By default, the Mozilla Firefox browser does not pamper its users with any sophisticated design solutions. The start page and the page of the new tab look very gray in it, without attracting too much attention. If you want the Firefox start page to literally play with new colors, then pay attention to such an extension as TabTrekker.
Immediately make a reservation that this module does not add to Firefox the analogue of the express panel from Opera or something like that. TabTrekker is intended to replace the service pages about: home and (or) about: newtab with something more beautiful and pleasing to the human eye. The extension is distributed, of course, absolutely free, a link to download it is at the end of the article.
The TabTrekker start page is organized as follows: in the center is the Google search bar with support for the search hints function:
In the lower right corner the current time is displayed:
Also, the weather in your city may be displayed there, but for this you must allow the extension to receive information about your location, just click the button in a pop-up message in the address bar:
The background image is automatically selected and during the day the pictures will change, showing the same city. In the next 24 hours, TabTrekker will show you beautiful views from another place. During the first acquaintance with TabTrekker, we came across two European cities.
You can also change the picture within one place manually, for which you should click on the "refresh" icon in the upper right corner:
During the first day, when the review was being prepared, TabTrekker showed various views of the French capital:
The grid icon in the same upper right corner hides a list of recently visited sites:
In turn, clicking on the gear icon will open the extension settings. TabTrekker does not have a lot of them, however, the most important options are present here.
First of all, the user can choose in what quality to use the TabTrekker page. It can replace the Firefox start page, the new tab page (where the site cells are located), and also replace both of them.
Below are the settings for displaying the search bar and the search plugin used on it. Finally, close the list of options for displaying menus and information about the image used.
By default, Firefox's start page is Google Search. Only when you click on the plus sign, that is, when you open a new tab in the browser, you get into the bookmarks bar, consisting of cells.

And how to make visual bookmarks a start page? (
Want to change the start page in Mozilla Firefox, but it does not change? Would you like to see the site you need on the main page? Next, we’ll talk about how to configure the browser as you wish.
The start (start) page is displayed immediately after starting the browser. On it you can see the home or blank page, as well as previously opened tabs.
To customize the Firefox start page to your taste with the resources built into Mozilla, open the menu in the upper right and go to the "Settings" section.
In the window that opens, make the “Basic” tab active and pay attention to the item “When Firefox starts”:
- Show homepage.
- Show blank page.
- Tabs opened last time.
The names speak for themselves, so we will not go into their description. For clarity, see the following figure.
After making the necessary changes, click OK for them to take effect.
There are other ways to customize the Mozilla Firefox start page - using add-ons, consider one of them.
A tool that displays a list of selected sites on the Mozilla Firefox start page. With its help, the customization of dives (visual bookmarks) and the change in the appearance of the browser interface are performed.
To install this add-on, go to the Mozilla menu and select the "Add-ons" section. Then open the “Get Extras” tab, in the search bar, type Speed \u200b\u200bDial FVD and press Enter.
There is a Speed \u200b\u200bDial extension, click the Install button and follow the prompts of Mozilla Firefox.
This is what the Mozilla Firefox start page might look like with the extension installed and configured.
The Mozilla home page opens in the browser after clicking the button with the “house” icon. It is used to quickly navigate to the desired site.
You can set up your homepage in Mozilla in two ways, both of which do not require the installation of any extensions. Let's consider them in order.
The first and easiest way is to drag an open tab onto the house icon, as shown in the following image.
Then, to set this page as the main one, confirm the action by clicking “Yes”.
The second way is through the Mozilla settings. Open your browser settings and go to the "General" tab, as was the case with the start page.
Near the inscription "Home page" you can enter your URL address or use the buttons below:
- Use current pages.
- Use bookmark.
- Restore to default.
Visually shown in the following picture.
Want to set up multiple home pages? Then open each of them in a separate tab, then in the settings click the "Use current pages" button. They will open on different tabs after clicking the "Home" button.
The home page does not change in Firefox - what should I do?
Sometimes Firefox settings do not change or are reset to the original ones, those that do not suit you. This can happen due to the software that you installed on third-party sites, programs that include the Firefox toolbar or viruses.
Remove someone else’s toolbar that changes Mozilla Firefox’s search and homepage
These recommendations are useful to users who want to remove the Ask, Utorrent, Somoto, SweetIM, seeearch, incredibar, searchqu, MyStart, and others toolbars. There are several solutions to this problem. First, consider the Firefox cleanup feature that resets the browser to factory settings.
In the address bar of the Mozilla Firefox browser, type the following command and press Enter: about: support. In the window that opens, click the "Clear Firefox" button.
Then confirm your intentions. This will remove your add-ons and changes made to the settings, the default values \u200b\u200bwill be restored, as if you started from scratch.
Firefox will close and the cleaning process will begin. Upon its completion, a window will appear with a report - a list of imported information. Click "Finish" and the browser will open.
Keep in mind this function will remove:
- The history of web surfing.
- Bookmarks
- Passwords
- Cookies
- Open windows and tab groups.
- Personal vocabulary.
- Information for automatically filling out forms.
- Extensions and themes.
- Download History
- Security Options
- Social functions.
Mozilla does not start - find the Firefox cleanup button in safe browser mode.
Attention! Do not confuse Firefox and Windows safe mode - these are two different things.
To start Mozilla in safe mode, press the Shift key and click on the Firefox shortcut, as in a normal start.
In the window that opens, click "Run in Safe Mode" or "Clean Firefox." The second button restores the default settings, click the first.
This will launch a browser with disabled extensions, hardware acceleration and reset toolbar settings.
Test Mozilla Firefox in safe mode. If your problem still makes itself felt, then it is not caused by extensions or the installed theme of the browser. Otherwise, when problems do not arise, they can be caused by extensions, the theme of the design of Mozilla, hardware acceleration.
To exit safe mode, close the browser and restart without the Shift key.
To disable hardware acceleration:
- Open the Mozilla menu and select the “Settings” section.
- Select the Advanced panel and the General tab in it.
- Uncheck the box next to "Use hardware acceleration if possible."
- Save your changes.
The problem is solved - it means that hardware acceleration is to blame. You can update the graphics drivers of your PC or launch a browser without this function.
To return to the original design theme:
- Open the Firefox menu and select "Add-ons."
- Click on the Appearance tab.
- Select a default theme and click Enable
- Restart your browser.
The problem is fixed - the reason is in the established topic, no - dig further.
To disable all extensions:
- Go to the Firefox menu - the “Add-ons” section.
- Select the Extensions panel.
- Disable all available extensions.
- Restart Firefox.
When the browser starts, the extensions will be disabled. Check if your problem makes itself felt. It is not - the matter is in extensions. Activate add-ons one at a time to identify the source of the problem. Found - delete or update the extension, due to which the search and the home page in Mozilla are changing.
Other solutions to the search problem and browser homepage
- Remove the browser from the computer, then download from the official download page and reinstall.
- Your computer may have installed malware or the hosts file has been modified.
- Go to the menu - “Settings” - “Protection” - “Exceptions”. Check to see if there are any sites you don’t need. If you find third-party addresses in the "Exceptions" - feel free to delete them.
- None of the above helped - check the properties of the shortcut for launching Mozilla, as described below.
Firefox start page does not change - how to fix it?
Does Mozilla Firefox start up incorrectly when the browser starts? Check the Mozilla label. Some programs can change its properties in such a way that after launching the browser, the page of a third-party application, affiliate program, or other website you do not need opens.
- Right-click on the Firefox shortcut and select “Properties”.
- On the tab "Label" in the field "Object" should be written only:
C: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ Mozilla Firefox \\ firefox.exe
and nothing else. Of course, if the browser was installed in a different directory than the default one, then the path will be different.
Return browser settings if they are not saved
The following guide to action may solve your problem when the Firefox page does not change and settings are not saved. There is nothing complicated in the steps described below, although some browser configuration files will have to be edited.
Some programs can force Firefox to use specific parameters, and you cannot change them in the usual way, like this:
- Creative ZenCast changes agent Firefox using Java. The solution is to uninstall Creative ZenCast.
- McAfee Antivirus Privacy Service disables (blocks) browser pop-ups. To disable pop-up blocking, open the Mazil menu - select "Settings" - the "Content" panel. Uncheck the box next to “Block pop-ups.”
- Norton 360 makes Firefox’s privacy privacy feature active, overriding browser privacy settings to prevent cookies, browsing history, and other personal data between sessions.
- Some third-party toolbars change the Mozilla homepage and search options. You can reset them with the special SearchReset add-on.
If you do not have the above programs installed, and your browser settings are not saved. Then you have to edit the configuration file User.js. This is nothing complicated. It is done like this.
- Open your profile folder by going to the browser menu and clicking on the help (icon with a question mark). On the tab that opens, select "Information for solving problems."
- On the next page, in the "Application Information" section, click on the "Show Folder" button.
- Close the Mozilla Firefox browser.
- In the folder that opens in step 3, find the user.js file and run Notepad in the text editor. If you do not have a user.js file, then these recommendations will not help you.
- Delete user.js lines with the settings that you want to change. You can delete all lines, then all settings will be changed.
- Save and close user.js.
- Launch the Mazila Firefox browser. Now the settings in it should change.
Perhaps, in your version of Firefox, a program configuration file has been added that blocks changes to some settings or prevents them from being saved. In this case, completely remove the browser from your computer and reinstall it.
If the steps described above do not solve your problem, and you constantly see the tab with the message Firefix updated when you start the program. Most likely, the file used by the browser to save the settings is damaged or blocked.
Solving the problem with a locked settings file:
- Open the folder with your profile. To do this, go to the browser menu and click on Help (icon with a question mark). In a new tab, click on "Information to solve the problem."
- In the "Application Information" section, find the "Show Folder" button and click it.
- Close the browser.
- In the folder that opens, find the file prefs.js, if so, then prefs.js.moztmp.
- Right-click on these files and go to their “Properties” in the context menu.
- Make sure that in the attributes of each of them there is no daw near “Read Only”. If necessary (correct) remove it.
- Delete all prefs-n.js files where a number is written instead of n, for example, prefs-1.js
- Locate and delete the Invalidprefs.js file.
- Restart the browser, now the settings should be saved.
The settings file is damaged, what should I do?
The settings file may be corrupted, it was already described above how to find it. Remove prefs.js, Mozilla Firefox will create another.
Attention! If you delete the prefs.js file, you will lose user preferences in many of its extensions.
Delete settings files:
- Find prefs.js and if there is prefs.js.moztmp, delete these files.
- Look for prefs-n.js files in the profile folder, where n is a number (for example, prefs-2.js).
- Remove Invalidprefs.js.
- Restart your browser.
If the above solutions to common problems with the browser are not clear to you. Then completely remove Mozilla from your computer and reinstall it from the official developers site.
Hello dear readers of the blog site. Nowadays it is difficult to find a user who would not use one of several browsers in daily work or at home. Be it a standard built-in operating system or a third-party installed by you. By the way, I prefer to use Google Chrome. And any work on the Internet begins with the launch of a program for surfing. The browser has two specific pages: one called “Home” and the second “Start”.
After launching, the Start page opens on the start page, and the Home opens after pressing the Home button (this button is disabled by default, in order to enable it, go to the settings and check the box “Show button“ in the “Appearance” settings) Main page ”). These two pages can be the same or different.
Very often, some programs use these pages for their own selfish purposes and prescribe during installation the address that opens when the browser starts. Very often they ask: “How to remove msn from the chrome start page”, MSN is the very program that registered its page instead of the standard one. This is very annoying and I want to change the start page to blank or necessary and useful for you as soon as possible. For each browser, the procedure for changing the start page is different. Below is a step-by-step guide for the most popular browsers.
How to change start page in google chrome
The Google Chrome browser offers three settings for the start page. At startup, you can:
