Google has captured firefox, all pages now google.

Very recently I downloaded the new Firefox and was cruising along just fine until yesterday when Google captured Firefox. Now all the items at the top of the page are Googles instead of Firefox. I went to Mozilla in an attempt to contact these people and they hide behind miles of bs. Right now I started with a Firefox page and it is now Google. What the heck is up with this? How do I get Firefox and it stays Firefox?

So, is this your home page that has changed to Google? Can you maybe take a screenshot ([http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-in-Microsoft-Windows http://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Screenshot-in-Microsoft-Windows]) that shows the problem? If this is your home page, please read [[How to set the home page|How to set the home page]].

  • HT1277 I've been using mac mail for years no trouble. mobleme to icloud has ****ed it all away. now I have no email

    Why Oh Why has my mac mail stoped working. After years its gone tits up. Keeps saying  MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password for user blah blah blah. tried everything. son now ive deleted the thing of the computer can this thing be put right or do I have to go back to using some microsoft sh-te. This all happen after the migration to icloud but slowly it went to rubbish and now nothing.
    Im on OSX 10.6.8

    MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password
    This is doing EXACTLY what I would expect it to.
    You need Lion for iCloud which it should warn you when you do the me.com/move routine.
    It's still fixable though:

  • Upgraded firefox all browsers now cannot connect, OK when back to previous version.Can you help?

    I upgraded to firefox 29. Computer was rebooted and all access to internet ceased. Tried other browsers and they would not load either. Checked internet connection OK. Reloaded the older firefox and all works on all browsers. Reluctant to try to upgrade again.

    Funny that everyone was willing to reply until you asked the real question, then silence. I've been having the same problem, too. I understand a firewall blocking the new update, but there is no reason why that change should block ALL connections on that computer. I'm hoping someone can post a fix. These system restores are getting very old.

  • Classic not printing all pages from 4D application

    I have a client experiencing a strange issue with printing from Classic in Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, to an HP LaserJet 4200n via AppleTalk.
    They are using the Classic version of 4D for their office database and inventory system. When they attempt to print multiple records, 4D will seem to spool the pages quickly, one page after the next, and the printer begins printing them one page at a time. However, as soon as 4D has finished spooling the jobs, the printer stops printing, even though records remain unprinted.
    Now here's where it gets interesting. The printer, by default, it setup via the Chooser using the LaserWriter 8 driver. It doesn't matter if we pick either the Generic PPD, or the proper HP LaserJet 4200 series PPD, but if we then go to the Chooser and reconfigure the printer using either PPD, future print attempts during that session of Classic print out just fine - even when 4D has finished spooling, all pages print properly.
    However, once Classic is eventually stopped, the phenomenon whereby only the first few pages are printed, returns. We find no errors in PrintMonitor regarding the problem, and are stumped. If you have any thoughts or approaches to take, my client would certainly be grateful!
    Thanks much for your time,
    MBJ

    This is the only article I'm aware of printing from Classic for 10.4:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh660.html
    I wonder if that's how you are setup. If you are and it doesn't work, you might want to ask the question in the Classic forum:

  • Home Page - the search engine on my Firefox start page used to be google and has now changes to Ask . How to I get google back

    I suspect some toolbar has changed the search engine on my home page which is the standard Mozilla Firefox start Page. It used to be google but now is Ask. I want to change it back to Google.

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>ask.com</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>ask.com</i> related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • Up-dated Firefox and now I have Bing as browser on Firefox start page. How do I get Google back

    Updated from Firefox 22 to Firefox 23 and now I have Bing as my browser. I want Google as my browser. How to set Google as my browser on Firefox start page.

    I'm back and I resolved the problem my-self. This is what you have to do... 1) Type in search "about:config" and click "ok" when the warning comes up; 2) in search type "browsers.search.selectedEngine" 3) now right click on "browers.search.selectedEngine" and choose from menu "new" and now choose "string" and just write "Google" and click "ok". That's it and your done. Now I have my faithful Google back and so will you. I was a little frightened at first because I know if I make a mistake that I would have to possibly re-install Firefox but all worked okay and was very easy to do. Just make sure that you re-check before you click "ok".

  • The Google logo image has dissappeared on my Firefox start page about 4-5 days ago

    Mozilla Firefox Start Page has no Google image as it did until about 4 days ago. Restarting did not get it back.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Had uninstalled alot, but alot powered by google has replaced yahoo on my firefox home page.

    Downloaded alot while downloading vlc media player. Uninstalled alot, I thought. Now alot powered by goggle has replaced yahoo on my firefox home page. I want to get rid of alot altogether.
    Thank you.

    Hi rebob,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How can I make Mozilla Firefox Start Page use Google search instead of SearchCompletion search?

    I have just upgraded Firefox 9 to 10. I noticed when I fire up Firefox at the Start Page and enter a query at the search bar, the resulting pages are from SearchCompletion engine.
    How do I make Google search engine as the default engine at the Firefox Start Page ... like it has always been?
    Seems like one of those irritating changes that happens when upgrading versions...

    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.

  • Have Firefox home page set for Google search, but each following tab opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo and have Google home page on every tab????

    As I said above: I Have Firefox browser home page set for Google search, but each following tab (but suddenly now it) opens w/Yahoo search instead. How do I remove the Yahoo search off the added tabs and have Google home page/ blank tab (like it used to be) on every tab????

    The new Firefox Start Page - '''about:home''' - isn't the same homepage that was used in earlier versions of Firefox - http://www.google.com/firefox There is no "setting" for the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" - in the Options UI or in about:config .
    Set that old "Mozilla Firefox Start Page" as your "homepage". <br />
    http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    Or open your Profile folder and delete the '''webappsstore.sqlite''' file and hope the "Search Container" on the about:home "page" returns to Google. When it '''''is''''' Google, the Google logo appears to the left of the "Search Container"; when the search engine there has been changed to something else, there is no logo to the left of the "Search Container" - AFAIK.

  • How do I get back the functionality for the alphabetical drop down from my previous searches in the center Google search box of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page?

    In the afternoon of August 24 I lost a feature on my Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I cannot figure out how to get it back. It concerns the Google Search area in the MIDDLE of the page. Previously, when I would want to do a search, for example Amazon, I would type the letter 'A' and, because I had typed 'Amazon' in that Search box before, an alphabetical drop-down menu would come up with 'Amazon' in it. I could then click on that word without having to type the rest of it. That option is no longer working.
    I had done an Adobe Reader update that Friday morning, so I thought that might be why this happened,. I did a System Restore and took the system back to Tuesday, August 21. That did not help.
    I ran CCleaner and cleaned the Registry also. Interestingly enough, I found that right after I do that and then open a Mozilla Firefox Start Page, the alphabetical drop down function is back in the center Search bar for one time, one search. After that it is gone again. I go in and do just CCleaner (no Registry cleaning required) and the same thing happens...the functionality is there for one search only.
    I went in and made sure all my Add-ons/Plug-ins are up to date. I also ran a full system scan but no issues came up.
    I am computer illiterate, so please bear with me. I have no idea if any of the things I tried would have helped or not.
    I have Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1
    I appreciate any help you can provide.

    *Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"

    The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

  • Can i insert 'mozilla firefox start page' onto my toolbar instead of the standard google on the search box

    I'm having problems like a lot of others with Google as it has removed it's 'UK only' button from it's home/search screen. I prefer the Google Mozilla Firefox Start Page as it gives me the options I need. On the Firefox toolbar search box, which drops down to give search engine options, can I link the Mozilla Firefox Start Page to this box? Thankyou.

    Look here for additional Google search engines: http://mycroft.mozdev.org/quick/google.html (no country redirect)
