• Firefox does not start on the home page. She begins the last tabs always open

  I confirmed my options are set to open Google as my homepage, but after the restart, Firefox opens to the last open tab in place. A previous, now archived, thread shared this response: try to open the user.js file. For me, it was only a single line, which was user_pref ("browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once", true);. Once I deleted the file, everything is back to normal. However, I can't understand where that file user.js is and I tried to look for it, nothing helps. Help is appreciated. Thank you.

• I installed the Version 7.0.1. on my laptop and desktop computer, but the home pages are different

  I was prompted to upgrade my portable version of Firefox to version 7.0.1. I did this and was very impressed with the new format of the home page with a single button for the menu bar address, etc. of bookmark. I decided to update my desktop computer the same version by downloading the last update, but when it was installed, the format of the home page was not the change to the new format. I decided to use the same installation file I had used on the laptop, but the format has not changed. So I'm puzzled as to why there are two results of different format using the same installation file. Does anyone know of a way to ensure the new format may be invoked on my desk?

• Hello, I am using Firefox for Android on Nook HD +. Cannot find the home button to set up the home screen.

  I want to be able to start with and go back to the home screen, but I did not because I can create one using the button on the home screen. Please help, thanks, Tony.

  If you want a search engine to be your "home page" when you open Firefox, you should always keep your favorite search engine on an open tab, like www.google.com . You will need to do some work to keep it open, as ensuring that this search engine was the last tab that you had open before leaving Firefox. Now, go to Settings - customize - tabs - and make sure it is set to "always restore." Now, if you open tabs before you quit Firefox you do not close, the last of them opens and can technically be your "homepage". Now you can open your e-mail login page too, as long as it was under the tabs open in firefox. Hope this helps some!

• After installation or upgrade to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not display the home page, personalize displays a blank page and the radio button does not work

  I am the admin of Windows for a University Department and install PC with Firefox all the time. This problem does not occur with every PC I would maintain, only a selection bit (model different laptops with Windows and update 1 8.1.) Until today, it has happened with the new user (with admin rights) accounts that I place on laptops for our staff. Today, this happened with the account administrator while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I have install Windows from a registered image that was created by using sysprep.

  I tried many suggestions to reset Firefox, removing the profile of Firefox users, removing the Windows profile users, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstall/reinstall of Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helped. After uninstalling, I run an application to delete the caches and temporary files and even remove manually the keys to register HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. I restart and make sure that the installation folder is deleted after uninstalling.

  Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial settings for migration, IE or Chrome pop up and after having clicked on the button finish, Firefox starts but does not display the home page of the new user, only a blank page. By clicking on the Options (3 bars) button does nothing. Right click in the appropriate box, the shortcut menu appears, so I can choose to customize, but which opens another tab with subject: Customize the URL and the page is blank. In the right click context menu, I can activate the menu bar and get options from that.

  My last attempt helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned, removed the profile user Firefox, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Initial start-up runs and tells me that I'm not up-to-date and the works of button Options. But I can't always customize.

  Then I upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no start page, no options button and no customization. I can go down to 30 and get customize practically works again.

  Addon only is for McAfee Scriptscan to Firefox 15.1.0, just after installation is disabled.

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

• Suddenly, Firefox won't save past except in safe mode, also when I click on the icon to download (next to the home button) nothing happens.

  As the title suggests, for some reason any I can no longer save password unless I'm in safe mode. Same time he began to arrive, the download next to the home button icon became useless. Clicking on it does nothing.

  I tried to reset Firefox, I disabled add ons (it is not them that is the cause), I reinstalled Firefox, I created a new profile, I even transferred data between the profiles. Nothing seems to fix. I don't know what else to do.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

• 26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it loads the previous session (and that includes all tabs). It does not matter how Firefox is closed.

  26 of Firefox does not load the home page. Instead, it load the previous session, regardless of what has been entered in 'Options '. The browser runs in Win 7.0 64 bit; Norton Internet Suite 21 provides security features. There are some solutions 'cloud', also running as Google Drive, box, Skydrive and Cubby. The browser behaves in the same way in all my machines (installation and the OS is similar to that described above) and no amount of reset 'Options' seems to affect it. Nor is it affected by the way that Firefox is closed. This is obviously a bug that should be fixed.

  You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder that affects the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once true value.
