HELP!!!...Firefox 4...STOPS cursor focus from going to main google IE page

I just installed Firefox 4....Now every time I open firefox the cursor will automatically jump to the URL bar.
I want it to start and stay inside the main google page search box.
I don't want any add ons or extensions, I want it back to the way it was before I upgraded to version 4.
Thanks in advance!

I don't have newtabhomepage, but I have the same problem. I set google.com to my homepage and clicking the home button pops the cursor into the URL. Installing the patched add-on had no effect, as I didn't even have newtabhomepage applied. This seems to be a FF4 homepage issue, or perhaps a FF4-Google issue?

  • HELP!!!...Firefox 4...STOP cursor focus from going to Bing search box????

    I just installed Firefox 4....Now every time I open firefox the cursor will automatically jump to the bing search box.
    I want it to start and stay inside the address bar.
    A long time ago I had this same problem and searched online and found a solution. I don't remember exactly what it was, but it was something like going into about:config and switching some settings inside there. That fixed the issue and ever time I would open Firefox my cursor would START and STAY in the address bar.
    Can anyone help me figure this out again? I don't want any add ons or extensions, I want it back to the way it was this morning before I upgraded to version 4.
    Thanks in advance!

    ***SOLVED***
    I finally found the solution...
    I have a Windows 7 64bit laptop, but this should work for Vista users as well...possibly XP users too, if you switch a couple of the folders around, if you're an advanced user you shouldn't have a problem....
    add this code to your firefox '''''"prefs.js"''''' file, you can find pref.js here, just follow the steps...
    C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\f9cunhcx.default\prefs.js]]
    Now add this line to the bottom of the list. Keep in mind for changes to take effect you must have Firefox closed, otherwise it'll just over write any changes you attempt to make and nothing new will happen.
    '''user_pref("capability.policy.default.HTMLInputElement.focus", "noAccess");'''
    After adding the above line, save the pref.js file and reopen Firefox, you'll now notice your cursor won't be in the search box. You'll have to manually put the cursor to where you want it to be. I have my home page set to www.msn.com it would drive me nuts that as soon as I open the page my cursor focus would go to the bing search bar. It wouldn't be so bad if it went to the google search bar in the top right hand corner...but anyways I hope this helps someone else out. If it does please leave a comment on your experience for the next person.
    Thanks,
    James

    If you want to turn them off, you need to go into Settings > Messages > iMessage = OFF.  If you want your daughter to use a different device, you will need to set up a 2nd Apple ID and use that account to log in on the other device.

    Well I just spent the past hour restoring my system after installing ismonia. I shut the lid and then reopened it. All was great, then the laptop wouldn't shut down. I tried to fix the disk with Disk Utility but it shut down on its own. It wouldn't startup.
    If you try it make sure you have a recent backup.

    How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in.  It is making the process very slow. 

    while True:
    and just indent everything else under it
    Ends when you press ^C.
    if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
    if not vpc:
    break
    which will break out of the while loop and end your program.

  • My husband just got a new iphone and my notes from my older iphone automatically synced with his phone which he doesn't want.  How do I stop my notes from going to his phone

    My husbands new iphone syncs with my old iphone.  All my notes when to his phone.  I don't want this to happen.  How do I stop my notes from going to his phone.  Thanks

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • How can I stop my screen from going on and off when I play games ?

    HOw can I stop my screen from going on and off all the time when I touch it.

    Maybe it is a hardware problem, but you will not know that unless you start eliminating all possible software issues. Try this. Close all apps in the recents tray and reboot your iPad.
    Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How can you stop a picture from going to Photostream?

    Hi,
    Please pardon the delicate nature of this question..it is not meant to be salacious.
    However, I cannot figure out WHY anyone would use photostream. Like any number of normal people, my IOS device might ocassionally take pictures that I do not want to be uploaded to photostream, and certainly NOT shared with other family devices.
    As I understand it, If I have Photostream enabled, any time I take a picture with my IOS device, I have NO WAY to stop it from going immediately to photostream or being synced on other computers or IOS devices?!?
    Given this beheavior, and my understandign of how it works, why would anyone ever sync their photos to Photostream?
    Aren't there a LOT of instances where you might be using your phone to take pictures that you do not want shared with family devices?
    For example, I use my iPhone for research in stores...I see a gift idea, I take a quick picture. Now I have the price, the name of the item, where I found it, and all that great info. I do this ALL THE TIME. However, I certanly wouldn't want my gift research to get synced with my home mac, where someone might see it and ruin a surprise.
    I have not yet enabled Photostream because there doesn't seem to be any way I have read about to Stop a photo from being shared, other than to simply never use the service.
    IS there a workaround?

    What you probably need to remember is that the iCloud account is intended to be a personal account not one that is shared between all devices belonging to the same family.
    If you have no use for photo stream at all, then I suggest you do as you do now, and keep it turned off all of the time. If however you have occasional uses for it, photos taken on your device will only sync with photo stream when photo stream is turned on, so you'll have the ability to take photos without them being synced to all your devices, if you wish to do so.

  • Can I stop my iMessages from going to more than one device

    I have recently purchased an iPad and would like to know if I can stop my iMessages that I send off my iPad from going to my iPhone ... My iPad is set up to my email account and my iPhone to my phone number and I would like to use them separately so that my daughter can use the iPad to text and they won't keep coming to my phone.. Is this possible I have looked through many of the settings and have not been able to find anything... Any ideas?

    If you want to turn them off, you need to go into Settings > Messages > iMessage = OFF.  If you want your daughter to use a different device, you will need to set up a 2nd Apple ID and use that account to log in on the other device.
