My Firefox doesn't open to the set homepages, and My back/forward/refresh buttons are constantly greyed out.

When I open Firefox it shows a blank page. When I press the home button, the tabs I have set as home pages appear as normal. The back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are all permanently grayed out and unresponsive.
I have updated Firefox, uninstalled it, re installed it and still it doesn't work.

Hello.
It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.
If the problem is not disappears when all add-ons are disabled, you can go into ''Tools > Options > General > When Firefox starts:Show my homepage''. As for the interface being unresponsive, hopefully that's some problem with an add-on. But you may want to try going into ''View > Toolbars > Customize... > Restore Default Set'' to restore the interface to its default configuration.

  • What happened to the color of the Back/Forward/Refresh buttons?

    Hello,
    With FF4 I noticed that you ripped us off on the color of the Back/Forward/Refresh buttons. Right now I am trying very hard not to call you a bunch of baboons. I don't see well and, to me, color is more important than discretion. Can I get the color back? Or better yet, can I import my own button icons? Please fix this.--ckd

    You can change the colors by using a theme such as Firefox 3 theme for Firefox 4 - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-3-theme-for-firefox

    Hi weaver15,
    You should try changing your home page to:
    about:home
    I think this is probably the page you are looking for. If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    Hopefully this helps

  • When I open a new tab is doesn't open to my set homepage as it would if opening firefox from start. It instead opens to a "default" page with pogo powered by yahoo, I want to change to google. How do I do this?

    Opening firefox from begining, I have been able to set it to always open to google as it was in my old firefox default settings. If I remember correctly when you opened a tab, it would automatically open to the homepage. I'm not expierencing this with the new version. It is automatically going to the default page rather than the set homepage. (I just have learned to prefer the google search over the yahoo search over the years and am resistant to changing over, sorry)

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).<br />
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • After closing firefox, the next time I open it my homepage has gone back to the default homepage and not the one I tried to set as my home page.

    I've tried multiple times to set my home page to Yahoo.com
    It works as long as I have Firefox open, but if I close Firefox and then re-open it, the home page has reverted back to the default home page, not the one I set.
    This has not happened before updating to 3.6.10.

    There are several possible reasons for it being reset, for details see [[Preferences are not saved]].

  • Internet Explorer opens up sometimes, not always, when I open Firefox. I have Firefox set as my default browser. IE tries to open at the same time and slows my computer way down and it is slow to close.

    Mozilla Firefox tries to open but the IE screen opens on top of firefox. This does not happen everytime I open Firefox.
    I take online college courses which link to outside testing websites. Wondering if this is triggering IE to open sometimes

  • Firefox doesn't open main page but one of the site sections instead

    I'm trying to read a news website gazeta.ru, but Firefox opens a sports section gazeta.ru/sport. IE Tab or other browsers work fine, so it must be a problem with Firefox/addon settings.

    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.<br />

    I'm using FF on another computer, and pages that I have used in the original have opened, except for Twitter. I give the PW and the message for saving the password appears, but Twitter's HP page doesn't open, instead the registration page is the one that does...

  • Firefox doesn't open with profile even after creating a profile through Profile Manager.

    I created a profile of Firefox yesterday using Profile Manager. And placed it in a virtual encrypted drive created by TrueCrypt. But Firefox didn't open with the profile. Instead it opened in default setting that Firefox usually gets when newly installed. I tried to select the profile through Profile Manager and open Firefox but to no avail. Even tried placing the profile in the Profile folder in Firefox pathway in AppData. Still same thing. At last reset Firefox and the profile was deleted. Now I'm with newly default setting. Luckily I had saved my bookmarks from Bookmark Manager.
    I just wanted to save a profile so that only I can only access my profile and any other person would just had to use default setting. Also to restore my settings in case I install a fresh Firefox or reset Firefox to solve a problem.
    Please help me fulfill my wants as stated above and why did it not work yesterday with the Profile Manager?

    Hello ams963, i think the problem is with TrueCrypt because it is not support your win 8 yet. see: http://www.truecrypt.org/
    http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/version-history
    see if can find a method in the next link, not too useful i think for your win 8 : [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Protect_the_profiles_contents Protecting the contents of the profile]

  • File doesn't open all the time

    I have created a numbers file that has several different sheets and on each sheet different tables.
    There is a lot of referencing in the file from one table to another.
    First it was about 307Kb (14 sheets) and then, adding some new sheets (up to 19) and tables it went up to 549 Kb, that's when the problem started. Sometimes the file opens, sometimes it doesn't, I get the colored ball and I can only force quit. When I re-start the computer it mostly opens.
    What can be the reason for this? Is there a maximum of referencing (there are lots of VLOOKUP's?
    Best regards,

    (1) It seems that something is wrong in your system so First point keep a backup of a version which open.
    (2) as the odd behaviour doesn't strike at every attempt, trying to open in an other user account will not be fully meaningful but try to do it.
    If it fail, we will know that the oddity is not specific to your original account.
    (3) If we can't know if the problem is specific to your account, quit the app and move its preference file :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Numbers. plist
    on the desktop
    Restart the app and use it this way for a period of time.
    If the problem disappear, we will know that the culprit was the preferences file.
    (4) save you document with an other name as a Numbers '08 one.
    I guess that some formulas will be dropped in the process but don't worry.
    Open the newly created '08 document with Numbers '09.
    During the process, I hope that possible oddities will be dropped.
    Open also the original '09 document so, you will be able to easily use copy-paste to restore thge formulas which may be gone in the process.
    (5) as the oddity strike randomly, we can't exclude a material problem :
    a Ram failure, a HD failure
    So, running the Harware test application available on the install DVD may be a good thing to do.
    (6) the problem is not linked to the number of VLOOKUPs
    (7) I quite forgot to urge you to check the document memory requirement.
    Before opening it or even before launching Numbers, launc "Activity Monitor" which is available in Applications:Utilities.
    Then launch Numbers and at last, open the doc.
    You will see how many Kbytes are required in RAM and on the HD (iWork apps make an heavy use of "virtual memory" which is HD space)
    Maybe your installed RAM is a bit short or maybe your HD is too filled leaving an insufficient space for a correct behaviour.

  • How can i get the homepage i want to remain the perminate homepage? I have done everything it tells you to set homepage and it only saves it while the current browser is open. When I close out browser and reopen it is gone.

    When i set the homepage of my choice it will only remain until i close out the browser. once i reopen the browser it is no longer there. The past version of firefox would keep the homepage of choice. I have done everything that is necessary to set homepage and it will not save it. What needs to be done?

    Which web page is getting reset as the homepage?
