Browser is hijacked by Conduit and I cannot get it back

My browser home page has been hijacked by Conduit and I cannot get it back. I have tried:
- changing the home page in Options
- removing all toolbars and extensions
- removing all Conduit-related programs via control panel applet
- using the about:config to search for 'Conduit' and reset all config lines
- scanning with SuperAntiSpyware
- using the Mozilla profile manager to delete my Firefox profile
- using Help-> Troubleshooting Information -> Reset Firefox
- searching and deleting line containing 'Conduit' in the .js files in my profile
No matter what I do, whenever Firefox starts, my homepage is set back to Conduit. How can I fix this?
thx

I have just had the same problem but found part of the solution in this forum.
The first thing to do is to type into the Firefox address bar about:config and hit enter.
Acknowledge that you'll be careful!
In the search bar type "conduit" and hit enter.
Nullify all the entries by right clicking and select "reset". There are likely to be a lot.
Now, what the other forum thread failed to say was to then go to Options, Privacy, and under History select "Remember History".
Next, in the same window, select "Delete Individual Cookies" and search for "conduit". Delete all cookies containing the word conduit.
Close and reopen Firefox and all should be well.
As an added precaution I have added the Block Site extension to Firefox and in the options have added "search.conduit.com", which will hopefully stop this pest from reappearing. DO NOT SELECT THIS HYPERLINK FROM THIS POST!

Using my iMac to fill in forms online, the screen suddenly fades off to the side and I cannot get it back. so frustrating!!

While online at a web site, filling in important forms, the screen suddenly fades to one side and disappears, and I cannot get it back, forcing me to start all over again. How can I stop this from happening?

The entire web screen of the form page I am filling out slides to the right and disappears, seemingly under a previous form that was not yet filled out, but I can't find it to retrieve it. I suspect this wireless mouse might be causing it? In general I find going back to a previous web page to be very awkward compared to windows. I always get this message, do you want to submit this form again? In windows, I could use a pull down arrow from my browser bar to locate a previous page. Maybe Mac isn't for me.

The icon for volume has disappeared and I cannot get it back....

The icon ;in my task bar for the volume has disappeared and I cannot get it back. I tried the customization feature, and it says that the icon is visible but it is not. then it says the feature will appear when it become available??? When will that be and why has it gone?

Is this a laptop? If so i have that problem periodically. Turn over the laptop >Take out the battery> turn over the laptop again> push/ hold the power button about 15 seconds> reinstall battery. This worked for me.

WELL….this last crash has disappeared from any way of getting it back and IT HAD SOME REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT OPENED WINDOWS I WAS WORKING ON (EMPLOYMENT INFO, I AM UNEMPLOYED!) AND NOW THEY ARE GONE AND I CANNOT GET THEM BACK!! YOU NEED TO HELP ME RESTORE THAT OPEN WINDOWS FOR ME. IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT!! I NEED SOME DESPERATE HELP NOW!!
Thanks,
Nick

Nick, sorry to hear about that. I'm not sure where you are sending the emails, but if you use the form to submit your crash information, that goes into a database for review by the developers instead of coming to the support volunteers here.
Did you try the History > Restore Previous Session command? Firefox sometimes saves form data in the session history. This data may age out, so you should use that menu item as soon as possible.
Going forward, consider installing the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ Lazarus: Form Recovery] extension if you are filling long forms and Firefox is unstable.
With respect to the crashes, there are many possible reasons for Firefox to crash. Have you reviewed the help articles for diagnosis? For example: [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]].

My bookmark icon has changed to something else and I cannot get it back to normal

When I went to these sites on a cruise it changed the icon to the side of my bookmarks. it now has these odd icons that do not fit what the bookmark links are and I cannot get them back to normal. Any ideas?

You can use the following add-on to refresh the site icons for your bookmarks.

Another web browser has hijacked my Firefox and I cannot see how to get rid of it. In the meantime, I have stopped using Firefox on my laptop because I do not trust this other web browser.

A website I was using to find out some transport information has hijacked my Firefox on my laptop and I am unable to get rid of it. I do not trust this other browser so I have stopped using Firefox altogether on my laptop until I find out how to get rid of this other browser. I have an Apple MacBook.

Hi there and thanks for replying. I am not quite sure what you mean by 'restore back to the troubled date'. Would you please explain how I should do this?

A "Caret Browsing" box has popped up and I cannot get rid of it.

This box just showed up and even when I tell it not to show me again and click no it does not go away. If I try to move it it pops back to the middle of my screen. Currently there are 4 of them now on my desktop. I did not download anything and do not think that I pressed F7 key to start this dialog. How do I get rid of this? I do not want or need it. This also opens when I closed Firefox and tried to us IE to look it up and see what it was.

hello acskip, i don't know if it may be related but you can try to remove the ''WiseConvert G2 Community Toolbar 3.18.0.7'' extension in firefox > addons > extensions...

I have accidentally uninstalled iphoto and I cannot get it back.

I have accidentally uninstalled iphoto and now when I open the app store to attempt to reinstall it, it gives me a message saying " These apps cannot be accepted on this computer." My MBP came with iphoto preinstalled so I don't have any cds to use to re-install the software. Please help.

You need to contact App Store support for help with this. They are the only ones who can assist.

Ipad apps disappeared and I cannot get them back

Two days ago I came home and most of the apps on my ipad had disappeared. I tried to Restore my ipad and download the apps from my computer that I have had they backed up on and it keeps saying the computer is not authorized and no matter how many times I have authorized it, it continues to say I am not authorixed eventhough I have used the same password to download some new apps. This is stressing me out as If I have to start from scratch this will be expensive. Up until now it would ask me to authorize my computer each time I wanted to sync it with theipad but it has always worked. Help someone.

OK, I have just found out that I can transfer some songs onto my phone without a problem. However, when even ONE song fails to transfer, all the previous songs I've successfully transferred also fail for seemingly no reason, making me delete them and re-start. This is seriously annoying me.
Is there anyone out there that can help me?

ICloud removed my Outlook 7 contacts and I cannot get them back

When I moved over from Mobile Me, I selected on the iCloud control panel on my Win 7 machine to sync Contacts from Outlook 7, as I was doing successfully on Mobile Me. The sync appeard to go normally, however at the end of the process I got the following error message: "Your setup could not be completed because of an unexpected error." When I asked it to "report" the program became non-responsive. When I looked at my Outlook contacts, they were gone. When I checked iCloud the contacts were there. Across my iPad and iPhone 4S sync is working normally. It appears my only problem is that iCloud will not talk with my Outlook 7 contacts list. Anyone have a suggestion. I did all of the troubleshooting tips offered by Apple's online support, but to no avail.
