What happened to my Google home page with weather, etc in Firefox 4?

I set up a Google homepage with weather, news link, translator, etc and Firefox 4 install has wiped it out. I just get standard Google as my home page. What happened? Do I have to go back and request everything again?

Same issue here. Seems that all cache and cookies were wiped out with the update. Being a software engineer myself, I have to say, it's generally considered '''''very''''' poor practice for software updates to wipe out user data. It's very surprising that this would happen with Mozilla.
Unfortunately, I'm trying to get everything back to how it was for an elderly family member, and she has no clue how she got it set up to begin with. I'm pretty sure that she didn't have an iGoogle account?

Signing into Google home page requires me to empty Firefox cache and cookies and restart Firefox. Any way to avoid this?

When I sign into my home page (Google), I often get a blank page. I then have to empty the Firefox cache and cookies, restart Firefox, and then when I go to the Google home page, I have to sign in with my ID and password. I have checked the box that says keep me signed in. This does not happen with Safari.
I am running a Mac with OS Lion.

My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet explorer page. It presents the google home page with a grey filter over it and does not respond to any touch or key. All other internet dependent functions seem to be working (i.e. mail, various APPs etc.)

My IPAD 2 is freezing on the principal internet access page. It comes up through a light grey filter and does not respond to any touch or keys. All other internet dependent functions seem to be working fine (mail, various APPs). How do I "unfreeze"?
thanks

Geoff-
Go to Settings-Safari and Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
Another thing you can try is to double-click the Home button. A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen. Scroll across and find the Safari icon. Press on it for a couple of seconds until it starts to wiggle. A red minus sign will appear on each icon. Press on Safari's minus sign to remove it. This may clear its memory of the bad Google page.
If this does not help, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

How can I delete my dysfunctional Google home page and return to the Firefox default home page?

Gadgets on my Google homepage recently stopped functioning. The website or blog headings are still there, but the articles listed under the headings have disappeared (except for New York Times and NPR). The controls which should open a window of options no longer function.
Recently I switched from the free Avast to the paid-for version. Could this relate to my problem>

You can install the Stylish extension from here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
Once you have that installed (and restart Firefox if that's required to get it running), re-visit the above userstyles page and you should be able to install the rule easily.

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It directed me to the google home page and I am now suspicious that it is a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to Ipad. How can I check?

I have received an email from a friend with a link which I clicked. It took me to the google home page. I am now suspicious that my friend's email account has been hijacked and the link contained a virus or a Trojan horse. I would know what to do on my PC but am new to the IPad. Can any form of Trojan horse be planted on IOS 6 or am I worrying unnecessarily? Reassurance would be most welcome as I do use the IPad for checking bank details and web purchases. Thanks for any help.

PC virus won't run on iPad.

Google home page in Html

Hi everybody, this is kinda trivial, but some how i cannot view my I pod touch, the "google" home page in Html.
I have been able to do this in the past, but now when i load google, it load in the "mobile" format.
I have tried clearing, history,cookies,cache, but this does not help
Also typing into any search engine for google.com or google .co.uk, it always defaults onto the googlw wed address but like
google.co.uk/m
Can anyone advise
cheers
tom

This change appears to have just happened - I saw the mobile page for the first time today.
It's very irritating.
However, being Google with all its might and wisdom, I imagine the quality of the page will improve as they continue to develop it. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a touch/iPhone-specific cool custom page based on Apple's web API before long.

HT4550 Why does my Safari open with American version and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preference

Try this.
Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.

What happened to "SAVE AS" in pages & numbers?

What happened to "SAVE AS" in pages & numbers?

mende1
That will only work in Mountain Lion not Lion.
stuffaz
Apple introduced Auto Saving in Lion along with Versions and removed Save As from the menu.
Menu > File > Duplicate > Save the duplicate with new name
does much the same thing as Save as.

I keep losing my I Google home page which reverts to another I Google page

I am on Firefox V8. I am now losing my I google home page which reverts to a standard I Google page. If I open using IE it will bring my I Google homepage up correctly (Nothing wrong with Google) I have not done anything to Firefox v8 or altered any settings

Do you have a Google or Gmail account? If so, are you signed in? (is your name or email address in the top right of the page)

New Home Page (with EMail Previews)

Two of our email subaccounts are not getting the new email home page, where the preview of your emails are listed. In the last few days once in every few days the new email homepage appears.The next time we go to the page it is the old home page with previews of the email. The only individual who always gets the new home page with the preview of their email is the main account holder. Can someone explain why this is happening?
Holly
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Have you tried to see if the same thing happens when you access the accounts from another computer?

I recently uploaded 3.6.13 and can no longer reload my Google home page

Google home page worked fine on 3.6 . I tried deleting and reloading both Mozilla and Google with no success.

This [[How to set the home page | page]]is about resetting the homepage. And this is the [UK English] default firefox google homepage start [http://www.google.co.uk/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official]

I google home page starts correctly then jumps to the bottom of the page after a few seconds after startup.

When i start my computer with the i google home page it loads correctly, then after about 4 secs, it jumps down to the bottom of the page.

Create home page with several tabs upon opening Safari

I would like to create a home page with several tabs upon opening Safari is this possible?

Yes, it's possible.
First create a folder of bookmarks containing the pages you want to have appear as tabs when you start Safari.
Once you've got that bookmarks folder set up, go into your General Safari preferences. At "New windows open with:" select "Choose tabs folder ..." as per the following screenshot:
.... and select the bookmarks folder you set up before.
Quit and restart Safari. Do the contents of the bookmarks folder open in tabs in a new window?
(To change what tabs you have opening in a new window, just change the content of the bookmarks folder you've selected in your preferences.)

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod?

What happens when an iPod is synchronized with an iTunes library that is bigger than the available space on the iPod? I did this some time ago. On screen was shown available space somewhat less than 120 GB, but maybe somewhere between 10 and 20 GB more in the library. I had to get the iPod updated anyway, so I did proceed. However, afterwards the total content of the library was only about 110 GB. Now I wonder what did actually happen. Was the first sign only corrected for double copies of the same files or lost files or where files deleted from iTunes? And if files where deleted from iTunes, were they also deleted from my computer?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.
