Start Page Icons

I can not line up my icons on the start page ... the first group is fine, but the next group is 1/2 icon down of the rest.

Hi,
You can drag the icons to a location as you want, or do you mean that you're unable to drag the icons? What is the meaning of "next group is 1/2 icon down of the rest." A snapshot would be helpful for understanding.

I want a new window to open a blank page, instead it opens start page and cant grab icon in new tab to set as home page.

New tab blank page icon is not selectable and therefore I can not click and drag it to home page icon. Other pages work, but not blank pages. I do not want Firefox Start Page.

Install an extension that adds that feature to Firefox.
New Tab Homepage extension:

or
NewTabURL extension

How can I stop the...(icons?)..and .firefox ball from bouncing all around the Start Page?? It's VERY ANNOYING. frustrated dino

How can I stop the little pictures (icons??) and the firefox ball from bouncing all around the middle of the start page, which is my home page (?) It's VERY ANNOYING and DISTRACTING!

If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default set.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to the default value to re-enable the snippets.

Can I add my email earthlink icon to my windows 8.1 start page as a pin?

I would like to move my desktop icon to my windows 8.1 start page as a pin. Can this be done and how do I do it?

I do know that this was a bug for Metro right before they stopped developing. It may be possible to pin websites.
Swipe on the right and click on the Start for Windows 8 . On the bottom you need to click on All apps. Right click on Firefox and select "Pin to start. " There you go.

Mozilla start page is default but will not open until home icon is pushed

The Mozilla Firefox start page is set up as my default page but all I get is a blank page. When I first open Firefox, the start page comes up; but for all new tabs all I get is blank page and on the the tab it says "New Tab" is there some way making all new tabs go to Firefox start page?

A blank page is the default for a New Tab and there is no setting in Firefox to change it to the Homepage.
You can middle-click the Home button to open a new Tab with your Homepage.
Or you can install this extension to change it to your Homepage. 
New Tab Homepage extension: 
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777

The search box in the middle of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page and the icons at the bottom of the page have mysteriously shrunk in size. How do I correct this?

Everything else on the Start Page is properly sized.

Hey,
have you tried resetting zoom levels by going to ''View'' > ''Zoom'' > Reset?

Click on Firefox icon, Firefox Start Page appears, but no access line for internet, no back or forward arrows, etc.

When I open mozilla, the Mozilla Firefox Start Page tab comes up with google box in the middle of the page. No access panel to internet, nothing to click on, no back/forward buttons, etc.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar & Navigation bar, so they have a check-mark.

How to set a New Tab as the start page in Firefox and lock in my choice of web sites

You may set the New Tab page Firefox shows when opening a new tab as its start page, and you can lock in the web sites you want displayed there.
I set my browser to open a New Tab as its start page and have locked in six destinations from which to choose on my start page.
First I open Firefox and open a new tab. Then I delete any open tabs other than this New Tab. Optionally, I can also set a second tab to open to a specific web site
Next I go to Tools and Options (or Edit and Preferences in Linux) and select the General tab on the far left. Click on
[Use Current Pages].
Each time I open Firefox it will open showing me the New Tab.
I can select from pages that I have already visited the six pages I want to have appearing on my New Tab every time. Supposing there are no pages locked in yet, and I don't want the site in the top left. I hit the X in its thumbnail's top right corner, it disappears and every other site thumbnail moves up and there is a new site appearing in the sixth slot. Note that if I have visited one page frequently, it may appear more than once, or be replaced by itself. If that happens, just keep deleting until the page you want shows up.
If I find a site that I want to save, then there is a thumbtack in the top left corner of the thumbnail. It is black, but if I click it it turns blue, and the thumbnail is a keeper.
This web site is in the second row, second over, but I want it to be up on the top row. Just drag and drop and the two sites exchange places. Make sure it has a blue thumbtack. The lock-down thumbtacks and delete X symbols appear in the top left and top right, respectively while the mouse is hovering over them.
It is possible to delete a saved site, and it is possible to undo the thumbtack. Simply click the X to delete or click the blue thumbtack to unlock the site and turn the thumbtack black.
You may choose to tack down a few sites and let the remainder float in and out, driven by your browsing history.
Through my use of this approach, I have instant access to my club's web site, two Webmail sites, and some other often-visited places on the Web, all in one start page.
About the only thing I really don't need there is a Google search box, for if I enter my search terms in the address bar I get the same result as if I had specifically typed in the search box.
Some add-ons, often potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), will replace the Firefox about:newtab (address of the New Tab) with eBay, Facebook, Twitter icons among others, and a different search engine. These icons may have a nicer appearance than the default Firefox New Tab, but you may also be looking at extra, unnecessary work for the computer, especially if behind the pretty icons there is a hidden agenda.
Personally, I would stay clear of these add-ons, and perform some scanning with an up-to-date antivirus and antimalware software.

If this is not a pinned (App) tab then the home page should open in that tab.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

How can I get Firefox to run on Windows 8 Start page instead of my Desktop?

I have the Icon for Firefox on my Windows 8 Start page, but when I click on the icon to use the Internet my view goes straight to my desktop.

hi WarriorEthos, firefox on windows is a desktop-only application. it does not run in "metro" mode.

When I click on the Moilla button on my desktop, the firefox start page that shows up has no Mozilla button to access print, history. options etc., it just says mozilla firefox start page at the top. rt page tc.

When I click on the Mozilla icon on my desktop, a mozilla firefox startpage come up that has NO mozilla button to click and access print, history, options etc. Also the whole page automatically shifts down slightly to show only google question box and no address bar. Also, there used to be a place where I could click on most accessed pages, but that disappeared a couple of weeks ago. I have an HP computer and never know what the start page will look like.

Hey plainmad,
Did you recently upgrade Firefox? I would be willing to be that everything is still there, it's just hidden. Take a look [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article]. It will give you some tips on how to bring back any of the options you might not see.
Hopefully this helps!

Restart Finder by pressing option + command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved.

page would automatically come up. Now I must enter the user name and password every time to access the personalized start page. tried to find some settings that needed changing but no luck. is this a problem with iOS 8 Earthlink referred me to apple they could not help any help here

Hello nkrlw,
It may be that AutoFill is disabled in Safari, or that Private Browsing is on.
Go to Settings > Safari > Passwords & AutoFill and make sure that Names and Passwords is on.
Go to your Home screen and open Safari. If Safari is black or dark instead of white or gray, Private Browsing is on. Safari doesn't save account names and passwords when Private Browsing is on. To turn off Private Browsing:
On iPad, tap the the plus icon in the upper-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.
On iPhone and iPod touch, tap in the lower-right corner of the Safari page, then tap Private in the lower-left corner.

How do I get rid of annoying arcade game on new firefox start page?

Most recent update of Firefox plays an annoying arcade-type game on the start page. How can I get rid of it?

Heheh, it's Mozilla being cheerfully quirky on the Firefox page (you are talking about the Mozilla Firefox Start Page or "about:home", right?).
If so, Mozilla will be changing it with another image in the future; I don't know when, though. For now, you have a few options:
* Set Google/Bing/etc. as your homepage so that you won't see the Start Page when Firefox launches.
* Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/?src=userprofile Stylish] extension to remove the image.
'''Using the Stylish Addon''':
# Click the Stylish icon > Write new Style > For this URL (as seen in the first image below)
# Create a style as seen in the second image (you can name it whatever you'd like, but <code>#brandLogo {   visibility: hidden; }</code> must be kept. This makes the arcade game invisible. If you'd like to remove it altogether, swap <code>visibility:hidden;</code> with <code>display:none;</code>.
Save your style. A few weeks later, you can check to see if the arcade game has been removed by Mozilla by disabling the Stylish style on the Start Page. I know it's not a straightforward fix, but it's the best I can do. :)
I hope that helped you!

I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?

When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started about a week and a half ago.

Hello Linda.
I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com

My Thunderbird is stuck on 'folders' I can't get it back to 'start page' Please can anyone tell me how to access the start page.

I installed Thunderbird a couple of days ago. Now it only opens on 'folders'page and there is no way to get back to start page or the toolbars. I have tried re-start but it still goes to folders. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it as I can 'get emails or write till I can get out of folders page.

You can't delete it, look on all screens and inside all folders. If you still can't find it on your phone go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. If you really mean folder though, you'll just have to keep looking. This just restores the Photos app icon.
