Firefox does not account settings to open the home page to start and open rather the previous tabs

Opening of Firefox, the browser displays my previous session, despite my selection 'display the homepage' or 'show white screen' on the opening.

You can check if you have a user.js file in the Firefox profile folder (a detailed list of the system shows that you have) which defines the pref browser.sessionstore.resume_session_once to true.

(I noticed that the mozillaZine knowledge base is down at the time of this posting)

The user.js file will be present if you or a other software created this file and normally will not present.
The user.js file is read whenever Firefox is started and initializes the preferences to the specified value in this file, so the preferences set via user.js can be changed temporarily for the current session.

You can remove the user.js file if you do not create this file yourself.

You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder:

Windows hides certain default file extensions.
Among them .html and .ini and .js and .txt, and you can see only a file name without file extension.
You can check the file extension (type) in the file properties in Windows Explorer via the context menu.

    No matter what you with Firefox in clearing the browser history by going to the history-> delete history, recent and all delete or reset FF by accessing information from troubleshooting, Firefox does not browsing history. The Web site you have traveled still appear in the address bar.

    Several people have already complained about this (see thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/939028) and the response from the staff of Firefox is that it is be a malware. That's not true, I've seen versions of Firefox in own computers Windows and Mac with Firefox, do the same thing, or rather not do what it is supposed to do: clean browsing history.

    How dangerous is that. Where your privacy? Firefox must find a way to fix this glitch. Something tells me they do it on purpose because it has not been fixed after him complains.

  • Firefox does not have LEEP < Google > as the first and main page. Home page is always the first all tried!

    I need your advice.
    Several months ago the Explorer makes it not possible for me to watch videos from Flixxy.com and even less to download. Anything else, worked ok.
    He kept asking me to download 11 Flush. I have done this at least 30 times, always with success and restarted my PC. Has not changed a thing!
    Then I downloaded Firefox and with her, I could watch and download Flixxy.com.
    Five days ago, something happened (I forgot what!) and I uninstall Firefox and reinstalled a new copy. Since then, I have an odd result:
    When I start it, Firefox starts its < Firefox Start Page >. I want Google and I installed it on the usual way and correctly. It turns on, but next time I restart Firefox, their < Firefox Start Page > is one who is. Only Google don't stay on!
    Everything else works great! And if I care what page they start would be OK: but I want to Google!
    What can you advise me? Why is it so? My anti virus (Norton, Malwarebytes and SUPERAntiSpyware show no virus.
    I reinstalled Firefox three times with the same results. I tried to do everything is written in Firefox Help.
    See you soon!

    Hmm...
    I see... Lets get to the bottom of your system configuration and try to eradicate the problem.

    1. Disable the MindSpark Plugin installed on your firefox Addons > Plugins
    2. Go to control panel > uninstall programs and look for something that says 'Toolbar' or something that sounds like this, uninstall them.
    3. Now reset firefox of topic: support
    4. Restart the system

    Let me know if its fixed or not.

    See you soon!

  • Screen saver does not account settings in Windows Media Player when you watch a movie...

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to solve the problem with the screensaver kick watching a movie using Windows Media Player (WMP), even though I unchecked the option to "allow the screensaver during playback" in WMP?

    I found that if I start Windows Media Center (WMC) first and watching TV for example or even listen to music in WMC and then then quit, then load WMP to watch an AVI, after the specified time, the screen saver starts, and the film is no longer visible until I move the mouse to stop the screen saver.  I know not if I reboot WMP works perfectly and no screensaver will start, which is not so much that I restart WMC, then switch back to WMP...

  • Firefox does not allow me to send a Web page by clicking on the right-why?

    I used to be able to right-click on a Web page and send the page. Then, something changed and when I right click, this option was not immediately available. Instead, I had to right-click, point to a main category that then gave me two options, once that has been send through Yahoo Web page. When I did, the e-mail would fill with the link, but a lot of junk on Yahoo, too.

    Now, when I right click just two weeks later, option has completely disappeared. So, now, I can't send a webpage just be a right-click. I have to copy the link and paste the link open an email. What happened, and can we recover?

    Hello cera78, mozilla cleans its user interface from time to time. user interface studies showed that this context menu entry is only used by < 1% of users.

  • Firefox does not account for single click and has double click for a feature need simple click as a bookmark link, enter in a text box, press a button

    Firefox 7.0.1 on Win7 pro 64

    Hello team FF & community.

    sometimes FF 6/7 shows a VERY strange behavior:
    While 'normal' things on Web sites (click on the links, edit text, scrolling, evolution of the tabs boxes) FF starts to ignore my simple clicks. The only way to work is with double-click instead of single-click (i.e. for links, enter a SBO, switch tabs, even to open a menu of Firefox) for all actions.

    Previously, the last example was about a minute

     https://plus.google.com/circles/find
    

    While moving to a "circle" contact - FF changes only are allowed double clicks. No errors, no message.

    I found this behavior buggy on many different sites - simple websites and with complex features, too - in the past few weeks since bf6 + 7 are current versions.

    With my other two questions, I get the idea that the current releases of FF contain more bugs in versions between FF1 to FF3.

    OK, I think that this issue (change of behavior: needs double click to get the reaction of simple click)-isRESOLVED: -

    I have disabled all addons and enabled/tested one by one... it was, apparently, the add-on "Multi links 3.0.0.16" was the problem.

    I replaced it with "Snap Links 2.1.1" (installed, but not yet tried a new), and less than a week daily work of 10-12 I never got this bug again.

    SOLVED!

  • Download of Firefox does not have an icon on the desktop. There is an orange box with a slot labeled firefox. I can't install firefox.

    I use an iMac with system 10.6.8 and a Safari browser. When I download the firefox program, I don't get the usual global firefox icon. I get a rectangular box with a slit at the end and the label "Firefox". If I transfer this icon in my Applications folder, this icon changes to an alias that can be transferred to the dock. How can I install Firefox?

    Double-click this niche with the logo of Firefox in this regard. Then, a window is displayed. Drag the Firefox icon in the Application folder in this window. Firefox will install. Close the window, drag the thing with the slot of your trash, open applications and open Firefox
