All of a sudden Firefox opens to Facebook? How can I change back to Google?
details? there are no details.
Do you mean the page that opens when you start Firefox?
Did you check the Home page setting in Firefox?
See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
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).
You can also check for issues caused by extensions.

i just plugged my iphone in to download some pix to my computer and my phone is now showing a plug with the itunes icon and its telling me I have to restore my phone and will lose all my data. *** is going on and how can I go back?
"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one. -

I just noticed that all of the purchases I just transferred have ended up in the trash. Tried it again after downloading a new app and it happened again. Does anyone have any idea how my Trash folder became the designated download/backup folder...and how can I change this?
In iTunes open Prefs > Advanced and see what it says for "iTunes Media folder location."

Now I have MSN Bing instead of Firefox Google as my preset, How can I change back?
Somehow when I bring up Firefox now, instead of getting the usual Firefox/Google page I get a msn.com/Bing page. I even uninstalled and then reinstalled Firefox and I get the same stuff. How can I go back to the Google preset?? Thanks for your time and effort.
Have a look at this:

If I already have firefox open in Linux, how can I open a new URL in a new window.
I want to be able to click on a button, and have firefox open a new window at a given URL. Currently, if I already have firefox running, then it opens a new tab, which may be on a different desktop. Having to detach the new tab to a new window and move it back to the right desktop seems like unnecessary work.
If you mean a shortcut or link ''completely outside of Firefox,'' there is a hidden preference to change how that works. This requires a visit to the about:config preferences editor. I think it's (C) below that you might want to change.
In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered.
Double click these and set the value as desired:
'''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
3 = divert new window to a new tab (<u>default</u>) (checked*)<br>
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
1 = force new window into same tab
'''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
'''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction''' - for links in Firefox tabs
0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)<br>
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (<u>default</u>)<br>
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
'''(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external''' - for links in other programs
-1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (<u>default</u>)<br>
3 = open external links in a <u>new tab</u> in the last active window<br>
'''2 = open external links in a <u>new window</u>'''<br>
1 = open external links in the <u>last active tab</u> replacing the current page
Does that work? -
I do online classes and the web portal for the school (UCF) does not support any firefox version higher than Firefox 3.6.
I get thrown out of the portal at various times and it is really making things difficult.
How do I go back to firefox 3.6 from firefox 4.01 in windows 7?Install Firefox Portable 3.6.20 to your hard drive for that website. <br />
http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable/localization#legacy36
It won't affect your current Firefox installation, which you should update to Firefox 6.0 - you are missing a bunch of important security fixes by being two versions behind the latest. 3.6.20 doe have all those fixes. -
I can use Explorer to get to to the webmail, but Firefox no longer works.
You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them. -
Firefox crashes quite often, especially when I have multi tabs open. I usually have to use CTRL ALT DEL and end the process as Firefox stops responding.
My problem is not the crashing........it is the re-opening of the multiple tabs I had open, when normally it is one of them (not the home page) that caused the crash in the first place, so I cannot re-open firefox until I restart the pc, because every time I do it is the same story. Firefox tries to re-open all of the tabs and stops responding. I have looked in options but nowhere does it allow me to stop multiple tabs opening after a crash. If this continues, I will have to uninstall Firefox and stick to Chrome.Set the pref browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -
Computer is a desktop running Windows Vista. IE will not open either saying "there is a problem and shutting down". My laptop with Firefox 3.6 works fine.
