My homepage does not show the latest page when I open Firefox

I have set MSN as my homepage but when I open Firefox it does not show the latest MSN page.

'''''Has the site worked normally in Firefox before?'''''
When you have a new problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a window listing the site's cookies, which you can remove individually.
Then try reloading the page and logging back in. Does that help?

  • Control panel does not show the home page when Newsstand app is open - could this be a bug?

    When Newsstand is open and I press the home button twice to access the control panel, the home screen is replaced by the Newsstand app. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix?

    Pressing the home button twice does not access the control panel ... at any time.
    To access the control panel, press the home button once to get to the home screen.  Then swipe up from down near the home button to view the control panel.
    Pressing the home button twice generally shows you the apps that are running.

  • Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when Help-About Firefox says I do?

    There are/were three problems:
    '''1.''' Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when '''Help>About''' Firefox says I do?
    '''2.''' Also, with the 8.xx version, I was unable to open in a new window with a right click until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I am curious.)
    '''3.''' When I tried to uninstall the older version the uninstaller told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

    1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1
    From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as '''about:home''' has been in use since Firefox 4.0
    Either ignore the message, change homepage to '''about:home''', change it to another page or leave blank.

  • Using 36.0.1 clicking Help does not show the latest update 36.0.3. Why?

    I feel nervous about directly using pop-up reminder messages to update software. I am aware that there are frequently false messages that appear to be from a company whose software I use, and that clicking on them to update, can cause seious problems. Therefore, I always go to the companysitge to get an update. When I tries to do that for 36.0.3,, I was told to click on "Help->About Firefox", and the resulting window whould have a place to click to install the latest update version. WhnI did this, the window showed no such option. Why?
    When I tried to send a 25 KB GIF file with the image of the About Firefox window, it never completed uploading

    Hi BuzzBloom, you are correct, when you click "Help->About Firefox" then the update process begin immediately and after the update ends then exist the option "click to install the latest update....".
    you can update firefox if you download the full installer from the next link and run it over your current version : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    thank you

  • After I have finished at a site and want to go back to the start page the "go back arrow" does not show the start page how can I fix this

    I am using Fire fox 3.6.15 which was updated on the March 6th.
    The Start Page will open and allow me to go to any site but when I want to return to the Start Page via the 'go back arrow' the Start Page is not listed.
    I am wondering if it is part of the new upgrade.

    It's actually not hard to fix. I had the same problem on my Bold 9700. You need to go to the main desktop on your Blackberry, and find the Messages icon (it looks like an envelope - same-looking icon as your email icon). Click on it, then scroll thru the messages. You'll find a message with same annoying little yellow circle icon, and the URL of the web site you tried to access when your Blackberry powered down. Click on the URL, and let your Blackberry load that web site. Voila! After that, the Browser Notification Icon will have disappeared.
    I wish that future versions of the Blackberry OS will alow you to click directly on the notification icon and get taken to the relevant app (as happens in Windows). As is stands, the notification icons are more annoying than useful.

  • Sometimes my back button is greyed out and does not show the previous page i was just looking at!?

    This randomly happens and i can not tell exactly what i do or why.
    All i know is that every time you visit a page,site, picture etc... the back button remembers every page you have just been too in that session.
    However some times the back button goes grey and i can not click on it and it loses all the previous pages i have been to.
    I can reopen the last pages by going to my history but it's really annoying as it takes time and as i surf and look at a lot of things, the back button is crucial for me.

    I am experiencing the same problem with the back button randomly being greyed out and not functional. If I navigate to the same page a second time, the back button is usually functional again... have not been able to associate this behavior with any particular site

  • Gmail contact manager does not show the whole page, right side is cut off.

    I use Gmail which seems to have few problems with Firefox 4.0, however, when using the Contact Manager the page runs off the screen and there appears to be no way to adjust the page size in Gmail to fit the Firefox layout. Is there a fix for this?

    Thanks. I had already found the same solution you found. I think the problem occurred when Firefox upgraded and my settings got changed.

  • When posting to a forum the new version of Firefox does not show the post. When I start up IE and go to the forum there is the post. However Firefox 4 will not show the post. How can I fix this issue?

    Recently I upgraded to Firefox 4. I frequent various forums where I post advise on various subjects. I am finding that version 4 is showing the threads in the forums, allowing me to log in and to post. However the posts as sent in are not coming up at all, even if I get out and return, the page is not "refreshed."

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

  • Safari will not load the home page when I open it. It defaults to last open window. I set preferences to go to home page but Safari decides otherwise.

    Mac Mini - Yosemite 10.10.1 The home page in 'Safari Preferences > General > Home Page' will not load when I start the computer (automatic log-in). Safari is ticked to open at log-in. It opens with the last previous web page displayed prior to shutting down the computer.
    I have looked in 'System Preferences' > General but did not find anything relevant. Ditto 'Security' and 'Privacy'

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • I am not gettin the google window when I open Firefox. What do I do?

    The window where i was able to type in what i was searching for is not there. So I cannot search anything/ How do i restore that window in my Firefox home page/

    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    *Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
    *Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    *If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    *If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

  • Since the latest update, when I open Firefox , I get an "Exception..."Component returned failure code: 0x80004005....skype..ff_extension/content/browser Overlay.js

    Within the past few days when there was a Firefox update, every time I start Firefox, I get the following message (shortened in the middle): Exception..."Component returned failure code: 0x80004005...skype_ff.extension/content/browser Overlay.js"
    When I clicked on a link on the US Bank website, I received [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [ISkypeFfExtension.Initialize]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://skype_ff_extension/content/browserOverlay.js :: <TOP_LEVEL> :: line 9" data: no]
    In both cases, if I click OK, the process I requested then takes place. What do I need to do?

    If you're having this issue open Firefox, go to Tools on the Firefox tabs at the top of your browser window, and click on Add-ons. This will take you to your Add-ons page. Click on Extensions on the right side of the screen and scroll down to the Skype extension add-on. Click on "Disable" to disable this extension. Once this extension is disabled your problem should be fixed. In my case it repaired the problem.

    * Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    * Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

  • My firefox page does not show the bar that shows me file, edit, tools, etc bar. How do I get it back. thanks

    My Firefox page does not show the bar on top where you have "file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help etc

    Firefox 3.6+ versions have a feature to allow the user to hide the Menu bar.
    Hit the '''Alt''' key to temporarily show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar, so it has a check-mark. <br />
    The F10 can also be used on most PC's to temporarily reveal the Menu bar.

    Sounds like a driver issue. I never tested in bridge, so I could be wrong. But it sounds to me that when you are connected to that screen, your settings are not set to the full resolution of that screen.
