I have clicked and dragged the icon a hundred times, and still when I click on Firefox a previously set up home page appears. This is very annoying because I can get to my homepage; but I have to sign on to yahoo e-mail every time; then go to my homepage and my bookmarks. I can't seem to get it to except the homepage I want to use..

If you want a customize Yahoo! page then make sure that you keep the Yahoo! cookies.

Such details are stored in a cookie.

  • Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.

  • In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
  • In Private Browsing - Use Firefox without saving history mode Firefox won't fill names and passwords automatically.
  • You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
  • To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
  • Uncheck: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.
