All of a sudden, when I click on Firefox in order to access my aol free e-mail, all I get is a screen that says "Google". How do I get out of that screen?

I've never had this problem before. Always when I click on Mozilla Firefox I get the Aol screen asking for my password to get my aol free e-mail. Why am I all of a sudden getting this Google screen which I can see no way to exit from it?

Hi pinks60,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed to the default Firefox home page. It sounds like you just want to make webmail.aol.com/ your home page. Just enter that into the address bar and hit enter. Then follow the steps to make that your home page.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
If you don't see the navigation bar to enter an address or any of the other navigation buttons, take a look at [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]]. That article will show you how to turn on the navigation bar again.
Hopefully this helps!

  • Suddenly when I click the Firefox icon I can only get something from MSN, and a Bing searchengine,so I want my Firefox back

    I am sufficiently computer-ignorant that I haven't a CLUE as to what or why = Just that I went to search something on my default browser, and I get this weird MSN thing, with a "search" box that says "Bing". Can anyone tell me how to get my old setting (Firefox) back? This is a Windows 7 on an old HP laptop HELP!

    Does the same page appear if you do one of these:
    * Click the Home icon on the toolbar
    * Open a new window using Ctrl+n
    ''If Yes:''
    Your home page setting probably was changed. You can change it to your preferred home page again. These articles describe some different ways to do that:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    ''If No:''
    Your Firefox shortcut on the desktop may have been hijacked. You can check that by right-clicking the shortcut > Properties > Shortcut tab. For your version of Windows, the Target line should be exactly the following, no more, no less:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
    If there is anything extra after that, delete it.
    Any improvement?

  • I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down.  How to solve?

    I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again.  Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go.  I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it.  Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others.  The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

    Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

  • When I click on Firefox it opens with a box that says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments-. " then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle) The update could not be install

    When I click on Firefox the first time it says "Foxfire is installing your updates and will start in a few moments…. (with a green bar)" then it says "Software Update Failed (in blue) with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle)
    The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." When I click the ok, Firefox opens up. If I open another Firefox window with the previous one still running, it doesn't give me any of these messages, it just opens normally.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    If you can't install on top of the current installation then you need to delete or rename the current Firefox program folder to do a clean install.
    It is possible that your security software is using or locking files, so you can try to temporarily disable that software during the installation.

  • I want to see my chosen home page when I click on Firefox, but your ad shows up. How do I get rid of it?

    When I go to Mozilla Firefox, I always see YOUR page first instead of my chosen home page. This page says "Committed to You, your privacy and an open web under your logo, and in top right corner, it says "See what's New" and it makes me either check "No Thanks" or "Let's go". This is annoying because I really just want my home page when I click on Firefox.
    How do I get rid of YOUR page that comes up first? If I can't get rid of this, I plan to no longer use Mozilla Firefox. Please advise. (I would have given you a screen shot, but your system doesn't accept it here)
    Thanks!
    Kathy Burden

    You can check the target line in the Firefox desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties) to make sure that nothing is appended after the path to the Firefox program.
    Do you still have your home page set correctly?
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    You can check for problems with preferences.
    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • When I click on Firefox in my dock I sometimes go to a restore msg or a goto this address instead of my aol home page

    I just started Firefox yesterday....I put fox on my dock....sometimes when I click on Firefox in my dock I get an error message showing a restore button or I go to a blank page
    showing "go to this address"... on my third click I go to my homepage aol.com
    I like ffox and I am going to use it a lot thanks
    Jim Bradley I use MAC BOOK10.6.8 <!-- [email protected] -->
    I would like when I select Firefox in my dock I go right to AOL

    My eyes hurt from all caps... I think it could be this issue:
    There is a "bug" in Firefox 20 on Mac OS X where if you close all the pages and then Quit Firefox, it thinks it crashed and starts with the crash recovery screen on the next startup.
    Two workarounds until this is fixed:
    (1) Quit with at least one page open; or
    (2) Don't try to restore the previous session after a crash. Here's how that is changed:
    (i) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (ii) In the search box in that tab, type or paste '''sessions''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (iii) Double-click '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash''' to toggle its value from true to false.
    This should be fixed in a future release of Firefox.

    Hi,
    Have you try to un-select the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) setting?
    Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Excel Options.
    Click Advanced, and then click to clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)
    check box in the General area.
    Click OK.
    If the problem cannot resolve, the Run as administrator may selected.
    Go to Office default install location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12.
    Right-click EXCEL.EXE > Properties >
    Compatibility tab.
    Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
    check box.

  • My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows proc

    My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
    I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
    And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
    Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
    Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

    Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
    If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''

  • When I click on firefox setup 11.o nothing happens

    when i click on firefox setup 11.0 nothing happens

    You may have a corrupted file. Right-click it, select Delete.
    Then, go to [http://www.getfirefox.com www.getfirefox.com], download a fresh copy. When Internet Explorer asks you what you want to do with the File, tell it to save to your Desktop.
    Once it is finished downloading, double-click it. Allow any administrator prompts, so that Firefox can continue.
    Does that help you any?
    A few other things you can do (these are good steps to ensure your PC's health anyway):
    Run all Windows Updates. Install any Service Packs, Hardware updates, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].
    Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. [http://www.malwarebytes.org/ http://www.malwarebytes.org/]. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

  • I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 I restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend

    Hi! I am using firefox on Windows 7 home premium platform today I updated my firefox to its latest version i.e. 3.6.12 first I uninstall the firefox but keeps my personal setting and then restart my system but when I click on firefox icon nothing happened in fact its exe was running in backend firefox version 3.5 is working fine on my system as I low grade myself to 3.5 again. Kindly help.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
    See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

  • When i click on firefox it loads but then nothing comes up and it doesent work

    When i click on firefox it loads but then nothing comes up and it doesent work

    Is the Windows 8.1 system you posted from the one with the problem, or is the problem on a different system? In that case, I assume it's also Windows.
    Does Internet Explorer work normally or are all browsers affected?
    Did this problem start shortly after any software changes, such as:
    * Windows update
    * installation of new software
    * updates to add-ons
    In case the problem is your firewall configuration (for firewall software that blocks programs from accessing the internet), please see: [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]].
    In case the problem is unwanted software or malware, please see: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

    When i click on my ártists' tab on my iPhone 4S nothing shows up, I have edited them in ínfo' and everything. How do I get them to show up?

    I believe this is more about the default settings of the pop-ups. I have tried the 3 methods above and they have not solved my issue.
    As I have stated before this issue is not happening with other web browsers.
    Mozilla is better compatible with the program I am running.
    It seems you know your way around Mozilla so pleas help.
    P.S. I have taken screen shots and attached them to a word doc so I could best illustrate my issue with commentary and arrows but it will not save to my post. I have even tried posting it as a PDF.
