Unwanted web page appearing. How do I block or delete?

I web browse with Mozilla Firefox V6.0.1. and my home page is http://www.google.com.au/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official. McAfee Virus Scanner is operable and current.
My problem is, that after web browsing and having multiple tabs open, when I close each tab individually, the final page that always appears is the following -
http://artandcolour.blogspot.com/2011/02/study-in-blue.html. It never appears when I having been using only one tab.
This web page has never been accessed on my computer, so do not know how it is appearing like a home page each time I close off. Another interesting feature of this “rogue” web page is that it is not recorded in the Library list of accessed web pages.
Are you able to tell me how to block/delete it permanently?

I don't have a psycho ex, but I really don't want followers!! I wanna post whatever I post and the rest is my private life! Music is a very essential part of my life since I am a musician. So if, for example, I was listening to a certain set of songs, say, for an audition... someone who knows the set of songs knows I'm going to an audition. Probably I wouldn't mind but what if I did?? I couldn't do anything!
And yeah exactly, what if there's someone who you really don't want in your life or knowing about your private matters? Spotify still includes that person in your life cause "it's all about discovering new music". ?!?! I don't need to discover anything for anyone else. I can do all the discovering by myself if I choose so.
THIS IS REAAAALLY annoying!! Plus I was never told my account had suddenly been RE-connected to Facebook during a Spotify update, after I had with special effort managed to totally disconnect it.
I don't want FOLLOWERS, I don't want you to POST ANYTHING for me, I don't want you to SHARE anything for me, I just wanna LISTEN TO MUSIC, okay?!?
I rarely get very mad but this really pisses me off. I'm paying for this service and still they decide what I wanna do with it!
Get it fixed NOW, please!

Since installed ver 7, I am now getting ads showing up on my web pages. How do I block them like they used to be?

When I go to my regular websites, such as Drudge and Fox News, all the ads are showing up now, even ads prior to viewing videos. They used to be blocked. I would like to get rid of them again.

hello, this may be a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

See also this article about caret browsing: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Scrolling_with_arrow_keys_no_longer_works
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you can disable the F7 shortcut that toggles caret browsing by setting the pref accessibility.browsewithcaret_shortcut.enabled to false.
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

PHANTOM web page loads on startup. Upon startup, an unwanted web page loads up. My preferred web page "A" is still shown on the settings under -Tool-Options-General, home page address is correct and home button works correctly.
Some file somewhere is forcing this page upon startup. I would like some ideas where to look.
I have run various utilities such as AVG, Tweaknow, and spybot s&d newest version.
Its just annoying to have to look at Yahoo Brazil upon startup
A few months back, someone suggested some reset setting in Firefox, boy what a mistake, took a long time to get things back the way I like them, and it didn't work.
I see this in the troubleshooting info ???

"browser.startup.homepage_override.buildID": "20130215130331",

The prefs that you posted are normal for a Firefox version (in this case Firefox 19.0.
Please update to the current Firefox 22.0 release.

*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/update-firefox-latest-version.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

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).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Web Page Appears Different

My web page appears correct in Windows 2000 but in XP the
graphics appear outside of their border and there is a horizontal
colored line through the middle of the screen. Is the problem on my
end?

Yes. You haven't given us a link to the page so we can try to
help you.

Thank you, it worked with just F5. I don't know whether CTRL + F5 would work because the problem has not come back yet!

My two old white MacBooks run perfect with Snow leopard, but my 2011 17" i7 Macbook Pro is a dead slug with yosimite installed.
Tried the start with C held down, also with option held down. All it does is beeps at me three times, then again three times.....
I want to remove yosimite and install Snow leopard from dvd as yosimite runs worse than a Windows OS.
Can it be done, what do I need to do please?
Examples of faults, even with a 1tb solid state drive and 16 gig of ram, it is incredibly slow. Took four hours to install Logic 8 last night, I still have to reinstall logic 9 upgrade. On the White MacBooks I got both 8 and 9 installed in under an hour and a half all up.
Beeping on startup means failed RAM.
Slowness is usually caused by incompatible third-party system modifications.

How do I stop Firefox from navigating to a certain web page? I want to block Firefox from loading this webpage and cannot figure out how to block pages.

Sometimes when I click on a link on Google or Yahoo search results I end up on some stupid tazinga page. how do I block this page from appearing?

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Many images do not appear on numerous web pages. How can I fix this? I have graphics enabled.

For quite some time many images just do not appear on web pages. I have taken a screen shot of a page to show what the problem is but can find nowhere to upload it so you can see for yourselves. Now what do I do?

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Website_colors_are_wrong
There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

Desktop screen hides safari web pages. How correct this?

I made the mistake of fiddling with display resolution. After I did, my desktop screen hides Safari web pages and most of the address bar.
In addition when using Safari and now Foxfire (which is not hidden) there is a border on the screen (fainter color than the rest of screen) which results in cursor hitting the border too often making the web page disappear. Apple Support, for which I paid, could not figure out how to fix this. Why would the border
have developed.

Do you mean running Firefox in full screen mode?
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If you are in full screen mode then you can hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear. 
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.

You can also run Firefox in a maximized window to have easier access to the Menu bar and Navigation Toolbar.
