How do I set my home page to my personal google home page without having to enter my id and password whenever I open firefox.

safari allows my personal google home page to be opened as home page without entering id or password. I would like firefox to do the same.

I thought that was an Add-on (extension) have you looked through your Tools->Addons to see if you can find it?
I think it's this one.
Fast Dial
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/

I keep seeing the same ads over and over, even on the Google home page when I open Safari. It's not an inappropriate ad, it looks like it's for website design but I keep seeing it on sites I never see ads on, such as Apple's website. Do I have malware?

I'm just wondering if I have a malware or adware problem. I've ran scans using iAntivirus and Clamxav but they both indicate there's no issues. I'm currently having to start up in safe mode so I won't see the ads. Any ideas?

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. It must be said that this failure of oversight is inexcusable and has seriously compromised the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You cannot rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

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!

I am having a problem printing emails from my Hotmail account when I am using Mozilla Firefox as my browser. When I click on the Print icon above the email and then proceed to print, the output on my Canon Pixma 830 printer is in extremely small type.

I am not sure about all those installed plugins you have listed below.
I know that I can always copy the text of my email and paste it into a Word file to be printed, but that is a hassle, and the output is not quite the same as when I print directly from the Web.

Did you check what I would consider the first place to look:

I Cannot Find Safe Mode I've Looked Under The Icon When I Press Start But It Is Not There. Futhermore My Computer Is Windows XP Please Tell Me How To Get On To Mozilla Firefox Safe Mode

My computer is Windows XP, and I can't find mozilla firefox safe mode i've read most of the articles on this website but none of them solve my problem

Home Page - the search engine on my Firefox start page used to be google and has now changes to Ask . How to I get google back

I suspect some toolbar has changed the search engine on my home page which is the standard Mozilla Firefox start Page. It used to be google but now is Ask. I want to change it back to Google.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for ask.com via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all ask.com related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
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.

Clicking a search result from search bar goole seaech, always opening google home page but only can open search in new tab by middle click,really frustrating.

Whenever i am clicking search result from Google search bar, it always opens the Google home page. I can only open search result in new tab by double clicking. It started when i installed Firefox 12.

@mstm, please ensure that you write some thing in search bar before you click search icon. without entering anything will redirect to google.com. And make sure that you are clicking on search icon not home icon.

Google home page in Html

Hi everybody, this is kinda trivial, but some how i cannot view my I pod touch, the "google" home page in Html.
I have been able to do this in the past, but now when i load google, it load in the "mobile" format.
I have tried clearing, history,cookies,cache, but this does not help
Also typing into any search engine for google.com or google .co.uk, it always defaults onto the googlw wed address but like
google.co.uk/m
Can anyone advise
cheers
tom

This change appears to have just happened - I saw the mobile page for the first time today.
It's very irritating.
However, being Google with all its might and wisdom, I imagine the quality of the page will improve as they continue to develop it. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a touch/iPhone-specific cool custom page based on Apple's web API before long.

Google Home Page

Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

When I open Firefox it does not go to my home page even though my setting are set to go to home page when Firefox is opened

I have repeatedly checked my settings for Firefox to go to my home page when opened. Instead it opens my last pages opened. I have the most current version of Firefox. This has been going on for about a week.

Signing into Google home page requires me to empty Firefox cache and cookies and restart Firefox. Any way to avoid this?

When I sign into my home page (Google), I often get a blank page. I then have to empty the Firefox cache and cookies, restart Firefox, and then when I go to the Google home page, I have to sign in with my ID and password. I have checked the box that says keep me signed in. This does not happen with Safari.
I am running a Mac with OS Lion.

Firefox will not open Google Home page at start up

When I start up Firefox browser my Google home page does not appear.

Have you checked to ensure Google is still set as the home page? See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
On the same part of the preferences dialog that you set the home page, make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".

I google home page starts correctly then jumps to the bottom of the page after a few seconds after startup.

When i start my computer with the i google home page it loads correctly, then after about 4 secs, it jumps down to the bottom of the page.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: '''View > Zoom > Reset''' (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
See [[Text Zoom]] and [[Page Zoom]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
"Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
"Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
