How can I get rid of "myV9" that suddenly appeared the other day when I started Firefox?

Suddenly there was a portal site named "myv9" or "V9" on the screen when I started Firefox the other day. It contains a lot of icons for programs like Facebook, Google and so on. Until now I have had only Google as start page from Firefox. Of course I can click on the Google icon to get there, but it is the only site that I want to use of all these. Nearly all the other icons (except Facebook and some others) lead to specific US sites that I never visit (for example the weather forecast for North America) , because I live in Sweden. How can I get rid of "myv9"?
Even if it doesn´t harm my computer, I am afraid that it will slow it down, and, besides, it needs an extra click to get to Google.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?

When I start firefox, the previous tabs are there but blank and say new tab, can I restore the tabs?
how can I do this?

I'm not sure what causes this.
As the first step, I recommend backing up your existing sessionstore files.
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Scroll down to the files whose names start with sessionstore. You should find at least sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak. If the .js extension does not appear on sessionstore, you should turn off the Windows feature that hides file extensions from you, so that you can work with file names as accurately as possible. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].
Make backup copies of all the sessionstore files to somewhere like your Documents folder for possible later restoration.
Next, try one of the data mining techniques in these posts to rescue the URLs from the sessionstore.js or sessionstore.bak file:

My time capsule cannot connect to my system and I get an error msg -6753. I also get a clicking noise when I start up. I've tried every thing from re setting, un plugging and re setting but nothing works. Anybody have the same problem ?

A "clicking noise" is often a sign that a hard drive is malfunctioning. Suggest that you power down the device and take it to an Apple store to have them take a look, or contact Customer Service at Apple for instructions.

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 ota, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset! My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it .

After updating my Iphone 4s to os 7.1.1 from 7.1 over the air, my phone went into recovery mode. Yet when I try to restore it with Itunes on my windows 7 laptop it says the network connection has been reset. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network is active, or try again later. My phone has the itunes logo and charger symbol on it, as well as an arrow pointing at the Itunes logo. After holding the sleep button down or even doing the hard reset the same screen comes up on my phone regardless of whether it is plugged in or not to my computer. I have turned my computer off and on again. It is plugged in and charging as it's battery life is very short. I also reset my modem and the same error message pops up. The only option on my computer when my phone is plugged in is to restore it. My firewall also allows Itunes through it. I have literally tried everything I know being someone who knows very little about technology. I also do not want to hear about how the update worked for other people. My phone has been in recovery mode for 5 hours at least now so it will just make me more frustrated if a bunch of people post about how the update worked for them.

Hello milkisoo,
Wow! Purchasing a new computer and monitor should be a fun and exciting experience, and instead, it sounds like it’s turned into a complete nightmare. I can only imagine your disappointment when you found two charges relating to its purchase on your debit card account, and I’m sorry for any aggravation this caused.
As I want to provide you some piece of mind, I pulled up your order number using your email address attached to the forum. After review of its payment information, I found we collected only one payment. However, when orders are first placed on BestBuy.com, a pending authorization should show up on your bank card to make sure funds are available for the order until it is fulfilled. From there, the authorization should drop off and the collection charge should appear. This is the case for your one charge of $1,051.69.
It also sounds like an error may have occurred when you initially attempted to place your order, resulting in one of your gift cards not registering properly and the order not being completed. Your card’s issuing bank doesn’t appear to have recognized this and pushed through the pending authorization. This occurred a second time when your account information didn’t quite match up with what we had on file. Please know that we haven’t ordered a collection of these funds and your issuing bank should release the two pending authorizations within 5 to 7 business days.
Thank you for posting.

How do you resolve error code 36 when trying to restore an iPad that has been reset to original settings?

How do you resolve error code 36 when trying to restore an iPad that has been reset to original settings?

MB-
As far as I can tell, Error Code 36 is an "I/O Error". It may mean you have a bad USB cable between the iPad and your computer, or the cable was not plugged in firmly.
See if this helps with your Restore: <iOS: Unable to Update or Restore>.

Hi. the email application has been removed from my ipad. I don't have back up so how can I get it back?

Hi. the email application has been removed from my ipad. I don't have back up so how can I get it back?

It is not possible to remove the Mail app (or any other of the bundled apps) from the iPad. It's probably been moved to another Home screen or inadvertently placed in a folder. If you can't find it, you can reset the Home screens in the General -> Reset preferences.
Regards.

Itunes can not complete request, the network connection has been reset

iTunes can not complete my download request for video slammer, the network connection has been reset, why I'm I getting this problem?

Apple's servers are probably very busy. You may want to wait for a little while before trying again.

Passwords after storing are automatically being cleared when i start firefox the very next time

when firefox asks me whether to save passwords i always click remember because i don't like to enter the passwords again and again and i only use this computer.
recently, the stored passwords are being cleared when i start firefox.
and firefox asks whether to save passwords again and again.
i have tried the solutions: there are no exceptions, no private browsing and passwords are cleared after shutdown option is not selected. is there a solution for this????

If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I have a problem with bookmarks, all the time when I start Firefox the bookmarks is deleted, or not there. And I need to import them again and again, also the cookies, cash are deleted.

The bookmarks, cookies, history all the time are deleted when I start Firefox and I need to import them all the time.
I have version 3.6.12

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
See:

When I start Firefox, the name goes to the bar at the bottom, but I can't open it. Clicking it does nothing, I am still left with my desktop. So temporarily, I have to access the internet using IE, which I don't prefer. How do I get round this?

I used FF for some time, then I looked up a page in Turkish (not my language), and the page appeared in a small format, and I couldn't open it. Even when I right-clicked the FF icon, I couldn't close it, so I turned the computer off, and restarted, but I still can't open any page with FF because I can't get the full page. I am using an Acer Desktop tower with Vista - I am bilingual German/English. I have tried starting the computer in a different modus, FF starts then, but when I use the usual modus, it won't start - I use ESET NOD32 AV and Ad-Aware, and both haven't found a problem - I am now running Malwarebytes, and so far it hasn't found anything

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

Firefox loads with "parent.lock" in profile folder. Can't get beyond start-up page on the internet. Creating a new profile & deleting old profile in ProfileManager did not solve prblm. When I start Firefox the file is back. scan disc found nothing

Every time I open Firefox I can't get beyond the first page. No connection to internet. It just says "connecting" and hangs. I create a new profile and delete the old one and I can start firefox and get to the internet, but when I shut the system down, the next time it will not go beyond the first opening page and the "parent.lock" file is present in my profile folder.

When I start Firefox the Firefox "what's new" page pops up -- even after I answered the question and viewed the video

Whenever I start Firefox I get my homepage and the Mozilla "what's new" page in tabs. It is annoying.

Hi jhmalik,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

When I start FireFox the process with the image name System and user name System (looking in Task Manager) starts taking tremendous CPU time (up to 50% or more).

I am using FireFox 4.0.1 for Windows, and routinely check for updates. It did not do this under previous versions (not sure it is was specific to 4.0.1 or with started with 4.0) I have watched the CPU utilization when starting other applications including Thunderbird, and the high utilization by this process so far seems tied to whenever I start up the newer version of FireFox.

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.
