  • Firefox 4 doesn't open in a homepage, but rather opens the last page I visited, which I HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So far the Firefox upgrades are nothing but trouble to me and my computer. Where is the homepage. Why when I open Firefox from the desktop shortcut do I not get a homepage, but rather the last page I visited. I was doing bills, and finished but couldn't find the log off button, so closed the page, and then closed firefox. When I re-opened, it opened right to the page where I was still signed into my account!!!!!!! A security failure if I ever saw one. There is not one thing I have found to be helpful since Firefox first updated me to 3.6.14, then quit responding completely! So I tried the 4 Beta, and it is so far a disaster.

    If the Cookies window is open and no browser or other Firefox windows are open, opening a new browser window will now still open the last page visited instead of a blank page, even if "Show a blank page" is selected for "When Firefox starts:", and even if the last browser window opened was blank; I tested this by opening a webpage and then opening a blank browser window, closing the browser window with the webpage, then closing the blank browser window, then opening a new browser window while the Cookies window remained open. It is a time waster to have to continually close and reopen the Cookies window and a potential privacy disaster to have your website reopened after you closed your browser. Please, please, fix this.

  • Having recently installed Firefox, it is not retaining any of my browsing history, including the last page visited (no back button!).

    My Privacy and Security settings are set to retain cookies but for some reason this information is not being stored at all. I cannot save bookmarks or even go back on my browser. Help!

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Firefox no longer loads home page or deletes cookies. I have repeatedly checked both settings and they are correct. It always goes to the last page I was on when I closed the browser ..

    Go to '''TOOLS''' then''' OPTIONS''' then in '''GENERAL''' panel in '''STARTUP '''session choose '''Show my home page''', then click '''OK''' to save it, exit firefox and restart-it.

  • I just downloaded Lion.  Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited.  How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

    I just downloaded Lion.  Now when I open Safari, it automatically opens to the last page visited.  How do I reset it to open to a blank page as it did previously?

    Dealing With The Resume Feature of Lion
    Managing Mac OS X Lion's application resume feature.
    If you shutdown your computer you should get a dialog asking if you want applications to resume on the next startup. Simply uncheck the box to prevent that from occurring. Open General preferences and uncheck the option to Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps. You can also install a third-party utility to control resume features on individual applications: RestoreMeNot or Application State Cleaner.
    It is possible to completely stop the Resume feature although I'm unconvinced that it is that annoying. Nevertheless see the following:
    If you have not yet done so you must first make your /Home/Library/ folder visible. Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder. At the prompt paste the following command line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN. Quit the Terminal application.
    In the Finder navigate to the /Home/Library/Saved Application State/ folder. Delete the contents of the folder. Back up to the /Home/Library/ folder. Select the Saved Application State folder. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Sharing and Permissions panel at the bottom click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window.
    Quit all open programs except the Finder (this is very important.) Next, navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Look for a .plist file with "com.apple.loginwindow." in the file name followed by some numbers in hexadecimal. Select the file. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window and in the Sharing and Permissions panel click on the lock icon and authenticate. Set each of the listed entries to Read Only. Close the Get Info window. If you also find a file with the same filename but with a last extension of ".lockfile," then you should delete it.
    The above should eliminate the Resume feature system-wide. Note that any future system updates or upgrades will likely undo these changes. You will then need to repeat this procedure assuming there are no major changes in OS X related to it.

  • Going to the last page of a table when adding a new object

    I added a Table(com.sun.rave.web.ui.component.Table) on my page and a button outside of that table to add new object rows. My problem is that I want the table to move to the last page when I add a new object. Instead the default bahaviour is showing the first page. Even if the newly added row is on a page > page 1.
    e.g If I have a table with 5 pages and I am on page 1 and I add an object I want to see the last page of the table where I added the new object. In other words I want it to go to page 5 or page 6 in case the number of the new object is > the number of displayable rows of a page.
    I did it with Javascript but I just dont like it. I wanna do it programmatically.
    Any help?
    Thanks in advance guys!!!

  • Sometimes the url's don't update so when you press the "back button" it sends you to the home page instead of the last page visited

    A friend of mine has this webblog and I have never had problems viewing it before I downloaded the new version of firefox. However, once I downloaded the new version, I noticed that every time I press the "back button" after viewing a picture, it sends me back to the blog home page instead of the last page I was on or that I viewed. This also happens with some of the standard websites I visit not just the blogs.

    Right click the Back button and select the page you want to go back to.

  • When I launch Safari 5.1, it goes to the last web page I had open and not to my home page.  How do I fix this?

    I have verified my home page setting.  Prior versions of Safari would launch the Top Sites page at start-up, but now it doesn't even do that. 

    Open Safari Preferences, General tab.  Make your selection for "New windows open with" and "New tabs open with".  You can choose from a drop-down list which includes Top Sites, Home Page, Last page, etc.

  • "When Firefox starts:" is set to "Show my homepage", but it still shows the last page visited anyway.

    Firefox 20, Ubuntu 12.04, Cinnamon desktop. "When Firefox starts" is set to "Show my homepage". I tried settting browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to zero. Still does it. I think it happens mosts often if I log out without closing Firefox first. Does not seem to matter what that last page was. This problem has existed for as long as I have been using Firefox. It seemed to go away at about version 17, but now it is back in version 20 (at least for me).
    Possibly, uninstalling all my add-ons or closing all tabs and shutting down in proper sequence would fix it. Come to think of it, going to my homepage and closing all other tabs before I log off would fix it for sure. But, it would be nice if it just worked.
    Thanks

    If the problem is that your settings are getting reset or failing to save correctly, you could check out this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Have you tested with your extensions disabled for a few shutdown or system restart cycles to see whether that makes any difference?
    Less likely:
    Could you make sure this preference is set to false: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once]. Usually is.
    If you start Firefox with a shortcut, could you make sure there are no command-line options set that could override your default settings?

  • How to make it that when i click my logo, it goes to the home page?

    I want to make it on my website, that when i click on my logo on the top of my webpages, it should go to the home page. How can I do that?
    My website is www.iphoneappguru.com
    Thanks!
    -RahulR

    Select the logo in iWeb and use the Inspector/Link/Hyperlink pane to link the logo image to "One of my pages"
    Click to view full size
    However, I would not use the First menu option but select the page name instead.

  • My Firefox 20 seems to not shut down but only restart. Also, rather than my home page, the last pages visited appear.

    It's as if Firefox 20.0 never shuts down but only restarts.
    Even when I close Firefox 20.0 by clicking the X button on the top right or use "exit," when I open Firefox, it acts the same as if I'd used "restart," namely the tabs don't load until I click on them. Furthermore, the 4 pages I use as my home pages aren't there but rather whatever pages I had up when I last closed my browser.
    I have tried creating a new profile, which worked ONE TIME. Then, it went back to my problem.
    I have used "restore" to go back to a time before the problem started but that hasn't worked.
    I removed the addon I had downloaded in that time period but that didn't help, either.
    Thank you for any help you can give. I know you're all volunteers and your time is important.

    Does it seem like that Firefox is crashing? Try checking if there are any crash reports by going to about:crashes in your browser. Alternatively you can try safe mode as outlined below:
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • When I open my shortcut for Mozilla Firefox, instead of my start page (Google) it opens the last page visited...kinda annoying, and I can't fix it in the OPTIONS section.. any help?

    well, above says it all, I think...

  • In Firefox 4, it keeps wanting to open two pages when I open the browser, the home page AND the last page visited in a separate tab. How can I get it to stop doing this?

    At 1st I thought this was because I'd forgotten to properly close my last session, but then I realized that it happens every time.

  • Home page won't load on start up it goes to the last page it was on before the shut down.

    It started just recently where I exit FIrefox and then restart it either after the computer has rebooted or closed by accident, it always brings back the tabs and pages I was on at the time of shut down. I have looked on here and tried what others have been told and nothing worked. I would like to not have to uninstall firefox but I will if I have too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You can check if you have an user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that sets the browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once pref to true.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/user.js_file
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You may want to check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so involved preferences can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
