When Firefox starts, it opens one page other than what I set preferences - general - startup to do.

When I connected to Ubuntu like "Bob" Firefox shows www.bob.com at startup. When I connected to Ubuntu as an "other" Firefox shows www.another.com. "Show my windows and tabs from last time ' works but shows www.bob.com in an extra tab. Home page is not changed. 'Show my home page' works well too, but the www.bob.com present in an additional tab.

User Agent

Mozilla/5.0 (X 11; U; Linux i686; en-US; RV:1.9.2.6) Gecko/20100630 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.6.6

Check the shortcut command line to see if it has a correct setting.
I have this command: / usr/lib/firefox/firefox %u
You can try to delete all the other switches and controls and leave only the path to Firefox.

  • Why Firefox frequently redirect me to sites other than what I'm asking? Sometimes vaguely similar to what I want but not usually apparent.

    I ask a site, same one I frequently go and I am sent to another place. I go back and try again, but it may take 3 or 4 tries, then I learned that the session has expired. I close Firefox and start over, but I'm not always successfully and may have the same problem. This does not happen every time, but often enough also to be very frustrating.

    The detected forum software your Firefox in version 12. Is this correct?

    Version 12 is not safe; Mozilla reveals security flaws after each new version. Is something holding you upgrade to Firefox 23? Please let us know if we can offer you solutions or workarounds.

    If help > about Firefox shows Firefox 23.0.1, you may need to disable the preference that is misrepresentation of your version number. See: sites say that Firefox is obsolete or incompatible, even if it's the latest version.

  • How fix oblivion previously opened tabs when Firefox starts by clicking on a link in an external application?

    Hello, I have the boot option: "show my windows and tabs from last time" activated. Works fine, except when Firefox starts when I click on a link in an external application (typically Thunderbird). Then, the new link is opened in a new tab, Firefox remembers the number of tabs I had open when I finally closed it, but all of the 'old' tabs are empty. Somehow fix this behavior?

    Deactivation of the modules does not help. By clicking on a link in an external application when Firefox is already open works OK. I use Firefox for some time short (probably half a year) and this problem was still there (not that is not due to a new update).

    Thank you.

    If Firefox is closed, and an external link opens Firefox, you must go to history > recently closed tabs and open tabs before closing Firefox. If you don't 'last session' will be gone and only one page than the open external program will be the new "previous session."

    If this is not satisfactory, you will need to install an extension of type "session manager" as well as "the last sitting" remember only.

    Search for AMO "session manager".

  • Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my entry from google line.please help.tks

    Hello. I installed the latest update of Firefox and when I start a new tab page displays not now my google input line. I use Windows 10. Until the recent update (v4.1.01) each time I started a new tab the new page would show the google search entry line which is my default. Can help you to restore this feature? TKS

    Hi, 41 of Firefox, you must use the add-on 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.

    Notice, 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.

  • How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

    How is it when I try to open one of my favorte often visited Web sites I get a blank page with only the word 'false' in the upper left?

    This just started happening the last two days.  I tried to add the url to my list to activate in Internet Options, also to accept the list for windows firewall. I rebooted and restored.

    It is annoying when I can't access Web sites on my PC.  There is no control parenting, nor is it a reason to be since I'm 57 years old, single, live alone and have no children, and not to mention that this isn't a single adult site. This is an auction site.  The same thing happens on a site of sports too.

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities.

    I understand how it could be frustrating when things do not work as expected. Please, I beg you, don't worry I'll try my best to resolve the issue.

  • In version 13.0 is selected the option "when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time", but I always get default page of Firefox.

    Even thought is selected the option ' when Firefox starts to show my windows and tabs from last time "I always have the default page of Firefox.

    Hi Goldie_,

    I guess you don't watch this page when you closed Firefox last time. Also that you are not in private, correct navigation mode? Looks like it is maybe a problem with Firefox being able to save your file pref.js. You should try the steps listed in the preferences section that won't save trouble. Try and let me know how it goes.

    Hope this helps!

  • Have just bought a new iMac and imported all my old data.  When I try to open a pages document it says that it cannot be opened because it is too old, and that to open it, I have to save it with Pages ' 09 first.  So, how he back up if I can't open it?

    Start the OS X App Store, then click on the item toolbar updates. V5.6.1 pages should be available, and this will open documents Pages ' 09, ' 08 and ' 06. In messages to this community, you should always share what version specific pages and OS X that you are currently using.

  • When I try to open the pages or numbers on my iMac I get "new version required.

    When I try to open the pages or numbers on my iMac so that I get "new version required" open documents saved I must login to iCloud and open from there. Why? These same documents are readily available on my iPad. I bought both programs and all updates are current. Not very happy with this complicated route I take to work on a document

    Any suggestions

    < re-titled by host >

    You attempted to open a document v5 of Pages via the file picker Pages ' 09. Exit Pages ' 09 and then double-click on the same document to open it in Pages v5. You will not have this problem on iOS, because iOS Pages or Pages for iCloud open the two versions of the documents.
