Vista go to the home page
When windows starts, it allows me to log on, but gets then locked to the Welcome screen - the only way I can make progress is by pressing Ctrl/Alt/Del, then I can access the main access. I tried to disable some startup progs, tried the system restore, but it still locks located on the Welcome screen. I have a vista disc but it will allow only one installation of complete system rather than an upgrade (it says upgrade disabled) - which I assume would erase all my files, so I don't know what to do? Clues?
You can do an inplace Upgrade If you check the Service Pack levels:
On your installed operating system Service Pack level cannot be greater than what is on the disk.
Click Start > right click on computer > properties > system > it will tell you which SP you have install.

"How to uninstall Windows Vista service packs"
If the installed OS has the disk with Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2 > uninstall SP2 installed operating system > repair install upgrade > reinstall SP2.
And run the upgrade of a Vista operating system.

Setting the home page does not work
When I run Firefox I still get Delta Homes search page. I put my home page ABC.net.au/news/ and made sure the Firefox start with "show my home page". However, it makes no difference and I get page Delta Homes when Firefox opens. How can I change this?
Favorite and use this.
Download the Mozilla search reset {web link}
This module is very simple: when installing, it backs up
and then resets your search and home page preferences
at their default values and then to uninstall. This
affects the search bar, search bar URL, and the home page.Sometimes a problem with Firefox can be a result of malware installed on your computer, you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one.

What sites you encounter the problem with?
Make sure flash player is the current version
http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/
Check Shockwave player is the current version
http://www.Adobe.com/Shockwave/welcome/
Check the Java version

does not open to the home page
Recently when I opened my firefox browser, whenever it does not open the home page. Instead, it opens to the last page I was on until I closed out of the browser. I tried to reinstall firefox, and that has not changed anything. I use windows 7.
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.
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)
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
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.

Mail carrier arrives in a new tab instead of the home page
Recently I met a change when I open a new tab. Instead of the home page (as was the case previously) I get my carrier of electronic mail (e-mail) white page with an illustrated history of the last visited web sites. The statement tab in Windows should open new tabs with the home page and there is no problem that when you use Internet Explorer. Comments section Mozilla says to click on an icon of gear in the top right of the screen. There's no icon on my screen. How can I fix it? Thank you.
By the way... in case you meant a separate new window (Ctrl + n) instead of a new tab in the same window (Ctrl + t), which should follow the setting of your home page. No need to go in: config for this. See:
Add-ons can also override this setting, then see my comments on this in the previous answer if Firefox is ignorant of your homepage when you open a new window.

Why the home page back to the support page?
Standard firefox start page guard back to the mozilla support page after 2 seconds and I can't come back.
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.
- Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
- Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

When you open an external link, a new window opens and displays the home page
Updated to the latest version (36.0 Linux) and now whenever I open a link from an external application to be steam E-mail IRC or any other source, instead of the page is displayed a new window will open and then load the home page. I tried the default browser to something else (which opened the links correctly) switching and vice versa, safe mode and even a refresh, but the problem persists.
I found this in the bug tracker.
Apparently it seems to be a problem with an old hack in XFCE or desktop environments possible on X in general, which is no longer supported in Firefox 36. A solution fast until they solve this problem, is to open a new terminal and enter:
sudo gedit /usr/share/xfce4/helpers/firefox.desktop
(replace gedit by any other text editor you use)
.. .and change the last two lines:
X-XFCE-orders = %B - distance "openURL (about: Virgin, new window)"; %B;
X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter = %B - remote "openURL (%s)"; %B %s;
to read:
X-XFCE-orders = %B;
X-XFCE-CommandsWithParameter = B %%s;
then save the document, of course.This solves the problem for me immediately.

User is unable to change the home page when I put one in default mozilla.cfg
I have this in mozilla.cfg:
Pref ("browser.startup.homepage", "http://internal.intranet.tld");That of our intranet as a default home page. But it is not locked (I don't use lockPref()), so I want to allow a user to change the home page if he wants.
But it does not work. Change the home page is not saved.
Hi ohmer, you must use defaultPref() for the parameters that users should be able to change and have full control over - pref() allows to deviate from the default for the current session...

Thanks for the help
Do you mean that you are in the (library) Bookmarks Manager window?
You can close this window if you no longer need or use Alt + Tab to switch between open windows.
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) If you do not create this file yourself.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.
