isteve Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Go to the page you want to make your start up page and highligh and drag or drag the favicon to the home icon in the firefox tool bar. Or tools > option > Main set option and click use current page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

flashh4 Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Howdy garmanma, naw it was my computer. I only use FF for mostly checking HJT logs, so only had it so it started with the FF start (search) page. But its working right now. Thought there might be a way to lock it but can't find nothing on it, but at least i know how to fix if ti happens again !Thanks for replying !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garmanma Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I don't remember if it was a pop-up blocker or a scan program. I think it was Spybot S&D (don't use it much anymore) that had the option to lock your homepage when you were setting it upMark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1986 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Spybot S&D can only perform that "Lock homepage" for Internet Explorer, not Firefox.You can lock your settings so they cannot be changed except by you by meddling with about:config. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
