Verizon Home Page Local News

I have set my local news location to my town. It accepts it and then provides local news for that area, The next day when I check for local news in my area there is local news from some other city in my state or another state, WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? Everytime I reset it it defaults to some other place. COME ON MAN!!

I'm pretty sure that feature has been a bit buggy since the new website was pushed out (well, since MyVerizon 2.0). But just to be sure, you aren't clearing your browser cookies out after every session or at the end of the day are you? That setting should be set via cookie.

Verizon home Page: Video Player

Wonder why the videos under the video player on the Verizon Home Page are all old stories? They have been there for weeks and never seem to change!!!!!
Holly
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I now know why the video player on the Verizon Home Page had outdated video stories as this morning I see there is a new Verizon Home Page which I like alot. It is mostly white and has less red, which makes it more visually appealing. Also the new Verizon Home Page has many more features and shows the many things available from Verizon.
Do I get a fee for this good advertisement?

Yahoo is my home page and News, Sports, Business links now shows a few sentences after each main URL link. How do I put it back to show just the URL links?

Yahoo is my home page and News, Sports, Business categories/links changed and now shows a few sentences after each main URL link/topic. How do I put it back to show just the URL links/topics without having to scroll down and down the page. All the extra sentences after the links causes too much scrolling to view the topics.

Those steps did not solve my problem. Here is an example of what I see although it's not exact copy/paste. All I want to see are the links but I get all the verbiage after the links

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

The referenced link deals with a different matter; the user wanted a blank tab to open but was getting an arbitrary page opening instead.

MSN/Verizon Home Page Reset

My browser has been hijacked to go to the MSN/Verizon home page. How can I get my home page back to the regular home page? I have tried the home page setting under Internet Options -> General, but this does not resolve the hijack. I am comfortable editing the registry if this is what I need to do.

set verizon as my Home Page

No Verizon Home Page

Can't get Verizon Home Page. I can get Verizon webmail. Anybody else in Baltimore County, Md. or some other place having this problem It just happened this afternoon
Holly
I just got this message when I tried getting home page againerver Too Busy
I just spoke to a Verizon rep who said they were gradually phasing out verizon.net, and he said to use verizon.com but when I did it wasn't the Verizon homepage sign in page we have been getting so I typed in the correct log in and made that my homepage Actually it was the sign in home page that said server too busy. I got server too busy when I clicked in IE on my desktop.
Holly
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The rep said they were phasing out verizon.net and to use the verizon.com. If you don't know the full sign in for the IE options from tools, then google to find the Verizon sign in page and put that in the Internet Options as your home page after clicking on Tools. Then you will get the sign in page when you click on IE from your desktop.
We should have been notified of this.
Never mind the rep must have been mistaken as they have fixed it and you can still use verizon.net.

Customizing WeatherBug and Local News locations on Verizon home page

My WeatherBug location keeps defaulting to New York City. My Local News location keeps changing to places all over the country instead of the one I chose. What can I do to lock in the locations I want? Also, do the locations for both widgets need to be the same?

I stopped paying attention to those things years ago. I became much happier afterwards.

Slow upload of Verizon home page along with limited connectivity

For the past few months I have noticed my DSL connection has a limited connectivity issue and after it does connect my home page flashes and takes over 3 to 4 minutes to load this happens every time I use my internet explorer icon to connect. When I use my msn I have no problems. I would like to know if anyone else has had this experience also

Step one: Visit http://www.giganews.com/line_info.html and post up the Traceroute the page shows, if you wish. Be aware that your non-bogan public IP Address will show up. It might shown up as the final hop (bottom-most line of the trace) might contain a hop with your IP address in it. Either remove that line or show only the first two octets. What I'm looking for is a line that mentions "ERX" in it's name towards the end. If for some reason the trace does not complete (two lines full of Stars), keep the trace route intact.
For example this what I saw when I was using Verizon
news.giganews.com
    traceroute to 71.242.*.* (71.242.*.*), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
    1 gw1-g-vlan201.dca.giganews.com (216.196.98.4) 13 ms 13 ms 13 ms

    3 TenGigE0-2-0-0.GW1.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.125.125.41) 4 ms 4 ms GigabitEthernet2-0-0.GW8.IAD8.ALTER.NET (63.65.76.189) 4 ms
    4 so-7-1-0-0.PHIL-CORE-RTR1.verizon-gni.net (130.81.20.137) 6 ms 6 ms 6 ms

    6 static-71-242-*-*.phlapa.east.verizon.net (71.242.*.*) 32 ms 32 ms 33 ms
Step two: Can you provide the Transceiver Statistics from your modem?
#3 If you don't know how to get that info:
a) What is the brand and model of your modem?
b) If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to it: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#4 If you have a RJ-45 WAN port router connected to the modem, even if you know how to get the Transceiver Statistics from the modem: What is the brand and model of the RJ-45 WAN port router?
#5 Also please tell me what DNS Servers you are using. For example you could use the tool from https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm

How do I open my home page in new tab in firefox 13, like I had been doing for years?

Since I just updated to firefox 13, I can no longer customize where a new tab opens, thanks to the new 'new tab page' feature. I've had my new tabs open to my home page for years now, it's how I'm accustomed to it, and it's frustrating that I now have spent so much time trying to work around this new 'convenience'. Just to clarify: I would like my new tabs to open to my home page. not a blank page, and not frequently visited tabs page.

kinda silly that we have to do this just to keep things like they were before. but, yes it did work. thank you!

After login close the login window and open home page in new window

Hi guys,
I want to go to a new window for the "home page" without browser back button etc. after login validation.
And also close the login window at the same time.
Here is the code I used after the login validation.
ExtendedRenderKitService erks =Service.getRenderKitService(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(),ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
script.append(" params = 'width='+screen.availWidth-10;\n" +
" params += ', height='+screen.availHeight-50;\n" +
" params += ', top=0, left=0'\n" +
" params += ', fullscreen=yes';\n" +
" params += ', scrollbars=1';\n" +
" params += ', resizable=1';\n" +
" params += ', status=1';\n" +
"window.close();\n" +
" newwin=window.open('home.jspx','xxxxxxxxx', params);\n" +
" if (window.focus) {newwin.focus()}");
erks.addScript(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(), script.toString());
This successfully opens a new window. I want to close the current login window at the same time.
Please help me with this.
Regards !
Sameera

How do I set a home page for new tabs as they are opened?

When I open a new tab I would like it to open to my home page each time.

IPad 4th gen seems that Safari will return to home page when new mail downloads during web

iPad 4th Gen. Safari will return to home page when it seems to download new mail when I'm on the web!

Clear Safari, close Safari completely and reset your iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Babylon Search Engine overrides Home Page and New Tabs - About: Config Reset does not work

Tried new tab homepage addon as well.
Tried uninstalling Babylonobject installer with Revo Uninstaller forced uninstal.
Tried reinstalling firefox.
Setting Homepage to Show a Blank Page works for the startup but means I cannot have a homepage setup.
Firefox detects something trying to change the homepage on start up but does nothing about preventing Babylon even if the change is denied.

It sounds like you have a Third-Party Toolbar that has taken over your Search Engine, Home Page, and/or the Default New Tab Page. Fortunately this can be remedied easily:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the Remove button.
# Click Restart now if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
Does this help your question? Let us know!

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.
