Firefox Support Forum

I just upgraded to version 29.0 from a 4 year old version and I'm experiencing a problem that I can't imagine how to correct. I have two home pages set in my config, so that when I open firefox I get two tabs displayed. My Home Page field reads "https://www.google.com|https://news.google.com" When I open Firefox I get two tabs, one for Google and one for Google News.

On my old version, if I was in the first tab & navigated to www.hp.com and then later clicked HOME, Firefox would load that tab back to google. If I was in the second tab, it would navigate that tab back to google as well. The multiple Home page option was just a great help for initialization.

Now, regardless of what tab I'm in, when I click "HOME" Firefox opens two new pages, sets the first to my first home and the second to my second home and now I have FOUR tabs open. Click home again and I have 6 tabs, again and 8 tabs, etc.

There has to be a way to fix this. The HOME button is supposed to operate of the current focus, just as it does if you have a single home page specified.

My husband installed firefox on his computer, like I have done on my laptop (my son and daughter also), but on my husband's computer, the home page looks different than mine. I have the globe on mine with the search engine in the middle. My husband has some Tviza or something like that show up on his, and when he puts in say weather.com to open when he opens his browser, it never shows up. I am not sure what went wrong. His computer is a desk top from Dell. All of our laptops are Dell also. Thank you! Kelly

I have used the instructions for changing the new tab page. This did not change the start page. Do I need to close firefox for it to take affect? If so it is not in the instructions. I used to have a Google start page but now it is from Ask.com and that is useless for me. I get no good results from Ask. I tried changing to Google, I tried changing to blank, still it does not change. Any suggestions on what I can try?

The tile page used to be my start up page but for some reason has changed. The tiles only show up on a new tab. I have tried everything possible I can think of to change the start up/homepage to show the tiles to no avail.

I pretty much always have a few select tabs open. Is it possible to make Firefox open to a certain tab whenever I open it? I know it will open to the tab that you were on when you last closed Firefox, but it is not always on my mind to navigate to that tab that I want opened whenever I close it.

And yes, I know how to set my homepage. That is in fact NOT my problem! Thank you! :)

How can I change the options on the start page? 10 out of 15 spaces show Firefox promotions or info, leaving only 5 for recent webpages. I really would like to rely on this to open recent pages, and I typically have far more than 5! and have little if any need for the continued promotions of other Firefox features. thank you!

When I used to click onto the Internet Firefox icon to get onto my home page, the top of the screen gave me a click on-link direct to my hotmail email a/c. For some reason that has disappeared. I can still do it via the Internet Explorer icon, but the settings are different, and the system does not accept text as readily as it did when using the Firefox. Could someone please tell me how to (in words a techno phobe can understand and follow) insert this link back onto the Firefox home page. Many thanks...

Suddenly I am not able to get to home page ighome. It keeps timing out. When I do a search for it I am told it is unsafe. I have been using it for years!! I did a Firefox refresh and it messed everything up!!

I am running Firefox 37.0.1 on Windows 7. When I launch Firefox, it opens with all the tabs from my previous session. I would like it close all tabs when I exit, and open only my home page when I start a new session. In Options, under the General tab, I have selected the option to show my home page when Firefox starts, but it does never opens on my home page. It always displays tabs from the previous session. What am I missing?

I have returned to use the efficient workhorse, after a 2 year gap or so. I chose to show my tabs and windows from last time but every time firefox starts I'm instead welcomed by a New tab. I've checked other people's solutions in this support database but all preferences regarding dom.indexeddb and browser.sessionstore are at their defaults. I also have not checked clear history or anything, Firefox stores all information through the centuries, and even has Sync turned on and signed in. Thank you very much :)

I have asked this without result. When using firefox, I can do a search, go to a page, go to deeper pages, click the back button and forward button; but when I click the back button to the home page, the forward button disappears. I have done this by accident or design many times. When I back up to the home page, I have to start all over again, redo the search and it is extremely frustrating. This is NOT fixed by the "Restore Defaults." It seems that if I back up to my home page [Usually Google Search] then Firefox assumes that I will not want to go forward again. I do NOT want another ADD-ON for this. I merely want the forward button in all windows where there is a forward page. How can I get that? I hate to say it, but this happens enough that I have been using Chrome for searches and just general surfing. In my opinion, the forward button show be in ALL windows, grayed out if necessary, but there. But I can accept it disappearing when there is NO forward page. But not when there is a forward page. Note: this NEVER happens in Chrome [and others.] See pictures 1. Google search 2. Search for Yellowstone 3. Go to Yellowstone site 4. Click back button to Search for Yellowstone page. 5. Click back to Google page. Where is the forward button so that I can go forward to the Yellowstone search???

I updated firefox and no longer get My MSN when i open mozzilla or click on the "house" in the upper right corner. Instead I get FoxYeah with a search box. When I click on Makes MSN my home page, I am prompted that it already is. I am sorry I ever up dated

My home page consists of two sites (tabs) and are set to show at startup. Everything worked as expected until I pinned both tabs. Now, at startup I get four tabs, the two pinned tabs and the two unpinned tabs from the home page. This IS NOT what I expected.

I may have asked it wrong. when I open Firefox, I want my start up page to be my comcast.net account. How do I do this
