Firefox has taken over as the default browser ... I dont want to use firefox, how do I switch back?? Thank you

I downloaded Firefox to try it recently. Today I noticed that every time I tried to open Facebook it was acting as the "default" browser. I'm having trouble using Firefox and would like to switch back to my original browser.

Firebug has development versions that should work in Firefox 4 beta builds. Try the latest version (1.6X.ob1) available from http://getfirebug.com/releases/firebug/1.6X/
This is a beta version of Firebug.
For other add-ons marked as incompatible, you can install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 Add-on Compatibility Reporter], this will enable all of your add-ons and you can test to see if they work. If the add-ons do not work you can disable them. Note that the current release version of Firebug will not work, you will need to use the beta version.

  • Good grief... my email program PostBox is now using Chrome as its default browser. I want to use FireFox. Where is the setting that I have to change?

    All I want to do is make FireFox my default browser for everything. Right now the email program is using Chrome, it didn't use to do this. It used to be FireFox and I want it back...

    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 has taken over my computer to the extent that I can't get out of firefox back to my regular homepage and moreover I can't even log out or shut down.

    When I try to log on as I have usually done I get a small window
    stating that an error has occurred and when I click on what should solve the problem a larger white window appears stating
    I should not close the window...although several times I have
    not close the window all I get is 2 blue spinning circles.
    I feel like Firefox has taken over my heretofore routine
    usage of my computer and I have lost control. HELP!!!!!

    That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

  • Firefox has taken over almost all of my desktop and I can't remove it....

    Firefox has taken over three quarters of my desktop and I can't remove it. This is irritating and I will remove firefox if this continues,
    I have pictures of my daughter as my desktop and do not appreciate this.

    On any windows machine use "Alt+SpaceBar" to help you move or resize the window.
    Windows 7 (only) users can use WinKey+leftarrow (cursor keys) to reposition window to the left half of the screen and then you can resize or move from there with the normal methods. Works nicely if you for instance lost your window on another monitor or want to switch the window to a different monitor in use. (something to look forward to in the future as you are on Vista)
    Please refer to the following article for many more tips, more complete information on how to fix, and if possibly an extension is involved in the problem.

    It is still possible to resize and move windows with JavaScript for those who lost the ability with Firefox 8.0 and above, but it involves a couple of extra steps covered in the above article.

  • The profile manager only shows my new profile. How do I switch back to my default profile?

    I just made a new profile to use exclusively with an alternate version of Firefox. My regular version accidentally opened this new profile, so I tried using profile manager to set it back to the default. However, the profile manager is only showing my new profile. /appdata/roaming/mozilla/firefox/profiles shows that I still have my default and my new profile. Putting -P "default" in the target line just opens up profile manager. How do I switch back to my default profile or get it to show up in profile manager?

    When a profile doesn't show in the Profile Manager then you can register this profile by using the Profile Manager to create a new profile.
    You can click the "Choose Folder" button to make Firefox recognize and use an already existing profile.
    It is best to create a desktop shortcut that selects a specific profile (-P "profile_name") to avoid opening a profile with the wrong Firefox version.<br />
    Make sure to select the profile for the default browser in the Profile Manager, so that is used when you click a link in an external program.

    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_multiple_profiles_-_Firefox
    You can use the -no-remote command line switch to open another Firefox instance with its own profile and run multiple Firefox instances simultaneously.

  • How can my ipad work in the caribbean if i dont want to use my current provider

    How can my ipad 4 work in the caribbean if i dont want to use my current UK provider.
    I am travelling to the Caribbean, will I be able to buy a sim card there to use over there for wifi.

    UK-sold iPads are not locked to a carrier, so you should be able to use your iPad with any carrier that offers compatible service and an iPad data plan.

    itunes accounts are not the same as icloud accounts.  It's okay to use the same ID for the itunes account on different devices owned by different users.  That way you share purchased items.  But for icloud, each user should have their own account if they want their own data, otherwise data is shared among all users.

  • Yahoo has taken over as my default page. It overrides what I have specified. How can I get rid of it?

    I've used the option dialogue box and set the default webpage to my own but yahoo comes up instead. They must be desperate! This really stinks. How can I get rid of it?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

  • When I plug my i phone 4 into i tunes on the same computer that is used for the i pod touch it changes the e mail over to the i pod touch and i cant figure out how to get it back on the i phone account.  how do i fix this?

    Hi,  i need help.  When i plug into i tunes with my i phone 4 it changes the e mail account over to my daughters i pod touch account and i can't figure out how to separate the 2.  when i click on store,  it show up as my account but if i try to update an app or purchase anything it shows on the phone as her email and i need her password to do what i what.  it also puts her apps on my phone.  any advice would be appreciated.  thanks

    If you are being prompted for her Apple ID password when updating apps it means that there are one or more apps on your phone that were purchased with her ID.  (Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them regardless of the settings on your phone.)  It's possible that you are inadvertently syncing her apps to your phone.  .  The only way to stop this is to delete these apps from your phone.  You may want to check which apps are checked on the Apps tab of your iTunes sync settings before syncing next time to be sure her apps aren't selected.
    To change the Apple ID used for purchasing, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the ID you want to use.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Firefox 3.6.12 is my default browser but I have to use Internet Explorer 8 to get on to the Internet first. Can you help?

    My laptop is Acer Aspire 5101 running Windows XP. I also find Firefox "freezes" and I have no alternative but to switch off computer. Then I find "firefox.exe not responding" and Windows has to "end program".

    hello, normally such connection issues are caused by a firewall/security software which doesn't recognize & therefore blocks new firefox versions: [[Fix problems connecting to websites after updating Firefox]]

  • Firefox has installed 'Ask' as the default serch engine, I don't want it but it keeps changing it back.

    I prefer 'Google'

    There are a few settings you need to check, for details see this post at mozillaZine - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=5069645#p5069645
    For the first setting that it shows how to change (keyword.URL), an alternative to what it mentions is to right-click on the preference and choose Reset, that will also set it back to Google.

  • Why is Firefox so dramaticly changed since version 4. I absolute dis like it and I dont want to use Firefox 4 anymore if this ''new"' interface remains as it is now

    The tabs are changed and also a few knobs are on a different place.
    Read the comments and problems on FF4.
    I had made an backup file and moved back to 3.6.
    If FF4 is your new to go, be happy with it.
    But without me, and I can tell you This: many will move to other browsers on the way FF4 works now.
