Why does Yahoo open when I pick a category in Firefox?

Say I type "Macys" in the search box. What comes up is Yahoo that gives all the listings for "Macys".
This happens for any category I place in the search box.
This hasn't happened before. What's up?

You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.

Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

Mail failing to open when I click on its icon

In the Dock?
Try Applications/Mail and see if Mail will open. If so, the Dock alias is corrupt. Command - click and hold and drag it from the Dock until you see a puff of 'smoke'. Then drag the copy from the Applications folder to the Dock to create a new alias.

When I click for a new tab, the homepage is Search Yahoo...I never changed it to that. And I don't know how to get it back to Google. Help? Please!

But when i open up Firefox, it does bring me to the firefox start up page, but if I click for a new tab it brings me to Search Yahoo

Firefox's behavior is to open a blank page when you open a new tab. Your issue is most likely caused by one of the add-ons you have. Please see here: [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

My address book does not open when I click on the "To" bar in an email.

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 4.1.0. Since that time my address book does not open when I try to address an email from the "To" or other lines. I have to manually open the address book and cut and paste the address. How can I reconnect the address book to the email program?

Thank you. You solved my problem. I appreciate it.

Why does Mozilla open when I open a Tiff file in Photoshop?

Ever since I started using Photoshop CS5 in 64-bit, I noticed that every time I double click to open a .TIFF file in Bridge, Firefox opens and puts the image file name in the address bar. Photoshop continues to open also, but why is Firefox opening? I have already changed in the Tools>Options>Applications so that image/tiff files open in PS CS5. So why does Firefox open?

What's the file association set to for the TIFF extension in the Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types ?

Why does subVI open when a VI is run without highlighting execution

When running the VI Proc Recipe Array without highlighting execution the subVI VPTS Proc Cmnd gets a green arrow over its icon and opens. I want to run the main VI without opening any of the subs. Why does that subVI open? All sub are in the attached LIB file and the test file needed is also attached. You should place the input file in the C:\VPTS\Recipe folder.
Attachments:
Vacuum_Pump_subVI.llb ‏949 KB
test_rcp_011402.txt ‏3 KB

This is because the SubVI VPTS Proc Cmnd has an option "Suspend when called".
To cancel this
1.open the subVI,
2.click with the right mouse button on the subVI icon in the up-right corner of the window,
3.select "VI properties...",
4.choose category - Execution
5.and uncheck the option "Suspend when called".
Good luck.

Why does iMessage open when I"m chatting in google?

Why does the login to iMessage window open up when I'm chatting through gmail?

Hi,
By default the first thing the Messages app asks you to do is enter an Apple ID to use for the iMessages account.
You can ignore this and use the set up to add other accounts (or use the System Preferences > Internet Accounts to enable them).
If it is not already, I would go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and in the iMessages account untick the box for "Enable this Account" even if it does not have an Apple ID.

HT5361 Why does Mail close when I click on a link in a message?

I have a brand new iMac 21.5 inch desktop model.
When I click on any link in Mail, it takes me to Safari, but when I've finished reading, I have to open Mail again every time.
It seems to work like an iPad.
Why can't Mail window stay open?
Is it impossible to have more than one window open at a time on the desktop?
Very frustrating.

Firefox does not open when i click on the icon or menu path

when i click on the desktop icon or go through the menu path to open firefox, the computer will run it but nothing appears. apparently, firefox is still running in the background but i cant get to it. so whenever i try to edit another program that involves firefox, i have to go to the task manager to manually shut it down.
i tried running it in safemode but it does the same thing. furthermore, i deleted the whole program and reinstalled it hoping that that might fix the problem. however that did not work, i have searched all the offered support and have come up dry.
i am running the current firefox version and i am using a windows 7 professional operating system

Hi,
It could be that a security software installed in the system is blocking the new updated Firefox executable. You may have to go into the settings of the security software to re-trust Firefox.
Please also check if you are able to start Firefox by browsing to the Firefox installation folder ('''Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\''' or '''Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\''' ) and clicking '''firefox'''.

The OE New Message box does not open when I click on an email address in Firefox. This is not a problem when I use MS Explorer. How can I fix it?

OE is set as my default email in both Firefox and Windows XP. When I click on an email address on a website within Firefox the OE page comes up but the OE New Message window does not open. When I go to the same webpage using MS Explorer and click on the same email the OE New message does open. Is there a bud in Firefox that prevents the OE New Message from opening? Is there a way I can fix it?
