How can I change the homepage that displays when I open Firefox?

I just had to reinstall a program that had become corrupted, and somehow the process changed my Firefox homepage. Not only is the new one not what I want, when I try to open Firefox I get a notification from WOT that the new page is unsafe.
I do one open Firefox window. I would like to use it to change my default homepage back to the one I had, but I can't find how to do that.

  • How can I change the fact that every time I open firefox, I get redirected to a website promising a free ibook?

    OK. So in October I made the mistake of opening a website offering a free iBook (I'm really not gullible; I thought I could figure out who was sending it too me). Ever since then, I cannot open a new Firefox session without being redirected to the site (If I open up more than one webpage and save them before closing, I don't get redirected to the ibook site).
    I actually keep my web-surfing software on thumb drives, and I tried two different thumb drives doesn't matter. I purchased and ran an anti-virus program. No dice. Can you help me?
    I have a MacBook, which runs on system OSX 10.5.8

    Hi revbennyd,
    So it sounds like your home page has been hijacked? 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 [[Preferences are 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 change the text that displays in the IE Title Bar

    Hi--The title bar (bar at the top of the IE window) displays
    the title of my help system. I need to update the title, and I
    can't figure out where to do this.
    I checked my templates, skins, etc. and made sure they are

    Just found it! File, Project settings....Project Title.

  • How can I change the app that a .pdf attachment opens in on the fly w/o using Preference Pane?

    I have the need to open some .pdf attachments in firefox (24) and some in Skim, pdf reader. I understand that the opening is set in the Preferences Pane. Is there a way or add on that will allow this on the fly ? Or place the option in the attachments dropdown menu on the attachments bar ? It would greatly speed things up.

    You can select 'Always Ask' as action in preferences when opening a pdf attachment. So you'll be prompted every time and can choose which application to use.

  • How can I add a homepage...When i open firefox, I want my first page to be yahoo and the second tab to open as the google page...how do i do this?

    This is not a problem, but firefox does not have an easy way to add on homepages like internet explorer. please tell me how it is possible with firefox? thank you

    Firefox can open multiple home pages. They are separated with the "|" keyboard character. Easiest way to set multiple home pages:
    #open only the pages you want to be set as home pages
    #go to Options > General
    #set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"
    #click "Use current pages"

    You will have to configure that with your router. Type your router's IP address in the search/domain bar and allow port forwarding.
    What is requiring you to have an open NAT? That issue is usually for gaming consoles, etc.

  • How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels

    How can I change the fonts in "contacts" when printing mail labels ? I used to be able to do this but in Mavericks this ability seems to have gone away. Am I missing something ?

    Actually in my case it doesn't work. I used to be able to pull up the font window with it but the button merely flickers when I click it. The image selection button and font color both are functional. WEIRD. I don't think this is a Mavericks issue as I recall having it come up with one of my user profiles before installing. Now I can't make it happen with either of my user profiles.
    I don't seem to have printing issues in other applications. And I recently reset the fonts in a futile attempt to correct this.
    I may post a new topic in Mail Contacts and Calendar if there is no response here after a bit.

  • How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

    How do I change the default text for when I open up pages?

    Colin,
    You may substitute any text you like for the "Placeholder Text", as it is called, in Pages. Click on the existing placeholder text and type something more to your liking. Do this in as many places as your particular template of interest demands. Then, Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
    Now that you have defined a Custom Template to your liking, you can go to Pages Preferences and under the General tab's first section, define the new custom template as your default for each new document.
    Regards,
    Jerry

  • How can I change the name that my computer/iTunes assigned to my device?

    When I hooked up my new 4s to my desktop, it asked if I wanted to start with a new device.  I answered yes and the device was assigned a default name based on the name of the computer (which wasn't originally mine) so now iTunes recognizes the device as belonging to some dead guy I never met.  Also the same first name as an ex-bf.  Call me weird but this bothers me.  How can I change the name of the device?

    Select the device when it is connected to iTunes. Click in the device name on the summary tab. Enter what you want.

  • When clicking on an attachment to an email, it will only save rather than save or open. How can I change the setting to allow me to open an attachment before deciding whether or not to save it?

    There is a dialog box that appears when I click on an email attachment that asks whether to open or save a .pdf document, and whether I always want that action to be taken. However, when clicking a .doc or .docx document, I no longer have the choice. How can I revive the dialog box to choose to 'open' the file rather than being forced to 'save' the file?

    Try to clear the cache.
    * Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    See also:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
    You can rename such files with a .html file extension and give them a .jpg file extension to make applications see them as an image.<br />
    If Windows is stubborn and keeps the .html file extension and you end up with image.jpg.html then add quotes around the name ("image.jpg")

  • How can i change the user that open the rfc connection (sm58) from R/3?

    Hi all,
    i'd like to know how can i customize the user 'connecting' R/3 and BW, i mean: when i launch a data extraction a fixed user creates the rfc connection to BW (and i can see it from tcode sm58 in r/3), i need to use a different username so that it will come be more easy for me to reorganize the rfc queue in case of errors (we are doing some testing), it's possible to do something like this or everyone has to share the same user r/3 side?
    I hope i've been clear...
    thanks for the help
    S.

    Hi...
    Its recommended that only one user executes the RFC because you must manage the authorizations for remote execution only with few users....in case on error you can send the user as a parameter of the RFC  and you can buid the error message with this parameter and identify the user of execution...
    I hope this helps you
    Regards
