My Bookmarks was visible on the top of the Home Page but now I have to click Firefox to access it

The Home Page has changed and I have to go thru 2 steps to access Bookmarks which used to be located onthe top of the page. Canthis be changed?

Beta 10 is available, so you can update via Help > About Firefox
There is also a Bookmarks Menu button that you can use to access the bookmarks. That button appears on the Navigation toolbar if the Bookmarks Toolbar is hidden.
There are other things that need attention:

How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.

The older version would let me drag the icon bookmark to the tool bar but now I have to make a whole new toolbar just to add the one bookmark i loose too much page room this way. Is there a way to do it like the old version?

Removing the favicons, changing the titles to 1-4 characters without spaces, and putting some or most into folders still readily accessible from the bookmarks toolbar
would help a lot. Also changing the size of the bookmarks toolbar text and color with a Style to differentiate between folders and bookmark/bookmarklets would help, see

Sounds like you are in Full screen mode. Run your cursor to the top of the page and click on the blue arrows on the right hand side.

What happened to the icon of the "house"? After searching the web or checking my e-mail I could alway click on the house to return to my home page. Now I have to keep clicking the back arrow or enter my home page on my google search.

The home button has by default moved to the right hand edge of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back by right-clicking on a toolbar, choose customize to open the customize toolbar window, then with that window on display you can drag and drop icons to move them.
If the home icon is not at the right end of the navigation toolbar, use the procedures in the following link to restore it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

Home page bookmarks save last page in each site I was in; not the home page of that site

I have several websites saved as my home page - fine, this is not a problem; they all open okay. But; instead of going to the home page of each website - which is what I have set, several times now - it insists on going to the last page I had open '''within each website''' this causes error messages & I have to re-load the site, as for obvious reasons it cannot always find the last page I was on. (Example: one of the sites is 'Transport for London'; I set the home page as one of my tabs; but if I have been trying to plan a journey, Firefox will try to open that journey search the next time & will get an error message instead). Is there any way of fixing this? I think the 'set home page' is not working properly.

Maybe it is something to do with
I set all the tabs 'exactly as I want them to open, and click 'use current pages'
Try setting them as th ehome page such as http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ with the pipe "|" separator between each one.
If you do not mind disclosing the info show your homepage settings as pasted from the troubleshooting page. I have just tried
*browser.startup.homepage
**http://www.tfl.gov.uk/|http://www.google.co.uk/|about:home|about:blank|http://www.bbc.co
I have done a journey search and restarted with no problem the London Transport homepage shows.

I have lost the upper and lower tool bars on the Firefox home page. Now I have to scroll my mouse to the top of the screen in order to bring them up. How can I get the bars back?

The home page fills my entire screen now and it didn't before. This happened about a week ago. I tried to do a Restore on my system but the problem still exists. The Firefox button on the left has disappeared too.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

When I close the browser and then re open it it does not go to the home page but opens to the last page that was open when I close it.

Every time We have been closing the browser for the last few days when we restart the browser, regardless of weather we shut down the computer or not, it reopens to the last page that was opened. I cleared out and deleted the history but it did not help.

Maybe you currently have your home page setting to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" instead of "Show my home page".

Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version. 
You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.
See:
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Server+not+found
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firewalls
If you posted from another computer then download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

When I click the home button firefox switches to the home page, but also opens a new tab with the firefox startup page.

This is so annoying. I wind up with a bunch of extra tabs that I have to close.

Make sure that you haven't set multiple home pages, separated by a pipe (|) symbol.

When i open my browser it does not go to the home page but the last page that I was on in my previous internet session. whats going on here?

Ok so I open my Firefox browser but when it opens it does not go to the homepage. It goes to the last page I visited in my previous internet session. My homepage is www.imdb.com but lets says I go to www.facebook.com and then i close the window; if I reopen firefox it will go to the facebook page and not the homepage. This happens all the time and it even happens after I restart the computer. It always goes to the last page I visited. Like this page for example where I posted a question. Once i close firefox, and then open it again, it will come to this page and not the homepage. Is this supposed to happen? It started happened a few weeks back. I reinstalled it and it still happens. thanks.

Hi eaglerabbit,
This is a pretty easy fix. Just go to ''Tools > Options > General'' and change the preference for what Firefox should do on startup. You probably have it set to load tabs and pages from your previous session.
If that doesn't work, you should look at the Knowledge Base article [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

When I am on an Internet site, my iPad will suddenly flash a grey screen and then go back to the home screen where I have to start Safari again and reopen my page. It does it frequently sometimes 3 times within 5 minutes. Anyone else have this trouble? It is driving me crazy!

After starting up Windows I double click the Firefox icon and nothing happens. So I have to double click Firefox again and it opens. But now I have 2 open Firefox browsers. What do think makes this happen?

I always have to click on Firefox twice in order for it to open because nothing happens on the first try. The first try never ever works.

I understand that Firefox is no longer working on your Windows Tablet. The development of Metro did stop and has been discontinued. However what version were you on before this started to happen?
