How do I get rid of"Index of file:///C:/" as the opening page?

Every time Mozilla is opened, the following file is displayed: Index of file:///C:/ How can I get rid of it and set up a different homepage?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    How can I get rid of that irritating contact/favorites across the top of the home screen?

    Actually, that's not on the Home screen, it is on the multitasking or App Switcher view so only shows up when you enter that mode (so I'm not to clear as to why it is so "irritating", but whatever).
    Settings app > Mail,Contacts,Calendars > scroll down to CONTACTS section] > Show in App Switcher

    How can i get rid of those infuriating banners just beneath the Search window?

    Change your home page to a non-firefox one. If you want google as your home page, do the following:<br><br>
    #Go to google.com<br><br>
    #Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | General.<br><br>
    #Make sure it says "Show My Home Page" in the dropdown menu at the top and then click the button called "Use Current Pages".<br><br>
    I can't think what Mozilla is trying to achieve by displaying that childish junk.

  • FILES: how do I get rid of EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?

    I dropped my laptop and damaged the drive. My computer forensic friend salvaged specific files.
    Transfered to a FAT32 drive and then copied to Mac.
    Most of files are fine with the exception of some setings files that showed up as Unix executables. The few original files that I have to compare them to, show "Document" as the file "Kind" and the "open with" shows "none" in Get Info
    When I look at the contents of the files they look fine. How do I get rid of the EXEC status and set them to open with "none"?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    These are settings files for a set of .wav samples for an AU drum plug-in.

    If you have xcode installed, you might want to find out what the type and creator code for these files should be. Since the files have visited a FAT32 file sytem, you will have lost all resource forks as well as type and creator HFS+ meta data.
    So assuming you do have xcode, create a new AU drum plug-in file then in the terminal:
    <pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo newfile</pre>
    Then use:
    <pre style="padding-left: .75ex; padding-top: .25em; padding-bottom: .25em; margin-top: .5em; margin-bottom: .5em; margin-left: 1ex; max-width: 80ex; overflow: auto; font-size: 10px; font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; color: #444; background: #eee; line-height: normal">/Developer/Tools/SetFile -t '(insert type)' -c '(insert creator)' oldfile</pre>
    If there's a lot of these you might automate the process using the find command.

  • How do I get rid of annoying arcade game on new firefox start page?

    Most recent update of Firefox plays an annoying arcade-type game on the start page. How can I get rid of it?

    Heheh, it's Mozilla being cheerfully quirky on the Firefox page (you are talking about the Mozilla Firefox Start Page or "about:home", right?).
    If so, Mozilla will be changing it with another image in the future; I don't know when, though. For now, you have a few options:
    * Set Google/Bing/etc. as your homepage so that you won't see the Start Page when Firefox launches.
    * Use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/?src=userprofile Stylish] extension to remove the image.
    '''Using the Stylish Addon''':
    # Click the Stylish icon > Write new Style > For this URL (as seen in the first image below)
    # Create a style as seen in the second image (you can name it whatever you'd like, but <br> <code>#brandLogo {<br> &nbsp; visibility: hidden;<br>}</code> <br>must be kept. This makes the arcade game invisible. If you'd like to remove it altogether, swap <code>visibility:hidden;</code> with <code>display:none;</code>.
    Save your style. A few weeks later, you can check to see if the arcade game has been removed by Mozilla by disabling the Stylish style on the Start Page. I know it's not a straightforward fix, but it's the best I can do. :)
    I hope that helped you!
    ''If it did, please mark this answer as the solution so that others can find information on the forums quickly. Thanks!
    And of course, please post back if you need more help.

  • How do I get rid of "do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer"?

    I recently installed Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional and every time I open a PDF file that is stored on my computer, I get a pop-up that asks "Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer?".  How do I get rid of this?  I don't want to change my security settings, I just want to open pdf's without having to go through this step.
    I'm using Windows 7.

    Thanks for that good idea.  I checked the "properties" by right clicking on the AA8 icon and under "compatability" I noticed it had Windows XP (Service Pack 3).  Since I'm running Windows 7, I changed it to that and now I don't get that annoying pop-up!

  • How can I get rid of that row of icons below the bookmarks, which has Startnow on the left and Twitter on the right?

    I sought help among the available articles. I was informed that right clicking on a vacant part of the toolbar would give me the option to delete or hide it. Doesn't seem to work with this one. In fact, right clicking anywhere on this row isn't working. If I right click the "startnow" icon, it takes me to that page. I really don't want this toolbar, as it wastes my desk space. How do I get rid of it?

    Do you see that toolbar in View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options if the menu bar is hidden?
    Can you attach a screenshot?

    Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

  • Attempts to rebuild thumbnails did not work. How do I get rid of message "Updating thumbnails" every time I open iPhoto?

    After repairing and rebuilding the iPhoto libary/database, I attempted to rebuild the thumbnails on an older Mac Book (10.7.5) and iPhoto 9.0. I believe there was not enough disk space for this function. Now when I open iPhoto, I get the message "Updating thumbnails." I then need to hit "cancel" to open iPhoto, How can I get rid of the "Updating thmbnails" message?

    Basically none.
    That is the problem
    you need a minimum of 10GB of free space just for normal os - with little or none y0u risk damaging yoru iPhoto database and other important system components - you must make space immediately
    Exporting photos is not the solution - unless you can delete  some large files that are not needed The fastest way is to purchase an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended and move your iPhtoo library to it -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
    I would not put my iphoto library on a flash drive - and usually they are not formated correctly wso will nto even work

  • How do I get rid of a mystery file-less track playing on my project?

    I have a completed song on garageband using about 15 tracks. At some point in the song, for about 6 seconds, there an be heard the remnants of an earlier voice track that is no longer existent. And yet it plays it! And I can't get rid of it. I have gone thru every track and the sounds are not on any existent track. And yet it plays everytime I play (or export) the song. It's like a Garageband ghost. I found somebody else describing the same situation on these forums here, but no solution was offered. How can I get rid of these unwanted sounds?
    Thanks...

    On your PC, open up Computer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support.  Inside of this folder should be a file called SQLite3.dll.  Copy this file by right->clicking on it and choosing Copy.
    Then go back one folder so that you are again in the Apple folder.  Look for the Mobile Device Support folder.  Open it up and paste the file inside of it.

  • How do I get rid of all that junk that preceeds the message?

    All that junk that appears before the message in Mozilla Thunderbird is meaningless and of no interest to me. What's more, it gets included in any message that is forwarded to others. How can I get rid of it?

    From the Menu Bar select '''View-Headers-Normal'''
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.

  • How do you get you`re back ground to show on the hole page?

    how do you get you`re back ground to to show the hole pict. not just the top part of it?

    If you are referring to a persona then a persona only covers the use interface part with the toolbars and not the browser part that shows the web pages.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox
    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />
