AOL email,click on email to open,email text replaced by Bing Search box

I use Mozilla Firefox to open my AOL homepage...then when I click on AOL Mail email, the single email loads, appears on the screen for about 2 seconds, then the text of the email disappears and is replaced by a Bing Search box...I can actually type inside the search box, but of course I have not done that for fear of infecting my computer further...had a computer tech at my home to try to repair,but unsuccessful...on phone for 2 hrs each with both AOL and Microsoft, no luck...if I access the AOL page via Internet Explorer, the error does not occur...using Windows Vista.

Sorry that is the T-Mobile setup process for AOL, after investigating I realized that AOL and Verizons network dont play well the way I got it to work was either setup Google to retrieve AOL account or use the app from AOL located here.. http://mobile.aol.com/product/android/aol/
Also here is the setup processes for all AOL supported apps, it doesnt show Android but maybe you can play with some of the settings and get it to work through the app.... http://about.aol.com/faq/openmailaccess
UPDATE: Did some more reasearch and found this information at DroidForums by Drakkarr that may work...
How to set up my Droid email to send/receive Netscape, AOL or AIM emails?
Setting up access to the AOL or AIM Mail servers is simple, and the settings are similar for most email applications.
The basic information that you need to keep in mind to set up your email application using IMAP and POP3 is as follows:
Your email address is [email protected] or [email protected]
Be sure to include the @aol.com or @aim.com suffix.
The incoming mail (POP) server address is imap.aol.com and imap.aim.com for IMAP, and pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP3.
Select the check box for leaving messages on the server.
The outgoing mail (SMTP) server address is smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587.
Your user name is your AOL or AIM screen name.
Your password is your AOL or AIM password.

  • When I open my AOL mail in Firefox, the message opens then changes to the Bing search page.

    I can see the message for a few seconds, then the screen blinks and I am looking at the search page where the email should be. This only seems to be happening on one of my computers and it does not happen in other browsers.

    Hi rickyoshiro,
    This sounds like a known issue reported here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
    There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
    # Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
    # Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
    Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • My default search engine is Google and I deleted Bing. Whenever I open a new tab, Bing is displayed and it takes the focus so if I am trying to type a URL in the new tab, it is entered in the damn bing search box. HOW DO I GET RID OF THAT ACCURSED BING?

    My default search engine is Google and I deleted Bing from the Search Providers. Facebook is set as my home page.

  • I open my email and the Bing search box appears, this does not happen when using Internet Explorer

    When using the browser, when I go to aolmail and open my email account and click on my mail to open a message to read. The mail opens and content shows for a quick second and then goes blank. The Bing search box appears in the email content section. If I use internet explorer there is no problem. The email can be read. I am using firefox 3.6.15, home vista.

    That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

  • Problems reading email in AOLMAIL,Bing search box appears in the email

    I can not read my email using aolmail. When I open my email the Bing search box appears and the content section for the mail. I can read the email using Internet Explorer, ATT.Net I only have the problem using firefox,

    When combining AND with OR in the SQL where clause, you need to use parenthesis to explicitly say how you want logic to be combined.
    In addition, if someone does not make a selection, or chooses 'Select All', then do not include that column in the where clause at all. You do this by dynamically building the where clause;  check the values from the submission and if they are not null, add them to the where clause, otherwise do not add them.

  • Opening up a new tab in Firefox causes it to open with a Bing search box but I don't have Bing as a toolbar, extension, plug-in or default search engine.

    I am using Firefox 6.0 with Win 7.After upgrading from Vista to W7 and updating my various programs and drivers I found Bing set as my homepage and default search engine. I changed them both and they are okay now, but new tabs open with a Bing search box. I don't have a Bing toolbar, plug-in or extension, and Bing is no longer my default search engine or homepage. I do have the MS Office Live plug-in. I would like to have my new tabs open up blank.

  • Last opened email subject is shown when opening email with many destination addresses

    Platform IPAD2 64Gb, OS version 4.3.5 (8L1), English default language.
    Issue: email subject field contents not showing correctly.
    Today I received on my gmail account an email that was targeted explicitely to a group of over 60 addresses, all of them together in the "to:" field.
    on the left part of the screen I can properly see a part of the right subject of the email.
    If I access another email, then open that one, the wrong subject of the last opened email is shown in the right part of the screen, just under the long recipient list, and before the correctly shown date time and content.
    This happens consistently, and whatever other email I decide to open, its subject is shown in place of the right one.
    While having that email opened, if I kill the email application (doubleclicking home and then killing the mail icon), and then relaunch email, the email opens immediately, and the subject is correctly shown.
    I also had cases in which an attachment was not shown in the email, despite being there, and being visible as a clip icon on the left part of the screen (but this is a different issue).

    Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
    ''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
    Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
    Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
    After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
    If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

  • When I begin typing in the upper right search box, after a few letters are typed, a menu drops down with choices. When I click on a choice it doesn't appear in the search box and I have to type everything myself.

    When I use the search box on the upper right and begin to type a word/words when the menu of possible choices appears and I click on the one I want, nothing happens. It doesn't automatically put it into the box like it used to and I have to type everything out.

    Didn't work for me. Got the drop-down but still won't transfer to Google box.

  • FF5 does not seem to supports opening a new tab from my search box. Why? this is an important feature for browsing.

    When I was running FF3.X, I used the Google search bar to replace the standard FF search box. In that, I enabled the "open searches in new Tab" feature. This is highly efficient for browsing, as it doesn't leave the current pages I'm on. Frequently I will be running multiple tabs, and it's annoying to have to open once I've selected a new tab. Is there a compatible add-on to help me with this?

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

  • When i open a new tab, a bing search site pop up instead of a blank tab. how do i get rid of that?

    So i just downloaded CDisplay and thats when it started. So i was wondering if there's an easy way to get rid of the bing search when i click on a new tab

    Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
    UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
    UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)

  • I have a new Windows7 computer, transfered my files and settings from WinXP, I can use the web and receive emails using Firefox but cannot open emails. Can you help?

    I just can't open my emails that I get from msn. My yahoo and gmail messages work and I can open them fine but I can't open my msn mail with this computer.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • My friend uses firefox to email me. When I open email it seem to me that firefox blocks my Gmail. So I cannot access my gmail inbox any more. Please show me how to debug this.

    My browser is IE9. While I read my friend mails that are sent through Firefox. Suddenly I received an error message "Bad request error 400". Now I cannot access my gmail inbox anymore. I don't know what to do now. Please show me how to debug this so I can go back to my gmail because there are a ton of email in gmail inbox. Please help!!

    The following relates to inbox problems in GMail in Nov 2011, no error 400 was seen, only a blank area where the message should have been. Since two people tied into this message this week I think theirs may be a need to update Adblock Plus filters per question [https://support.mozilla.com/questions/896267 896267]

  • Safari -- opening new window puts cursor in search box

    Any way to have it start at the address field instead? I always forget and start typing URLs into Google search. Not the most annoying thing in the world but figured I'd ask in case I can set it to my preference. Thanks in advance.

    There is not a way to change this in iPad settings for Safari. I find that the cursor in the search bar is the right choice a little more than half the time, mainly due to the fact that sites I already know I want are bookmarked.
