My browser opens with the previous session page, not my homepage. Why? How can I reset it to open my homepage everytime?

I want my homepage to open to my homepage everytime I open my browser. I think the browser is saving tabs from my previous session but I'm not sure. I'm really beginning to get aggravated with this browser and I love firefox...please help me fix this issue.
BTW, I tried to go to 'tools/options...' but I have no idea where my 'tools' is. When I click the firefox button on the top left of my browser it doesn't give me a 'tools' tab, and options just talks about toolbars and such. I don't get it.

For access to the Tools menu:
Firefox, along with a number of Windows programs, will show the menubar (File, Edit, View etc...) when you press the Alt key. You can then choose 'Options' from the Tools menu.
Alternatively, click on 'Options' in the Firefox Button menu.
(If you'd like to keep the menubar around without pressing Alt, click the arrow next to 'Options' and select 'Menu Bar'. The Firefox button will be replaced with the menubar.)
Setting your homepage:
Open the Options panel and select the 'General' tab if it is not already selected. You can change what happens 'When Firefox starts' from here.

    Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it.

  • I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    I am very confused. When I wanna to update my apps in app store, it shows the account which is my iPhone one is not my iPad one. how can I reset to my iPad account?

    And I am very confused by your query. Your iTunes account is the same on all devices - unless of course you have multiple accounts to begin with.
    If you do have another Apple ID that you use for the iPad purchases, you can sign out of the account that is on the iPad in Settings>Store.
    Perhaps a few more details from you could clear up the confusion???

    First, have the recipient check any anti-spam filters that may be present on her email account or in any email application to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked. If she is sure that is not the case, go here:

  • Why does Safari open with the last page viewed from the previous session rather than my homepage?

    The only way I can get Safari to open to my homepage when starting a new session is to be sure to close all windows from the previous session before quitting Safari.  If I don't go through this process, Safari opens to the last site I accessed before quitting.  What am I missing?

    I am having the same problem but in Mountain Lion the "System Preferences -> General -> Number of recent items -> UNTICK "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps." option is not available. The only thing now is "Close windows when quitting an application." which I have ticked.  Under recent items there is only a list of numbers.
    This seems strange to me. Any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Hello trilltacos,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your iPhone.  It sounds like you are being prompted for the Apple ID and password to disable Activation Lock.  If this is your Apple ID and you do not recall the password, you can reset the password at the following website:
    Apple - iForgot
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    If the iPhone had a previous owner and you are being prompted for the Apple ID and password of the previous owner, you will need to contact the previous owner to be able to use your new iPhone:
    What if I purchase a device that is still linked to the previous owner's account?
    Contact the previous owner as soon as possible and ask them to erase the device and remove it from their account. For complete instructions, read how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.

    Choose the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices and selecting the correct device.
    Click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been removed from the previous owner’s account, turn it off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button located on the top right side of the device. Then restart your device and proceed with device setup as you would normally.If the device has not been erased
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.

  • HT2515 My cam works fine with every program except yahoo.  If I just sign into yahoo or even if I use ichat for yahoo, the webcam button will not highlight up.  How can I fix this and/or what am I doing wrong?

    Hello, my father recently passed (using his ID) and I took over the payments on his mac and took his computer.  I am not that familiar with mac, but am usually computer savy.  However, this one has me stumped.  I have no problem starting the built in cam and it seems to work fine with all other programs I've tried using it with.  However, it will not work with yahoo.  Whether I use normal yahoo messenger or if I try using Yahoo through I chat.  The cam button will not light up, therefore, it is not clickable.  Which ultimately means I cannot use my cam on yahoo, which is something I use 99% of the time compared to other programs.  So why is this happening and what solutions can I take to try and fix this?  The mac I am using is: Mac OS X, Version 10.7.4
    Thank you for any and all help, it is much appreciated. 

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    1) If the iTunes preference window is open when you connect your iPod, the iPod will not be recognized by iTunes.
    Also, iPods can work with many iTunes libraries, so that is not the problem here.
    Is all the software on your computer up to date?
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    Does the iPod show up in My Computer when connected to your computer? Does it say Do Not Disconnect?
    Try the steps listed here...
    iPod shows up in Windows but not in iTunes
    If you are going to use your iPod with multiple iTunes libraries (home and school)...
    Using iPod with multiple computers
    2) What part aren't you understanding. Here are a couple of free programs you can use to convert videos...
    MPEG Streamclip
    Videora iPod Converter
    The programs should come with documentation and instructions to convert videos.
    3) You can go to file-->add file to library, file-->add folder to library, or have iTunes open and drag the files into the iTunes library while viewing the library.. You can also import from CDs.
    iTunes needs to be adding the songs to the iPod. You cannot just add the song files to the iPod.

  • I have photos with the same numer but they are different photos how can I fix that?

    I have photos with same names but they are different photos. Can I rename these photos ? How can I do this?

    you can save a file with the same name by dragging and dropping from iphoto to a Finder folder
    but (and there are always buts) you can only do up to 4 photos at a time
    any more and you are not given the option
    This is the error message you get:
    An item named “IMG_8770.JPG” already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you’re moving?
    4 or lesss  your options are:
    Keep Both       Stop       Replace
    5 or more your options change
    Skip     Stop    Replace
    it will add a space and a 2 to the name
    IMG_8816.JPG  turns to IMG_8816 2.JPG
    this is the solution I was looking for; let the computer do the name change
    Cheers!
