My home page always displayed my daily stock and mutual fund prices . With FF4, this information no longer appears. What do I need to do to correct?

The functionality exists when I use Explorer at work and it worked on Firefox until I took the upgrade. Other "customized" portions of the msn website are missing or not functioning as well.

Thanks Jerry!
So do you think this will work? The fact that my laptop has eaten up 3 HDDs now kinda makes it seem like it's a hardware issue... a problem with the motherboard. I gave this laptop to Toshiba in January when I was still under warranty, and I specifically told them that this laptop goes Hannibal for hard drives -which is not normal - and that they should check if there's a hardware issue (it had eaten 2 HDDs at that point). Clearly they didn't do that, though - they just slapped in a new hard drive. If they had listened to me, then my HDD wouldn't be dying every 3, 4 months. I've accepted that I need to buy a new laptop, but I just need something to work in the meantime while I look for one (and scrounge up some cash). 
Also, do you think the fact that nothing ever loads on my laptop will have an effect on the Recovery Wizard? I read that if even one thing goes wrong during the recovery process, everything will be completely lost and you can't even try the process again. Obviously I don't want that to happen!
And one more question: it's not 100% clear in the manual and that is what I originally came here to post about - will the "out-of-box" recovery process delete my OS? I have a Windows 7 sticker on my laptop, so I'm pretty sure it was pre-installed... I definitely don't have any disks with me. So even if it does work, will it reinstall Windows 7/MS Office/etc. automatically for me? 
Thanks again for your help!

  • The Firefox about:home page always shows "Restore Previous Session" and opens random things even after a clean exit.

    I don't like anything opening automatically when I start Firefox, so before Firefox 4 I set Firefox to open a blank page when it starts. I still had set a page I visit frequently as my home page, so I could get to that page quickly by pressing the home button. If I needed to close Firefox it was nice and easy to have the option to save my session and close (I've already searched and read another post and answer on how to restore this feature in about:config). I understand that Firefox 4 always saves your session and you can restore it from the history menu, but then I would have to remember if I had anything open and click menu/History/Restore Previous Session.
    Now in Firefox 4 I have left the home page set to about:home so if I had tabs open when I closed it I would see the Restore Previous Session "button" the next time I start it. However, when I close all windows and tabs before exiting Firefox, the Restore Previous Session "button" will be sometimes be there. If I click it, it will open a random tab or window that I visited the previous day, which was NOT the last tab/window that I had open.
    If I do have tabs open when I close it, it does correctly re-open them when using the Restore Previous Session button, it only does this if I do a clean exit (close all tabs/windows before close).
    I tried deleting the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files from my Firefox appdata directory (there were no other sessionstore.* files). This is a clean install of Firefox 4, I didn't install on top of Firefox 3.6.xx. I uninstalled Firefox 3.6.xx before installing and made sure to delete any leftover files in my appdata, programdata and program files directories.

    I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

  • Why do the options for a new Home page always appear first when I sign in when I already have a Home page?

    The screen page for creating a new Firefox Home page always shows up first when I sign on.....but, I already have a Home page and have to click again to get there.
    How can I get Firefox to go directly to my actual Home page?

  • My firefox home page is displayed in Spanish. Everything else is in English. How do I get my home page back to English

    Everything was okay this morning but when I went online this afternoon my home page was displayed in Spanish.

    when i open my computer the home page is displayed but blocked, it is not possible to open any application, even if my mouse is moving correctly

    You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
    Did you install any programs yesterday?
    If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.

    Hi lakshita,
    Would you please check whether you can go to the page:
    http://siteurl/_layouts/settings.aspx page:
    http://siteurl/default.aspx page? If so, go to Site Features in site settings page, reactivate the Wiki Page home page feature, check the result.
    If not, please check whether there is related information in ULS log and event viewer log file? Does the page shows page not found or other errors? Check whether the site can be opened in other machine?

    My home page only displays computers and settings icons. No other icon. How can I get other icons?

    Looks like a sudden error being thrown up on many ATV2 units.  Yesterday, mine was fine and today I now only have 2 icons like so many other posters.
    No amounts of restarts or restores, disconnecting and reconnecting power, restarting routers, re-logging in to iTunes has any effect at all.

  • My home page always reverts to a city in which I do not live,

    I live in Oregon and whenever my msn home page loads, it shows Vancouver, WA and will not change permanently. Very annoying.

    Websites identify your location by the IP address you are using. Your Internet Service Provider gave you an IP address that is listed as being in Vancouver, WA, so websites think that's where you live. That page offers an option for you to correct that location to your real address, you use it and it saves that info in a Cookie so it knows your correct location for future visits to that website - but you delete that cookie.
    If you would save that particular cookie, that website wouldn't forget your location once you correct it.

    Did you disable all the extensions before restarting?
    If it works in Firefox Safe-mode then disable all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
    Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:
    *all extensions are disabled
    *the default theme is used (no persona)
    *userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored
    *the default toolbar layout is used (localstore-safe.rdf)
    *the Javascript JIT compiler is disabled
    *hardware acceleration is disabled
    *plugins are not affected
    *preferences are not affected

  • I seem to have picked up some sort of virus or bug of some kind.  I'm getting personals ads throughout my Facebook and yahoo home page.  i've tried CCleaner and it takes them off but only for a short time so i downloaded iantivirus but that found nothing

    It may not be a good soloution for a novice, but I have been using hosts files to block unwanted URLs for many years with zero disasters and lots of positive results.
    As I noted, whenever I find a new "bad" site, I simply add the name to my hosts file. It takes a few seconds and then it's gone forever. I find no difficulty whatsoever.
    No, it's not for everyone, which is why I gave no specific details; but for those who are interested and have the desire to learn about these hosts files, it is a very good way to avoid "bad" websites.
    I also enjoy the "clean" view of a webpage when there are no ads showing at all. The page loads faster and  the distractions are gone.
    I never realized how much junk I am supressing until I got my iPad and saw all those horrid ads that are blocked on my other computers.
    Here is a typical result of properly using a hosts file:

  • MSN (home page) redirects to the wrong country and language

    Hello,
    I have a strange problem. I went to Mexico for vacation. While I was there, every time I open my IE, it would redirect me to the Mexican MSN. I assumed, this is normal for MSN redirects to the local (country and language) page. It redirected me to
    http://prodigy.msn.com/es-mx/?ocid=iehp page.
    Now, I am back home to US. For some reason, MSN is still Mexican. I have an option to change it when I click on the Options in the right top corner of the MSN page, but it does not remember this setting when I close and open my IE.
    My Language and Country in Control Panel are correct. Home page in IE did not change and it is
    http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=255141 If I go to this link directly, it takes me to the US MSN page.
    Not sure what else to check. Anyone can help me with this?
    Thank you.

    have an option to change it when I click on the Options in the right top corner of the MSN page, but it does not remember this setting when I close and open my IE.
    So, this sounds like more of an MSN issue than an IE one.  But perhaps you should try clearing Cookies at least for that site.  You can do that with the Developer Tools, Network tab. (F12, Ctrl-4)  Clear Cookies for this domain is the button
    that looks like a cookie with a bite out of it.  Unfortunately there is no keyboard shortcut for that option.
    Good luck

  • When i put in it the sim card and then turn the iphone the home page of iphone does not come and message come told me invalid sim or iphone is lock but my sim card is not invalid

    When i put in it the sim card and then turn the iphone the home page of iphone does not come and message come told me invalid sim or iphone is lock but my sim card is not invalid and my iphone is work with all network in sweden

    That usually means your phone is locked to a different phone carrier than the one you're trying to use.
    YOu would need to conact the carrier the phone is locked to and see if they can unlock it for you.  ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to is authorized to unlock it.

    i iPad 3 fails to recognize cellular data In a number of locations Displays "searching and No Service" I have narrowed this to device problem. What can I do?

    Hello there, OSOSANYA.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklist of steps and additional recommendations for troubleshooting issues with cellular connection:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting a cellular data connection

    Follow these steps for help troubleshooting cellular data issues on your iPhone. After performing each step, please test to see if the issue is resolved.
    Toggle airplane mode: Tap Settings, turn airplane mode on, wait three seconds, and then turn off again.
    Restart your iPhone.
    Make sure that your software is up to date:
    Check for a Carrier Settings Update: Tap Settings > General > About.
    Check for an iOS Software Update: Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    Note: Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.
    Remove the SIM Card and reinsert it. Allow the iPhone to acquire the network again.
    If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try turning it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still doesn't, contact your carrier to report the issue.
    Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Contact your carrier to:
    Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
    Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
    Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
