Refuse to load new home page at start (Window 7)

After the recent updates, the browser refuses to load a new home page at start. It "remembers" the old address, always. Probably it has not altered the registration line after the change even though it appears to have at that session. Therefore, when open again, it reverts back to the old home page address. Cheers.

Hi yuenct,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
Hopefully this helps!

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

Firefox 15 does not always load my home page when it starts up.

Started my computer. Clicked on the Firefox icon to start Firefox. My preferences include loading my home page (an html file on my computer) when Firefox starts. I have also set browser.newtab.url to the same thing.
Some of the time, a blank page shows where my home page should show.
My home page should have loaded.
If I click on "new tab", the new tab always seems to load my home page properly. It is only when I first start up Firefox that this problem may occur.
Since this is an intermittent problem, and there is a work-around (clicking on the "home" icon), this is undoubtedly a low-priority bug.

Since the time of Sea Monkey and Netscape, this problem has not arisen for me. It did not happen in Firefox 12. Only when I upgraded to Firefox 15 did this problem start happening. To me, a retired computer programmer, this feels like a regression. I'd guess at either an uninitialized vairable or a race condition.
In any case, Firefox should be able to handle being closed by clicking on the x in the titlebar. I shall continue doing so.
There has never been a hang at exit for me, so that is not something I will pursue.
In addition, since the problem did not occur ever until Firefox 15, I have done the following:
sudo yum downgrade firefox xulrunner
Both are now at firefox 12 level.
To keep things at that level, I've added to /etc/yum.conf the following:
exclude=firefox, xulrunner
I'm certain that my recent actions to downgrade will solve the problem and show that this is a regression.

FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7.

FF opens ok but why does it take so very long to load my home page.I have new laptop,windows 7. Can anyone suggest a solution please.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== yesterday for no apparent reason.

I had this problem once before, And now again.
The only thing I did different, was Instead of shutting down my computer, I click on Log off User.
Ever since then I have noticed windows XP is taking longer to load, and so is Firefox.
Hope this clue helps.

The latest verison of firefox is so screwed up it takes 110MB of ram just to load my home page, how do I go back to eariler verison of firefox thats more efficent

Firefox has worked fine for me until the latest update, with new update it takes 110mb of ram just load my home page which is google, I have a older computer that only has 256mb so when firefox uses almost one half of my ram just load it's self I can barley even do a search of any kind much less actually load a webpage.
I want to know how or what I need to do to get earlier version of firefox that's not such a hog on the memory.

Sorry, if resetting your homepage in Firefox doesn't work or that change is only temporary until the next time you use your PC or restart it, you need to uninstall that Comcast Toolbar from your PC. I don't know how or where that Comcast Toolbar for Firefox is installed, so you'll need to figure that out yourself.
The first place to look is the Windows Control Panel > Add / Remove Programs, and it is there '''Remove''' it.
Second place is in the Firefox Add-ons Manager tab - '''{ Ctrl + Shft + A }''' - if you find it there, '''Uninstall''' it from Firefox.
If you are able to get rid of that Comcast Toolbar and still have problems with not being able to set your choice for a homepage, let us know. There are a couple of places that may have been messed with by that application, like a user.js file or the prefs.js file.
I'm a Comcast user, too, although I have had this cable service for over 10 years now, with the two previous owners of the franchise for this area before Comcast bought out AT&T Cable. All three companies recommended that I have their "software" installed and I refused it each time. I told them if it was "required", they could close my account, that I would go elsewhere.

Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens.

Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens. The first tab opens Google's advance search, the second tab opens a blank window. I always want Google to be in a new page.

You can look at one of these extensions:

Press ALT or F10 in your keyboard to make the Menu Bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or right-click the Navigation Toolbar (the Reload button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
If this doesn't help, right-click the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible, or right-click the Navigation Toolbar and select ''Menu Bar''.
If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

Pointing to new Home Page

I've created a new home page for my site (www.shigmurao.org) and have changed the internal links to point to the new home page. But if you type in the URL for the site you still get the old home page. How do I indicate that visitors should be directed to the new home page?

I created my website nearly 6 years ago with iWeb. It's hosted at GoDaddy. When I first started I didn't understand a lot about all this and know only slightly more now. Under "Site 1" on my left menu in iWeb the first page is the home page with this very unhelpful description of my site "Create-home-decor-jewelry-recipes-fashion.". As you can see I meant it when I said I had no clue starting out. I desperately want to change those words now to get better results in searches but I'm terrified to make the change because I don't understand what the ramifications might be. I've never changed the words and republished but lwhen I've tried substituting the words with new ones all the pages go read indicating the entire site will have to republish and that scares me. I have a very big site and I'm afraid of losing it, iWeb crashing, or links on the internet and Google no longer finding me, etc. My site offers Free Craft Tutorials and that's what the description on that home page should say, nothing more. So my question is, what are the ramifications, if any, for making this change? I'd appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!

Why won't Firefox load my home page?

Firrfox will not load my home page. Safari and chrome both load it fine.My homepage is www.yahoo.com. It will allow me to log in to my yahoo.mail account but not home page?

It is nothing systemic with Mavericks. I have a Yahoo home page and it works perfectly with FireFox.
It's possible that you have some FF add-ons that were not upgraded to a newer version when Mavericks was released--that is quite common. It is the job of the add-on developers to keep up with the major OS developments, not the other way around.
Open FF and do Tools > Add-ons. See if any extensions, appearance add-ons, or plug-ins show that an update is available.
Another thing that can cause grief are the various anti-virus and "I'll Clean Your Mac" programs being foisted upon Mac users. They can play havoc with browsers. Have you installed any? I hope not!
If these do not help, I sugest you try FireFox support:

What's the problem?

What's the problem?Something is wrong ...
That is a generic error message saying there is a code error. We need a lot more information. Something along the lines of:
- operating system (incl patch level) and specifics about which Oracle XE you decided to install;
- whether your system is on a network, what kind of connection you use, etc;
- whether this is Oracle's supplied code or something you wrote or modified by hand;
- exactly what you typed to get to that point;
- whether this ever worked;
- whether you had any problem in the installation, or any logs or trace files show up.
In other words - the more details you can provide, the more we might be able to help.
(We can not see your system, watch over your shouders, or read your mind. Either you provide the details - even if you think they are irrelevant - or we assume things.)

Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

yes;
I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

New Home Page (with EMail Previews)

Two of our email subaccounts are not getting the new email home page, where the preview of your emails are listed. In the last few days once in every few days the new email homepage appears.The next time we go to the page it is the old home page with previews of the email. The only individual who always gets the new home page with the preview of their email is the main account holder. Can someone explain why this is happening?
Holly
Solved!

Have you tried to see if the same thing happens when you access the accounts from another computer?

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all the tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

Firefox 26 does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session, irrespective of what has been entered in "Options". The browser is running in Win 7.0 64-bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides the security functions. There are certain "cloud" solutions also running such as Google Drive, Box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves similarly in all my machines (the setup and OS is similar to the one described above) and no amount of resetting of "Options" seems to affect it . Nor is it affected by the manner Firefox is closed. It is obviously a bug that needs to be fixed.

u wait for firefox next update
otherwise
1. go to firefox tab .
2. click on help ->trouble shooting information.
3. reset ur browser .
ur problem is solved
