• change the homepage

  Is it possible to 'lock' the homepage so apps can not change? Sometimes I install new programs to evaluate them and they change my homepage. I'm using Firefox 3.6.12. Thank you!

  The following method will not prevent the homepage change, but whenever you start Firefox, it starts again home page return to the one you want if it has been changed.

  1. First you have to open the profile folder, for details on how to do this see the article of profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data .
  2. Close Firefox and using a text editor create a file called user.js (this file may already exist)
  3. Add the following line to user.js, using the homepage you want.

  user_pref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://www.google.com/");

  Tried to change host because by Firefox HELP page (several times), but cannot get rid of the Findwide page at startup. I tried to install and run the module by another post but could not get the add-on to run. I'm on Windows 8 for a Dell laptop. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  I guess you mean the SearchReset extension.

  • https://addons.Mozilla.org/firefox/addon/SearchReset/

  Note that the SearchReset extension runs only once and then uninstalls automatically, so it will not appear on the page "> Firefox Add-ons" (topic: addons).

  You can also check for problems with preferences and try to rename or delete the file prefs.js and possible prefs - numbered # .js and a user.js file possible to restore the values all default prefs.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved

  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 (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

  • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

  Using FF 4.0.1 and when well even I have (and have ALWAYShad) 'Show my Homepage only at startup' selected and NOT 'windows & tabs fr. '. The last time' selected, windows and tabs from my last session have suddenly (starting yesterday) appear whenever I start FF. (And I don't not updated to 4.0.1 yesterday; done only a few weeks previously).

  If you are not using "show my windows and tabs from last time ', so make sure that Firefox is closing properly to prevent restoration of session log may be overwritten.

  There are several methods to lock a preference, I do not know what Handycafe application method would be used. The following link can help, first try the user.js file section - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved

It is possible that the customer to handycafe is always installed. See the solution on this similar issue - http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/728649

• How can I reset my homepage until FireFox opens the homepage?

  A spam/malware site got itself logged as one of my home pages, and I want to give my pages to a default value. The ordinary mode to do it is to use the Tools menu, but you must leave homepages opened prior to doing it this way. I don't want this site to open again. It appears very suspects windows when it opens. How can I reset my homepage to Firefox externally?

  My suggestion would be to send you a link to the home page you want to set as the default value. Click on the link and Firefox will open directly at this link, bypassing your current homepage.

  You should then be able to go into tools and change the default home page. I would recommend that you run a malware program to find the cookie or a program that landed itself on your system. Ad-aware is an excellent program to use and is quite comprehensive.

• How can I change the locale of Firefox?

  Today, my administrator has installed another version of Firefox (version FrontMotion) to my machine. This version has apparently removed my German installation of Mozilla Firefox and installed in English.

  Now, all the shortcut keys, I use have become different and, therefore, lost.

  I couldn't find a preferences to switch to another language. Even to download the last version of Firefox does not allow me to choose my favorite place.

  So, how can I change regional settings in Firefox?

  I could find a localized version of Firefox on this site. However, this new version seems to be a standard version of Firefox. I expected to be ousted in the future again.

  However, now I have my German Firefox version for now.

  Thank you for your help me.

• I tried to change my homepage, but I don't have the apply"" button. When I open the browser again, it goes back to the old homepage.

  When I try to change my home page, there is no "apply" button to hit, so the browser returns to the old homepage when I reopen it my browser. I made sure that my browser is up to date, but which did not help. I was able to change my homepage for a long time, with success, and he stayed there. I didn't notice when it has changed or what may have caused the change to come. I'm on Windows 8 with all latest updates.

  When you try to change the home page? There is no 'Apply' button in Options > general-> start - button restore default should back to Subject: House .

  Or you can use current to use Pages in the general tab.

• Cannot change the homepage. The field is grey than above it.
