  • Even though I checked the keep me signed in box, I have to sign in to get to my home page

    I have the keep me signed in box checked but I have to sign in to get to my home page. It comes up with the set up your home page.

    The default Homepage in Firefox is '''about:home''', which isn't a page on the internet, it is built into Firefox and doesn't have a login. It does look a lot like the [http://www.google.com/firefox Google / Firefox start page] which was used previously, but it isn't the same.
    Firefox doesn't use the Homepage setting in Internet Options.
    See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page How to set the homepage]
    As far as "remember me" for web site logins, that is usually done with a cookie, if you clear your cookies when Firefox closes, you won't be "remembered".

    Acrobat subscription stopped working, each time I open it goes straight to the purchase page

    Hi Poepholl,
    I've checked your account, and nothing seems to be out of order with your Acrobat Pro subscription. Are you launching Acrobat on your desktop? If, for some reason, your subscription has reverted to trial mode, I would expect you'd be presented with the trial dialog box. From that dialog box, you should be able to click License this Software, and then sign in with your Adobe ID and password. If that's not the case, please let us know.
    Best,
    Sara

  • I visited a website once, and now every time I open a tab, it tries to redirect to that website. How do I remove this "feature"?

    Some website called MyStart keeps trying to redirect every blank tab I open to its website. I doesn't seem to work, but I get sick of seeing it try anyway, and it worries me because I don't recall giving it permission to do this. I added the SiteBlock plugin and added the URL it's trying to redirect me to on the blacklist, and even though now my new tabs are blank the way they're supposed to be, I still see the URL in the tab heading, so whatever this thing is, its still on my computer or in my browser. But I can't find it anywhere in my add-ons and extensions and such. It's also not in my programs on my computer.

    There have been several threads about this add-on during the past few months...
    It is important to check the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features to remove the source(s). These may include the following:
    * Incredibar
    * MyStart
    * Web Assistant
    After that, restart Firefox and start clearing out its settings as described in the following threads. Many users find it simpler to "Reset" than to take multiple steps to clean-up Firefox. That's up to you.

    why and how do I stop this? yes my safari preferences are checked that popups should be turned off. Also it pops up any time that I click anywhere to do anything in safari. Please help.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Firefox keeps making me sign in to email though I've checked the keep me signed in option

    It also started to freeze a lot. these problems started when I updated to 4.0. I don't know what version I had before that. I went back and got 3.6.3 and it doesn't freeze but I still have to sign into att yahoo email frequently each day. very annoying. attyahoo help chat tried to help by switching from the "leave signed in option" to a different frequency and then back to "leave signed in". It worked for one or two times then went back to telling me to sign in again.

    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and passwords.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 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 the database before doing a scan.

  • I upgrade firefox from 7 to 8 and now when i start firefox everytime it opens "getting start with firefox" page, in options i select the option 'show a blank page" how can i resolve this issue?

    i upgrade firefox from version 7 to version 8, now when i start firefox everytime it open self the "getting start with firefox" website, in the options on firefox i select the 'show a blank page' but its not working. i am using firefox on windows XP- SP2.

    Try restarting Firefox, the one time page(s) after starting a new release should disappear. Actually this last time with 8.0 they did not come up for me.
    If that doesn't work then bring up '''about:config''' and place the url of the page into the filter. Right-click on anything that comes up and use "Reset".

  • "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.

    "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.  I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem.  Can anyone provide some insights?

    Thanks Bill.  After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday.  I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:
    Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Windows
    My problem was solved after the first step.  THANK YOU.  Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

  • I'm unable to clear my search history after many attempts with the firefox instructions as I'm unable to check the "Form and Search History" box for some reason

    I've tried several times to clear my search history without any success. I've been able to do so in the past, but this is the first time I've tried in a while and for some reason it will not let me check the box for "Form and Search History." Then sometimes it will let me check that box, but when I click "ok" to apply the clearing of the search history, nothing happens and it still remembers all my sites. At that point I try to clear it again and its back to not letting me check the "Form and Search history" box (I've gone through this cycle a few times). I tried looking through some of suggested articles that Firefox sent me too, but I don't know much about computers and just doing the things they seem talking about isn't working either. Please help, thanks!

    It seems to have worked itself out. Thanks anyway!

  • My yahoo toolbar add in disappears each time I open firefox, requiring me to install the tool bar with each session. Would you know what might be causing this?

    I have always used the yahoo toolbar to store my bookmarks. I recently had my computer serviced for an network problem I was experiencing, and since its return to to I have found that I must install the yahoo toolbar each time I open firefox. The toolbar does not stay for subsequent sessions like it had in the past. Is there a setting or problem that may be causing this?

    You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • Why is the master password entry window popping up twice each time I open my Firefox?

    Each time I open my Firefox, and go to a website where my password has been stored, the master password window pops up. When I enter it, it disappears, and requires me to enter it a second time. In essence, the window prompt is popping up twice. One over the top of another. I have even tried to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it. Same problem.
