Since the Firefox 26.0 update, whenever I start Firefox, it opens to a blank tab instead of my home page.

My Firefox preferences are on:
When Firefox starts: show my homepage
Homepage: http://www.foxnews.com/

If I change my home page, Firefox however opens to a blank tab.

I think I solved my problem.
As I said earlier, I started 25.0.1 and everything was fine.
This morning, I decided to start from scratch.
I deleted Firefox and all my computer files.
Using an application called EasyFind I find all files related to Firefox on my hard drive and deleted. This includes all profiles and preferences.
Then, I downloaded Firefox 26.0 and installed.
So far, the problem still happened.
All right.
Thanks to everyone who has helped me and Happy New Year!
Kind regards
Ken

    Since the installation of Google Chrome, whenever I start to upload photos into my computer, Adobe Photoshop Elements opens upward.  How can I stop this from happening?  I tried to find a place to disable the plugin Adobe in Chrome, but can't locate.  Does anyone have a solution?

    Your answer showed no once again, but here are a few things to check:

    1. If you hold down the SHIFT key and then connect your camera that should stop the pse to open.

    Then go into workstation, do a right-click on the camera (by car), select Properties > AutoPlay and you should be able to change what is happening.

    2. glance in the organizer of items in photoshop under Edit > Preferences > camera and card reader and see if the start automatically is checked.

  • When I open Firefox, it opens my last tab instead of my home page.

    When I open the Firefox browser, it opens the last tab I opened instead of my home page. It's getting very annoying since I can't not understand why or how to fix it.

    ~ I haven't installed a new software, search engines or modules recently that should have done.

    ~ I checked the control panel > uninstall programs (search by date added) to see if there was adverse dracovenii or plug-ins that have been installed, and I do not see everything.

    ~ I played with preferences setting it to 'Show my home page', 'show a blank page' and 'my windows and tabs from last time ". But nothing changes.

    ~ I did some research online to see if anyone else has had this problem, or if there is no solution, that I could find, but I can't find something that sounds like my problem. Especially since what started just around the Firefox update to 31.0 (was it on 30-07-14? quelque_chose like that). But I must admit it seems as it was before... but maybe not.

    It's getting a little frustrating that I can't understand why he did this, or how to solve the problem. I hope someone can point me in the right direction for a solution.

    Thank you!

  • How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please?

    How can you cancel the download of an update that was started by after having pressed the button "Check for Updates" in the window "On Firefox", please? If possible, please cover all platforms, Mac, Windows, Linux, although the first mentioned is what currently applies to my situation.

    Thank you.

    Such a download is usually recorded in a updates or updates folder in the program folder or the Firefox application.
    You can delete this folder to cancel the download.

    If the files have already been downloaded, then delete the files in the folder updates\0 and updates.

  • Anyone having problems with the BT Home Hub 5 since the firmware has been updated two weeks ago?

    Since the firmware has been updated a couple of weeks, my air 2 canned disconnection from the wifi ipad. And if she's not be disconnected it asks the router to renew the lease every few minutes. Sometimes I can't the internet connection, other times I have connection, but used to play embedded videos.  I have to turn the ipad works to recover.

    In addition, my ipad think that the ip address is 127, but my router it's 115!

    I tried BT, but British users will know it is terrible, they are.

    Anyone with problems and suggestions? I tried everything until and including resetting the network settings. I'm sure it's the router.

  • After that the most recent windows update, my computer starts a little more slowly and the start bar at the bottom rises gray and rasterized.

    After that the most recent windows update, my computer starts a little more slowly and the start bar at the bottom rises gray and rasterized. In addition, all pages that I opened on the internet are coming with the same blocks of old, gray. Any ideas on what was past, and how to fix it?

  • Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes

    Everytime I open Firefox I get a message: "an attempt to change your home page has been blocked" and firefox crashes.
    I unintalled (on my MAC) and reinstalled twice. Makes no difference. Any suggestions?

    Could you try starting Firefox in Safe Mode? It is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the option key when starting Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?

    While you are in Mode without failure, you could copy a list of your extensions and paste them into an answer? The best place for this is the support information page - either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    Scroll down to the Extensions section, and then select from there until the end of the following table with the mouse and copy. Then paste into a response. It may seem a bit messy but don't worry, we're used to it.

    In addition, if you check your homepage settings, he changed? This article explains where to find that page preferences: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

  • Since the Thunderbird 38.0 update my computer crashes whenever I start Thunderbird. CAUSE: the sounds associated with a new message notification?

    I am able to use it in Windows safe mode but that is awkward. My computer works fine in normal mode as long as I do not open Thunderbird. Is it possible to go back to the old configuration of Thunderbird. I love the program but it is not very good like that. I tried running Thunderbird in its safe mode by pressing the SHIFT key, when I started to Thunderbird, but it came not in safe mode and the computer froze.

    I had this problem too. He has not happened since I disabled the new message alerts (not only sounds, but the popup and tray icon). It was freezing at startup only when there are new messages so he could get when I started upward. At least one of the freezes have shown the popup in part drawn on the screen, until all of the computer does not meet all, but hold the power button.

    rcharlie, I think your problem is different. I helped someone a few hours ago with similar symptoms where helped to disable alerts. And then, we determined that alerts could be activated IF we have disabled hardware acceleration to tools | options | Advanced | in general.

    rcharlie, what it do work for you?

    Yes. Or rather, the test message, I sent with hardware accel disabled and alert activated has not crashed the computer. Will update if it crashes again.

  • Since the Firefox 27 update, close the tab cancel has stopped working.

    All the other features of restoration work as far as I can tell, and by disabling the only addon that should even remotely affect it (Tabmix Plus) does not solve the problem. I also tried to implement the correction suggested for this article (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/978286?esab=a & s = undo + close + tab + not + working & r = 0 & s = ACE) nothing works.

    No problem with https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/versions/?page=1#version-0.4.1.3

    Maybe the problem is in the latest TabMixPlus

  • How can I stop the bad website to come whenever I start Firefox?

    After installing some software, the URL "http://hi.ru/?10" guard opening in a new tab, whenever I run Firefox. He also took over my home page in Chrome and IE, but it was easy to fix those. For some reason, he keeps ignoring the homepage that I changed it to my Firefox settings. It keeps just setting up this stupid Russian Web site. I tried searching in: config but nothing there. I looked for Add-ons, but nothing is there. No toolbar that could do it too.

    It is not similar to the problem discussed in this article, but I use Windows 8.1, so is not a simple shortcut that I can change.

    If your homepage is correct in the Options dialog box, but by clicking on the icon of the House or by opening a new window (Ctrl + n) charge the wrong page, or charge two tabs (a right, an evil)?

    I know that you have verified that many of these things before, but if you wouldn't mind taking a second look:

    (1) starts by the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This can help the undisclosed items bundle smoker who snuck out with some software, you have agreed to install. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) then, in Firefox, open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    If the problem only occurs with the shortcut on the desktop, are looking for a hijacked 'target' using the side Windows desktop. Right-click on the icon, choose Properties and then the shortcut tab. If you've pinned to the taskbar, the icon of Firefox there is an extra click: right-click on the icon and then click Mozilla Firefox. Then you can get real estate.

    The 'target' for Windows 7 32 bit should be either not less the following:

    "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"

    Edit: Sorry, I forgot to edit after pasting...

    The 'target' for Windows 64 - bit 8.x must be not more not less the following:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    

    If there are extra things on the line after that, it empty.

    Any progress?

  • Unless my Firefox browser is actually updated (version 8.0.1), on my start page is displayed the message that I'm not using the latest version of Firefox! Is this a bug or is my pirate home page?

    I use Windows XP on a PC and Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro.
    In both cases, as my start page, I use "http://www.google.be/firefox?client=firefox-a & rls = org.mozilla:nl:official".
    Under the Googleframe remains the message "U used nieuwste van Firefox versie niet. Upgrade om het beste ITU internet het vandaag you halen! »
    False: my Firefox is already up-to-date.

    You are indeed updated. Firefox stopped using this address as its start page by default when 4.0 is released - page that you use can be (incorrectly) assuming that, if you are looking at him, you must always be on Firefox 3.6.

    If you restore the default home page , you should get more updated information.
