Why do i get two tabs and a status bar reminder opening when i start Firefox 4

One page goes to Firefox Home
2nd Page goes to firefox Start Page
And where firefox would normally show the Question Do you want Firefox to remember Password.. I get a Know your rights screen which has some basic settings for Firefox

You did try to delete the prefs.js file (and a possible user.js file) in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] ?

Tabs from last session aren't opening when I start FireFox

In options I have Show my windows and tabs from last time set for When Firefox starts. And I unchecked the warn me when closing multiple tabs option (although it was previously checked, and it wasn't warning me when it was checked).
The last few days I have had 1 window with 4 tabs open (each to a different site) when I exited Firefox. The next day when I start firefox it ends up opening 4 windows each showing about:blank. My tabs are not restored.
I have NOT cleared my history or any other information.

Who was the pop-up offer from?
Also, do you by any chance have chat utility installed called Digsby?

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google proser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How to stop tabs re-opening after firefox crashes.........when it crashes and I have multiple tabs open, when re-starting firefox all of the tabs re-open too. How can I stop this?

Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.

Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Why does the Avast online security tab now suddenly always open when I start Firefox, it never use to happen?

As above sentence. Suddenly, every time I start Firefox it opens with the Firefox tab and the Avast online security tab. This didn't use to happen. I've tried disabling it via Firefox (as it was loaded on the computer long before I had Firefox) which solves that problem but then the large green tick icon doesn't show next to the search list to show the site is safe. It's very annoying that it has started doing this and certainly don't want it!

Sorry you might as well as written it in double dutch. I didn't understand it at all. Previously I have said I don't understand computer speak.

I want to STOP the automatic loading of the tab that tells me "Almost There!" or "Your Almost There" suggesting that I download the new version. I DO NOT WANT A NEWER VERSION- and I am SICK of seeing this tab open when I start Firefox. How do I stop this?

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/781986]''
I find this reminder/suggestion to upgrade Firefox EXTREMELY annoying. How do I stop it? What about:config settings do I change-- because I have been unable to find the one that will do the trick.

Additional tab opens when I start Firefox

Whenever I start Firefox 28.0, my homepage loads, followed immediately by a new tab with a number of website icons - why??? How do I get rid of this secondary tab???

What is the string in the '''browser.startup.homepage''' option on '''about:config''' page?
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config]
Try start in Safe Mode, sometimes addons can be the cause of the problem:

New Tab Homepage is different from the Homepage when first starting Firefox.

My homepage is set for "Google search engine" (or)"http://www.google.com/" . Whenever I first start Firefox, the page displayed is the "http://www.google.com/". Whenever I hit the "Open A New Tab" button that is a "+" (plus) sign, the page displayed is always the "Yahoo" search engine (or "search.yahoo./" (after the slash, there is a lot of numbers and letters)).

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

I've just upgraded to 7.1 and I need to know, How do I get the page that shows me current eventsand sports to open when I start Firefox?

also when will 7.1 be compatible with Yahoo?

Hello Jane.
No, that feature is not in Firefox. You may want to install an extension that lets you do that, though. For example, this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/9275/

I finally got my desired homepage to open when I start firefox, but I still cannot click on my home icon with firefox open and have it go to my set homepage.

I changed the target in properties to fix the initial start problem, but even with my homepage set in the control panel, it will not go there when clicking the home icon.

Hello,
Note that your version of Firefox is outdated, you can update by going to:
* Help > About Firefox
* Please see this link for all of the security updates since version 27: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/
Is there a reason you are adding the link to the target line of Firefox? You can change your home page settings at:
* Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
If that works for you, you do not need to modify the target line for your Firefox shortcut.
If you are finding changing your home page there doesn't work, you may want to see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]], and/or scan for malware:

Why am I getting two different conversations when the same person txts me and sends me an I message? I thought they should be in the same conversation?

I'm experiencing something similar. My conversations are kept together but if the screen is opened to a conversation and I receive a text from that person it doesn't show up on the screen. The message alert in the upper corner indicates a new text but I have to back out of the screen and go back in to read it.

Lyall,
I have seen this before, a long time ago (several years), and I cannot
remember how/if we resolved it.
If this is an impotant issue to you, I suggest that you open a case with
BEA support.

Peter.

This is a rather important issue, I have seen another post with a similar problem.
While not being a show-stopper it certainly raises concerns.
The application works ok until the application exits (in both development and
executable form)
Apparently this did not happen with Tux 7.1
It does with 8, I do not have 7.1 so I have no workaround.

Why do i get 2 curves and not just 1 when i create a diagram from a row of data in a table ?

Why do I get 2 curves and not just i when I create a diagram from a row af data in a table ?

Erik,
Thank you for giving me the points. Generally you wait to award points until your problem is solved. It is totally your at your descretion.
OK.
This is still not clear. To post a screenshot get the "stuff" you want to show in view on your screen, then type the key combination <Command>+<Shift>+3. The cursor will change to a crosshair. Click and hold on the top-left corner, then drag to enclose what you want to show (to the bottom-right corner), then release. The screenshot will appear on your desktop and will be named something like "".
Now click the camera icon in the tool bar for this forum:
, click the text box to allow you to navigate to, and select your screenshot.
Here is what you sent me:
The graph does not seem to be associated with the table of data you are showing. Generally when you highlight a graph the corresponding table will highlight and show the source of each of the series in the graph (dark and light blue).
This is what I would expect to see when highlighting a graph:
Right now I think there is ANOTHER table arround that is the source for the graph and the table you show is "just another table". You can move your data into the table the graph refers to by copy and paste, or simply typing the values. You can change how many series there are by grabbing the little circle at the bottom right of the highlighted cells (when you have the graph highlighted) and dragging as shown:
The Numbers Users' Guide is a great resource you should utilize and can be found here:

The chapter on graphing (or charting) is 7 and starts on page 134.
