How do I get back the firefox page that has the connection to gmail, not just the search engine?

When I open fire fox I get a page that says it is 'my web search'. There is no way to connect to g mail on that page. Previously, the page did searching and had a connection to g mail. I miss it. How do I get it back?

Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.
To get a similar feature search http://addons.mozilla.org for '''new tab page''' or '''Speed dial''' extensions.

    *Ask Toolbar Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows
    Unfortunately, it is becoming more and more common for these kinds of "extras" (toolbars, security scanners, etc.) to be added to your browser/system/desktop when adding or updating other software, some from very well-know software vendors. You must carefully read information before downloading any "free" software and be very alert during the install process for any opportunity to opt-out of "extras" being installed.
    '''<u>If you have the Ask Toolbar</u>'''<br />
    * First try to disable or uninstall the Ask Toolbar in Firefox via "Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions". See: [[Uninstalling add-ons]]<br />
    *In some cases, you may need to uninstall the Ask Toolbar using Windows Control Panel .
    **See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+uninstall+an+add-on#Uninstall_from_Windows_Control_Panel Cannot uninstall an add-on - Uninstall from Windows Add/Remove Programs].
    '''<u>You '''MAY''' need to reset your homepage</u>''' if an Ask search page opens when first starting Firefox. Firefox can open multiple home pages. Home pages are separated by the "|" symbol.
    *See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    '''<u>You ''MAY'' need to reset a preference</u>''' if searches from the URL/location bar take you to an Ask search page.<br />
    To reset the preference related to Ask search from the URL/location bar via about:config, specifically the keyword.URL preference -<br />
    *Open a new tab or window.
    *Type '''''about:config''''' in the URL/address bar and press the Enter key
    *If you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
    *Filter = keyword.url
    *Right-click on the preference below the Filter, and choose Reset
    *Restart Firefox (File > Restart Firefox)

  • How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ?

    How do I get back the 'open new tab' button (+ sign at right end of tabs) in Firefox 4 ? I realize there is a 'new tab' button at the right end of the toolbar but I like the new tab function placed next the tabs ?

    *Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

  • How can I get back the Web Clip widget in Dashborad?

    Dear all,
    I accidentally deleted the Web Clip widget together with the Web Clip.wdg in Library/Widgets/ folder by AppCleaner some time ago. Now I cannot use this function to clip content in pages. I have the widget icon in Safari and can crop the webpage without problems, but after I did this action, nothing appeared or happened in the Dashboard since the original web clip widget file is gone.
    I would like to know where and how I can get back the Web Clip.wdg file so that I can perform the Web Clip function again?
    I just saw a user who posted a similar topic on Dec 28, 2008 and his/her problem is solved. I have this same problem like his/hers.
    I would appreciate if anyone can help me, thanks!

    Hi,
    Thank you very much for your help.
    I have tried to use Time Machine to get back the Web Clip but still couldn't, and very strange is when I click Time Machine, I can only choose Windows Applications as the back up disk but not Macintosh Applications, so I cannot restore anything from Macintosh applications.
    I think the best is if anyone has this widget on their Mac and can kindly send it to me by e-mail?
    I would appreciate it so much.

  • How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
    Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

  • How do i get back the earlier inbox listing of email

    the new listing of incoming emails is unacceptable. how do I get back the original display?

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". We might have an answer for you if we knew which web mail service provider this problem is with. Or, you could seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.

  • How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

    How can i get back the adobe creative cloud shared folder after I deleting it?

    I think Adobe pulled the Creative Connect Desktop app until the new CC release next month. I just built a new PC and noticed it wasn't available in the app manager any more. On my other machines it isn't working anyway. In another post Adobe devs said they new it was down because thay were working out some server issues. It looks like they couldn't resolve them.
    I bought into the CC right from the beginning since I never buy my software outright but rather use a credit card. I thought that getting the whole master suite for $30 a month interest free was a great deal. Having all the software has been great, but it was over a year before we even saw a desktop syncing folder and noe it seens as though we are going to have server problems every time they upgrade the cloud leaving us to have to use the cluncky web interface during these sync blackouts.
    I can tell you Adobe better get it together cause ther starting to p*ss off a lot of loyal customers. It feels like were dealing with a cellphone company who only gives deals to the new customers and once you've signed the contract your screwed.
    Here is the link to whats going on

    How can I get back the quality of ios 5.1.1 back to my two iphones4 and my ipad2?
    Since more than 6 monthes I can't use
    * video for more than 5 minutes,
    * tv-streams for more than 5 minutes,
    * apple store updates in case of more than one update,
    * itunes download in case of more than one download object,
    * remote control
    * air play with appletv3
    without errors.
    On ios 6.x (incl. 6.1.2) all important apple media integration are just useless.

    I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any iDevice.

    I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

    I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage.  Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever.  After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed.  They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself.  After that, the pics go over imessage.  My own Iphone didn't have the problem.  We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

  • I downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    i downloaded acdsee camera flash (us$0.99) in Hong Kong's app store, but i cannot find it in the app store after i changed to another iphone. it seems that the app is no longer available in HK, how can I get back the app?

    First make sure you are searching the name correctly.
    If the app is no longer in the App Store it is no longer available for download. This happens when Apple has found the app violates the agreement with the developer or when the developer no longer wants the app listed in the App Store.
    If the app is truly no longer in the App Store your only option is to copy it from iTunes on the computer you normall sync with.
