Home page hacked?

I have recently updated to Firefox 4. However when ever i open firefox the home page displayed is this :http://www.guvenliweb.org.tr/ and no matter what i do i can't get rid of it. A couple of times I attempted to change the home page via the Options box to either "www.yahoo.com" or "www.google.co.nz" but it soon reverted back to the previous page.
any ideas how to fix this for good please?
Thanks
Alistair

Hello rggav,
Windows 10 uses the Internet Explorer 11, so if you want to change your home page, please take a look at the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/internet-explorer/change-home-page#ie=ie-11
1. Tap or click the Tools button , and then tap or click
Internet options.
2. On the General tab, under Home page, enter the URL of the site you want to set as a home page. You can add more than one URL, or add the site you're currently viewing by tapping or clicking Use current. If you add more
than on URL, put each URL on its own line.
3. Tap or click Apply, and then tap or click OK.
If the issue still exists, please try to reset Internet Explorer and check again.

How do I eliminate websites displayed in the box on my home page?

There's a rectangular box on the home page below the search box. It has three websites displayed in it . It could be as a result of my visiting certain websites, not sure. I'd like to empty that box. What is the procedure for doing that?

I don't know what ''you're'' talking about without seeing a picture. The default Firefox 4+ homepage of '''about:home''' doesn't display 3 "websites" in the box below the searchcontainer, unless someone has hacked your local storage - that's why I was asking to see a screenshot.

How do I get rid of Bing as my home page? It "took over" without my setting it as my home page.

I have a YTD toolbar that's appeared when I open Firefox, and I have had Google as my home page. Now YTD (aka Bing, aka Microsoft product) has taken over my home page, and I cannot reset it to Google or anything else. Any ideas?

First and foremost, update Firefox to 3.6.17 by clicking '''Help '''| '''Check For Updates'''.
There was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider recently whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.
See: http://blogs.comodo.com/category/it-security/data-security/
To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General''' 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
'''Last but not least''', please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.
To update Java, open Windows Control Panel and find Java in the list. Then click the update button. Do remember to uncheck the option to install the Yahoo Toolbar otherwise you'll get that piece of junk on your system too. See screenshot.

I want to allow user to open a page only from the home page and not directl

Dear friends,
Can you help me in this.
My home page is using frames. In one of the frame i am calling one html page which is calling one applet. Is it possible to hide the source code of the bottom frame .
As the user types in the absolute path of the request on the address bar , he any how manages to see my source code of the html (view source) thereby the applet tag .
Can't figure it out, how to hide the source code of the bottom frame .
I read that its possible with redirecting it to some other page , but how will i know that user is not calling from the home page
Any body , who can help in this regards.
Bye
Thank's

You can set up a javascript to prevent someone viewing the page source, but anyone web-savvy will be able to switch off javascript and see it anyways.
You could also add a request value to the second page so that you have "<a href="page.jsp?parameter=00a">" and if the parameter is not set the page will not show. That is a bit of a hack but would probably work.
Basically, don't put anything too security dependent on the client site, because once it is run on someone's computer they have access to it.

Goofy Home page image

Why does Verizon keep changing the home page image of a customer?
Or is system being hacked?
Photo just changed to an asian kid with his bottom censored out by gray rectangle.
Does Verizon think I am asian?
Suggest you let user pick from selection of user sterotypes.
Or remove them .
Else i will cancel verizon.

I would make sure that your computer is not infected.

Safari reseting prefs, home page, and bookmarks

Limewire is a major source of malware for computers, even Macs.
If you allow a Trojan to be installed, the user's DNS records can be modified, redirecting incoming internet traffic through the attacker's servers, where it can be hijacked and injected with malicious websites and pornographic advertisements. The trojan also installs a watchdog process that ensures the victim's (that's you!) DNS records stay modified on a minute-by-minute basis.
You can read more about how, for example, the OSX/DNSChanger Trojan works here:
http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/trojanosxdnschanger.shtml
SecureMac has introduced a free Trojan Detection Tool for Mac OS X. It's available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/
The DNSChanger Removal Tool detects and removes spyware targeting Mac OS X and allows users to check to see if the trojan has been installed on their computer; if it has, the software helps to identify and remove the offending file. After a system reboot, the users' DNS records will be repaired.
(Note that a 30 day trial version of MacScan can be downloaded free of charge from:
http://macscan.securemac.com/buy/
and this can perform a complete scan of your entire hard disk. After 30 days free trial the cost is $29.99. The full version permits you to scan selected files and folders only, as well as the entire hard disk. It will detect (and delete if you ask it to) all 'tracker cookies' that switch you to web sites you did not want to go to.)
Stop using LimeWire. LimeWire (and other peer-to-peer sharing applications and download torrents) are hotbeds of potential software issues waiting to happen to your Mac. Everything from changing permissions to downloading trojans and other malicious software can be acquired from using these applications. Similar risks apply to using Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube and similar sites which are prone to malicious hacking: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8420233.stm
Resist the temptation to download pirated software. After the release of iWork '09 earlier this year, a Trojan was discovered circulating in pirated copies of Apple's productivity suite of applications (as well as in pirated copies of Adobe's Photoshop CS4). Security professionals now believe that the botnet (from iServices) has become active. Although the potential damage range is projected to be minimal, an estimated 20,000 copies of the Trojan have been downloaded. SecureMac offer a simple and free tool for the removal of the iBotNet Trojan available here:
http://macscan.securemac.com/files/iServicesTrojanRemovalTool.dmg
Also, there is the potential for having your entire email contact list stolen for use for spamming:

Home page different than start page

I recently switched back from Chrome to Firefox (or I'm trying at least). The biggest thing from Chrome that I can't set up correctly is my start pages. In Chrome I can set my start pages to three separate tabs and my homepage to only one of those tabs. This is great because it'll start with those three tabs open but the home button will only take me to the one I specified as my home page. Trying to replicate hat set up in Firefox I saw using the pipe character "|" to separate the URLs. However, when I hit the home button, it opens whatever tab isn't currently open. For example, if my home pages are Google, Facebook, and Lifehacker, I want those three tabs to open on start but when I hit the home button to only bring me to Google, not open up separate tabs for Facebook and Lifehacker. Is there some kind of bookmarklet or add on home button that can give me this functionality? Thanks

I want to set a google as a home page how can i set it

I just download FIREFOX. But i cant realise how to set a specific home page please help me.

There is no home page setting. By tapping into the address bar you can choose to search Google, Bing, Wikipedia and others. Just typing your query and pressing enter will search Google.
The default is currently Google, though it may change. You can adjust your default search provider in the Firefox settings. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-my-default-search-engines-firefox-android
If you really really want the homepage behavior there is a bit of a hack around this. You can add a website to the home screen and use that as your launcher. Long press on a history or bookmark item.

A update down is on my AOL home page is it legitament?

I have a update down load on my AOL> home page is it legitimate? Or will I get hacked???

I doubt it.
Yes, probably.
You can open the Menu Panel with the "3-bar" button on the right-side of the Navigation Toolbar, then hit the '''?''' button at the bottom of that Panel.
Then open '''''About Firefox''''' and use the '''Check for Updates''' button to get the new version of Firefox 36.
Basically, don't ever use any "bars" or buttons on any website for Firefox updates.

Cannot View Database Home Page After Upgrading to XE 3.2 on Windows XP

Hi all,
I have recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 3.2 on my Oracle 10g XE database running on Windows XP SP3.
Unfortunately after successfully completing the upgrade and starting the services when I try and visit the Start -> All Programs -> Oracle Database 10g Express Edition -> Go To Oracle Database Home Page I am receiving a page cannot be found error (or broken link message, depending on the browser I try IE7, Firefox 3.0.10 or Chrome 2.0).
The link I am being directed to is:
http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex (I have an entry in my Hosts file referring this to localhost).
How can I tell if Port 8080 is still open and accessible? I am using the embedded web pl/sql gateway and tried reconfiguring it again by running apxconf.sql as SYS:
SQL> @apxconf.sql
PORT
8080
Enter values below for the XDB HTTP listener port and the password for the Application Express ADMIN user.
Default values are in brackets [ ].
Press Enter to accept the default value.
Enter a password for the ADMIN user []

I've backed out the 3.2 upgrade and reinstalled and receieved the same issue. The next step is to unistall the XE database and reinstall, but I'm loathed to do that without seeking some responses from this Forum.
Many thanks.
Have a great day.

Hello Roel,
Thank you taking the time to reply.
I had previously tried all those url combinations and still no luck.
I also found out about displaying the HTTP port number. And you were right it was listening on the default 8080. I disabled it and re-enabled it on port 9080 to see if that made a difference but it didn't so I decided to remoce Oracle XE database and go through the reinstallation and subsequent upgarde to APEX 3.2. Everything appera sto be working fime now.
One point of note is that if I view the Listener status now I notice another line from what I had previously referring to the HTTP listener, although my listener.ora file never changed (apart from having the TNS Listener port resuming to the default 1521).

Can anyone answer why this may have been omitted previously? Presumably this is why my browser couldn't render anything from APEX.

How can I move apps from one sheet of the home page to another?

. On my iPhone 5c I cannot rearrange the icons from one part of the home page to another. Suggestions?

Define "cannot rearrage." Exactly what did you do and exactly what happened?
Did you press on the icons until they wiggle, slide them to the page you want and then press the home button?

Is there a way to open new tabs in the home page or some other link?

When I open a new tab using the "+" symbol I get a blank page. I would like new tabs to open in my home page, or, if possible, a different page, like my favorite web browser, which is what I usually want when I open a new tab.
Can this be done? I can't find the right preference for it, assuming that's the right place for such an option.

Nothing beats about:blank in my opinion for clarity and for tab history.
Here is an extension that does what you asked for, it is VERY large for what you get out it (which to me, what I would get out of it is confusion).
'''NewTabURL''' :: Add-ons for Firefox (49.2 KB)
:Select default URL when new tabs are opened: "Blank page", "Home page", ""Current page" or a user defined URL.

How do I get back my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Tool Bar?

I am a senior citizen with little computer knowledge. I cannot cope with changes to my home page because I do not have the knowledge/skills to undo the changes your program has installed.
AT&T is my Internet Service Provider. Firefox is my browser. Right? When I installed the newer version of Firefox it usurped my AT&T Yahoo Home Page and Task Bar. I want my old home page and task bar back.
I used system recovery to go back a couple hrs. prior to when the new Fire Fox was installed and lost Firefox & At&T. Was in a great state of frustration when I couldn't get system recovery up after going to control panel. System recovery finally popped up again and I went forward to after installation of new Fire Fox and have system up again.
I am unable to read up on new Fire Fox program now. All I want is my old AT&T Yahoo Home Page back with their Task Bar. I can learn new Fire Fox as time permits.
For a non-profit organization I find Fire Fox quite aggressive. That is good when mobilizing us to write or call Congress but not to take over my Home Page.
Will have to admit new Fire Fox sure is faster.
I do want to commend you for taking a stand against what Congress is trying to do and also for your non-intrusive, not obnoxious way of asking for donations. You help inform us and let us know of your need and anyone that is not a free loader with a conscience, I think, would make a donation according to what one can afford. Keep up the good work and the good fight..........please do help me restore my home page back to AT&T with the old task bar.
I appreciate all the help you can give me. Please excuse this long note.
Blessings, Helen
Added Note: AT&T home page returned. Still need Tool Bar. Troubleshooting information from Firefox help for Tool Bar below. Also info to restore Refresh and Home icon below.

This is the answer from Firefox Help to get Tool Bar back up:
Why are the menus (File, Edit, View, etc.) missing?
If you're using Windows 7 or Windows Vista, you now have an orange Firefox button that takes the most common functions and puts them in one menu.
To temporarily show the old style menus, just press the Alt key.
To have them shown all the time, right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip and check Menu Bar in the pop-up menu.
Menu Bar - Win
Pressing the Alt key didn't work for me but the latter instruction did the trick.
Check the Navigation Bar too on the pop-up menu if you want your Refresh and Home Icons to show. It took quite a few right-clicks for me before the pop-up menu I needed came up so keep trying until the right menu comes up.

Running Windows XP service pack 3. Updated Firefox from 8.0 to 9.0. Now when Firefox opens "The URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" is displayed in a window and no home page appears. What's wrong?

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.
