Not opening "home page" tabs

since being forced to go to version 29, I no longer have a status bar nor does my chosen group of home tabs appear.
I am completely unimpressed by how every iteration of Firefox appears to be more and more of other people trying to force me to use it in some manner they deem "best". This is *not* their role.

'''''Home Pages'''''
Has something in particular replaced your home pages? For example, previous session tabs or an unfamiliar home page?
Getting unfamiliar pages can be caused by an extension overriding your selection. You can review, disable and remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. The currently enabled extensions are listed alphabetically, then the disabled ones on a gray background. If you don't recognize an extension, or do not plan to use it in the next 24 hours, try disabling it to see whether that affects your next startup.
If only your desktop shortcut is affected, and Ctrl+n and the Home button work normally, the shortcut may be hijacked. (I don't know how shortcuts work on Linux...)
'''''Session History'''''
Please check these settings.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Make sure the following preferences are set to their default value or higher:
* browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo (number of closed tabs remembered, per window; default is 10)
* browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo (number of closed windows remembered; default is 3)
As you can see, customized preferences are bolded. If you see any other bolded preferences starting with browser.sessionstore, could you right-click > Copy and paste them into a reply? We can advise on whether they might be related to this problem.

  • Safari will not open home page and other glitches since upgrade

    Strange stuff happening since I did the Combo Upgrade 10.4.11. Safari will not open to my home page. I have used preferences to set the home page but closing Safari and restarting still opens a blank page with no URL in the address box. I also noticed that several pages I have opened that have log in fields don't allow tabbing to the next field. I have checked all the preferences and every thing seems right. I have trashed Safari and its preference folder, downloaded the upgrade and used Pacifist to reinstall Safari. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions. Still I can't can't get a home page to load. Before the reinstall, I synched with .Mac to save my bookmarks and synched again afterwards to bring them into the fresh install of Safari. What should I do now?

    Here is a culmination of my searching and efforts that fixed this issue for me. I find it necessary to run Disk Utility more frequently.
    1) Trash Safari preferences in all user accounts:
    Computer/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    2) Empty trash
    3) Move files from Input manager to desktop
    /Users/YourUsername/Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    4) Restart computer
    5) Close Safari if automatically opens on restart
    6) Open disk utility: Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
    7) Verify permissions
    8) Repair permissions
    9) Reopen Safari
    10) Return Input Manager files from Step 3, ONE FILE AT A TIME from Desktop to Input Manager Folder and Restart between moves.

  • Safari not opening Home page at start-up

    I prefer Safari to open my Home page when it is launched at computer start-up via login items.
    Safari 4.0.5 launches OK at start-up but it does not open my home page - launching it from the Dock does open my Home page.
    Is there a setting I can change to get it to open my Home page at computer start-up?

    HI,
    From the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache...
    Restart your Mac and see if Safari loads with your home page.
    If not, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
    Now go to Safari/Preferences - General. Set your home page and restart your Mac. If it works as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash.

  • FF4 will not open home page -- say try again. I cannot get home page to come up and therefore cannot even get startedno

    FF4 has been working just fine but recently stopped loading loading home page (igoogle) upon startup -- says could not load page try again -- try again returns same response and as a result I cannot go anywhere and am dead in the eater. IE work just fine but I prefer FF4. OS is XP

    To do this your device should be firstly connected to computer and iTunes is open. Put your device into dfu mode: 1.turn off your device 2.press and hold power and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds and release power and keep holding home until iTunes says a device in recovery mode. now should be able to restore.

        Hi Rohit ,
    I had copied these .class & .xml files under Myclasses -> oracle.apps.icx and oracle.apps.po and oracle.apps.fnd was same which comes part of the standard OA tutorial.
    I copied same under Myprojects as well.
    you have to decompile the class file into java file and then place it in Myproject directory , also copy all dependency files like BC4J components , and then
    try to run from Jdeveloper .
    Alternatively you can get the entire ICX folder and zip it and add it via library .

  • Despite home page set as default,prefs file being deleted. (twice) it still opens in welcome window, alongside is my home page tab,add on checking doesnt finish .

    everytime I open firefox. checking for add ons flashes up and disappears then welcome page opens, my home page tab is alongside it. I have uninstalled firefox. deleted the prefs file. instructed my privacy programme to ignore firefox all to no avail. I know I can edit user.js but not sure how. I can open it in notepad as instructed in help files but have no idea what to do next and what to edit.

    Do you have a file user.js in the Firefox Profile Folder?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Such a file isn't there by default, so if it is there then either you or other software or a Firefox extension has created it.

  • Plugin download page opens as adiitional tab along with home page tab. which needs to be stopped

    Have you tried resetting your home page from Options > General? Which plugin is that? I have not seen a plugin update open a new tab.

  • Firefox opens with home page tab and blank tab.

    When I start Firefox (2) tabs open, my home page tab first and a blank tab second.

    Does this occur other times that you navigate to your home page, such as:
    * Opening a new window (Ctrl+n)
    * Clicking the Home button or pressing Alt+Home on the keyboard
    ''If so,'' there might be an extra vertical bar character toward the end of your home page setting. You can check that in the Options dialog:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > General
    More info on that:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    ''If not,'' it's possible that there's something odd in the shortcut you use to start Firefox. You can check here:
    right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
    The target field should have this, no more, no less:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

  • New tab will not open web page

    *error message when opening firefox= "Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem.

    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
    See:

    My IPad mini hangs on the Internet. Will not start. Have rebooted the home and on / off. There is internet in the house (using it now). Getting the message: Safari can not open the page ...... What do I do?

    Try this:

    2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Everytime I open Firefox - it takes a really long time and reopens the Firefox Update tab that says "Choose your Persona" and "More ways to Personalize" tab along with my regular home page tab. Sometimes it tries to load the add ons too and takes a reall

    Every time I open Firefox it tries to install the same updates (that I don't want) and the Firefox 3.6 "Choose Your Persona" etc. tab opens along with my home page tab. It takes a really long time to get onto Firefox because of these problems.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Don't remember

    Well, this worked on my desktop! But my problem is on my laptop. :-) I'm running XP, but there was no "Username" under Documents and Settings under the C drive. I did a search for those file names and it wasn't there. I found Mozilla Firefox folder under: C\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Mozilla Firefox. There are 2 - 1 is Mozilla Firefox (shortcut) and the other is Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode). I did a Mozilla Firefox search and this is all that showed up.
    When I click on the shortcut link (the 1st one), it opens up 2 screens of Firefox. One is the "this is embarrassing" screen. The other is "Choose your Persona" screen. I closed it and reopened and it took me to my home page.

  • I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my computer is slow and will not open some pages  can i uninstall

    I installed safari 8.0.1 and now my mac is really really slow and will not open some pages. Can I uninstall?

    Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them. In that case, there's no need to repeat the answers.
    Have you restarted your router and your broadband device (if they're separate) since you first noticed the problem? If not, do that now and see whether there's any change.
    If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Any change?
    If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab in the Preferences window and uncheck the box marked
              Stop plug-ins to save power
    Any change?
    Quit and relaunch the browser. Any change?
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Enable Private Browsing in the Safari menu. Any change?
    Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
    If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test. Any change?
    If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test. Any change?
    If only Safari is affected, launch the Activity Monitor application and enter "web" (without the quotes) in the search box. If a process named "Safari Web Content" is shown in red or is using more than about 5% of a CPU, select it and force it to quit by clicking the X or Quit Process button in the toolbar of the window. There may be more than one such process. Any improvement?
    Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Photos, if it's checked. Any change?
    Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
    If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
    If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?
