Safari will not open to home page

I down loaded Lion and now Safari will not open to home page and preferences are set for home page?

Thanks, At least I know I am not the only one. I have had nothing but problems down loading Lion. First I did not have enough memory so I spent $128 for up grade to 4 GB. Then I down loaded Lion and it crushed my disc and spent another $181 to up grade to a T1. Then down loaded Lion to find out a lot of bugs with it. For what was to cost me $29.95 end up costing me $339.
You would think I would learn by now not to up grade at once. I am one of the dummies that spent $699 for the first iPhone for them too drop the price weeks later.
If I figure out answer I will post for you asap.

Firefox will not open to home page as directed in options and settings. Opening in safe mode makes no difference, either. Any ideas?

Firefox will not open to home page as set in the settings. Even in safe mode, it still will not open to home page as directed. It seems to want to open to last set of tabs, even though that is not the way it was set in settings. It seems as though the settings do not have any impact on the way it behaves!!!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":

If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.

Safari does not open in home page.

Safari does not open with the "home page" set in preferences. Always opens with the last page viewed prior to quitting.

I have the same problem (10.7.2., Safari 5.1.2 on an iMac). In System>Preferences>General >Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. (Uncheck). The box is unchecked. In Safari>Preferences>General I have the following settings:
New windows open with: Same page
New tabs open with: Same page
Homepage: http://www.nytimes.com/
Whenever I open Safari I get a blank page (and I have to click on the Home Page icon). This has never happened in my Power PC with Lion (now sadly in computer heaven) nor my MacBook with Snow Leopard. Closing windows individually or closing Safari itself doesn't matter. Re-opening Safari gets me a blank page. Any advice?

Safari does not open to home page or last page visited

When I open Safari, it does not load to my homepage, or to my last visited page. Instead, it loads to a page, which I visited a number of days ago. Does anybody have any ideas why this may be?

Ok...
Try emptying the Safari cache. Command + Option + E or from the Safari menu bar. (A "Reset" does not empty the cache).
Also, check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
And try restarting your Mac.
If nothing helped, quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For LIon: To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library

Safari 6.1 will not open with home page

I can't find a sensible setting in Safari 6.1 for opening up and opening new windows.
I really need the product to open onto the "home page", and open new windows with the "same page".
Can I downgrade?

>>...open onto the "home page", and open new windows with the "same page".
There aren't options to get that - as you've probably seen, 'Safari opens with' has only two choices, & if you choose 'A new window' there, you'll get whatever is set for 'New windows open with'.

Safari 7 will not open multiple home Tabs

I have my home page tabs properly set for safari to open 4 sites when Safari is started. On my Mac Pro(Mid 2010), they do not open properly in Mavericks on Safari startup. However, if I click File>New Tab, all of the startup tabs open, along with a new, blank tab.
On my Macbook Pro, they open properly. I've searched the forums for this behavior. I do NOT have glims, so I'm not sure what is causing the issue.
Any advice on how to solve this issue would be appreciated.

Try deleting the cache.db associated with Safari.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Have lost return button and will not open to home page even though it is set to

Return button no longer works and home page will not open even though it is set to do so. I"ve reinstalled firefox, but this didn't help
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hello Rick.
You may be 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 coming from 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] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. 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 theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
If you need to restore your interface, you can go into ''View > Toolbars > Customize... > Restore default set''.

Firefox STILL does not open the home page when a new tab is selected

I have just 'upgraded' to FF4 and expected that the irritating 'new tab homepage load situation' would have been resolved by now: sadly, it looks to STILL be around.
MS IE has been loading the homepage DIRECTLY when a new tab is selected for about FOUR YEARS now, so I'm staggered that such a simple but very useful feature is not available in Firefox.
The obvious question is WHY??
In IE, you don't have to keep hitting the home page button to carry out a search in google when a new tab is selected, and IE does NOT need an 'add-on' to incorporate this functionality; it really is quite irritating that the function is still not built-in to FF, and the coding requiret to incorporate the function ain't rocked science Mozilla people - WHY has this not been put into effect by now?

Some people prefer a blank tab because it takes no time to load. Some people prefer their home page. Some people prefer a list of most frequently used sites. It would be convenient if all of these options were built in, but obviously no one stepped up and made it a priority.
By the way, another way to search in a new tab is: Using the search box (on the toolbar), after typing your query, either press Alt+Enter or Ctrl+click the magnifying glass. This opens the search in a new tab and saves that step.

Safari 4 can't open Apple Home Page?

Starting yesterday when Safari 4 top sites page showed me a star on the Apple Home Page thumbnail, I go to www.apple.com and get a "Slow Script" error message telling me that S4 is no longer responding for that reason. What's up with that?

Several times a day I get this message "Safari can’t open the page “http://www.apple.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding."
Is it me, or is there something horrifically wrong with Safari? And before anyone asks, yes, I did restart/update/reload/redownload/delete cache/toss plist/start completely over...
...I've had so much trouble with this computer it's ridiculous. I've wiped it clean and restarted from scratch so many times it's wrong...

For some unaparent reason opening a new tab does not open my home page google. Been ok for years

Now on Firefox 28.0. I got an update for Divx and installed. Following this new tabs were direct to search.conduit. I uninstalled this but now when I open new tabs I get a blank page and have to manually direct to my homepage. Previously a new tab opened automatically as my home page (Google). Starting Firefox gets me the correct homepage. How can I ensure that each new tab opens to my homepage?

Your settings might have switched when you installed DivX. You can set the new tab page to something different by the following:
*Navigate to about:config
*Click ''I'll be careful, I promise!''
*Search for '''browser.newtab.url'''
*Double click the string, erase ''about:newtab'' and enter the one you want (www.google.com)
*Close down Firefox and re-open.

FF does not open my home page, it serves an empty page

I have google.com set in preferences as my home page. When FF 4 (I just installed yesterday) starts, it serves me an empty page, not what is set in preferences. How to fix this?

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

Firefox will not open Google Home page at start up

When I start up Firefox browser my Google home page does not appear.

Have you checked to ensure Google is still set as the home page? See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
On the same part of the preferences dialog that you set the home page, make sure the setting "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my home page".
