Why do I get three windows when I open Firefox instead of the unique homepage, I had put in place?

I used to get a single tab, my Google homepage when I launched Firefox. Then one day I downloaded Google Chrome because I had trouble running an application. After that, when I launch Firefox, I get three tabs, a Gmail, a Home Page of Google and a browser that reads chrome://browser/content/newtab/newTab.xul - also, I get spammed like crazy and I was not before. I have my active spam blocker. I also downloaded a few flip something because I fell for the pop-up ad that said it would speed up my download speed. I have since uninstalled Google Chrome and I thought the flip thing, but I still get three launch windows and too many spam.

Strange, since Google shouldn't do that. Maybe it was an installer bundled masquerading as official?

To start your cleaning efforts, please check your home page settings. Do you get the 3 tabs when you press command + n to start a new window? If so, the additional URLS can be added to your home page in the Preferences dialog box. These articles describe where to find that. Notes that it can be difficult to see all the details of this area due to the limited space available, so often it is easier to delete everything and paste the desired URL.

Then please check your extensions, as they can override your settings. I suggest disable all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

  • Command + shift + a
  • Tools menu > Modules

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off. (Or so obviously bad, delete).

Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

Any improvement?

    Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update. I don't want to restore but it appears every time instead of my homepage as shown

    A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

    Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

  • When I open Thunderbird, instead of the folder Inbox etc, it shows an open email immediately. If I close that e-mail, another opens after him.

    When I open thunderbird, it goes momentarily past display Inbox etc., directly to the opening of an email. When I close this e-mail, he opens another. And so on. Is there a setting that causes this? Or is this a bug? I can't go back to the screen where I can go to Inbox, sent, drafts, or trash. Why? I looked everywhere and cannot find a setting which solves this problem. What could bring it and what can I do about it?
    Please, I beg you!

    Looks like you had several messages open during your last closed Thunderbird. Thunderbird opens just as you closed. Make it a habit to close the messages after they are read.

    Right click on one of the message tabs opened at the top of the screen and choose close other tabs. Then use the x in the last tab to close it.

  • by clicking on the http links in windows mail will open word instead of the browser

    How can I replace a block if no information bar?

    When I click on links HTTP in a Windows Mail message opens a Word document. Windows Mail help seems to indicate that the link is blocked because it may be phishing and that the solution is to click on the link and type unlock in the InfoBar. I don't see an information bar. It started recently, so I think that I have installed a phishing filter updated. Can I remove the offending filter or?

    IE9 is blocking the information bar if you want to see it, and then open the message in a separate window and it will appear again or uninstall IE9.  As for opening Word instead of IE, go to the control panel. Default programs | Associate a file type or Protocol with a program, press page down to the HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and set IE as default.

  • Why do I get this message when I try to return to the previous page? "object moved here."

    It's so boring. I use ancestry.com a lot and after I watch a census or a person on ancestry.com, I try to use the left arrow to return to the page that I started on the screen turns white and it says "object moved here." "Here" is a link, but it does not work for me back to the page I want. I have to use the arrow back several times and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, so I lift all over again. It's so boring!

    It's probably a problem with the site and you will have to contact them and ask them to fix it. But a link to a public page where it happens and allows us to reproduce the problem can be useful.

  • I want to frequently visited sites appears when I open Firefox, instead it shows a blank page.

    When Firefox starts first of all, I have my home page the value: newtab. When loading, it loads a blank page. However, when I click on the new tab, a page with all of my frequently visited sites appears.

    I want the site visited freq tiles is displayed on my homepage. Is this possible?

    Hi, please go to Options (gear) - in the bar of 3 menu unless you have moved. Then in the general tab, make sure that 'When Firefox starts' is set to "Show my homepage." Also make sure that the 'Home Page' is defined on on: newtab and then restart Firefox.

    Hope that helps.

  • When I open Firefox I overload my profile. I uninstalled it and reinstalled on my external hard drive. When I open Firefox it recreated the ideas of folderAny how do I change the setting so that this folder is in my hard drive

    most of the information is in my question. My profile on my home computer is limited. I would like to set up Firefox so it puts the profile and any other information on my external hard drive. I tried all of the optional parameters, but have not been able to solve the problem

    You can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile, then click on the button choose to set the location of this profile on the other disk. You must specify a new (empty) location for this profile because Firefox uses the specified location and does not create a new folder. This allows you to specify an already existing profile on this player and Firefox it will use.

  • Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the latest version in the help - about Firefox said I do?

    There are / were three problems:
    1. why, when I open Firefox 9.01 this I get a message that I don't have the most recent when version help > on Firefox said I do?
    2 also, with version 8 of xx, I was unable to open a new window with a right-click, until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I'm curious).
    3 when I tried to uninstall the old version of the uninstall program told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

    1. you are using the latest version which is Firefox version 9.0.1

    From your description, it seems that if you still have the old start page for Firefox http://www.google.com/firefox hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default home page is no longer used as topic: Home is in use since Firefox 4.0

    Ignore the message, change the homepage of topic: Home, replace it with another page or leave blank.

    You can try Firefox in Safe Mode to see if the problem goes away. I think that it is an extension.
