Google/Firefox
 

for the past god knows how many years i've always used Firefox on both my desktop and my laptops, i came to open up firefox yesterday and got this 'No site configured at this address' instead of my usual Google homepage.

It's not stopping me doing anything on my lappy but it's piggin annoying, i've uninstalled firefox and re-installed it, anyone any ideas as to what i can do to get my google back? i've even tried putting google as my homepage again to no avail, it's looking like i have no homepage at all

Re: Google/Firefox
 

Why on Earth do you want Google as your homepage? Your home page should be AccyWeb!
:D

Re: Google/Firefox
 

well yeah, there's no need to google owt when you have accyweb for info is there ;)

Re: Google/Firefox
 

I use Google for my home page

Re: Google/Firefox
 

have you tried
prefrences/advanced/network clear cache ?

Re: Google/Firefox
 

how do i get to that Rob?

Re: Google/Firefox
 

edit/prefrences/advanced/network clear cache ?

Re: Google/Firefox
 

but where is this 'edit'? the one at the top of my page doesn't show preferences

Re: Google/Firefox
 

What version are you on. I will just boot windows up... im using ubuntu12.04

Re: Google/Firefox
 

it's firefox that is coming up with 'No site configured at this address '

Re: Google/Firefox
 

I mean are you on version 15? Im just installing now. I think the settings are in a different place.

Re: Google/Firefox
 

Ok you have a little orange box that says firefox?

Click that. Press options then options/advanced/Network/Clear now

Soz about that. ubuntu is still on an older version of FF

Also under General in options make sure in homepage it says www.google.co.uk or .com if you prefer. And there is a choice what happens when firefox starts

Re: Google/Firefox
 

where's this little orange box?

Re: Google/Firefox
 

top left corner?

Re: Google/Firefox
 

:( not got one

Re: Google/Firefox
 

There is an option to change from the orangebox. What have you got?

Re: Google/Firefox
 

right i think i've done it....through 'tools'


thankyou

Re: Google/Firefox
 

When I change the option I now get
File Edit View History etc

They have now put the option under tools/options

Re: Google/Firefox
 

lol, thats what i thought and what i did

Re: Google/Firefox
 

Its because you reinstall but the options are still there in hidden config folders. Reinstalling doesn't change them ;) At least I don't think so. So instead of the orange box you have the menu bar :D

Re: Google/Firefox
 

So let us know if clearing cache worked

Re: Google/Firefox
 

yes i have, file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help

i did it through tools and it's back on now, what did i do to take the google page away in the first place? i only re-installed to try and get it back

Re: Google/Firefox
 

and yes, the 'clear now' thing did work, thankyou very kindly sir

Re: Google/Firefox
 

Great. :)
