What is this page?-opening care

I have used Firefox for a long time, and I know going well in 'Options' and customize my home page to open every time I open FF or even a new tab. But lately I get an annoying page that says in the top right corner ' what's this page? In addition, the search engine on this page works again - when I click on search, nothing happens. I have to click the home button to get my home page every time. Boring. Any suggestions or corrections to this problem?

You can check for problems with preferences.

Delete possible user.js and files numbered prefs-# .js and rename (or delete) the file prefs.js to reset all the prefs by default, including the prefs set via user.js and pref which is no longer supported in the current version of Firefox.

You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • Bookmark this page opens a different drop-down list that saves not - why?

    I just reinstalled Win - XP Pro after a serious accident and had to reinstall Firefox as well. I just installed the last version upgrade and now absolutely nothing happens when I select "Bookmark this page" in the bookmarks dropdown.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Before I read them I had solved. Reinstalled Flash, then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox last. Since I was already naked - and reinstalled Firefox without improvement, I suspect that it's Flash that was the problem.

    A lot, I would like to know if this is the case.

  • How to customize Page tile (which is this page) to switch to a folder?

    I love how the Page tile seems characteristic ("what is this page"). But I rarely use it because it auto-remplit with URLS (more visited or recently) I've already sorted in my bookmarks in folders and in the bookmarks bar. I don't have a screenshot of the gmail login screen.

    What I really need, and that this feature would be great for, is to scroll through random piles and mounds of URLS I have in my folder of Unsorted Bookmarks. I just timed it and it takes me 18 seconds to scroll up and down.

    I wish I had this Unsorted Bookmarks folder fill the Page tile, [1] [2] so I can sort through them visually.

    [1]: even better would be a text field on the page where I could enter keywords!
    ([2]: even better yet, having this page shared between pills of my favorite keywords and the most recent that I can click on filter this population auto and screenshots of web page.)

    It seems that your XP hangs for some reason any...

    Why do we know almost nothing about your system (except a laptop with XP Pro)?  I know this isn't your fault...

    Please answer these questions and to implement the following:

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If there is a problem starting, XP is configured to automatically try to start again and you can stuck in a loop not being able to go beyond the screen boot options, or none of these startup options you choose will work only.

    Sometimes, when XP has a problem starting or falls down and tries to start again, it will give you a "short" menu of boot options and none of them will appear to be good to get your system going again.  You have tried them all!

    The options are similar to the Advanced Boot Options menu XP, but the only option that you need (disable automatic error system reboot) are not offered, because XP went too far during the boot process and offers a limited number of boot options.

    If this is the case, you must call Options menu advanced boot yourself until you do not see the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    When you get the XP Advanced Options correct start menu you want to see, he has options on it like these:

    Safe mode
    Safe mode with networking
    Safe mode with command prompt

    Enable Boot logging
    Enable VGA mode
    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)
    Directory Services Restore Mode (Windows domain controllers only)
    Debug mode
    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Start Windows normally
    Reset
    Return to OS Choices Menu

    You need to choose in this menu is the option:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Then if XP does not start normally, you will see an error screen with information and clues about the problem and then you can decide what to do next.

    If you do not see the automatic restart on system failure option turn it off, you must reset your system and start typing the key F8 on the keyboard until you see her disable automatic restart on system failure option.

    If you miss the window of opportunity F8, you must try again and start tapping the F8 key with more urgency (earlier and more frequently) until you see disable automatic restart on system failure, and then select.

    You must keep trying the F8 menu until you see disable automatic restart on system failure option, and select it.

    If your system has a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), we need to know what the screen says:

    Here's a BSOD example showing information you provide:

    http://TechRepublic.com.com/i/tr/downloads/images/bsod_a.jpg

    Send for the nose and the Red arrows (3 to 4 lines total).

    Send all * line STOP message since there are clues in the 4 parameters.

    If it looks like there is some kind of name listed in the STOP message file, send this line also.

    Ignore the boring text unless it seems important to you.  We know what a BSOD looks like, we need to know what your BSOD looks like.

    Answering queries and results report of the disable automatic restart on system failure screen and you can decide what to do next.
