When I open Firefox, it goes to a blank page instead of google, like I had it set up. When I go to a bookmark, nothing. It won't load anything. HELP!

When I open FF, it used to go to google. Now, I just get a blank page with the tab that says, "New Tab". When I click on the home button (suppose to go to google), it will change to "connecting..." for half a second but remain on the blank page returning to "New Tab". It is set to not use a proxy as it should be. It is not set to work offline. I do not have a firewall preventing it from accessing the internet. IE works and I have no problems there.

hi cnlbell,
Have you tried going to the General Preferences tab and verifying that google is set as you home page? I'd suggest you try setting about:home as your home page. It's a cool FF page with a google search bar. Then tell Firefox to display your home page on startup. These options are all in the General Preferences panel. Try that and let me know how it goes!
Hopefully this helps!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page and then stops, saying "Not Responding" with the cursor spinning. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for any help

    When I open Firefox, it goes to the first page I open, but then stops and says "Not Responding" with the mouse cursor spinning. I hit the close button and it says Windows is searching for a solution (which doesn't come).
    When I open Firefox again, it says:
    Well, this is embarrassing.
    Firefox is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is usually caused by a recently opened web page.
    You can try:
    Removing one or more tabs that you think may be causing the problem
    Starting an entirely new browsing session
    Any ideas? I gretly appreciate any help. Thanks!!

    What is that first page?
    Can't you open any web pages in Firefox?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • How do I open a new tab to a blank page, instead of home page?

    Currently when I open a new tab, it opens to my home page. I would like a new tab to open to a blank page instead, is there any way to have this happen?
    I am currently running beta version of Firefox 18.0 on Windows 7

    Type about:config into your address bar, press Enter. Accept the warning. Search for browser.newtab.url, right click it, and modify it to have the URL you want.

  • I opened Firefox today (it is my default browser) and it acted like I had never used it before. ALL MY BOOKMARKS ARE GONE!

    The question pretty much says it all.

    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Struts goes to a blank page after signin

    I have an application similar to Toystore but I get a blank page after signin. It should go to a defined home page. Right now the only way I fixed it is define a success action and forward there instead of the home page.
    This is toystore code but mine is similar. I hope someone has seen this problem.
    ACTION CLASS:
    public class VerifySignInAction extends Action {
    public ActionForward execute(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) {
    String target = request.getParameter("target");
    //home defined in struts-config.xml as:<action path="/home" forward="/WEB-INF/jsp/welcome.jsp"/>
    if (target == null) target = "home";
    * We shouldn't get here unless the LoginForm bean validation succeeds
    LoginForm loginForm = (LoginForm)form;
    toystore.controller.AppUserInfo.signIn(request,loginForm.getUsername());
    //return mapping.findForward(target);//target is home but it goes to a blank page instead.
    //Using success works but should not be needed
    return mapping.findForward("success");
    STRUTS-CONFIG.XML:
    <action path="/verifysignin" type="toystore.controller.strutsactions.VerifySignInAction" input="/signin.do" validate="true" name="loginform"
    scope="request">
    <set-property property="application" value="ToyStore"/>
    <set-property property="releasemode" value="Stateful"/>
    <forward name="success" path="/WEB-INF/jsp/welcome.jsp"/><!--//Using this is the only way to forward but it should not be needed.-->
    </action>

    I got the same when using UIX for signin page

  • How do I set a specific page to open when I open a new tab in Firefox? I can open the page when initially opening Firefox, but not for subsequent tabs/pages.

    How do I set a specific page to open when I open a new tab in Firefox? I can open the page when initially opening Firefox, but not for subsequent tabs/pages.

    You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
    *NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    *My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

    I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

    Sounds like you are in Full screen mode. Run your cursor to the top of the page and click on the blue arrows on the right hand side.

  • When I select print from any website article while in Firefox it only prints a blank page. When I open same web pages using Safari, they print fine. Documents in other appliations print fine. Only Firefox documents print blank page.

    Quit Safari.
    Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
    ☞ If running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
    ☞ If running an older version of Mac OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and enter “~/Library” (without the quotes) in the text box that opens.
    Delete the following items from the Library folder:
    Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
    Relaunch Safari and test.

  • When wanting to download a PDF file from a site, when cliicking on the link, Firefox 3.6.13 goes to a blank page. Previous versions worked perfectly. How do I fix this please?

    Since no window shows up asking where to download, etc as happens in other browsers (Opera) and in previous versions of Firefox, no able to click on a web site link to download a PDF file. Just goes to a blank page.

    Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.

  • I accidentally deleted my iphoto and i took it out of the trash and now it wont open it goes to a blank page. help please.

    when i took my iphoto out of the trash it wouldnt open the same it goes to a blank page and has that waiting circle but it never loads and i cant put pics in it... i even tried re installing it and it did the same thing! help me i really miss my pictures

    there isno iphoto in my applications folder
    Then you'll have to reinstall iPhoto.  To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/  folder,
    Click to view full size
    Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally.

    Hello katyhale,
    I found a couple of articles that might help with the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
    If you are getting a white screen when accessing the iTunes Store and using a Windows computer, I recommend reviewing this article:
    Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
    If you are still not able to access the store, I recommend the following article:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • When I click a link within a site, Firefox connects me to a blank screen instead of to the page/document I was trying to get to. Why?

    Let me give you examples:
    1. The USAA website told me to click a link to get my new insurance card. With Firefox, I was delivered to a blank page; with Safari, to my new insurance cards.
    2. Within my bank's website, I clicked the tab to get a statement. Firefox delivered me to a blank page.
    3. The email from the soccer association said click to register. Firefox delivered me to a blank page; Safari brought me to the registration page.

    This can happen if the disk cache isn't enabled (see about:cache) or otherwise the page isn't in the cache.
    If possible then try to open that video in a new tab with a middle-click on the link or via the right-click context menu.<br />
    Then you can close that tab instead of using the Back button to go back to that page.

    No, this reply is not helpful. It simply generates this little gem:
    "This service requires the conversion feature to be enabled.
    Configure conversion ?"
    And the same clicking on buttons that makes nothing happen and going around in circles with the escape key.
