I want to launch Firefox with a blank page, BUT when I restart firefox, it loads the homepage
I have reset start empty, but there is not.
So just to confirm, in the general Panel of the Options page, you set
"When Firefox starts: display a blank page.
And when you close the Options page and open it again, your bet is still there.
But when you close Firefox and run it again, it has changed to:
"When Firefox starts: show my home page".
There are a number of possible reasons for Firefox to lose your changes of parameters between session. Software that is designed to protect you against unwanted changes you blocks actually make changes sought. This includes Advanced SystemCare, and some other utility/privacy/security software with a 'navigation protection' or a 'protection home page"feature.
This article has other possible explanations: How to fix preferences that will not save.
If you find that Firefox remembers not change between visits on the Options page: you can have a different problem, as a generally unwanted program named SearchProtect who should be removed from the Windows Control Panel or a configuration file 'automatic' which locks your start setting. We can help you to further explore that if this seems to be the behavior.

I continue to reset Firefox (latest version) to open a blank page, but he continues to open up to the default Home Page. This homepage has a unwanted Firefox logo in the Middle, with a search bar under. I don't want to see it all when I opened Firefox, but can't seem to get rid of it. There is nothing in the Extensions or Plug-Ins that could cause this.

Only a blank page shows when you open Internet Explorer after the start.
I'm starting to feel like an annoying uncle who comes to dinner too often, but I had another problem for you guys. Start goes normally, but when I click on the icon to start Internet Explorer, a blank page is displayed. At the top reads: "Documents and settings-all users.» "------Windows start menu-programs------startup------start" I ex it out, that is to say then returns. When I left IE and it starts later, the page does not reappear. As I said, it seems that when I start the computer, and then open IE. It is not in all programs - Start Menu. I'm fresh out of virgins to sacrifice to the God of Microsoft, so what do I do? I have a Dell Dimension 9150, with Windows XP, Service Pack 3.

I uninstalled the drivers, but the download and installation of the new are a huge problem for me. I know that pilots are Radon X 800 series. Devices are 554F for the video card and 556F for the secondary graphics card. I visited the ADM/ATI website and tried to use the upload feature and automatic installation, but it did not show any available driver. I have spent more than two hours trying to understand how to find and download drivers, but not luck. Can you help me? I have a Dell Dimension 9150, running Windows XP, 32-bit with Service Pack 3.

Firefox said I can update. After I download update and reboot it is always on the same version and starts to download update again. IM on 38 channel update version beta version
38 of Firefox is the current version.
Your list of details of the system shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time you start Firefox.
The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
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 Firefox profile folder currently in use:

I have my Firefox home page set up like Yahoo! Mail, but when I first open Firefox I get 4 separate sessions Firefox with a blank page for each session. When I click on Tools/Options, it is said that yahoo! Mail is still my home page.
It is possible that there is problem with sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the profile folder
Delete sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the profile folder
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: opens showing the file
If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
You will have to redo the App Tabs and tab groups after delete sessionstore.js.

Cannot configure FF to start with a blank page from today - now starts always with previous session
I have the Options set to always open with a blank page and until today, which has always worked. But today it always opens with the tabs from the previous session. I certainly do not want. I've upgraded to version 38.0 but this made no difference.
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.

Windows hides certain default file extensions.
Among them are .html, .ini and .js, .txt, so you can see only file name without the file extension.
You can see the type of actual file (file extension) in the properties of the file via the context menu in Windows Explorer.The user.js file is present than if you or another software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be here.
You can check its contents with a text editor (right click: 'Open with'; do not double-click).
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.

How to open a new window with a blank page?
More specifically, when I open a new window (CTRL-N), I want a new browser with a blank window and the cursor in the address bar (so I can just start to type the new URL - like Firefox 3.0.3 allowed me to do). In 3.0.3 I was able to set my 'homepage' is empty. I'm more than happy to edit about: config, but impossible to find the right element to change. Notice, if I edit browser.startup.homepage and clear this field, Firefox it set (obnoxiously) back to about: House. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
RESOLVED (found a workaround at least). If I change everything: browser.startup.homepage config and change to about: empty, so I can leave "tools-> options-> general tab - > start-> start Firefox ' value ' show my windows and tabs from last time" and a new window (CTRL-N) will result in a new blank window with my cursor in the field (ready to type a URL) location. Until now, it was my only real concern after the upgrade to 3.03 - very satisfied 10.0.2 so far, thank you Mozilla!

Question
Sometimes of firefox loads a page slowly with a single click, but if I double click it loads very well? Is there a reason or a fix for this? Overall, I really like Firefox. I always use the latest beta version.Hi Jlhillhouse,
It is difficult to solve the problems of the computer without knowing all the details. You should look at the link I sent you and especially to Firefox is slow - how to make it faster. I don't know any known issue as you describe, it's probably a very good bet for a response.

When I have 2 or more tabs open in my browser I want to close Firefox and save the tabs so when I open it again the sites will return. Use to do this, but something needs to happen. begin to close, now it asks me if I want to save sites
If you still want to open the sites that you opened before, in the Options dialog box, go to the general Panel and make sure that the parameter 'When Firefox starts' is set to ' show my windows and tabs from last time '. You will not be asked to save the tabs because they are automatically registered.
If it is set to one, but sites do not open when you start Firefox, open your profile folder and delete sessionstore.js and if there are sessionstore.bak. For more information on how to find your profile folder, see the article of profiles - where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data . Who can help if the file that stores the details of the session is corrupt.

I am on iOS 9.2 and Game Center still does not work. When I open the app it freezes on a blank page. When I open the Game Center in the Middle it hangs just. For this reason, I can't back up my data on my games. Please Apple can solve this problem of iOS 9.2.
Hello Vaishnav,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
I see that you are having problems with Game Center on your iPhone. I have a number of things for you to try.
First force quit Game Center.
- Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used.
- Swipe to the left to find the Game Center app to close.
- Swipe up on the preview of the Game Center to close.
If this does not work, then the next step would be a restoration. I recommend restore like new, without backup restore and everything first. If it works there, you can restore the backup.
Use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings
Best regards.
