The 'Design Different' home screen Firefox keeps popping up even after controlling for him in the preferences.

More here: [924123/questions/924123]

I installed the new Firefox on my Mac, OS x 10.6.8 by dragging the icon in the Applications folder. I run the application and the "Different by Design" Firefox screen opens. My previous homepage is in a tab behind that. I select 'No' to help improve Firefox question and close the window. Whenever I have run Firefox or open a new window, and then displays the home screen Firefox. I checked the preferences and my company site is set as the home page. It matters little if I uninstall Firefox, restart the computer and reinstall Firefox. I even tried to install older versions, and continues to get the same error.

Hi bigmex,

You should look at this article on this specific issue and Preferences not savedarticle. It should give you all the information you need!

If this does not work:

  1. Enter about: config in the address bar
  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise you if prompted
  3. In the filter field, type Startup
  4. Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
  5. Delete the text string, and then click OK
  6. Close Firefox and reopen the window to check that it worked.

Hope this helps!

  • Plug my 6s continues to open the Photos app even after controlling for him?

    With the help of an iPhone 6 9.2 running. As a Mac Pro (mid-2012) running 10.11.2. When I plug my phone in, the Photos app opens wanting import me all my photos. I'm not interested by this on this machine, since it is a work computer, so I'm going to Capture Image and tell the computer not to open any application, when I plug in my phone. However, it seems that if I go a day or two without connecting to the work, it immediately at the opening of the Photos app is once again going even if I put it above to not open any application when it is plugged.

    Any thoughts on why this keeps happening? Does not seem serious whether or not I restarted my computer, it will do the same thing anyway.

    Hello bdouglas,.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that you don't want pictures to launch whenever you have your iPhone connected to your work computer.  It's quite understandable, so to get this option changed, please follow the steps below.

    1. Plug in your iPhone
    2. Select your iPhone from the column on the left in Photos
    3. Deselect the checkbox next to 'Open pictures for this device'
    4. Photos of quit smoking

    After you follow these steps, Photos should more be opened whenever you connect the iPhone to your work computer.

    Take care.

  • Firefox continues to run even after the release in Manager Windows tasks and has about as much memory to affect other applications

    Firefox continues to run even after the release in Manager Windows tasks and has about as much memory to affect other applications. Firefox.exe must be completed manually in Windows Task Manager. Is there a software patch that will force the release of memory and all the resources of the computer that was using Firefox, when it is finished?

    This has happened

  • My computer keeps giving me the blue screen of death... even after that I reinstalled the operating system

    I have an emachines W3644... it came originally with windows xp family, but I currently have windows xp pro installed. It worked great for 4 months, no problems or anything. I got it sitting speakers... speakers were not connected or hung. I don't know if this could hit anything or not? My computer has 1.37 GB of RAM and the graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nForce 405.

    Questions are... Well, he keeps just randomly bluescreening. There isn't really a reason as that why, I'm the only person using this desktop computer, and I really did something to do that. I have scanned with many different scanners, and they found simple things like false positives and tracking cookies, none of which is a big deal.

    I tried many things to fix this myself... but nothing has worked. I'm starting to wonder if it's something to do with the material?

    I tried many things... include system restore, using the last known settings who worked, and also something to do with the domain controllers, or whatever.

    No one has solved the problem. He continues to randomly bluescreen. Also, a few times I clicked on records and he told me that they were corrupt, and when I right click on them and click Properties, it says that this folder contains 0 bytes of data... when there is more than 1 GB of stuff in there. This is the folder where I put my icons of computer maintenance and other things in.

    Then I'll reboot it'll randomly blue screen while windows is loading, he'll also do to the logon screen and sometimes even after connection... sometimes I it will load everything very well and it'll be on the desktop and I will leave the room and return, and it will be on the blue screen.

    I'm not sure what to do at this point. I reinstalled windows... and he still bluescreens. I copied most of the error codes he gave me... If someone could tell me please what they mean, or be of any help that would be great. I tried a lot of things... even reinstall... and he still continues to bluescreen. I also unplugged then replugged... all that does not work either. I also tried in safe mode, even in safe mode it bluescreens, sometimes even during loading safe mode.

    Anyway... Let me just enumerate all the error messages I've written... Please look at and if you know what NONE of them speaks, please let me know. I just want to know what his question is... so I can hopefully do this fix, or at least get another or something.

    Here are the error codes I wrote last week.

    Thank you.

    If the RAM is only four months and you have identified that it is at the origin of the problems (e.g. the BSOD happen when only a single module of RAM is in) and then even after four months it can always happen.  Things such as ESD (Electro Static Discharge) or plug the RAM while it is still on the motherboard can cause these problems to happen... but they may or may not happen immediately.  The RAM could be faulty from the beginning, but has only gotten worse.  But unfortunately there is nothing that can make it work, if it is faulty, then it has to go back for a refund/replacement - as boring (and believe me, I know) that it is.

    0X000000BE normally concerns pilots in regards to the 0 x 00000050 - this normally either bad RAM, video memory, and bad devices (although not very likely) or bad memory Cache L2 (did not have a lot of people), but it can also be bad device driver software.

    I wish that the BSOD errors are actually more accurate as to describe what is at the root of the problem but they are not, and most of the time, it is by a process of elimination that we can solve the problems. However, I would say that if your original RAM works in the machine and you get only BSOD when the new RAM is in, then the new RAM is the culprit.

    Here's a little info on the RAM and it does: http://www.technologybasics.co.uk/WhatIsRAMAndWhatDoesItDo.html

  • Smartphones from blackBerry Storm 9530 screen is black, no response, even after the Os re - install

    Hello.

    It's just a few months because I bought a second hand BB storm 9530 on Ebay.

    the phone was perfect for 1st 2 months... recently, few days back when I took my phoone out of the Holster, the screen was black but the backlight is turned on... I've done a few handfuls of battery and it seems to be ok,

    then he started to get worse, even after that the battery does no display on the screen, it was the dark night (except for the backlight).

    I started to get desperate, I reinstalled the operating system 5.0.0.32 8, it seemed to be ok for a few minutes, then back to the drawing board. I reinstalled the same version of the OS for a couple of times, but the screen did not show what either. not even the OS loading screen (the first one). I tried downgrading etc... no use...

    the phone shows no signs of improvement.

    Since my phone has not left any warranty, I don't know what to do.

    Please advice me what do.i yet tried loads the operating system using the AppLoader.exe

    I'm out of options.

    I am a resident of kerala, India.

    all my work related emails are merged with my BB... so, any help would really be appreicated.

    Thank you very much!!

    I agree.. is not sound like a problem of software for me, but rather the LCD needs to be replaced.

  • Firefox will not start even after uninstal and reinstal

    I was using Firefox normally. I shut it off for awhile then I would never open again. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it did not fix the problem. I deleted the program files and profile records and reinstalled again... same thing. When I run it, the rotation slider works for awhile then goes back to the arrow shape. I have no more details to give.

    Thanks to Cor - el, that put me in the right direction. My problem wasn't with any security system, but with software that has been installed in my computer without my consent. I found it through all the applications in the window settings and programs. The culprit is "Interenet optimizer" (named exactly like this). After uninstalling this guy, my Firefox started without any glitch.

  • Firefox 25.01 - blocker blocks pop-ups even after you stop it

    I use a greasemonkey userscript which, on the use of shortcuts keyboard, triggers the search for all links on a Web page containing a certain keyword and them opens automatically in new tabs. The script seems to work fine except when the open links are too many (more than 5 for example), then firefox displays popup blocker bar and prevents the opening of all the other links. I tried to add the site to list exceptions and even disable the blocker, but he keeps blocking the tabs even though the exceptions list shows the added site. Is there a work around for this problem? Any suggestions? Help, please.

    Thanks in advance.

    It is possible that you are having this pop up maximum (the default is 20).

  • Why Firefox keep showing a strange police cursive for certain sections of text on websites like Wikipedia?

    For past month or two, when I consult Wikipedia a few other sites, sections of text are displayed in a large, cursive font. I can't find any rhyme or reason to what sections show this way. This isn't the case at all sites but there are a couple where I'm the see. This makes things really difficult to read. For a screenshot, see this file I put on YouSendIt , YouSendIt.

    Such behavior is usually caused by another font that does not work and that Firefox replaces with the following font in the list. In this case, you can check the Arial Cursiva police.
