How can I keep Bing from replacing my home page?

AfterI select my home page it reverts to a Bing Search tool bar when I return. What can I do to keep it as a home page?
Fran Ciurczak

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

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

  • How do I keep programs from changing my home page

    Everytime Firefox starts, another program keeps changing my home page. How do I stop this from happening?

    This could be caused by either of the following (and possibly other things, but these are the ones that come to mind first):
    (1) Bad Extension
    You can review/disable/remove nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    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.
    (2) user.js file
    This is a configuration file that overrides changes you made in Firefox every time you exit and restart the browser. To track down and remove such a file, check out the steps in this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Note: if it comes back, the home page URL might provide a cue as to what program on your computer is creating/editing the user.js file.

  • How can I stop IT from forcing my home page?

    IT is forcing my home page to one of their choice. I can partially overcome this by supplying a target to the quick-launch icon. But when I hit <ALT-HOME> I go to their page, not mine. Changing Tools->Options->Home Page doesn't work. They have blocked it from being saved. I have limited administrator privileges, but apparently not enough to thwart their nefarious schemes. Any suggestions?

  • How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?

    How can I keep lion from generating .DS_Store files on windows network partitions, but not disable it for all network partitions?  I am fimilar with changing the setting for all network partitions(defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true), but that is undesirable when I connect my laptop to my home network. A preferable solution would be where I could control the writing of these files based on disk format (NTFS vs HFS+).

    Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for ds_store. There are numerous utilities for preventing them from being transferred to Windows systems.

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

    Hi
    My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
    On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
    Good luck

  • How can I delete templates from MY TEMPLATES in Pages?

    How can I delete templates from MY TEMPLATES i Pages?

    Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion & Mountain Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates/
