  Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

  Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

  If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
  • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

  and OK reboot.

  Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

  Any improvement?

  While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

• My start page for Firefox has no internet or great, address only the Google search box area.

  Before the last update of my Mozilla Firefox, the start page for Firefox contained one area internet address to the top of the screen, where I could enter a Web address and go success. She also showed the Google search box in the middle of the screen.

  Now, after the update of Firefox, the start page shows that the Google search box. There is no internet address box or an impressive "box", which, according to my reading of the new features, is supposed to have replaced the internet address box.

• Restore the old logo of firefox in the start page for firefox & lose crazy tail Fox logo

  Within the last few days my regular firefox logo appearing on the firefox start page has changed on my desktop (windows xp) and two laptops (windows 8 and windows 8.1). All changed logos at the same time. The normal logo (globe portfolio blue orange fox) is now an orange Fox (globe portfolio) with a tail of control crazy that encircles wildly around the world a couple of times. Is not cute & compact but instead takes a lot of space and really bothers me. Firefox has been one of the rare browsers that I have the right to make the automatic updates, but I'm going to change these settings, since I had so much trouble trying to change the rear logo. My history of update watch 32.0.3 update has been installed on 24-09-14 & put update 32.0.2 installed 30-10-14, which seems odd to me since 32.0.3 would seem to come after 32.0.2. (There is no cartoon character saying "click me" nor is there excerpts, and I don't want to block the ordinary brand logo, I just want to get rid of this crazy tail logo).

  I appreciate your help on this as this crazy tail logo is driving me crazy!  Thank you very much.
  

  The change of the logo on the default home page is temporary for various promotional campaigns that Mozilla is run. Unfortunately, it seems to be the 'new normal' now. When he started last spring, it was like once every two months for a week or two, but now it looks like a 'week', then in another week or two another promo starts.

  Follow cor - el's guidelines to lock the "excerpt" from being downloaded, then clear the current "SnippetsMap" via the Web Console.

  Or, just set your own choices for your home page.

  Change the home page when you check only in "Options > general > Startup" or is it a problem with the page that opens when you launch Firefox?
  For the latter, you can check the field target in the Firefox desktop shortcut.

  Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

• A person continues to change my home page every time I'm on the Internet, how can I do so they cannot do more?

  I get on the Internet with Firefox, and someone changes my home page of this web site of conduit. I think it's a search engine. In any case, I change back to Yahoo as I want, and they change it right back. I spent the last two nights my antivirus running and try to change my passwords and all that fun jazz and it still happens. Can you do stop, please? I'm tired of resetting my Firefox so that I get rid of this problem too. It's a recurring problem. This is officially the third time, I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to get rid of this problem, and I'm tired of it.

  The Conduit Plugin and associated preferences changes become installed by themselves, the user is involved due to the installation of the extensions of 'shit' or other garbage programs. You must be more careful when they decide which modules or programs you install.

  For correct Firefox the first thing to do is remove this extension has entrusted the toolbar through the Add-ons Manager Extensions tab.
  https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/remove-toolbar-has-taken-over-your-Firefox-search

  Then install the extension search Reset - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/

  Then fix everything: newtab - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites#w_how-do-i-turn-the-new-tab-page-off - preference and instead of double-click that preference, right-click this pref and select ' Reset. "

• Can I put in start page for Firefox with a different search engine, not Google?

  I remove all things 'Google' from my computer. I want the Start Page for Firefox, because I can get to options, modules, etc. and I don't want to lose this.

  Easier is to select the preferred search engine in the search bar on the Navigation toolbar to see the name of this search engine in the pref browser.search.selectedEngine and copy its value to the browser.search.defaultenginename pref.
  
  Firefox should use this search engine on the subject: home page after a closing and restarting Firefox.

  If this isn't the case, then you can have an extension which is predominant, especially if the pref change.
