I have used Mozilla Firefox as my default browser, for years. Recently, I used a program to clean (what it said was) junk files from my computer. Unfortunately, I did not make a rescue point. After removal of the files, several of my programs, including Firefox, has no longer worked as it once did. I was always able to go into settings to select my browser, my search engine, my home page, etc. That is no longer possible. I was wondering if I should uninstall Firefox and reinstall - or is their another easier way to repair my problem?

Any help I can get is much appreciated.

Greetings, For the past 10 years, when our company would open Firefox in Windows, it would open directly to our company Intranet. This was configured using group policy.

Last week, after our Firefox versions were all updated to version 149, every time firefox opens, it opens to the "Firefox homepage". Nothing on our end was changed.

Clicking the home button does take us to our intranet, but I cannot get firefox to open to our intranet automatically.

I went back to version 148, launched firefox, and Intranet appears.

I then let firefox auto updated to 149, and the intranet does not open automatically.

Please help. Possibly a bug?

Since the most recent update installed on Firefox, my homepage no longer loads on opening the browser. Instead, a blank page loads, and I have to hit the home button in order to get to my home page. I've checked and none of my settings have changed, so don't see what else it can be other than some kind of bug?

How do I reset my homepage to Firefox and away from Norton. I don't know why my homepage switched away from Firefox. I require explicit foolproof instructions. I am 87 years old and not savvy.

I'm trying to diagnose an unusual problem on a relative's computer elsewhere in the country via TeamViewer. When Firefox is initiated, the same picture (a man taking a shower) appears, and the VERY 'long URL starts with a Yahoo image file (yimg) and also contains buzzfeed.com well into that URL. I thought I could easily diagnose this, and have failed. Home page is set to blank page. I cleared all browsing data. When that failed I exported bookmarks, created a new profile, and the problem still continued, even before importing the bookmarks or adding any extensions. Something is retaining the unwanted startup behavior. Tonight, out of desperation, I will reconnect and look through the registry.

Can anyone surmise why an unwanted URL is being invoked upon Firefox startup?

I really miss the home symbol (a little house), as it allowed me to go back to the original page- blank. I could just start over without having to clear the address bar. It was way better than without it. Any way I can get it back?

In the previous version of the Firefox opening screen, I had a Google search bar. Below this would be the most popular sites I had visited in a three line grid.

Since the update, the Firefox logo and a huge amount of white space now occupies nearly half the screen before we even get get to the Google search bar. The three line grid of most recent sites has been pushed to the bottom third of the screen and the third line of the grid I actually have to scroll down to see.
