Why can't I return to Firefox Start Page

When I log on to Firefox I get the Firefox Start Page. If I then go to A, and then to B, and then to C (for example), GO BACK ONE PAGE will take me back to B, and then to A, but no further. It will not take me back beyond A to the Start Page. This has only started happening since I installed Firefox 4.0. This is very annoying.

I should add that the History menu may still list those pages, as it lists 12-15 of the most recently loaded pages regardless of what tab loaded them. You can access that using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > History (look below the recently closed tabs and windows)
* (menu bar) History menu -- you can tap the Alt key to display the menu bar temporarily if you don't usually show it
* History Sidebar (Ctrl+h) -- this can be sorted in various different orders

  • How can I remove the Mozilla Firefox Start Page?

    When I start Firefox two tabs open up. One is my start page, the other is Mozilla Firefox Start Page. How can I set Firefox to NOT open the second tab?

  • How can I stop the Mozilla Firefox Start Page from taking over my computer. I have reset the home page a half dozen times.

    For the past month, every time I open Firefox, the Mozilla Start Page (with Google in the middle) takes over my home page setting (NY Times). How can I stop this from happening?

    To the extent that I could, I tried the above, despite the lack of clarity at times. For example, how do the uninitiated find "sessionstore.js" and "sessionstore.bak" and the Firefox profile folder? Assuming that I eventually find them, what in the world does "check for problems" mean?
    There are many of us out here with limited to moderate computer sophistication, and more detailed suggestions would be much appreciated. I am in the moderate to high category, but much of your response was marginally useful, to be kind. Not to say that I don't appreciate what you have written.

  • Why is the tab title "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" or whichever tab I am on duplicated on a separate line at the top of my Mozilla Foxfire start page?

    In the examples I have looked at in FAQ there is an orange box up at the top of the screen when Mozilla Foxfire opens; mine has the name of whichever tab I am on, including having the tab. I like the tabs. The duplicate name at the top looks like a status bar and covers up part of my chosen design.

    Thanks for the reply however, I don't want to "not show" these toolbars I just don't want them stacked one on top of the other. See what I mean with the snapshot attached. (Hopefully attached)

  • Can i insert 'mozilla firefox start page' onto my toolbar instead of the standard google on the search box

    I'm having problems like a lot of others with Google as it has removed it's 'UK only' button from it's home/search screen. I prefer the Google Mozilla Firefox Start Page as it gives me the options I need. On the Firefox toolbar search box, which drops down to give search engine options, can I link the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to this box? Thankyou.

    Look here for additional Google search engines: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/google.html (no country redirect)

  • How can I stop multiple tabs from opening along with Mozilla Firefox Start Page at launching time.How can this be stopped?

    Whenever I launch Firefox, multiple tabs also start to open along with the Mozilla Firefox Start Page, which is very irritating. How can I stop this to happen each time I launch the browser?

    It is also possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • Why does Firefox Start page always says I need to update, but it is already updated.

    Firefox Start Page always has this message: " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"
    I open Help/About Firefox, and it tells me "Firefox is up to date." Version 6.0.2 Why do I keep getting a message to update it?
    Thank you.

    Just what is happening? When you restore via iTunes, the computer reinstalls the IOS on the iPod. To do that the computer first contacts Apple to find what the latest firmware for your device and and then downloads it if a copy does not already exist on the computer.

  • My Firefox start page had a check box for searching Canadian pages which was lost when I upgraded to 4.0. How can I get this back?

    My Firefox start page had a check box for searching Canadian pages which was lost when I upgraded to 4.0. How can I get this back?

    The default about:home page in Firefox 4 doesn't give such features. You can set the home page to http://www.google.ca to get that possibility. The results page has a "Pages from Canada" link in the side menu at the left.

  • Mozilla firefox start page keeps logging itself on after I close all internet windows I come back and there it is. Why??? Make it stop.

    mozilla firefox start page keeps logging itself on after I close all internet windows I come back and there it is. Why??? Make it stop.

    I've got the exact same issue! I'm pretty sure it just started today too. It's so bizarre because we've all been using Firefox 26.0 for at least a month, right? How could the ''about:home'' page all of a sudden cause this issue?
    I've been able to replicate this issue on a virtual machine running Windows XP SP3, so clearly it has nothing to do with Windows 7.

  • Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

    In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

    ''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
    Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
    '''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    * clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
    There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
    * Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
    * You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
    * "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)
