Google links redirect to the Google home page, not the link itself.
Not all the time, but most of the time, I search something, get my results from google and then click on one of the links to be taken to the homepage of google. The button is disabled. So I search again, try again, and yet once I get redirected to the google home page. This time the works of the "back" button, but only to take me back to the last incarnation of the google home page. What is going on?? It's very frustrating, and new since I upgraded to 6 FF.
Turning off HTTPS everywhere for google services fixed this problem for me.

I used Google to my home page. Google went to Google +. I'm not interested. When I opened my Google home page, empty of course, on my HP laptop, Win7, I do not see the top left orange tab that allows me to do "good things". On top of my office, Win XP, I can still see the orange tab. Why is it different? I really need this Orange tab a top left. This is the portal of many features that I use. Thank you!
Please ensure that you have not enabled the menu bar.
This can be done:- Right-click in an empty tab bar area
- Bar menu uncheck the menu drop-down
You are referring to the Firefox button, correct?

I tried to reinstall FF, re - set the settings...Using FF 3.6.6
Hello.
I hope that this support article is what you need:
http://support.Mozilla.com/en-us/KB/session+restore
If this does not help, it is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.
If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

Why the shortcut for Pogo on my desktop to open my google home page?
I don't know why the shortcut on my desktop is no longer open Pogo. Now the yahoo home page opens when I click on pogo. What can I do to fix this?
Hello
Right-click on the icon for pogo on your desktop
Choose Properties
Make sure that you are on the shortcut tab
Next to the "target" there is a storage location of the executable file.
For pogo games, it is: C:\ Program PopCap Games\ (the game you are trying to play)
Enter the full destination and the ".exe" in the location target file and the shortcut should work fine.
You can also go to the folder above, locate the '.exe' file and right click and choose "send to" and then "desktop (create shortcut).

Why the links on my home page not work in Firefox 29
After having downloaded 29 FF, hyperlinks on the home page of my provider don't work. If I try to select them, I get a little window indicating that the browser is not supported. 28 FF worked very well.
What has gone wrong?
Hi cps1954,
For track-, it seems it has been fixed on [www.kpnvandaag.nl].
Thanks again for reporting this issue.

I put my pages in tools/options/general (use current pages) after, of course, before defining them in their tabs. (mail, weather, etc.) After leaving Firefox and coming back, home pages I put flash briefly, but then go back to "show my windows and tabs from last time '. I can click on the Home icon and the legs are inserted correctly
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.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)

It is a change made by Google, you can join those who complain to Google on change.
The next to MozillaZine thread can be useful if you want to change it- http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=7 & t = 2239295

I think it might be linked to the entry, because the buttons disappear and the buttons normal 'symbol' turns into words instead.

On each laptop OS is Vista Home Premium. All updates, in the past, have been installed without problem. Anti virus is Norton 360 on each PC. Never had a problem until now, with an update. I would like to install the update that is referenced, but it completely disables IE8. Any suggestions on how to fix would be appreciated.
See http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Internet-Explorer-8-quot-not-responding-quot-when-symantec/m-p/332499#M136282 [applies to N360 and other applications Norton]
Manually & repeatedly update Norton 360 via LiveUpdate (or smart update) until you get a "not more than updated" or similar prompt.
Then reinstall KB2447568, if necessary.
TIP: Never, EVER to use system restore to 'Cancel' an update, Service Pack, or upgrade of IE! Instead, uninstall the update, Service Pack, or the IE patch & reboot. If that does not resolve the problem, then try System Restore.

Mozilla browser with the Google home page has 2 toolbars under the bookmarks that are empty bar
Problem is firstly (first toolbar) about a month ago. Another toolbar empty added to the homepage in the last two days. Cannot remove them.
Hi, try clicking on settings by default, as shown in the controls, buttons, and Toolbars Customize Firefox.
If that does not do it, try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:
- Click the menu button
click Help
then select restart with disabled modules.
If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:
- On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
- On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
(you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."
If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.
When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

I tried the extension 0.4.3, which I found in a forum, but it did not work... I have foxtab on installed... and anti-ad adds...
This problem may be caused by an extension that is not working properly.
Start Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > appearance/themes).
- Makes no changes on the start safe mode window.

Home page not what I had yesterday
When Firefox starts, he has blocks of Web sites, that I've been too - and I could move like I wanted, but now they have disappeared? I need them! Please help me to get back them. Tanx
They should not change just by themselves, other than the update for example due to the frequency of visits. There is change coming in next versions where at least some of these blocks or tiles will be "suggested tiles"
They will also disappear if you use private browsing, clear all your history or change settings
