993 How do I stop the Mozilla Tour page from coming up whenever I open my browser. Just want the home page

Whenever I open my browser I get a tab with my home page and a Mozilla tour sync etc tab. I don't want the Mozilla page.

Hi there,
Understood! We don't like being bombarded with advertising any more than you do.
If this is happening every time you open Firefox, it might be that Mozilla tab has also been set as your homepage.
To check this:
# Click the menu [[Image:New Fx Menu]] button, press ''Options''
# On the ''General'' page you'll a box labelled ''Home Page''
# If the Mozilla web address is included in that home page box, delete it.
Let us know if this fixes the issue. Cheers!

  • I intend to stick with Windows 2000. How can I stop the "URGENT !" nag from coming up whenever I open Firefox?

    I'm using Windows2000.. Some of my key software is not compatible Windows XP or 7 therefore I don't intend to upgrade or change. I just want to get rid of that damn "URGENT !! " popup nag that appears every time I access Firefox. I'm sure there are others that have the same problem. Is there a solution?

    You can disable or uninstall the Firefox Notification Hotfix 20120430.01 extension.

  • How can I stop iTunes in Windows 7 from coming to front when I am importing by inserting a CD?

    I've set iTunes (latest version as of this message) to "Import CD and eject" because I'm batch importing my CD collection.
    There's a delay of several seconds between when I insert a CD (after the last one was ejected) and when iTunes begins importing the songs from the new CD. Sometimes, for reasons I don't understand, iTunes pops to the front to show the import is working. This is annoying (esp. when batch importing and trying to do work inbetween CD swaps).
    Sometimes iTunes stays in the background and quietly imports, requesting to come to the front politely by blinking in the task bar. But sometimes it just pops up, while I'm typing an email (and my keystrokes seem to cancel the import). Anyone know how to keep iTunes polite? Maybe this is a Windows 7 bug?

    My apologies...the version is 11.1.4.62 not as stated aboive in my problem description.  I'm trying again and it just finished syncing fine and my iPhone 5 is still connected to iTuns physcially with USB lightening cable and is displaying the iPhone icon top right.  I clicked on it and iTunes is now "hung' or  locked up.  Shows to be an active running application but can't get back to it so willl have to kill with task manager.  There is some kind of problem going on with the latest version of iTunes and Wndows 7 and 8.1 or something.  My iPhone 5 now has a new feature that it is now asking me if I "Trust" this computer.  iTunes just came "unhung" after several minutes while I was typing this. Now I am going to start the backup to this computer HP Winsows 8.1 and iTune 11.1.4.62 and see what happens.  Says it is Backing up Jerrys iPhone but the Barber Pole progress bar is not turning an iTunes is hung again and I cant get back to it from this page I am typing on.  Maybe it will eventually release as it did a moment ago. 

  • How do I stop a weird dialogue box from popping up whenever there is a youtube video embedded on a page?

    Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I keep getting a dialogue box that asks me to choose an application or search the app store for some purportedly missing app to open whatever video is embedded on that page.  I can just click "cancel" to skip through it, but it really slows me down and is annoyingly unnecessary since videos continue to play in a normal fashion when I click on them.  I've tried uninstalling and trashing the components of Flash, but the dialogue boxes continue.  And I've also tried downloading and installing the latest version of Flash to see if that was the problem, but no success.  Anybody else experiencing this?  Clearly this was introduced by the latest OS X software upgrade, because this did not occur before that.

    I don't understand why I (not a power user) should have to go through this whole rigamarole since Apple is apparently the culprit in introducing this problem to my system, due to the upgrade to 10.10.3, but here it is:
    Problem description:
    Since upgrading to 10.10.3, I’m getting pop-up dialogue boxes on pages with embedded videos telling me that the app I need to view the video is missing and that I should search the MacApp store to find what I need (which is actually nothing at all).  I have to click cancel to continue and the videos can be viewed as normally.  This only started with the latest Mac version of OS X, and I blame the problem on Apple, which has apparently introduced some error into my system.

  • How do I stop the "Meet Mozilla Firefox" page from opening in a second tab when I launch my browser?

    Since the latest update, every time I open my Firefox browser, it opens two tabs. The first tab is a "Meet Mozilla Firefox" tab and the second is my Yahoo! homepage. How do I stop the meet mozilla tab from opening and only have my yahoo homepage open?

    Refer to this help article on [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page?s=home+page&r=0&as=s How to Setup the Home Page].
    If this still doesn't work, do the following:
    * in the address bar type "'''about:config'''";
    * click the button "I'll be careful I promise";
    * in the bar type "'''browser.startup.page'''";
    * right-click on it, and change the value to "'''0'''";
    * re-start your browser.
    Hope this helps.
    Edit: just changed formatting.

  • How do I stop the Firefox pop ups on the Firefox 4 homepage, now?

    I uploaded the new Firefox 4. My default page now just appears with non-stop pop-ups that ask me to be sent to various places to learn stuff. There seems to be no way to get rid of them. I will stop using Firefox altogether if I cannot.
    Here is a sample of text within the box. There are embedded links that take me to the site if I click. If this one does not pop up another one does. They seem endless. I don't want them.
    Take Firefox 4 anywhere you go! Firefox 4 for Android and Maemo is live and ready for you to enjoy. Get it now.
    I do not want it or anything else now! I just want a home page without demands. How do I get rid of these pop up boxes. Or should I just go to explorer. By the way, I went through the procedures to stop Firefox pop ups and it had no effect whatsoever and was unclear about how to fix the problem.
    Help! Thanks

    What the hell are you talking about? I have the same problem and this has nothing to do with malware or bad websites. I just upgraded to firefox 4, and everytime I reload google home page (house icon), mozilla posts and displays a stupid advertising message right below the google search bar (incorporated into google code page display). Message such as "Take Firefox 4 anywhere you go! Firefox 4 for Android and Maemo is live and ready for you to enjoy. Get it now - you like firefox 4? learn more etc...". Refresh google.com on f4 and you'll see them too. I don't know how you browse but you must have less sophisticated habits.
    This can get very aggravating for people that use very often the refresh icon in order to refresh or launch a new search, which makes more sense for me for a few reasons:
    I like to be looking at the center point of my screen and not on the little Google window on the top right. I'm not looking INTO my screen's corners. But INTO my screen.
    I very often refresh, almost in between every page since I do rarely navigates from one page to another, but usually launch my own search.
    I do a lot of searches. Image... text.. articles. Mostly worked-based.
    I have this habit and I am not going to drop it.
    Anyway.. Please drop the condescending "buddy" every two lines, and be assured that it is a Firefox problem. I have the same problem as drmiller333.
    Does anyone have found a way to stop this?
    Does it stops after a few days?
    I just downgraded back to firefox 3.6. I would like to benefit the new engine and updates coming with f4 but I won't as long as Mozilla keeps posting those aggravating messages. I don't give a f... about "android, maemo" or "how to learn more about how awesome is mozilla".
    I may move to chrome is they don't do something for it.

  • How can I stop the E:/ folder from popping up?

    I would like to know how I can stop the E:/ folder from popping up everytime I perform an action e.g. transfering songs, and deleting songs from library.

    This is likely due to an extension. For example, the Web Developer extension has a setting to open the error console, and some mouse gesture extensions have been known to open the error console.
    To track down what extension is causing this for you, follow the procedure in this link - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

  • How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are in the same account because its sharing every thing even text messages

    How can I stop the sharing on the iPhones that are on my account because its sharing everything even text messages and its driving everybody crazy

    An icloud account is designed to be used by one user to keep his/her devices in sync. 
    If you have muitiple family members or friends using the same account as yours, then have them get their own Apple IDs and icloud accounts.
    If you mean you want to stop the sharing between all your devices, then on any one device, go to Settings>icloud and turn off the services you don't want that device to share/sync.  Or turn off icloud altogether if that's what you want.

  • How do I stop the Finder from seeing SMB (Windows) shares on the network?

    I have the OPPOSITE problem most people have -- Windows Sharing works TOO WELL.
    I've donated a refurbished eMac to the local homeless shelter. I figured I'd made the system secure, and prevented any monkey business. Turns out the windows machines on the network are COMPLETELY insecure (guest access to everything is enabled). The problem is that the Mac is TOO friendly -- it automatically connects to the server as a guest, and happily presents everything to the user.
    I've tried a dozen different things (I've removed the 'Shared' section from the sidebar in the Finder windows (Go->Network is still there, Doh.), tried to turn off File Sharing, and even disabled the mount_smbfs command in the /sbin directory with "chmod 0 mount_smbfs".)
    I've asked the folks there to call in a PC tech and fix their security problem -- but it's a good question to which I've found no suitable answer... How to I stop the Mac from connecting to SMB Shares on the local network?
    Thanks.
    -JD.

    Same problem, keep getting a pop up with connection failed you do not have permission to access the server. The server is a windows 7 box, Starting happening after an up grade to windows 7. Nowhere can I find how to stop trying to connect. I am sure its at the unix level of samba but what to do is another question

  • How do I stop the message "user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2 times in a row when i try to get mail from other accounts? thank you in advance

    How do I stop the message "Cannot get mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect" from popping up 2-4 times consecutively every time I choose MAIL on my iPhone 4,  7.1.1  I have to select "OK" 2-4 times each time before I can read other email accounts.  I used to have an "@me.com" account which I think was automatically changed to an "@icloud.com account."  I opened a new iCloud.com account yesterday because I could not figure out how to get in the old ones.  I want to delete the original @me & original iCloud account.  When I try to delete the account, they tell me my DOB is wrong. I just want those pop ups to stop.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Suzanne,
    It sounds like you’re running into a password issue with an older Apple ID that’s setup on your iPhone, which is preventing you from removing an iCloud account from your device. Take a look at the article linked below, it outlines all of the possible ways to change an Apple ID password.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    After you enter your Apple ID, there are three ways you can change your password:
    Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
    Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
    Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
    So long,
    -Jason
