Unlink Facebook 'home page' & contact pictures

I have Facebook contact sync off, but it has been synced before (so the pictures in their contact cards are their FB profile pictures). Is there a way to remove these photos and the 'home page'/facebook link, other than manually?
For example in each contact that was previously linked to a FB account, in their contact card there is a 'home page' field (fb://profile/00000) and a 'Facebook' field with their name. I want all of this crap gone!!
Thanks!

I agree is is not a third party issue. My phone has been crazy since the update (but wasn't great before). This is my second phone because of problems I have had with it. It does crazy things like when I unlock the screen the time is ALWAYS exactly an hour prior to the actual time (and the time zone is correct). Also, when I go to send a text message, the message appear correctly but if I click on them quickly when I start typing I am actually sending the message to the person that was in that message slot 24 hours before. My text messages no longer show my contact photos even though I don't have "phone only" checked. I have tried both with and without being synched to FB but still no success. And another weird thing, since the update I have discovered I am able to take a screen shot and that is without an app because I've never downloaded one or even tried that...it was an accident the first time and I did it again and again and it works. Craziest phone I've ever seen. I do want a solution to my photos being in my text message contacts. Their names are there with their numbers, just no photos, no matter if it is a saved photo from the phone or a FB linked contact

TS1398 I seem to be experiencing some technical difficulty when trying to load up my Facebook home page and also other people's FB home pages. My iPad initially starts to load the page, but then abruptly closes Safari. Any ideas on why/how to fix?

My Safari abruptly closes when trying to load my Facebook home page or the home page of others. It seems like there is too much info trying to load so it just shuts down. Any ideas on how to fix?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

My facebook home page is missing:top news, most recent, app requests, game request,and friends on chat....can anyone help?

After I updated Firefox I started having these issues...my Facebook home page is missing the following items: Top Stories, Most recent, App request, Game request and Friends on chat. Also the posts are all outdated, out of order, and they repeat themselves.

Using Firefox and trying to get AOL as home page..no matter what I do - facebook home page keeps coming up...any ideas on how to get rid of the facebook home page. Thanks.

I went to AOL page and moved the aol icon to the house....and also went to tools options and changed to the aol address.....all okay until I reboot then the facebook home page comes back.

I'm running Win XP and have found a solution to this problem.
The Norton Utilities software has a 'disk cleanup' function.
I ran this to get rid of all nonwindows code in my computer.
Afterwards, I edited the program registry. using START>RUN
and typing REGEDIT into the dialog box for the program name. Using
the 'edit' function and the 'find' function in REGEDIT, I located all
instances of the string 'searchqu/406',Changing all of them to 'google.com'.
Just for good measure, I ran the registry scanning function in my Norton Utilities software. The problem hasn't come back.
I then changed my homepage back to my ISP's homepage. The problem hasn't come back, even after closing the browser

Firefox is not loading the requests and invites on the right side of the Facebook home page. AOL is loading everything correctly.

Firefox in not loading the "requests and invites" on the right side of the Facebook Home Page. I don't think it is a Facebook problem because AOL loads it correctly. This is the third day I have had this problem. I don't like to use AOL because it is much slower. Please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I opened Facebook three days ago

Whenever I try to use Firefox, an unwanted Facebook home page apprars.

Whenever I try to use Firefox, an unwanted Facebook home page appears. I have removed all Firefox and Facebook files and and then downloaded Firefox again, but the Facebook page continues to appear whenever I click on Firefox. What can I do?

This [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/900550 help thread] on the same issue (i.e. Home Page Setup) should help you resolve it.

Facebook home page has shrunkto 30% of size ofprint. Fix???

when I am on facebook through explorer and my font size changes there is a "gear" in the upper right corner that when I right click on it it lets me restore the font size(%).when I'm on waterfox I cannot find that feature that lets me restore the font size. I don't know how it shrunk so much in the first place unfortunately. I'm hoping there is any easy fix I haven't thought of.It only happens on the home page.When I go to my games off the homepage everything is normal size

This problem with the font sizes sounds like an issue with the page zoom. Firefox remembers the zoom levels you set on pages or sites, so that would explain might why Facebook looks smaller on the home page.
If you have Firefox version 29 or higher, then when you click on the Firefox menu on the right side of the window (the 3 horizontal bars icon), you should see a percentage in the center column near the top of the pop-out menu. Clicking the minus sign to the left zooms out, clicking the plus sign to the right zooms in. Clicking the percentage number in the middle resets the zoom level to 100%.
You can also change the zoom in the View menu, near the top-left of the Firefox window. (If you don't see the File, Edit, and View menus by default, just hit the Alt key and they should appear.) From there it's View > Zoom > Reset.
You can also zoom in and out with the keyboard shortcuts: "Ctrl +" to zoom in, "Ctrl -" to zoom out, and "Ctrl 0" to reset the zoom to default.

My Facebook home page will not display my profile photo in Firefox but still does in IE. How can I fix this?

Since installing the new Firebox I have been unable to get my Facebook profile photo to appear. The same goes for the profile pics of FB friends in the chat list.

You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the Media tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Opening a new tab by right clicking from Facebook home page

Whenever I right click and go to a new tab I get a messed up page. This happens only on Facebook when helping friends or viewing something from a post. It only happens on Firefox, tried it on IE plus on 2 more computers. Also when I am playing a game...ie FV and wish to post for help...the box just sets there showing it working but never opens fully so I can post.
Will be glad to send a copy of what the page looks like when I open a new tab if you need it.

here is what the page looks like when I open a new tab...is there anything I can do to fix this...Thank You

While trying to load scrabble game via my facebook home page, it will not load within the time allotted. Are you getting other questions about this problem? Is it a Firefox issue? Thanks.

the message "Facebook is taking longer than usual to respond. If this problem persists, refresh your browser or try again later." appears every time I try to access the game. Facebook acknowledges a problem, but I'm wondering if its a problem with my server. Thanks for any feedback.

When i click a link on (facebook, google, yahoo, etc) it sends me back to my home page. It has done this at least 5 times only starting yesterday the 29th, one of numerous issues arrisen since the newest 4.0 security update.

This issues persists mainly on my two most frequently visited sites, Facebook, and deviant art. When I click any random link on any random page, the link would send me back to my home page, as if i had clicked the back button when i hadnt. I cant specify what links specifically, but it has done it twice on my facebook home page, once on a google search and several times on Deviant Art. On Deviant Art, I was several pages into the site when i clicked on a users gallery and it sent me right back to google, the back button wasnt active, but the forward button was, when i clicked the FORWARD button it went right back to my last page, just as if i has hit BACK. This problem has only been apparent for the last 2 days since the 29th, and only after i installed the last security update provided by the firefox team. seems like a bad coding error that mixes up and redirects addresses, that would be my guess.

And maybe you don't talk to too many people but I've been on many forums on different websites where people have had similar problems and a lot of people in the store were having battery problems where they were draining too fast. What I learned is that all the people who did not download the updates are good. There phone is working the same. The people who have, they're having battery problems
I have downloaded every update and my battery life is better than any previous iPhone I have ever owned. I see posts from hundreds of people every day, and this is not a commonly reported problem. While there are a few random reports of battery problems, it is no more than I have seen for any other model or any other version of iOS in almost 8 years. Usually problems of rapid battery drain can be traced to bad apps (FaceBook is the worst offender) or corrupt data being synced from iCloud or other sources (gmail, Windows Live, Yahoo, etc).
The simple test is to restore the phone as New. Do not create any email accounts. Do not install any apps. Do not enable FaceTime or iMessage. Do not enable Twitter or any other social networking app. Use it for a day and check the battery usage. You will find that it is working well.
And also see this: http://www.overthought.org/blog/2014/the-ultimate-guide-to-solving-ios-battery-d rain. It is the best treatise I have seen on the subject of battery usage.

Suddenly I have to log in to my home page every time I start firefox.

when I started firefox my facebook home page used to log in automaticaly, but now I have to log in to facebook. Why was it changed?

It sounds as though Firefox is not successfully saving your Facebook cookie between sessions. It's also possible that some security software on your computer is zapping your cookie.

For some reason, when ever I click on a link to go to another page in an existing page like facebook or YouTube, I'm taken back to my main startup home page

I cant navigate inside firefox.... this page here has been the only place that my mouse will take me to any new page... when I try to go to different links inside any of my normal sites, like facebook or youtube, if I click on any link inside them I am taken back to my main home page.... I also can not single click open any of the icons next to the firefox name at the top left of my screen, history, bookmarks, tools, none of those work unless I hold my mouse button down and then scroll down to what I need... I have cleaned my mouse, and it works fine on my husbands comp, and works fine offline on mine... it is only in firefox that I seem to be having a problem... what can I do?

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)
