After dowloading Mozilla Firefox, I get nothing but a google search bar when I try to open Firefox

What details? My problem is that I do not have a home page as such; I have nothing but a google search bar. Can I uninstall; reinstall without the google thing?

'''about:home''' is the new Firefox 4 homepage, and all it really has is the Search Container, of which Google is the default. It is very easy to set your choice of a homepage or to set the old Firefox Start Page which was this: http://www.google.com/firefox

    How do get rid of the google search box when I first open Firefox?

    Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named <b>about:home</b> with a Google search bar on it.
    That about:home page only shows some snippets and has a button to restore the previous session if applicable.
    If you want a home page with extras then set another page as the home page like www.google.com as used in Firefox 3 versions.

    I receive the error "this apple id is valid but not an icloud account" when I try to open icloud on my pc. Help.

    Music purchased from the iTunes Store is automatically available in iCloud.  This is "iTunes in the Cloud" and does not require an iCloud account.  The music is stored in the iTunes Store, not in a personal iCloud account.
    If you don't have any Apple devices you will not be able to create an account.  It wouldn't be any value to you anyway as it syncs data on you computer with your Apple devices. If you don't have any, there is nothing to sync.

  • Free cd/dvd burner for mac os 10.7 - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said  can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?

    - the version i have is roxio toast but in os10.7.5 when i try to open app - it said  can't open app because powerpc apps arent supported ?
    is there a free app download to burn cd/dvd for os10.7?

    Depending on what type of CD/DVD you intend to burn, you may not need any 3rd party applications:
    - To burn data CDs or DVDs simply insert a blank disc, drag files to the empty FInder window that represents the disc, then click the burn button (I think t appears near the top of the finder window).
    - To burn music CDs just use iTunes
    - To create disk images from a CD or DVD use Disk Utility.  To burn .iso or .cdr images to disc use Disk Utility.
    About the only type of disc burning that you may need a 3rd party application for is to create a DVD movie (iDVD used to do this but no longer a supported app).  I haven't ever needed anything outside of the built-in capabilities of OS X when it comes to burnig CD or DVD media.  One suggestion is to make sure to remove all of the Roxio software so that it doesn't interfere with the built-in OS X capabilities.
    Hope this heps.

  • Get rid of the google search bar??

    I want net neutrality. Google must go. I loaded Firefox on windows-xp and the Google search bar still comes up within Firefox. How do I GET RID OF GOOGLE??
    I have used Firefox on Linux also on the same machine.

    webgrunt, this thread posted about a year ago.
    The Search bar is a not a Google search bar but rather it just had Google selected as the search engine at time.

  • I am getting no HTTP proxy not supported error when I try to open HBOGo App on my iPad

    When I try to open my HBOGo or MaxGo apps on my iPad, I am getting an error that states "Your current HTTP proxy is not supported by this application.  Plese remove it from your Wi-Fi settings to enable video playback".  I have reset the iPad, deleted and reinstalled the Apps, synced my iPad.  My Wi-Fi settings are defaulted to off.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    To all that are getting the http proxy message when trying to view hbogo, Deggie has the right answer: go to wifi settings, when you find your wireless connection tap the arrow on the right and if proxy is on "auto" switch it to "off." I had been watching hbo go just fine then suddenly I got this message about http proxy does not support video playback, I did as Deggie suggested and Bingo.

  • My tabs page shows nothing but the new search bar but that can't even be used either

    So I use the newtabs page all the time, infact everytime I open firefox but I have opened newtabs page this morning and none of my pages are there at all and I haven't click "Hide new tabs page". All that is on the newtabs page is that new searchbar but thats not working for searches either.

    Are there any errors in the Browser Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) that could be related to this?
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • When I click on the + a new tab comes up, but no google search bar. I was able to get a new search bar before an upgrade.

    To get a new search bar to come up I have to go to File, open a new window. If I select open a new tab, only a tab comes up, no search bar. I tried downloading current Firefox then reverted back to old ones trying to fix my problem.

    If you reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some of your data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, form data) is automatically imported and your current profile will be moved to the desktop (Old Firefox Data).
    You need to create a new profile if you really ant to get rid of all personal data and have a factory reset.

  • TS3899 My iphone 5 gets email, but there is no content when I try to look at a specific email

    What can I do when my Apple Iphone 5 gets mail, but when I try to look at it, there is no content?

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then check your email again.

  • Suddenly, I can access my mailbox on AOL Mail but I cannot read anything when I try to open the individual mail. Get blank "page," even though something clearly is there (when accessed vis Explorer or Safari). What's wrong and how do I fix it?

    This is on my desktop PC running Windows XP. Have used Firefox successfully for a couple of years. This problem was first noticed on 1/18/2012.
    Logging off and logging back into AOL does not fix it. Closing and re-opening Firefox does not fix it. Shutting down and rebooting the PC does not fix it.
    Thanks for any help/explanations.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I am getting an error code Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long when I try to open my website, but it does work if I open a new tab, why?

    Is this a problem with my pc or the website? Does it make a difference if the site is password protected?

    Hi,
    There was a LONG discussion on the forum 4 months ago about this exact issue and it was affect Shaw customers. You can see it at [/questions/976504]. However, cor-el mentioned a fix that worked for users and it said:
    Make sure to reset the security.tls.version.max pref to 1 if you have previously changed this pref to 0 to disable TLS 1.0
    Can you see if that helps?
    This is most likely not what's happening but it's safe to go over previously solved questions.
