Homepage opens with two extra tabs with unwanted quicklinks.

Opening my Homepage now also opens two (2) extra Tabs with tile links to Facebook Twitter, and other unwanted sites. This may be Yahoo, which I do not use. I could add the screen shot of these tabs, but need assistance to do so. It is a Paint, *.png file. Home Page does not have "pipes" || in the address.

You can check the home page setting:
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
You can check for recently installed suspicious or unknown extensions.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
You can delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

  • When on safari if i click anywhere on the page another page opens in a new tab with an ad

    The other day i download something on Facebook.  Since then my safari has not been the same.  My homepage changed from safari to something like quick search and whenever i am on a page no matter what or where i click another page opens in a new tab with an advert or survey and i have to click ok to get rid of the message then cancel the page.
    Before this happened, my internet was just set as a standard apple laptop is from new, and when on safari if i clicked the little + in tabs part a new page would come up and give me the choice to pick from some of my favourite sites etc

  • How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses

    I will be greatful if you could answer me this question...
    How can i pay on the apple store online with two credit cards, with two different billing addresses?
    I know that you can use two credit cards to pay an item but the problem is that i can only put the billing address of just one of the credit cards, and since the two cards are from different people (my parents) i can't do it. They live in the same place so i don't know if i should just put one of the billing address.
    Thank you.
    PS. I don't know if this is the right community to ask this, sorry if i'm wrong.

    On the Apple Store "Payment & Pricing" page it states:
    Using more than one payment card
    You can also combine payment methods to pay for your purchase. Choose from the following combinations of credit cards and Apple Gift Cards:
    Credit card(s) - up to two
    Apple Gift Card(s) - up to eight
    Apple Gift Card(s) + one credit card
    During checkout, if you are paying with a gift card issued by a credit card company, you can combine it with one credit card.

  • When I try to open a Hyperlink in Excel, the Firefox pop up the page I request with an extra tab of error message. How to fix it?

    Hey guys. The problem actually bothers me for a while.
    If I input a URL in an (microsoft) Excel Cell then turn it into a hyperlink, when I click on it. The Firfox, which is my default net browser will pop up and show the page I request. But there always has an extra tabs show some other things. Here is a sample:
    The url I request is: http://privacy.microsoft.com/zh-cn/default.mspx
    OK, the page is showed up and an extra tab's url is:
    http://privacy.microsoft.com/zh-cn/default.mspxFirefoxHTML%5CShell%5COpen%5CCommand
    the later part: 【FirefoxHTML%5CShell%5COpen%5CCommand】 is automatally added behind the url I request. And the correspond page reads: The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
    how to fix this problem? and many thanks.:)

    Can you post the original link you have in Excel. We need to see what the
    full link looks like.

  • Every time Firefox opens, I get new tab, with my desired page as a tab that I have to click on to get to. How do I go back to how it was in previous versions?

    After updating to the newest version of Firefox, when it opens I get two tabs, and the one that comes up on my screen is new tab, with my homepage on the other, which requires that I click on it to go there. Also when I click on a link the same thing happens, a new tab page comes up, with what I clicked on as another tab that I have to click on to get to. This is actually quite annoying and inconvenient. How do I go back to the way that it was, so that when I start Firefox it opens on my home page, and when a new page opens, I see the content of the link that I clicked on? IMO This new and improved is really new and made worse.

    An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
    Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that get rid of the extra tab?
    Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

  • LSOpenURLsWithRole launches browser with an extra tab

    I'm opening a specific browser (Chrome, Firefox etc.) with a specific URL by
    using this code:
    LSApplicationParameters parms = {0, kLSLaunchDefaults, &ref, NULL, NULL, argsArray, NULL};
    LSOpenURLsWithRole(urlArray, kLSRolesAll, NULL, &parms, NULL, 0);
    The urlArray is holding only one URL, and argsArray is empty most of the time
    (unless a special browser flag is used).
    Everything is working, the right browser is opened with the right URL.
    The problem is that in Chrome & Firefox browsers, I keep getting an extra tab.
    That means I have a tab with the requested URL, and a tab that holds the default
    homepage of the browser.
    What's wrong with the browser launching code?

  • How to open link in new tab with right click?

    I'd love to be able to right click, i.e., two finger tap on the magic trackpad, and have a link open in a new tab.  I know I can hold the command button to accomplish this, but then it takes two hands.  I tried the following on the command line which had no effect:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    Is there a way I can do a two finger tap and have the link open in a new tab?
    I'm using safari 5.1 under Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion)
    -Thanks

    I FINALLY found a solution!  I was searching for a command-click plugin, and I found this app named "middleclick"  It simulates clicking a middle mouse button, with a 3 finger tap.  Now I can open links in a new tab with only one hand.  Great!

  • Safari tabs - Can I open links in new tabs (with no key pressed)??

    I am a heavy FF user and one of the most important feature I use is the tabbed browsing. The problem with Safari is, it does not allow me to set a default option to open all links (that i click) in new tabs rather than windows. There is a clear cut option available in the preferences pane of safari but that does not work. I don't want to press any button to open a link in a new tab.
    Note: I know about "Merge all windows" option. But that is also one extra step right?

    I'm running 10.4.11 and when I right click on a link I have the option (in the menu) to select 'Open Link in New Tab'.
    Is that missing on 10.5.2?

  • CRM- Two Z tabs with the same name

    Hello,
    We have a problem with 2 new tabs in a sales contract in CRM.
    In the sales contract, we have created two tabs, one 1 and 2, and the problem is the name
    of the tab, that is the same for both, althoung the fields in the tabs are different and fine created.
    We don't why we have the problem. We have created to BADI:
    ZCRM_CUSTOMER_H_BADI
    ZCRM_CUSTOMER_H_BADI(2).
    For the first, in the event set_title we have establish: tab1.
    For the second, in the event set_title we have establish: tab2.
    We think that on customizing CRMV_SSC could be missing any, but we don't know why system is showing the same name for both tabs.
    Any help??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Felix,
                 Please check the table CRMD_CUSTOMER_H and verify if the two fields are updated in this table correctly. If it is then you should not be facing problems in the BADI as well. Just keep a track of the names of the fields.

  • Extending the OIM Admin Console with an extra tab

    Hi All,
    I've been busy for some time to add an extra tab to the management console of OIM, the extra tab I succeeded adding it using the supplied documents. But on this tab a table has to be showed which gives the user the possibility to manage the content of that table (just a view on a DB table thus). I've build this application in JDev as an ADF (web)application which I then deploy as ADF library and which then should give me the possibility to add this application using a region.
    So in this ADF library I have a page fragment which only contains a region which points to the workflow for the table editing, this fragment is then referred to as described in the "customizing_oim_ui_selfservice_to_add_an_adf_tab.pdf". This all looks to work just fine except for when entering the newly created tab, the tab stays blank and in the logfile I see some messages:
    <Warning> <oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.UIXRegion> <BEA-000000> <
    java.lang.IllegalStateException: The expression "#{data.sodMainFragmentPageDef.editsodtaskflow1.regionModel}" (that was specified for the RegionModel "value" attribute of the region component with id "r1") evaluated to null.
    This is typically due to an error in the configuration of the objects referenced by this expression.
    If it helps, the expression "#{data.sodMainFragmentPageDef.editsodtaskflow1}" evaluates to "null".
    If it helps, the expression "#{data.sodMainFragmentPageDef}" evaluates to "null".
    If it helps, the expression "#{data}" evaluates to "oracle.adf.model.servlet.HttpBindingContext@100f4dd5". Now using an empty RegionModel instead.
    at oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.UIXRegion.getRegionModel(UIXRegion.java:439)
    So my question is, why do I get this message and secondly is this the right approach or should I do it in an other way or don't do it at all?
    Maybe somebody knows if it is possible to use ADF Business components inside OIM to be used for added functionality to the self service??????

    Did you ever get this answered? I know this is an old thread, but I am hoping someone can chime in.

  • Every time I navigate to a new site or page I also get additional new tabs opening which say 'Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 - this page is no longer available', so I soon end up with an extra tab every time I navigate to a new page.

    so I am geting an additional unwanted MS Exchange tab/window every time I navigate to a new site or bookmark. i recentlly upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and I think this problem may have started around the same time. I also have MS Outlook but this is stand alone and I do not synch online at all, and have not changed any settings in it.

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Firefox has always opened with an extra tab that says "server not found." How can I fix this?

    Several years ago, I downloaded Firefox for the first time on my Xp machine. The browser opens to the home page, but up in the tab area, there is always, and I mean through EVERY version and upgrade since that first one, including the most recent version 4, there is a second tab just to the right of the home page tab that says, "server not found." Now, since the home page loaded, it is obvious to me that the server WAS indeed "found." what I don't understand is why this second tab is there. Any ideas? I have read through the FAQ about not finding the server, and nothing there is relevant to this, as far as I can see.
