Using Firefox on Windows 10 with Google as my home page.
Using Firefox on Windows 10 with Google as my home page. Since works with Windows 10 bezel image and question box, but there do not show. Is it because of Google, Firefox, Windows 10 or a joint problem? Have looked for a solution and tried many suggestions but nothing works?
Thank you, Rob
My apologies to you Fred.
The fault was all my decisions. The desktop of Windows 10 had been configured in white using my Visual problems.
It is turn caused the faulty display of Google in Firefox.
A test in the normal Windows theme shows the Google logo and question box frame correctly. This is perhaps why MS do not offer a standard white desktop computer in W10.
Sorry and best regards

I just downloaded Firefox as my browser and I can not find my favorites on my home page icon
Favorite is the end of Firefox. Favorite is the term of IE. Same thing, different name.

I'm on firefox 41. When I select a new tab, I get displayed story. This has changed today. I don't know what I changed to create this problem. He has always displayed Google as my homepage with no history and no new proposed apps. How can I get that back to this point. Firefox deleting then reinstalling would resolve the issue.
Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use an add-on like tab override (browser.newtab.url replacement), to make changes to the page tab.
Once installed, open the Add-ons (Ctrl + Shift + A) Manager > Extensions, and then look for the new tab override and click Options to set your preference.
Note, if you want only the new tab to be the same as your home page, you can use the Add on new tab homepage instead.
You will then need to restart Firefox for all changes to take effect.
If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Update lost on the entry of Google on its home page field
This question has been asked before but is blocked so I'll have to raise a new query. The original request was:
"When firefox opens to the home page of Google, it does not set focus to the text box. I click or select the text box before my strike shows up. »
The user who raised that question was on the 4.7 version, I think; I use v13.0.1 so why the problem still exists?
I opened Google and the BBC homepage when I run Firefox.
If I open Google in a new tab the focus is set on the text box correctly.
It's very annoying. Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this?topic: Home displays the default homepage, you could then choose to set it as one of your landing pages. The default home page opens with the cursor on the search bar, which does not always happen with the other pages.

- Private - browsing using Firefox without saving history all cookies are session cookies that expire if this session is over, so sites don't remember you.

When I open a book marked page, it appears as a window in the sidebar of the home page and I can't do a full page to display correctly. When I first created bookmarks, it wasn't the case, but something has changed? Thank you...
In the Bookmark Manager (Bookmarks > show all bookmarks) you can click on the button more in the lower details pane on the right.
Make sure "Load this bookmark in the sidebar" is not selected.Note that the opening in the sidebar is the default value for the bookmarks created via a link or a button on a Web site.
You can view the properties of a bookmark using the context menu in the side bar (Ctrl + B; Command + B on Mac). -

Windows 7 with Firefox 10
IMO, theme developers too provide misleading screenshots on their theme download pages. They should show the appearance of their "out of the box" theme, without any other change as the first screenshot of the theme using the default value: Home Home page.
Was that your comment on this theme and the response from the developer?

This ONLY happens in Firefox, no other browser for that.
Going to www.google.co.uk I see a stupid 'thing' looking at the left center of the page, hovering a little more and in the path of the search box.
Place the cursor on the 'thing' and I see a url; of www.google.co.uk/webhp@hl=en. Clicking on it does nothing, I would remove it.
Anyone know what this is caused by?

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:
- Help > troubleshooting information > profile directory: see file (Linux: open the directory;) Mac: View in the Finder)
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/profiles
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. -
I always put MSN as my homepage with all versions of Firefox. Firefox has suddenly stopped working (crashed 3 days ago). I had been running Firefox 19 a few days with no problem, simply ceased to work with MSN and just frozen screen? I tried MSN with Internet Explorer and no problems? I tried to disable the plug-ins and Java, but no use? The only way I can use Firefox is to use a different homepage, then there is no problem.
iceman21, thanks for posting back. I'm glad that you have solved your problem.
I suspect something may have changed, but still I have not discovered what could have any relevant change. A way or an another most users seem to be able to solve the problem, usually by disabling cookies and cache.

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?
