A website calles allgameshome is set as my homepage everytime I open Firefox and it happens even after I change my homepage to another in options.
Once I installed a game and it asked me to change my homepage to AllGamesHome.com and my default search engine to AllGames Home search,and I accepted it but now I can't change it to any other even if I do it under options of tools menu it gets changed back to AllgamesHome when I restart firefox.
If you have the AllGamesHome toolbar, see how to uninstall it:
http://www.allgameshome.com/how_to_uninstall/
''if this does not solve the problem ''
type in the address bar '''about:config'''
then press the button '''i'll be careful i promise'''
then type in the bar '''keyword.URL'''
then right-click on it, select modify, and put
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&q= (copied from here)
click OK, exit firefox and restart-it.

The problem occurs on every opening of the Home Page, either on opening Firefox or opening a new tab with the home page. Link is: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
By the way, what is the getplusadobe16287 plug-in for?Solved it. Turns out that when I set my homepage, I inadvertently set myself 2 home pages. By going into "Options", on the General tab, I simply deleted the second home page. Figure I'll work out what the plugin is as well.

after a system restart, when I open Firefox, a new tab appears with My Yahoo displayed. I have my options set to restore session/tabs, with my home page listed as blank [not the best, i know]. I have not installed any new programs, other than Norton, to 2010 and have only done updates as required.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== recently...I usually only shut down for reboots.If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later or [[Clearing private data|Clear Private Data]] in Firefox 3 to clear the 'Browsing History' when Firefox is closed then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

I have tried uninstalling & installing firefox and it still won't let me open any websites. I have used firefox for a long time and it has worked great. I did recently install Office 360, but firefox worked after it was installed. Any ideas?
Which version of Firefox are you using ?
Firefox has implemented a new, faster way of loading webpages in Version 33. This new feature is called [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Platform/GFX/OffMainThreadCompositing OMTC]. If you are experiencing black or blank webpages when you start Firefox or on some sites, you should update Firefox. Mozilla has released an updated version that fixes the problem.
If you are in Firefox and can see your menus, you can [[update Firefox to the latest version|update Firefox from the Help menu]]:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''About Firefox''.
If you can't use the Firefox menus, you can go to [https://www.mozilla.org www.mozilla.org] using Internet Explorer or another browser to download and install the latest version.
See [[Firefox shows a black screen or blank screen after updating to 33]] for more information.
Please let us know if this solves the problem.
Thank you! -
its only my account on my laptop that does this.
my boyfriend's account allows him to open firefox browser and it goes right to his facebook without him having to sign in everytime.
not just that website, hotmail, google, they all work for his and not mine. all of the system settings are exactly the same. I've examined every setting I have access to and I can't tell what's wrong.Try changing your startup option to your home page or a blank tab here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > General > "When Firefox starts" -
Under Options I have selected "Firefox will never remember my history." Nevertheless, even after I have closed my browser and restarted my computer, Firefox does remember my browsing history. If I "clear all current history" it gets wiped out, but all browsing after that is remembered and is visible in "show all history" and when I open a new tab and there is a tiled display of previous websites visited. Is it not enough to say "never remember history?" Is there something else I need to do to not have this information saved?
P.S. I do have Firefox sync and one other device, a smart phone. Do I have to adjust settings in the browser on that? It doesn't seem to offer the same options.That is weird as you seem to be running Firefox in Private Browsing mode:
*browser.privatebrowsing.autostart: True
Does this only happen after you reboot the computer or also if you reopen Firefox immediately?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505, and I use Kaspersky Internet Security. The past week, I've had problems opening Firefox - it has been slow. Today, it just won't open at all. At first I thought it was my Internet connection, so I called my provider, Comcast Cable. But I was also able to open Internet Explorer. I was told that I may have to remove Firefox, and redownload it, but it would erase all my bookmarks. How can I access Firefox and save my bookmarks?
Try starting Firefox in Safe Mode (Firefox Safe Mode, not Windows Safe Mode).
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check out this article:
[http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode]. Be careful not to "reset" anything permanently if you didn't back up.
To export bookmarks to an HTML file that IE and other browsers can read, see [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file Exporting bookmarks to an HTML file | How to | Firefox Help].
Any luck? -
Can't set Firefox as default browser even after following steps in Firefox support
Can't set Firefox as my default browser even after following the steps outlined in Firefox support. Operating Firefox on Snow Leopard with Windows 7 running under Parallels. Clicking on links in emails, etc. always opens IE 8 in Windows instead of Firefox on the Mac
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a week agoI had the same problem, I just forgot how to fix it. I did it once a while ago but just recently the problem had returned. The first link in vineelreddyp's post solved the problem for me.
Just as an FYI for people, when OSX does software updates it includes Safari updates. When it completes a Safari update it resets all the Safari settings (they recently upgraded to Safari 5.0), including default browser.
So anyway, FYI about that. ;-) -
I set and want my home page to be my school website, "northbranch.k12.mn.us" I have gone to option and set it as my home page. Everytime I start up the computer and start up firefox, i get a conduit search engine with Bing. How can I get rid of this permanently and have my school website come up as the stratup window?
hello tomterrimort, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

Dear Sir/Madam Since the wifi is not coming ON how can I open this diagnostic on the iphone 4S am using and having problem with wifi behaving in erratic manner.
Am a professional engineer for projects and am 68 yrs old. At one time was looking after a production line manufacturing I C's in semiconductors manufacturing company of the US.
Have four apple products, one hp laptop and one DELL professional computer at home is used by only two members me and my wife.
Wife prefers working on ipad2 or ipad mini while traveling and has iphone 4. Am using iphone4S with laptop and Dell computer, No apple product is more than two years old.
Am having the problem in using wifi on the 4S after it was upgraded to the latest ios as per the recommendation by your software of my iphone 4S
The wifi card hangs up at it's own will and even a visit to your authorized service center in Delhi has not able to help me although they have reverted the ios back to the
one supplied with the set. Am a user and not a computer expert but it looks like the wifi card is not able to some times take the load while working which could indicate the wifi card is getting heated up.
My daughter who is Masters in 3D Animation is an ardent fan of apple products working at present in Canada was also gifted by me a 4S about 4 months back. My daughter-in-law is using iphone4 and an ipad for her professional works along with a Dell PC in the US. While my son is a fan of samsung products and does not like an apple product.
So in a family we have 7 apple products except MAC laptop/PC.
But the fact is, this problem with 4S has really shaken me up and now it seems your products are deteriorating in quality while demanding the best pricing structures.
Since this is purely the device and the software of apple problem you may please replace this set with new one as neither have any time to push you/ request you after your service centre
in Delhi told me yesterday this cannot be repaired.
The serial No of my set is DN*****TC0 and was bought from an authorized dealer and so were the other products from the same dealer in Delhi. This set is still in showroom condition and
was never used without a protective cover.
Thanks

I am starting to get tired of not being able to use my Firefox web browser because everytime I do, it either opens and doesn't respond or it opens but it doesn't let me access any website or even my bookmarks.
I am having to use Google Chrome (which I do not like) but I can't update anything because I am not using Firefox or Internet Explorer.Hi akadeejay,
probably your Internet security software (firewall or/and antivirus, antispyware) preventing Firefox from connecting to internet, see:

I have a 27" iMac when I open Safari the web page is only 1/3 the size of the full screen Safari window. I know how to ZOOM in on the web page! My question is, How do I keep this ZOOM setting for all web pages and each time I open Safari up?
Sorry, but that's not possible.
An alternative might be to use Zoom in System Preferences > Accessibility
Or try a different screen resolutioin in System Preferences > Displays > Scaled
