Firefox is my default browser but when I start a search it flips to Yahoo. How can I stop this from happening?

I have searched online but only find old solutions 2005 through 2010, so many of them do not make sense. As in one said go to computer then to C then to programsx86 then to Mozilla and in that folder you will see two versions of... I did not see that. Another said about the same and go to Firefox safe mode....click disable all add-ons....I do not see any of that. I don't know if any of this helps you help me. I appreciate any help you can give. Sincerely, Jonathan

Is it using yahoo as its search engine, or switching to yahoo's browser. If it is using yahoo as its search engine, you can change that in settings>options>search and at the top it will show you a button that you can click to choose your default search engine.
Have a great day!!

There is no bug, there is no patch, and no one needs to delete any email addresses.

  • Firefox closes my Bell Sympatico mail after a minute or so after it opens. How can I stop this from happening? I have to keep logging back on, over and over, and pressing ESC to stop it from closing the site.

    As soon as Bell Email opens, the corner symbol continues to turn and then closes my email web account. Usually hitting the ESC keys stops this but not always. I just upgraded to the new Firefox and am still having the same problem. This does not happen if I log onto my Bell Email account through Internet Explorer. This is unique to Firefox.

    Freezes and system crashes should be virtually non-existent with a new machine (assuming it has not been polluted with bad third party software).  If this were happening to me with a new machine I would return it.

  • When i open safari i get 2 different desktops. When i close one it closes the other. How can i stop this from happening?

    When I open safari i get 2 desktops, one with the last page i visited and the other desktop has another start up page. when i shut down one it automatically shuts down the other. This only just started happening. Any idea of how to fix it?

    Which Mac OS X is installed?  If you aren't sure, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The OS X version is noted there.
    And which version of Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safar > About Safari

    Why is that when I am composing a new message do I end up with multiple versions of my message I am composing up in my Google Trash mailbox?  How can I stop this from happening?

    It was very hard to see what the box says because the message displays for less than one second. However, I was able to record it with my iphone and pause it until I got a shot of the message. The box says the following:
    "Do you want the application “java” to accept incoming network connections?
    Clicking deny may limit the application’s behavior. This setting can be changed in the Firewall pane of Security preferences."
    I did make some changes. I will see if it works.
    Thank you!!!

  • When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    When I sync my iPad to download new pictures to my library, my existing library gets deleted. How can I stop this from happening?

    The way I sync mine is to have an 'master' folder on my computer, and underneath it I have separate folders for the photos that I want to sync to the iPad - I then select the master folder in iTunes and the folders underneath it are synced to the iPad, each getting their own album.
    There is some info on syncing folders on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • Since downloading IOS 5 Itunes keeps randomly opening up  and popping up on my desktop screen, not just when I turn on computer but randomly even though I sign out of itunes. How can I stop this from happning

    After installing ios5, itunes randomly opens up on my desktop on my laptop computer. Not just when I start my computer but when I'm on it. itunes just opens. I've searched settings in itunes and my desktop and don't know where to go to stop this from happening. itunes will just open. I've rebooted laptop and tried signing out of itunes and it still happens. Anyone have any suggestions on how to make this stop??

    While it is clearly the wifi syncing that is causing it, the device almost never shows up in the device list, and I've already unchecked that box.  I have two devices that I'd love to wifi sync, but neither show up today on the device list, despite iTunes continually popping up every 5 minutes or so.  Buggy...

  • I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

    I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    You should be able to open both accounts.
    I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
    You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
    (With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

  • When I import new home videos into my iTunes and edit the names it creates duplicate Library's on my Apple Tv. How can I stop this from happening each time I edit a name in iTunes home videos??

    I am having an issue with duplicate Libraries showing up in my Home Sharing "Home Videos".  It happens when I import home videos into iTunes and change the names of the files. How do I avoid this from happening and delete the duplicate libraries?

  • I am asked repeatedly if I want to shut down my computer when I do not. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am asked over and over again if I want to shut down my computer now. No matter how many times I click "cancel" the box returns with the same maddening question. I'm using Lion on a Mac Pro. How can I get this to stop?

    Perhaps the problem is that your Security setting is set to log you out immediately that your Sleep mode activates. And maybe your sleep setting is quite frequent.
    Otherwise you may have set a shutdown timing in Energy Saver>Schedule that keeps repeating when you cancel the Shut Down window.
    I haven't tried these yet and they are rather obscure, but they may be the software problems to check before servicing your hardware (keys and power button).

  • Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

    I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

    That is a bug on Mac.
    See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links

  • Every time I update firefox for Win7, the taskbar icon disappears. How can I stop this from happening?

    The question pretty much says it all. For the record, no desktop icon is installed either.

    Most running programs have an icon on the taskbar, and Firefox is no exception. So in order to pin Firefox to the taskbar manually, first you have to launch Firefox from the Start Menu.
    You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the installation folder, then right-click ''firefox.exe'' and choose "Pin to taskbar".
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    I don't know why you lose your pinned icon when updating. But I do know that Firefox pins itself to the taskbar when installing, provided you've accepted to make it your default browser. If you get rid of the automatically created shortcut and create one manually, I'm hoping that one won't be affected.
