My home page is set to a blank page. If I quit firefox, and start it again it goes to the page where it was when I left instead of a blank page. How can I stop this annoying feature.
Preferences of Firefox to go to the homepage when it starts. Home page is a blank page. If I quit firefox to one page other than the home page, and then start it again goes to the page it's on, instead of a blank page. Very annoying.
This feature is on all my computers and has been on all versions of firefox in all versions of ubuntu.
Try this:
type in the address bar Subject: config
then press i ' l be sure to what I promise
then type in the bar of browser.startup.page
Right-click on it, and then change the value of (probably 2) to 0.
exit firefox and restartit.
Thank you

I have land in Facebook when I try to go to Google. How can I stop this?
While, not more of the time, my Firefox version 18.0.1 takes me to Facebook when I try to go to Google, or try to refresh when I'm already on a Google page. When this happens, it does not matter if I enter the URL, Google Google Google and click on the link or use a bookmark. Something is tells Firefox to take me to Facebook, and I can't understand what it is. Usually the problem goes away with time, less than half an hour sometimes. And I can also fix it by restarting Firefox or my Windows PC.
Someone at - it this same problem? Someone has any idea how to prevent that from happening?
I emptied the DNS and tried Google. Even Facebook. I restarted Firefox, entered in Google - and has obtained from Google!
Hope it sticks. Thanks for your help!

I used save as draft before, but now the messages seem to just randomly appear in the folder. At the same time, I got 200 messages 'project', messages, I had already sent. It takes a kind of problem of "timer", that is, if I leave the PC for a while without having 'saved' message, I'm working on.
There is a default parameter to save a draft every 5 minutes if you take a lot of time to compose a message. The setting can be found in Options/Preferences > Composition.

Home page to load twice. How can I stop this?
Whenever I open Firefox, my home page is loaded twice. How can I stop this from happening?
Firefox allows multiple home pages in separate tabs, perhaps inadvertently affect you the same page twice? These separate pages have a vertical bar | between them in the dialog box 'Homepage'.

When I open a link that opens a new Firefox window, it opens 2 tabs instead of one. A tab is the link that I opened and the second tab is just a generic Mozilla tab with links to 12 pages like Facebook, Youtube, etc. This tab opens on top too, so I always have to close to get what I'm looking for. How can I stop this from happening?
Hello. Thanks for all the posts on this topic. I have the same problem, as described by the op. But, while I use Avast, I have NOT the add-on from Astromenda which has been mentioned. However, I have the SB installed toolbar, and it has been recently updated, 29/12. I suspect that it is the culprit, if this problem is in fact not caused by an update of Firefox (my tiles have recently been reset on new tabs, and I suspect that Firefox for this problem).
I am ready to remove the toolbar from the SB, but prefer to keep it (Yes, I admit I'm stupid) If this annoying 'new window = 2 tabs with 'new tab' at the top' would just leave.
Apart from the removal of the toolbar SB... does anyone have suggestions? I don't see that all recently added add-ons/extensions that I don't recognize, apart from the update of the toolbar of SB.
Updated: 5 minutes after this announcement, I disabled the toolbar of SB and restarted Firefox. No change.

Since I installed Firefox 10.0.2 (which was about 10 minutes ago), a Web page I load starts flashing if no changes to its content.
Here are some examples: videos, Flash, Connections... same scrolling causes the entire page to Flash.
Right now, as I type this message, the text box will Flash each characters.
As you can imagine, it's extremely annoying.
