How do I get rid of the quicklink tips under the google search bar on the Firefox home page?

I want to lose the quicktips that appear under the Google search bar when I open Firefox

You can install the Stylish extension and add the above posted code.
*Stylish: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stylish/
See also http://userstyles.org/help/stylish_firefox
About changing the above mentioned browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref:
Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key to open the about:config page, just like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
*If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
Use the search bar at the top of the about:config page to locate the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref more easily.
Double click the line with this pref to modify the value and simply remove the URL that you see to leave an empty string field.
Click OK to confirm the new empty value.
This will disable loading new snippets from the server.
Steps 2-4 are about clearing already downloaded snippets, but you can skip this and only hide the snippets with the Stylish extension.

Default home page links do not work

Before i updated to 34.0.5, I had images on a new tab page and on the default home page, i could click on the quick links. Nothing on the default home page works! I have no images on a new tab page! What happened?

You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the about:config page and set that pref to your preferred new tab page.
* the default home page is about:home
* the default new tab page with the tiles is about:newtab
* for a blank page you can use about:blank
See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):

Home page settings do not work?

I did the upgrade to FF 9.0.1 and it seemed to work fine. I set my home page to Google but when I open Firefox it still opens the "Thank You for Upgrading" window in the first tab and my home page in the next tab. How do I get rid of this first tab. Please don't tell me to change my home page settings because that does not work.

Home page tab does not work

my home and featured artist page does not work on my site. All other pages are accessible but those

Hello Madaline,
Please provide us with the URL to the site. Some component may also be lying on top of the menu items (overlapping them), hence making them non-clickable, but that'll need to be confirmed.

Output byte[] (image) to JSP page from Servlet - not working - why??

I'm testing some new code in my servlet. I'm changing the method I use for pulling an image from the db (which is stored in a Blob column) and then displaying it in a Jsp page via <img src="go.callServlet">
The new way works up until the code that outputs the image (bytes).
Here's a snippet of the code -
 rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select image from images");
 rs.next();
 Blob blobimage = rs.getBlob(1);
 int index = 0;
 in = blobimage.getBinaryStream();
 BufferedImage orig = ImageIO.read(in);
 //resize image
 GraphicsConfiguration gc = getDefaultConfiguration(); //calls method in servlet
 BufferedImage image = toCompatibleImage(orig, gc); //calls method in servlet
 final double SCALE = (double)max_Width_Large/(double)image.getWidth(null);
 int w = (int) (SCALE * image.getWidth(null));
 int h = (int) (SCALE * image.getHeight(null));
 final BufferedImage resize = getScaledInstance(image, w, h, gc);
 //convert bufferedimage to byte array
 ByteArrayOutputStream bytestream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
 // W R I T E
 ImageIO.write(resize,"jpeg",bytestream);
 byte[] bytearray = bytestream.toByteArray();
 bytestream.flush();
 res.reset();
 res.setContentType("image/jpeg");
 while((index=in.read(bytearray))!= -1 ) {
 res.getOutputStream().write(bytearray,0,index);
 res.flushBuffer();
 in.close();
 //.... I know for a fact that the process of getting the image as a blob, making a BufferedImage from it, having the BufferedImage resized, and then converted into a byte[] array, works! I tested by putting the result into a db table.
I just don't understand why it is that as soon as it gets to the code where it should output the image, it doesn't work. Its frustrating:(
Here's the code I use regularly to output the image to the jsp, works all the time. The reason I've changed the method, is because I wanted to resize the image before displaying it, and keep it to scale without losing too much quality.
rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select image from testimages");
 rs.next();
 Blob blobimage = rs.getBlob(1);
 int index = 0;
 in = blobimage.getBinaryStream();
 int blob_length = (int)blobimage.length();
 byte[] bytearray = new byte[blob_length];
 res.reset();
 res.setContentType("image/jpeg");
 while((index=in.read(bytearray))!= -1 ) {
 res.getOutputStream().write(bytearray,0,index);
 res.flushBuffer();
 in.close();
//...Can someone shed some light on this trouble I'm having?
Much appreciated.

I hate to bother you again BalusC, but I have another question, and value your expertise.
With regards to using the BufferedInput and Output Streams - I made the change to my code that is used for uploading an image to the db, and I hope I coded it right.
Can you please take a look at the snippet below and see if I used the BufferedOutputStream efficiently?
The changes I made are where I commented /*Line 55*/ and /*Line 58*/.
Much appreciated.

Tabs won't close? Help Procedure: Set Home Page %7C does not help

I have more than 100 open tabs that will not close.
Help procedure Options: Home Page: %7C did not work
Reinstalled Foxfire did not work.
Now what?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well. 
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

How can I get the cursor to appear in the main search window on the Google home page by default?

The cursor in my Firefox appears in the address bar. I would like it to appear by default in the main search window on my default home page, Google.com. How?

This is all very Greek to me. Is it really this hard just to get the cursor to appear in the main search window when Google.com is one's default home page?
I don't really know much about Firefox extensions. My list includes Adblock Plus 1.3.8; Duplicate This Tab 1.2; Java Console 6.0.25; Java Quick Starter 1.0; Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0; New Tab Homepage 0.4.3. Nothing unusual is indicated for either Java item, Console having been updated 4/27/2011.
What to do next?
Thank you.

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

Why does Firefox impose Google as a search engine in it's home page?

I've found Firefox to be very unstable when it comes to choosing a different home page & search engine, frequently ignoring my choices & reverting to the default settings between launches. This also applies to Google & the choice of language if it's different to that of the country the person's in, which is my main gripe with Google, it doesn't detect the language of the operating system but that of the geographical location, forcing one to alter the settings every time, which is extremely annoying! Please do something about all this if possible, thanks.

I installed ios7 last week. The Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. Problems with facetime the previous day, but that is solved. What's up with Safari?

I installed ios7 on the iPad last week. Problems with factime, but solved with online support. Now the Safari screen is blank, and nothing works in the Search bar. What's up with that? All other Internet uses are working.

Hi, a too full hard drive can really mess things up.
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, , try to clear at least 10 GB of space & empty the trash, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

how eo get rid of the annoying pop-up box just below the search box on the mozilla home page when I open mozilla?

That is the snippet container.
You can hide that container or set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty String on the about:config to make Firefox use some default snippets.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
You can hide the box that shows the snippets with code in userContent.css
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
*ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document url(about:home){
/* hide snippet container on the about:home page */
#snippetContainer { display: none !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
Can you attach a screenshot if you mean something else?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

Home Page setting does not survive a system re-start

I have recently started to have trouble with my Firefox Home Page. The settings get lost when I close Windows down and re-start.
I run Firefox 7.0.1 on Windows 7 Starter (SP1).
What have I done?
Set home page to iGoogle in Windows, set home page to iGoggle in Firefox
Result: Home Page setting does not survive a re-start.
Set home page to Blank in Windows, set Home Page to iGoogle in Firefox
Result: Home Page setting does not survive a re-start.
Set home page to iGoogle in Windows, set Home Page to Blank in Firefox
Result: Home Page setting does not survive a re-start.
Checked Firefox help, advised to edit User.j(?) file. Following the instructions failed to locate the User. file, a search of the entire C: drive failed to locate the file.
What next?

''' "Set home page to iGoogle in Windows ..." '''
Firefox has its' own setting for the Firefox homepage, it doesn't use "Internet Options" settings in Windows. 
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
As far as not having a '''user.js''' file, it isn't a standard file in Firefox. It is an optional file that the user creates to "lock" certain prefs or it might be added to Firefox via an add-on or by an "exploit" perpetrated on the user by another piece of software that they installed.

I'm on Firefox 3.6.8 running on a 2008 IMAC with OS 10.5.8 yet every click to move pages, from start-up, to return to Home Page takes minutes, not seconds! If I use Safari that's greatly faster on this same set-up. How do I get Firefox to be as fast ?

== Some time back, beggining with Firefox updates, at least three, or more updates ago.

Thanks for the tip. I took the following steps:
1) Backed up the existing profile (presumably corrupted somewhere);
2) Deleted the existing profile;
3) Moved the existing Firefox to the Trash and downloaded a fresh copy;
4) Started Firefox (thus allowing it to create its default profile)
5) Copied the following files from the backup copy of the previous profile: places.sqlite, key3.db, signons.sqlite, permissions.sqlite, persdict.dat, cert8.db ---
I'm posting this from a Firefox browser, so I guess I'm OK now.
