Bling has hijacked my home page, I can't rid of it what to do?

I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it, bling is still there, I tried resetting firefox, that didn't work, does anyone know how to fix this problem?

It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
# At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
# In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
# Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
# Click the remove button.
# Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
If that doesnt work download [http://download.cnet.com/AdwCleaner/3000-7786_4-75851221.html ADWCleaner] and remove any detected items.
For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].

Firefox 9.01 hijacked my home page. How do I get my old homepage back?

Ever since upgrading to 9.01, Firefox has hijacked my home page. How do I get rid of ff opening its own homepage?
Thanks.

Is your home page now https://www.google.com/ ?
If you are missing the traditional "black bar" at the top of the page, that has been replaced with an application button on the right side that looks like a grid of small squares. Some creative developers have posted add-ons to restore the old bar. I haven't tried these myself:

Page hijacks my home page after DSL modem interrupts

I seem to be having frequent DSL modem interruptions (5-10x/wk) from my provider, a local company in my area. Sometimes these interruptions are severe enough for a page to come up on Safari when the DSL connection is restored. The page is from SBC (presumably Southern Bell Communications) and reads as follows:
Success
Resolution Successful
The error has been successfully resolved. Please close down your browser and restart it to
continue browsing online
The URL of the SBC page is http://gateway.2wire.net/xslt?PAGE=HURL00
Now here is the problem I am experiencing. Even though I shutdown (i.e., quit Safari), when I relaunch it, this SBC page, in essence, hijacks my home page (www.nytimes.com) and I am unable, through any mechanism I have tried, to bring up the homepage - it always reverts to the SBC page. I click on the HOME icon, I type in the URL of my home page, nothing works. I've checked PREFERENCES and my desired home page is still set as my default. I clear out cookies. Nothing works, except to completely shut down my iMac and power it up again. This is a real pain.
Is this an ISP issue or a Safari issue? And is there a simpler way to get Safari restored so it works properly?

Hello ken:
Try deleting the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restarting (reenter your personal preferences). Also, clear the Safari cache.
The 2Wire modem/router is the one SBC (aka AT&T) uses for broadband customers.
In answer to your last question, if the above does not help I think your ISP is at the root of the problem.

When am opening new tab, iam getting some website instead of my home page ,how can I set my new tab page?

Iwant to configure my new tab with google which is my home page,how can I do that,can any one give suggestion to me please?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
You can use an extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
*My Homepage: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/my-homepage/

When I click and open my Firefox browser ,it always opens to Firefox welcome page ,NOT my google search page , which is my home page , how can I fix this , I have to always have to close FF before I can search !!??

Can you help me figure out how to stop Firefox from opening to welcome page / updated window, I have to close that before I can use my google search page ,which is my homepage !!

You can start by checking the Home page setting to see if that still links to the Google Home page (http://www.google.com/firefox)
* Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
You can also check the startup setting just above the home page setting.
If the home page setting isn't correct and changing it doesn't last if you close and reopen Firefox then you need to check if the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/prefs.js_file prefs.js] in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] isn't corrupted.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

AmishCake has given you the correct steps for this issue. What is probably happening is you have too many apps running in the background or the ones that you have open are conflicting in some way with the one you are trying to use, so closing everything out and a good reboot should resolve it.
Also, make sure your device is updated and all the apps are updated. Sometimes when the app is updated and the iOS is not, can cause behaviour like this.
If it continues, back up your device and restore it.

I get an error message for all the Apple tutorial videos: The file you are trying to play has failed to finish downloading and can no longer play." What is wrong and how can I fix it?

This means that you have downloadd the file from the internet, and the file did not download completely so the computer can't play it. To fix this, just re-download the file and make sure it finishes.

Firefox starts up, and when home page pressed, program does not respond. What can be done?

When Firefox is started, the circular think button continues to run, but the program has only started one new tab. When the Home Page button is clicked, program seems to lock in a 'Firefox not Responding' error message. When I try to shut it down by using upper right corner X, it gives two choices, "Wait for the program to respond" of "Shut down program". I choose Shut down program, and in the background a message saying 'Windows checking for a solution' although it never comes back with one. What I'd like to know is will Firefox save my bookmarks if program is deleted and a newer version of Firefox is downloaded?

Please update to the current Firefox 27 release.

It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

When I go into any app that requires me to use the key board I instantly go back to the home page and can't access anything (not even settings)

When ever I go into an application that requires me to use the key board the app just closes down and takes me back to the home page. I can't even get into settings. Also if I bring up the key pad it just sticks after I press a couple of keys? Help? I can't get into fb/pages anything!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

thank you very much for firefox :)

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

How do I get rid of MyHeritage which has captured the home page?

I recently upgraded a program called MyHeritage Family Tree Builder. It has taken over the home page of Firefox and I no longer have the Google options.
How do I get rid of it?

'''Restore Default Home Page'''
1. On the menu bar, located on top of Firefox, select Tools | Options
2. Confirm you are in the '''General Panel'''
3. Click '''Restore to Default'''
4. Finally, click '''OK'''

You can do that with an extension like the Google Toolbar.

Something is hijacking my home page and changing it to MSN. I switch back to my preferred page and something switches it right back. Also putting a bing search bar in every blank new tab. I hate both. How do I remove?

The only thing I changed today was I allowed the update to Youtube HD. Now I cannot save my home page. New tabs and new sessions all are reset to MSN. Plus the annoying Bing bar pops up in every new tab. PLEASE PLEASE help me get rid of these. If I really liked MS, I wouldn't be such a Firefox fan.

An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the extra tab?
Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

I want to set a google as a home page how can i set it

I just download FIREFOX. But i cant realise how to set a specific home page please help me.

There is no home page setting. By tapping into the address bar you can choose to search Google, Bing, Wikipedia and others. Just typing your query and pressing enter will search Google.
The default is currently Google, though it may change. You can adjust your default search provider in the Firefox settings. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-my-default-search-engines-firefox-android
If you really really want the homepage behavior there is a bit of a hack around this. You can add a website to the home screen and use that as your launcher. Long press on a history or bookmark item.
