode." Same thing happened when I tried a search in the search bar.
This is not how I intented to spend my Thanksgiving!

Why do I get the AOL home page when I click to start Foxfire?

I have downloaded Firefox software several times...when I click on the ilcon the screen goes to the AOL home page...AOL is NOT one of my programs and I don/t have it in my computor...what do I do to get Firfox to appear ?

Sorry, I misunderstood. So for example on the navigation bar there is the word Food which is a link to http://womenspeakers.com/food and when you click that, you end up at Google?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the site in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

No home page when I click on the Firefox shortcut installed when I downloaded the latest firefox.

I got a new computer. With my old 512 mb ram HP, I had no trouble getting to my firefox homepage with bookmarks, etc. Now, when I click on the Firefox shortcut, all I get is some damn page telling me to download the new version of firefox. Which I already did!

Just instaled FF. WON'T appear as Home Page when I click IE icon!

Had Fairpoint as home page here [NH- they're state phone/ internet provider]. Downloaded IE8 last night on my old pc w/XP. DON'T like pushy MS home page items. Switched to blank startup page, then switched here. Got download done; want Firefox to come up as Home Page but keep getting 'connectivity issue' warning. HELP! Please bear in mind: Am pc NON- guru! HELP! ....Old Tom

This thread has some solutions:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/762043
The most straightforward seems to be: hold Ctrl and Left-Click on the Reload button. You could also Middle-click on the Reload button (e.g. "click" with the mouse wheel, if you have a wheel-mouse.) The thread above also has some other options.
Edit: you could also hold Ctrl and drag a tab next to itself to clone it, another suggestion from the above thread.

On my home page, when I click on the Menu box to add something on, nothing comes up

When I click on the Men box, either on my weather section or my Stock section, I cannot add to the information I have.

See:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I cannot delete unwanted app from my iPhone 5. They wiggle and show the X but when I press the X it grays our but will not delete or go back to the home page when I press the home button

The icons wiggle and show the x but they will not delete when I press the X. Also the home button will not cancel the action.

Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After this, try again to delete the app.
If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new.
In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
Good luck

When I click the home button, it takes me to my home page AND opens a blank tab. How can I get it to stop opening the new tab!

I have igoogle as my hompage. When I click the home button, it will open my igoogle page but also open up a blank tab as well. Firefox didn't always do this, it just started. Maybe when I upgraded to the 5.0. I've tried looking in the options and I can't find something there and there doesn't seem to be a solution on the web. How do I get it to stop doing that?

It's easy to add extra tabs to your set of home pages. You can use the Options dialog to make sure there is only one. These articles point the way:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
Because the space is short, you may want to select the whole home page URL (Ctrl+A) and paste it into a document or into a larger textbox like the one I'm typing in now. You're looking for a vertical bar (|) that is followed by a second URL.
If it's not part of your home page setting, the most likely cause for this change is a bad add-on that rode along with some free software.
I suggest starting here:
Open Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible).
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that shut down the extra tab?

How to set new tabs to home page when opened

I have no problem setting up my home page, but new tabs open as blank pages. How do I set up Firefox to open new tabs to my home page, when I manually open a new tab?

"Donations" to add-on developers are not required. Add-on developers do appreciate donations from users since they devote their time and efforts '''''free of charge''''' to develop the add-on(s). Donations also help pay for costs incurred in operating a website and some have online help forums to help their users with support questions.
Tab Mix Plus is a great add-on, I use it and like it, but it is a bit "heavy"/large to install for just that one function. Tab Mix Plus performs many functions related to tabs and has many, many options that you can set related to tabs, including the one that your requested.
An add-on that is much smaller and is designed to perform that one function, opening a tab with the page you specify, is New TabURL:
*New TabURL: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*After installation and restarting Firefox
*#Open the options (Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL)
*#Set your options and/or enter the URL you want to open in new tabs
*#Click "Save"

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.
