bkkmadness Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 Sting, I don't mean I want my starter page to be set at a certain website, I mean I have two Mozilla Browser settings on my computer. One is in my name and is personalised, with all the bookmarks in it that I have made over the months. And the other is just a plain google page with no bookmarks at all, the standard browser page you get when you first download it. Sometimes the computer seems to forget this and gives me a choice as to what I want set at 'default' so I choose my name and my browser comes up as I want it for a while. Then it goes again and resets back to the old browser and I lose my bookmarks until one day the box just appears again and I can set it properly. Its an old crappy computer and has a bit of a mind of its own. How do I get that box up so I can set the default as my name again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Mozilla Firefox is Tools>Options>General Tab. You can set your Homepage there. Is there not someting similar in Mozilla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, please browse back andread what you wrote, then assuming I am not a native speaker, nor I intimatly know you or your computer, you will easily understand that I asnwered the most accuratly I could to a very general and badly formulated question In the case of the very precise and rightly formalated question, I am affraid to be totaly useless. I use Mozilla (FF or Opera) only to test the cross browser compatibility of the javascript I create, or if the design still is the one asked to me (IE, FF and Opera have 3 different rendering engines, so a wrong style="position: " will render okie in IE (because a bug) but will be ugly in FF. Appart that I do not use FF 1) buy a new computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would seem to me when a case arises that you are prompted to choose which profile you want to use at startup, that this would indicate that you already have Mozilla running. There might not be a window that is visible, but I bet if you check your task manager that you would see something there. Btw, after updating to a newer version of Mozilla, I believe it always displays the Mozilla-default page first. If you click on the "Home" icon of the browser, it should take you to your preferred startup page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indifferent Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) You can force firefox to use a specific profile by using command line parameters. P "<profile name>" e.g firefox.exe -P "Joel User" or profile "<path>" e.g firefox.exe -profile "E:\myprofile" Modify your shortcut to use these. or if you want the profile manager to popup everytime you can use firefox.exe -ProfileManager Just for reference....
