What happen to the newtab page

i have tried going to about:config - browser.newtab to set the new tab to open up about:newtab
but whenever i restart firefox it doesnt work i have to manually type about:newtab to see my most visited sites.. it was working fine last night then this morning it doesnt. i havent installed anything new since it was working last night

Lets try a couple of things here:
First, update to Firefox 15.0.1 [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
After than, run [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/]
Finally, if your new tab preferences are still not being saved, try to read [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] and [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

  • What happened to the reload page icon?

    What happened to the reload icon that used to appear at the upper left of the screen? Doing a right mouse click and then clicking on the drop down menu is very cumbersome. I need to refresh screens very often to get current real time activity. How can I restore this icon?

    The screen reload icon is usually in the address bar (the big white bar at the top of your screen with http:// or www. in it) at the right hand side. You can Also hit the F5 key, or just customize your toolbars to move the reload icon to wherever you want it.[[How do I customize the toolbars?#w_how-do-i-customize-or-rearrange-toolbar-items|How do I customize or rearrange toolbar items?]]

  • What happened to the Recent Pages in version 4.0?

    In version 3.6 the Recent Pages was located to the right of the Browse Forward and Back arrows. Where is it in version 4.0?

    You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

  • I just re upped my one to one - what happened to the topic page selection ?

    I just bought motion5 dropped another $99 on one to one and when I went to the topic page I couldn't find - motion 5, fcp, logic pro and aperature?
    I have used these as references to prepare for my real time tutorials - It seems that it is harder to find these classes in the stores now.  Where are the instructors and will they be back soon?

    Transfer the purchases from the iPad 1 into iTunes and then sync the iPad 2 again.
    Connect the iPad to the Mac, launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad under the devices heading and select Transfer Purchases. You can also select the iPad and then go to File>Transfer Purchases from the menu at the top.
    After you transfer the apps to the iTunes library, sync the iPad 2 again. Make sure that you select all of the apps to sync to the iPad 2.

  • What happened to the multiple pages in templates for Pages 5.5.1?

    Since upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages templates only are showing 2 pages of pre-designed text and pictures, whereas prior to the upgrade, I would have 6 pages of options per template chosen. Am I missing something, or did Apple do away with these extra designed pages for templates?
    Please note - I'm not referring to how many template options are available, but rather once I select a template (for example, the Journal template under newsletter), there are only 2 pages with space holders for pictures and text.
    Thank you for the help!

    The change happened with Pages 5 13 months ago.
    Pages 5 has much fewer features (over 100 are missing) and can no longer use the multiple internal layouts.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

  • What happened to the Recent pages dropdown (in Firefox 4) that was next to Go back one page, Go forward one page? It was more useful than having to go to History.

    There was a dropdown list after Go for one page on the menu bar that showed several of my latest pages. It was handy. Is there a way to do this QUICKLY in FF4, without having to open history?

  • Just upgraded to 5 from 3 - what happened to the page select icon? Can't find it in customize toolbars.

    Used to be you could select which page you wished to go back or forward to from the arrow icons on the navigation toolbar. The history menu item only shows 10 sites without having to open history for today. What happened? Is there another icon or a new plug in for this functionality? I used it all the time.

    ''what happened to the page select icon (Back/Forward)''
    The back/forward buttons have been moved to right-hand side of the navigation bar and the drop-down was removed. User right-click or hold click for one second to see the tab history. This is item #5 in my list.
    The History menu also has "Open Previous session" and "Open closed windows",
    to see more history use the History sidebar ("Ctrl+H") or the History Library List ("Ctrl+Shift+H") and sort or view by "Last visited".
    You can make '''Firefox 5.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.19, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0.1, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6.*)].

    The home button has by default moved to the right hand edge of the navigation toolbar. You can move it back by right-clicking on a toolbar, choose customize to open the customize toolbar window, then with that window on display you can drag and drop icons to move them.
    If the home icon is not at the right end of the navigation toolbar, use the procedures in the following link to restore it - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

  • What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

    What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

    Try stopping Safari followed by resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Safari at the bottom (swiping if necessary), tap and hold until it wiggles, tap the minus sign.  Now reset: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appers first), then release.  If it still is missing you may need to restore your phone, which will put a fresh copy of the iOS on your phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).

  • What happened to my messages page on the website and why do i now have integrated messaging?

    What happened to my messages page on Verizon's website. I used to be able to sit at the computer and text back and forth to whomever I wanted, just like texting from my phone but now it's gone and now it's been replaced with integrated messaging, which I have no use for. Is there anyway I can get the other messaging page back?

    I'm sorry you are no longer able to use the messaging page froggy0412. We are unable to bring back the previous messaging online option. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  • What happened to the multi-touch gestures in Finder?

    I've updated to Lion last week.  Overall, I think what Apple did was great to the overall experience.  However, my only gripes are in Finder.  What happened to the multi-touch gestures?  The only thing that I can do is flip through files in cover view using two finger swipes.
    What happened to the pinch to zoom in and out?  I've seen other posts about this so I'll stop here.  Apple please bring this function back.  I'm tired of moving my mouse to the drag handle. 
    Secondly, I was using three finger swipes to navigate to the previous and next folder in Finder.   Since two finger is used to flip through cover view, I see why they couldn't extend the back/forward function to two finger swipes as they did in Safari and I know that three finger swipe is used to change desktops.  I wish that Apple was more creative to leave this function in somehow.
    Is there a way to bring these functions back to Finder?  These are the functions that I used all the time.

    That doesn't explain why they would remove the pinch to zoom in and out.  That is not be used by anything else in finder.  If I'm going through pictures, I would like to zoom in on the images for cover view.
    As far as the three figure swipes to go back and forth in finder, I understand why that has been removed.  However, Apple could have implemented the two finger swipe just like in Safari which is sensitive to the acceleration of the swipes.  If you swipe with two fingers somewhat fast, you can go back and forth between previous and next page.  If you swipe with two fingers slowly, you can pan left and right on the same page.
    They could have done something to retain the functionality versus taking out the functionality all together.  As of now, these functionalities do not exist.  I'm hoping that something is going to change and we'll have to see what the future brings.
