AOL always opens when I open my browser I don't use AOL!!

When I open firefox AOL comes up as the Homepage.  I don't use AOL.  I have gone into the preferances and changed what I want for my homepage. I have even removed AOL from the list of possible browsers but as soon as I quit firefox when I open it again AOL comes up.  It is very maddening. Has anyone else had this problem?  did you solve it?

Open Firefox. Go to Firefox in the menu bar and select Preferences.
In General, select which "home page" you want. Mine (below) is set to open google.

  • Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

    Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
    And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
    It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

    I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
    Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
    Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
    I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
    Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
    On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
    ++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

  • My app tabs fail to open when i reopen the browser. why?

    After installing 4.0 yesterday I started experimenting with new features, including the app tabs. I closed some of the app tabs, though not all, and then as an experiment closed & reopened the browser.
    Your specs say that:
    All of the App Tabs you have set when you close Firefox will open as App Tabs when you start Firefox again.
    This did happen for me. Neither the app tabs I had open when I closed the browser nor the ones I had closed were saved. It seems that maybe this feature is not behaving as expected? There appears to be no persistence with the app tabs.

    Your System Details List shows the NoSquint extension, so you can check the zoom settings in that extension.

  • A mysterious audio file opens when I open my browser. How do I find and delete it?

    A mysterious audio file opens when I open my browser. How do I find and delete it?

    The other possibility is that someone with access to your machine (children?, co-worker?) set up all of your browsers to have that audio file set up as a default "home page". This is probably more likely than malware. I just tried with Safari, and it's definitely possible. Check out your Safari preferences and see what it shows as your homepage.

  • Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?

    Why does my mac air always restart when I open it in our university?
    This has been always bothering me for some time already. Whenever I open my macbook air in our university it always warns me to restart my device. When I do the same thing happens over and over again until it reached 27 reports.

    I'd make a sound too if i was put into a bag haha.
    Only thing i could think of it it has a mind of its own or your putting your computer to sleep. Try shutting down your mac before placing in your bag and see if that changes things.

  • Setting always change when i open ms word on my pc..

    why every time I make a setting with ms word for mac always change when I open it with ms word program on your pc?

    Why would you expect a setting in one program on one operating system to affect the setting in another program on another operating system? I likely did not understand your issue from your description. Or do you mean for example if you create a document using red for the type color that the color changes to another color when you open the document in another installation of Word?
    I suggest you ask in the Office for Mac forums. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,
    Asaf Privman.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:
    * NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    * New Tab Homepage : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage/

  • Why do all my word documents open when I open word

    why do all my word documents open when I open word

    You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
    How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
    There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
    Not sure of the exact cause...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Flash Pro CS 5.5 will only open when I open as Admin

    For some reason Flash Pro CS 5.5 will only open when I open as Admin.  If I try to open it normaly or by clicking on a fla nothing happens except a program called WerFault.exe and Flash.exe show up in my Task Manager then close.  I get no report that something is wrong though I know werfult is window's problem reporting program.  When I open as admin Flash Pro works fine so I do not understand what is going on.  It worked fine yesterday and I have made no installations or updates since then.
    Any suggestions?

    Sounds like you installed it for standard users, you use a standard user account and you changed something while you were logged on as an admin. If you did anything as an admin to make a file Flash writes (configs, etc) then they can become unable to be utilized again by anything other than the administrator.
    As administrator, you can right-click on a folder, open up properties, use the security tab, advanced at bottom, owner tab at top, edit button, select your username, check "Replace owner on all subcontainers and objects" then apply and keep hitting apply/ok. That will reset ownership of all the files back to the user you designate which shouldn't require administrator privs.
    Additionally, as administraotor, you can go in properties->security tab->edit button, select your user and make sure they have full control permissions.

  • Everytime I open a new tab it comes up with Yahoo, how do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

    How do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

    I had the same problem, in fact, I'm one of the people who clicked, "I have this problem, too!"
    I used to have blank tabs when I would open them, but I downloaded some shady software that I didn't know had add-ons! I tried the "about:config" method and messed around with some of those things but nothing happened. After deleting and reinstalling firefox it still happened, and after doing a computer wide search of 'Ya' or 'yahoo' it came up empty. That told me it's combined with some other program or it's under a different name completely. When I would open a new tab, the url would come up something like:
    www.click.1.3.yahoo.com/tab_search_000,00.03 blah blah blah. toward the end of the string though, the word "Freeze" appeared. So I went back to my control panel and looked for the word freeze in anything, even as the host site. I FOUND IT! It was some net assistant bug that downloaded off of some other software I had running. Hope this helps some of you!
    -Kayl
    PS. even if your word isnt freeze, it may be something else worth searching in your control panel :)

    Move your cursor way over to the right side of the window. There should be a thin bar. when you hover over the left side of the thin bar, the cursor will change to a vertical bar with an arrow sticking out the left. Click and drag to the left.
