Question

Hello ideato

I tried your first suggestion to no avail.

The second suggestion frightens me to death! I never get these things right. Unfortunately there is no one I can call on if something goes wrong so I'll just wait and see if I can dig up some courage in the near future!!

Thanks so much for the help.

John

Hello John, you can do it, it is not so difficult, go ahead, and we are here to help for anything else.

thank you

I will, but in a few days. I have to see my cardiologist & proctologist!! Don't get old. Thanks for the encouragement. What will the "text string" look like?

Thanks again John

Hi John, you will see a sequence of text next to the startup.homepage_override_url , right-click on it & select modify(or double-click on it) and clean the area, and don't forget to click ok, then close and restart firefox.

the startup.homepage_override_url put it in the search field, see the screenshot , see also about:config

all of us getting old, with hope to mature mentally also

thank you

I tried this several times, each time removing the string, closing out Firefox and opening it again. I still can't get rid of that screen. Jane

See these articles for some suggestions:

• https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

I thought I had removed the file and the address after the | is no longer there but the same screen keeps popping up. I am ready to switch to IE!

Hello pasdechat, see the Preferences not saved link in above cor-el reply
