  • How come Firefox will not let me change my homepage to Yahoo or Google?

    I have this distorted Firefox logo with that little creature telling me to click on it. When I did I got the same response as others WASD, but nothing else happens. I have followed the instructions in previous answers and it fixes the problem until I shut down and restart. The same distorted logo appears. I have tried and tried to get rid of Firefox and go back to Yahoo or Google but it will not let me do it. The usual box that lets you type in the www.yahoo.com or www.google.com does not come up. Other than going to the tools where it tells me to go where can I get that box and I absolutely want to go back to one of the other websites. I can't restore my system back to when I had Yahoo because that was too long ago.

    Quoting '''the-edmeister''' from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1025706
    That Click Me game is part of the Humble Mozilla Bundle promotion on the default Home Page [about:home], that loads from the Mozilla servers in the "Brand Logo" (DIV) section of about:home. A feature that was first used in Firefox 29 [IIRC] just prior to the start of the Olympic Games.
    Also, part of that promotion is addressed in the "Snippet" below the Search Container on the about:home page.
    If you want to block the "Brand Logo" section (and the "snippet" below the Search container) from ever being seen again, you can install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/ Stylish] and this UserStyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo
    Alternatively you can just change your home page at:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
    If your preferences aren't being saved, please see the article [[How to fix preferences that won't save]] as you may have third party software such as an anti-virus that is preventing changes to your preferences. If it is your anti-virus, you will need to temporarily disable that feature before changing your home page settings.

  • Yosemite will not remember display settings.

    I set my display on my macbook pro 15" 2014 (Yosemite)  to have external monitor and not mirror itself. Each time I shutdown and restart it goes right back to mirror mode, as well as my wallpaper is reset to default wallpaper. How do I fix this?
    Thank you in advance.

    This should sort it out for you, it worked perfectly for mr.
    Re: Notifications preferences don't hold
    Just reboot then make your new settings modifications, then restart to verify that it has worked. You may ask what to do with the folder you dragged to the desktop? Honestly I simply deleted it and things have never been better. Good luck.

  • How come iPad will not let me turn on automatic d/l's for Music/Books

    I am trying to turn on Automatic Downloads for Music and Books on my iPad in iOS5.
    It keeps coming up with following error.
    'This device is already associated with Apple ID'.
    It does allow me to turn automatic downloads for Apps.
    So at this point the apps are working using the cloud, but music and books are not.
    How do I get rid of the error.
    When I did purchase new music on my Mac, the iPad did pop up msg saying I d/l'd song and that I should turn  on 'Automatic Downloads' for Music.  But when I try to turn on the error above appears.
    How to fix this?
    Your help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

    I think this is something to do with having more than one Apple ID and differing devices, I have one for my Apple Store activity and the rest are associated to my me.com address. I have the same problem on my Ipad 2 as I can't switch on Book sync and it comes up with the same error as you're having.
    I did find this after searching around but I'm no more the wiser why this would be happening.

    If anyone has an easy to follow way to fix this I'd really appreciate it as I am now totally confused.

  • How come Safari will not open the dashboard widgets?

    I need some help I was trying to open some dashboard widgets I kept getting a error message from Safari.  Stating that this page was not able to open?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Please any suggestion

    Could be the com.apple.Safari.plisy file in ~/Library/Preferences/. Try removing that first. If no change, move ~/Library/Safari/ to your desktop. If no change, try creating/logging into a test user account.

  • How come I can't print a full page using the fire fox "print" mode /

    When printing, even in the print preview mode it only shows the middle of the page and I cannot print the entire width of the page ??

    You probably have messed up left and right margin settings.

  • How to use iPhoto in screen saver under maverick os

    With the Lion or Leopard O/S i am able to use my pictures directly from  iPhoto as screensavers.  However after upgrade to Maverick, it is now impossible to select iPhoto events as a source for any of the screensavers!
    any ideas, please help!

    I too am having the same issue.  I have a circa 2007 iMac, and recently upgraded to OS 10.9.1.  I also moved all of my photos to an external hard drive (currently have iPhoto 9).  When I try to set to set up the computer screensaver, the iphoto library on the external drive is greyed out.
    I may upgrade to iPhoto 11 if that it requirement, but if there is an easier solution, I will go for that. 
    Thanks for any feedback!!

  • HT4972 how come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube or pinerest app? it keeps giving me a message to use iOS5

    How come i can not use iOS 6 on my ipad 3 to get the youtube and pinerest app? i keep getting a message to update to iOS5 if i must use iOS5 how do i update to that one because it just took me 4 hours to figure out how to update to iOS6

    We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work.  We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either.  The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps.  ***** doesn't it.

    I forgot to mention my monitor is an HP2311 and it always kept its setting until the most recent operating system update.

  • Firefox will not keep the "no proxy" setting. I have to select every time I load Firefox. How can I get it to keep the setting?

    Hi,
    Please [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved see this.] To open your profile folder: '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder'''.
    You can also try to start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode] and in the first screen choose '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart'''. This is the same as deleting prefs.js in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox profile folder], which erases all the manually set options as well as those set by extensions.
