FIREFOX 31 ON WINDOWS 7 HOME PRO HIGHJACKED BY YAHOO.CA SEARCH - NO YAHOO SEARCH BAR FOUND

My FF31 has been highjacked by Yahoo.ca search - I cannot locate Yahoo-related or named files anywhere on this standalone PC
If I wanted to use Yahoo.ca that would be my homepage or a search tool in FF - I want to return to FF28 but can't find a path OR delete/remove Yahoo.ca - cannot find a way through control panel to do this

Try installing this add-on to reset your search preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset

Firefox 3.6.9 - xmarks runs but does not complete; google search bar does not work

my xmarks will not synch - it just runs continually
my google search bar does not search - it just returns and does nothing - i read that having personas causes this - but i had them before
i understand there are other issues with incompatibilities in 3.6.9 - are fixes on way

Lets see. I wrote the application. It's an application that receives audio data over a socket connection to a server. This happens seemingly randomly, no real pattern has yet emerged. Or at least none we've been able to discern from our testing and our user testing. The application rapidly plays audio chunks sent to it from the socket, so it's using the audio device heavily. It also runs for many days at a time without restarting. Normally used during regular business hours constantly (approx. 14 hours / day, 84 hours / week). We've had this problem for quite some time and it has persisted over various JVM upgrades.
Thanks for the help

I'm using outlook email, Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Home but email links do not open Firefox even though it's my default browser, Fix?

My email links fail to open Firefox 11. They used to last week but IE updated and now links in my outlook emails do not open Firefox 11 even though it's my default browser. When I change to IE as the default the links open IE.
Your assumptions about my browser, operating system and others are correct.
VERY FRUSTRATING. HELP, Please

Hi,
Please also try this: Windows Control Panel > '''Default Programs''' > '''Associate a file type or protocol with a program''' > look for '''.url''' > '''Change program''' to Firefox.
edit: You have to restart Outlook or sometimes reboot the system for the change to take effect. Thanks AUnderhill.

Firefox install on windows vista home machine seems to hang up about 2/3 of the way thru

installing from setup 13.0.1 / seems to be hung up about 2/3 of the way thru / system is vista home edition / machine is toshiba L355-57915

Hi,
Please try right-clicking on the Firefox installer and '''Run as administrator'''. If the problem persists, you can try to include the installer and its processes as fully trusted/allowed in any security software before starting the installation. You can also try to temporarily disable the security software for a few minutes. In this case you may also have to include the newly installed Firefox + sub processes in the security software configuration before starting Firefox.

Bootcamp with Windows 7 Home Pro on a Mac Mini 2.26...

Forgive me if a similar thread is posted somewhere with the same topic.
I just recently installed this, actually over the weekend to expand my gaming library not wanting to buy a PC. It seems to work remarkably well and runs Steam and the games that aren't native Mac well! It works so well, that I'm thinking about doing the same to my MBP which is slightly higher in specs...
I use my MBP for music/work and I'm just a little concerned it may cause issues... Any feed back would be great.... I'm just wondering if I was extremely lucky to not run into issues.

How to add acrobat to windows 7 home pro default programs list

I have lost the ability to set Acrobat as the default program for opening pdf files. I can do it with manual "open with", however I cannot set it as the default to do it automatically through any of the windows options. I found that Acrobat is not listed as one of the windows default rpgrams and would like to be able to add to that list. Does anyone know how to do that? I assume it requires a registry change but I don't know where.
Thanks for your help

The last item about PDF Maker files missing is another matter altogether. You really need to indicate what version of OFFICE you are using (usually where PDF Maker is used). With AA9, you can only use PDF Maker with OFFICE 2007 or earlier. AA9 is not compatible with OFFICE 2010. So adequate information is needed to give an answer. I suspect that you may have OFFICE 2010 or are using a 64-bit version of OFFICE that is also a compatibility issue for PDF Maker unless you upgrade to AA X.
The last screen Rufus shows is not available in Win7. They moved that functionality to the Control Panel as I indicated in an earlier post. But you would in a similar manner go to the set Associations and see a long list of file types. You would select the PDF type and then edit the association. You would select Acrobat.exe and not AcroRd32.exe as your default association for PDF files. Reinstalling Reader just messes things up and should generally not even be installed when you have AA9. AA X is the first version that really has allowed both Acrobat and Reader due to some compatibility issues. Usually it is best to just stay with Acrobat and not have Reader on your system. If you do uninstall Reader, you will likely have to do a Repair to Acrobat.

I would like to use firefox to access two different yahoo email accounts at the same time. I am using Firefox 4 with Windows 7 Home Premium. Can you help?

This might be solved using two sessions. How do I do that?

You should be able to do this by using the Multifox add-on - http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/

In the new firefox (34) i started having a problem entering anything in the search bar or address bar. Any key stroke i make is changed to a random character

Keystrokes do not reflect what I am trying to type in Firefox 34. This just started today. I had to use IE Explorer which I hate to send this to you. I reset firefox twice but no help. Uninstalled it and reinstalled an older version and all was well. Reinstalled the latest version and I am back to the keystroke problem again. HELP !!!!!

Where is the old firefox homepage? The one with all the tabs above the search bar which says Youtube, IMDB etc?! I cannot find it s I have reinstalled my OS so everything is gone.

Please message me back because I find this very irritating.

There are onclick event tied to the URL that changes the link when you left or right-click. 
So on first hover you see something different than after you have clicked a link with the mouse. 
You can check that yourself by closing the right-click context menu and then hover the link another time. 
It is possible to remove the onclick with a Scriptish/GreaseMonkey script or with a bookmarklet (do a Google search). 
Firefox will always show the URL as present in the href attribute and not what the onclick will make of it as this is only known after running the JavaScript code in the onclick.
It is best not to mess with the JavaScript setting in Firefox as this is a very basic enable/disable and will cripple a lot of web pages when you disable JavaScript. 
There are extension like NoScript that can block all scripts by default, but that requires to whitelist all websites where you want scripts to run. 
This may slow down Firefox when this list gets larger and also you need to be aware that pages may not work properly. 
This is the same with all extensions that block content.

New installation of Firefox on a new PC locks up as soon as the search bar starts to auto-complete

I have just installed Firefox 6.02 on a new Dell Vostro 3550.
Install went fine, but Firefox is completely unusable.
when typing in either bar, as soon as auto-complete starts to suggest, Firefox locks up.
I did not import any bookmarks.
I have not set up sync.
I did not install any add-ons.

Update:
I can only get Firefox to work with Add-ons disabled.
I have no add-ons installed so I am not sure why this makes a difference...
Update 2:
I figured out a workaround, but not necessarily the cause.
The work around is to disable hardware acceleration (Options->Advanced).
The cause appears to be related to the switchable graphics on this Dell notebook, Intel Core i5 with AMD HD 6630M.

My computer with Windows 7 Home updated to Firefox v34.0.5 but my two computers running Windows 7 Pro haven't yet updated beyond Firefox v34.0. Something wrong?

See info above. I have re-run the update process at least 10 times on both machines running Windows 7 Pro (most recently this morning), and each time both machines running Windows 7 Pro (one is 64-bit, one is 32-bit) say that Firefox v34.0 is "up to date". I checked Mozilla.org, which states that Firefox v34.0.5 was released in mid-December, but it didn't say anything about whether that update was only for certain OSs. I have also run multiple anti-virus scans from different providers on both machines running Windows 7 Pro, and all scans indicate no issues.
Please advise is there are different versions of Firefox for Windows 7 Home/Pro, or if I am having an issue. If I am having an issue, please advise how I can correct it.

Hello StevenBeary, the 34.0.5 release it is for all users who download a fresh version of Firefox, or download it for the first time. This release will NOT be found via Firefox's update.
Firefox 34, it is the latest release via update. You are OK.

A Firefox search bar virus has taken hold of my system and wont let go! Is there any way I can avoid uninstalling Firefox every day to get rid of this?

The situation: Whenever I go to use the address bar or the small search toolbar (which is set to google) in my window, the search engine used instead is "search.searchcompletion.com", which returns very shitty search results and is annoying.
The things I have tried to fix this:
First, I disabled and deleted all my add-ons, changed my homepage back to google and updated my search engine to google. Tested search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Second, I downloaded a anti-virus/anti-malware program called Malwarebytes. It did good, catching 28 virus's in various files, quarantining them, and deleting them. I tested the search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Third, I read about typing in "about:config" into the Firefox address bar and changing a few things, as explained <a href="http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/09/remove-startsearch-and.html">here</a>. I tested the search bar, *still broken*. RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fourth, I read you can "manually delete the virus from your registery". I followed the instuctions carefully, deleting these strings: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main “Start Page”
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Control Panel “HomePage”. Tested the search bar, *still infected* RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fifth, someone somewhere installed a special add on that blocked certain sites. Whatever I did it did not work, the site (search.searchcompletion.com) just lost it's formatting, but still did not let me search using google. RESULT: NEGATIVE
Fifth, I just uninstalled everything having to do with Firefox from my computer. I reinstalled it and tested the search bar and it worked!....
For 24 hours. When I turned on my computer today, the search.searchcompletion virus is back, and short of uninstalling Firefox, I do not know what to do.
I have no add-ons.
I have deleted temp internet files
I have virus protection
I have tried everything.
Help me.

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

FireFox 13 Search Bar not working with TB display

I have a strange problem. I have a new 13" MB Air (mid 2012 model) and I have it attached to a Thunderbolt display. I use FireFox 13 for browsing. When my MB Air is solo (i.e., not hooked up to my TB display), the search bar in the top right of the FireFox screen works normally. When I have the TB display hooked up (both in clamshell and extended desktop mode), the search bar doesn't work (keep getting an error that the connection was reset). I am having the same problem with the address bar search function as well.
I have tried deleting the appropriate files in the FireFox Profiles folder (formhistory.sqlite, search.json, search.sqlite...all after quitting FireFox), but to no avail. Sometimes after doing this the search bar will work once, but then on a subsequent search I get the same connection reset error.
Thoughts?
