Why isn't there an option for new tabs to open to your homepage?

This was an option in previous versions of Firefox. What sense does it make to remove functionality?
I don't want to have to middle click my home button, and it's absolutely ridiculous to have to install an extra addon to restore basic features that were included in versions that came out 5 years ago.
What's the deal?

Here is the newest iteration of an addon that "fixes" this missing feature-
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-homepage/
Of course, just like all the others before it, it will eventually break the functionality of itself or another addon in some way or form and we will once again have to find a replacement that restores this very basic feature which other browsers have implemented but Firefox has taken away.
I never gave Chrome or any other browser the time of day because I never needed to, but since Mozilla devs are removing basic features that people want and continually refusing to re-implement them (due to stubbornness or stupidity, 7 years in the making) it's beginning to sound like a better alternative every second.

Tabs on top? Why isn't there an option for this???!!!

How is it possible Safari was released without the option to place tabs on the browser's top??!
This was the single best innovation from Apple in browser implementation -- EVER.
Tabs on top was BRILLIANT.

So why censor my post????

There are already 7,000 viewers of the official "Tab Not On Top" thread the day after Safari's release!
Options should be the norm. Safari should be allowed to evolve through interaction with users -- not by dictation from timid anti-innovators in Apple's hierarchy.
I don't need to see the site title -- if I don't know which site I am at I can look at the location bar url. Shesh.
Let users decide!

Why isn't there an option for me to have my iPhone language settings in Welsh?

As a Welsh speaker I would prefer my iPhone language settings to be in Welsh. It would make it easier for me to message people if I was reading everything in my first (and primary speaking) language.

HT4085 Why isn't "hold" an option for the side switch on the iPad?

Why isn't "hold" an option for the side switch on the iPad?
I'd like to be able to let my 3 year old watch videos on the iPad, but young kids want to touch the screen. I need a method to disable the touch screen. Seems simple, why isn't this an option?
Is there a way to write an app that allows the side switch to act as a "hold" switch?

The obvious solution is to put the iPad screen out of his reach. Now that's innovative!

Why isn't there an option to send a photo right after taking it?

Currently, after taking a picture you can click on that picture in the lower right corner of the camera screen.
Once you do that, you can choose < Camera Roll, Done, Edit, Trash.
Why isn't there an option to choose that photo and send it as a Message, Email, etc. right there, instead of having to close the camera, go back to your photo albums, then choose the picture (which may take a little while if you have a lot of photos), and then choose the sending method?
Its kind of frustrating when you want to quickly send a pic!

There on my phone running iOS 7.0.4. Reset your phone:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Bear in mind, won't be there if taking a pic from the lock screen.

How can I get a new tab to open to my homepage, instead of a blank, untitled page?

When I click on the + to open a new tab, I would like that new tab to open to my homepage, not just to a blank, untitled page. I have looked through the help pages, but have not been able to find any instructions on how to make this happen. Is it possible, or am I asking too much?

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/

How can i get a new tab to open on my homepage

i wish my new tabs to open on my homepage.

You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can look at one of these extensions:

Why isn't there an option to record future shows using the HD box linked to a Multi room DVR setup?

I have a multi room DVR in my livingroom and HD boxes in my 2 bedrooms. Currently if you are viewing a program on one of the HD boxes you are able to record the live program you are viewing as the HD box will enable your DVR to record that show.
Why hasn't FIOS enabled the settop boxes that are part of a multi room DVR setup to be able to record future shows? Needless to say, if I am lying in bed at night and see something in the program guide airing at a future date I really don't want to get out of bed and walk to the living room, turn on the TV and DVR and then program that new recording.
If I have missed something and you can do this please let me know. Otherwise FIOS should add this to their customer's wish list and enable recording for future times on the HD boxes that are part of your multi room DVR system!

You can already do that. Highlight the show in the guide and press the record button. You should get a pop up with the option to Set Reminder or Record on your DVR. If it doesn't check your DVR to ensure that availability is extended to the STB you are using.

Why are pages and articles kept for new tab when privacy settings are on?

History and Tracking is set to not save, and clear upon shut-down. However, when I restart if I open a new tab, previous pages (ie. MSN and any articles I read) show up on New Tab page as options. I like to keep browser history so that when I return to a page my "place" is kept. This doesn't happen in private browsing mode

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

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

How can I get my new tabs to open to my homepage?

When I open a new tab, I want the tab to open straight to my set homepage. For example, my homepage is set to Yahoo.com, so when I open a new tab, how can I make it so that tab will open right to Yahoo.com?

Not an efficient way of using Firefox, in my opinion. There used to be a configuration option to do that but that no longer works, but either of these two extensions will do that.
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/777 New Tab Homepage]
(7KB), or
[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2221 NewTabURL] (47KB).
What I think would be better is to only open your home page when Firefox first opens. To open a Yahoo page later, use a keyword shortcut -- see [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/kws.htm Firefox Keyword Shortcuts]

Why isn't there an override for the following?

Websites prohibit password saving
Some websites do not allow for passwords to be saved for security reasons. If you have followed the steps above, but are still not prompted to save a password when logging into a certain website, that site may have disabled password saving.

I'm not sure what you mean with "Save login info" in the right-click context menu.
Such a choice can only be added by an extension.
Websites can change the code at any time, so if you got a chance to save the password earlier then what doesn't mean that it will wok now.
The bookmarklet should give information about the presence of autocomplete.<br />
There can be other reasons for not getting that offer like an exception or other problems with the password manager.
