Start page lacks menu items - unlike "How to set the home page" view

I have just downloaded the beta of Firefox 4 and am attempting to reproduce opening home page from previous version. Directions on accomplishing this (loading the NY Times front page) depend on a menu bar with "File, Edit, View, History" etc. There are not visible. They are shown in the directions on Firefox Help but not on my computer. How to do this??

Click the Firefox button, then click Options. This will open the options dialog that the [[How to set the home page]] article refers to.
When viewing the support articles, in the right-hand column there is a section titled "Help With:", make sure it is set to Windows and Firefox 4 to get help relevant to the version you are using. In some articles you get different content when you select Firefox 4.

  • Firefox 4.01. I wish to have "Mozila Firefox S tart Page" as Start Page. I have used "How to set the home page" (tools, options, general, restory to default) but no result.

    # Numbered list item

    The part you are probably missing is
    When Firefox starts: "Start my Home page" (in the dropdown)
    the installed default home page is about:home in Firefox 4, but simply choose the "Restore to Default",
    then click on the "OK".
    see [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help]
    If that is not working then try instructions , and following the instructions suggest taking a picture of your toolbars first, so that you will be able to recustomize your toolbars afterwards, see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf Corrupt localstore.rdf - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
    After resetting, continue with [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Toolbar_customization Toolbar customization - MozillaZine Knowledge Base] and if you used small icons -- don't forget the checkmark for that in the dialog.

  • Firefox vers 5, crashes continually. Plus, it doesn't hold my home page. Needs reset every time the app has been closed. So with each crash, another home page reset. How can these issues be corrected. I know how to set the Home Page in the Option tab.

    Closing Firefox 5.0 resets Home Page to /www.searchqu.com. I know how to set it in the options tab.Earlier versions never had this issue. Plus, I return after being away to find that a "crash error" apologizing for the inconvenience. How2 can this be corrected?

  • How to set the home page in FF14.0 for Android?

    Just installed FF14.0 for Android. Previous versions allowed users to set their own home page - how is this done in this version?

    Shame Firefox does not have ability to support this.
    Have recently downloaded Firefox Beta for Android & had been using Aurora. For both - get this Tab home page - not user choice. Was hoping the ability to select own Home Page would be added to a future update.
    Didn't like this feature in Chrome - so deliberately don't use Chrome in any OS. Lots of people complained about this in Chrome. Not sure why Firefox would want to restrict what users can do??
    (A key feature of Firefox & Netscape before it is that users are able to control & optimise for their own experience - which is the main reason it has been so well supported over many years.)

  • Every time I go to a new site, I also get "How to set the home page: Firefox help. How do I stop this?

    This is a Firefox help page that I didn't request, nor do I need.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • How to set multiple home pages, the option is gone (replaced my hard drive and had to reinstall firefox) This version seems to only offer tabs, not pages?

    My old version of Firefox had the option for me to set multiple home pages. My hard drive recently failed and had to be replaced, so I had to install the newest version of Firefox. The only option I see when I go to tools, options, general is to set the one home page. (and maybe tabs) I would like to open several of the same pages every time I open my Firefox. Does anyone know how to get this back, or which version had this feature so I can downgrade to that particular version?
    Also, I was wondering if there is a way to get the bookmarks I had on the old version back. I think they are lost forever, but if anyone knows, I would be thankful. I do still have the old hard drive, but the way it failed was actually when you tried to open any browser, the hard drive would go and blue screen, this is why the old hard drive had to be replaced. Thanks. :)

    So you mean you want to open new windows with the same page when you open Firefox?
    [[How to set the home page#w_set-more-than-one-website-as-your-home-page|Set more than one website as your home page]] should help if you want to open multiple pages when you open Firefox.
    As for recovering your bookmarks, you can try to plug that hard drive into a working computer, and then read [[Recovering important data from an old profile]] to copy your bookmarks from it. However, if it is failing you may not be able to do that.

  • I CAN'T GET THE "WHATS NEW" PAGE FROM COMMING UP FIRST. I CHANGED THE HOME PAGE IN THE PREFERENCES, IT DIDN'T HELP...

    I CAN'T GET THE "WHATS NEW" PAGE FROM COMING UP FIRST. I CHANGED THE HOME PAGE IN THE "GENERAL SETTING" IN PREFERNCES, I RESTORED THE "DEFAULT HOME PAGE" NOTHING HELPS.
    IF I CLICK IN ANY WEB LINK THE "WHATS NEW " PAGE KEEPS COMING UP FIRST. I THEN HAVE TO "X" IT OUT AND RE-CLICK ON THE WEB LINK FOR IT TO RELOAD. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG?

  • Howcan I set the home page for new tabs?

    When I open a new tab, it opens up as a blank page. How do I setup Firefox so that the new tabs open in my home page?
    ''locked by a moderator due to age and that Firefox 13 has a new feature for a new tab''

    Thanks, but the problem I'm trying to solve is to get my home page to open automatically when I am already in Firefox and click on the new tab "+" sign to the right of my most recent tab. I have not found a solution to this in the link "How to set the home page" nor in the various help pages on new tabs.

  • How do I set the Home Page for a newly open tab using the File Tab Menu??

    When I open a new tab, is there a way to set the home page the new tab will use when it is opened, or will new tabs always be opened as blank pages?

    I have new windows opening when I click on a link. Or when I click on the FF-Icon. New windows are the default setting.
    When a new window opens, I get a Google home page and can instantly type in a search phrase.
    With the above in mind, sometimes I want to keep search classes in the same window. In a sense I'm using the Window with no tabs, to generate a tab by using the File Tab option.
    When a Tab is selected where new windows will launch a new page, and not a new tab, the process of forcing a new tab onto the window will produce a tab page that is Blank, and the new tab label description displayed in the tab area shows the words "New Tab". That tab's URL address bar is blank. Zip - nothing displayed.
    When a blank page tab appears, I click on the HOME button you helped me remodel, and the "New Tab" description in the tab label area changes from "New Tab" to "Google".
    My question was to ask, if there was a way I could do something to make FF4 do that Home page assignment on its own. In the early FF days I found you could sometimes go into the bowels of FF, find some form of INI or SETTINGS type file, look for a Keyword reference that would tell FF to do something different, and Viola, emotional issue resolved. In this case, I'm trying to "Gild the Lilly" by asking if you, or someone else might have a rabbit they can pull out of their hat, just like you did when you helped me move my Home button, and have that rabbit show me how to do something that default FF-Options section doesn't support.
    Did I do a better job of explaining the issue this time?
    Thanks again for the response.

  • How to set the HOME link from two frame jsp page to no frame main page?

    Hi all,
    i have one main jsp page named as main.jsp.
    From the main.jsp, i can click the button and link to the twoFrame.jsp.
    This twoFrame.jsp have another two different jsp inside the frame called Aframe.jsp and Bframe.jsp.
    i try to put HOME in the Aframe.jsp(one of the page inside twoFrame.jsp) but only the Aframe.jsp manage to link to main.jsp but the Bframe still there.
    My question is: How to set the HOME link button from this twoFrame.jsp to the main.jsp? what i want is from twoFrame.jsp(two frame) to main.jsp(no frame).
    rgds,
    Bryan523

    No offense, but this is basic HTML. You shuold look into learning HTML before getting too deep into JSP. Try this: http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
    But as a more specific answer, you have to set a target for the link to the _parent of your frame:
    <a href="main.jsp" target="_parent">Home</a>

  • How can I set the home page in iPad safari?

    Opening Safari, the screen shows the last page used. Is it possible to set a home page so that, for example, Sfari always opens with the Google search page?

    Safari doesn't have a homepage as such, but you can create a homescreen shortcut for a particular page : go to the page that you want and then tap the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it to the left of the URL address field and you should get an option to 'Add To Home Screen'. You can then just tap shortcut on your homescreen to open Safari on that page (it will still re-open any other tabs that you had open when you closed Safari)

  • No matter which page i run... i should get the home page first

    Hi,
    i have some jspx pages in my application
    No matter which page i run... i should get the home page first
    Because there is a chance that the user might remember the url of a certain page and copy paste that one in the browser... in such type of scenarios also home page should come first
    After i implemented Adf security in the redirect upon successful login i took the home.jspx page... but it is not going to home.jspx when i run some 'x' page and give the credentials for authentication.
    This for our project they dont want to implement at taskflow level for each and every taskflow... is there any higher level where we can implement such feature because home page is common for all.
    Thanx,

    No matter which page i run... i should get the home page first

    After i implemented Adf security in the redirect upon successful login i took the home.jspx page... but it is not going to home.jspx when i run some 'x' page and give the credentials for authentication.Just create a filter and put some logic like the one below:
      if(!request.getRequestURI().contains("homePage"))
                 ((HttpServletResponse)servletResponse).sendRedirect("http://server/yourApp/faces/homePage");
      else
          filterChain.doFilter(request, servletResponse);You can easily search for how to create a web application filter and register it in web.xml ..
