How do I get Mozilla to a default browser? When I click on the Mozilla Icon on my desktop, Yahoo come up!! Why?

Same as question

Here's an alternative. Click-and-hold on this link - http://icloud.com - and drag it to the Desktop. Rename the resultant file iCloud. Move it to anywhere convenient. Then drag it to the right-hand side of the Dock. Now you have one-click access to the iCloud website.
If you would like a pretty icon, then before you move it to the Dock, drag this image to the Desktop:
Open it in Preview and hit command-A then command-C
Now click on your 'iCloud' file and hit command-I. In the pane which opens click on the icon at top left once to select it:
Hit command-V to paste in the icon:
Then drag your iCloud file to the Dock.

  • Though I have Firefox set as my default browser, when I click on the Firefox icon, Bing comes up as my browser. Why is this?

    If I go into my Bookmarks after Bing comes up as my browser and then click on Firefox, it comes back as my browser, but I don't like having to go through this extra step.

    Some free software includes an Ask toolbar.
    Try this:
    (1) Disable any Ask add-on (and all other nonessential or unrecognized add-ons) on these two tabs:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category<br>
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    If you get a link above a disabled extension to restart Firefox, you can click that as the last step after completing your work on the tab.
    (2) Run the Search Reset extension to switch your search providers back to Google:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    (3) If your home page was changed, see this article: [[How to set the home page]].
    (4) Check for a user.js file that might override your settings the next time you start Firefox. See this article for the steps: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
    Does that solve it? Any other vestiges to root out?

  • Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click on the itunes icon on my desktop nothing happens,it does not open itunes,can anyone help me with why it does not open or know how I can open itunes,thanks.

    If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name.  (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud.  Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
    If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.)  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library.  If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account.  To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

  • HT1451 If I have two iTunes libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on the desktop?

    If I have two or more iTunes Libraries on one computer, how do I know which one is opening when I click on the iTunes icon on my desktop?

    You cannot.
    When you sync to a new library, it will erase the current content.
    Use your backup copy of the old computer to copy everything to the new one.

  • When I click on the Mozilla Firefox icon on my desktop I get a message that says "The procedure entry point is Threaddesktopcomposited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll.

    When I click on the Mozilla icon on my desktop, I get the error message "The procedure entry point is Threaddesktopcomposited could not be located in the dynamic link library USER32.dll.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I upgraded to the new version of firefox today (7/16/10)

    This issue can be caused by a problem with the file c:\windows\system32\dwmapi.dll
    The file dwmapi.dll is a Vista file and should not be present in Windows XP.

  • After updating to firefox 9 when i click on the "home" icon i get an alert that the url is not valid and can't be loaded. Why?

    my computer updated to firefox 9. update was ok, but now when i click on the "home" icon, i get an alert that the url is not valid and cannot be loaded. everything is good to go as far as web surfing and so forth, but i want the firefox start page as my home page. also the private browsing option won't work because of the invalid url.

    Hi ozzie427,
    What URL do you have bookmarked as your home page? You might want to look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. There are steps in there to restore the home page to default. I would try that first to see if it clears up any strangeness. If that works, you can set the home page to anything you like.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • When I click on the Moilla button on my desktop, the firefox start page that shows up has no Mozilla button to access print, history. options etc., it just says mozilla firefox start page at the top. rt page tc.

    When I click on the Mozilla icon on my desktop, a mozilla firefox startpage come up that has NO mozilla button to click and access print, history, options etc. Also the whole page automatically shifts down slightly to show only google question box and no address bar. Also, there used to be a place where I could click on most accessed pages, but that disappeared a couple of weeks ago. I have an HP computer and never know what the start page will look like.

    Hey plainmad,
    Did you recently upgrade Firefox? I would be willing to be that everything is still there, it's just hidden. Take a look [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36 this article]. It will give you some tips on how to bring back any of the options you might not see.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • When I click on the home icon - all tabs I've previoulsy used and have closed pop back up. Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7

    When I click on the home icon all the previous tabs I have used and have closed pop back up. I have Windows 7, 64 bit and I am using Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta 7.
    A few days a go I had installed iMesh, but FF took forever to load. I uninstalled iMesh and all my stored passwords were gone. I then did a system recovery. And everything was back to normal.
    Yesterday when I downloaded a video using youtube downloader I got a there's a newer version. I installed the newer version. After it was installed the previously closed tabs started popping up.

    Check your list of home pages, Firefox can store multiple home pages. For details of how to do that see the [[How to set the home page]] article.

  • How can I locate my iTunes library files. When I click on my itunes icon the message appears, "The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be found because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."

    How can I locate my iTunes library files?  When I click on my iTunes icon rather than my iTunes files I receive, " The file iTunes Library.itl." cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes."  I have already tried to update my iTunes program.

    Had same problem and solved it without having to reinstore any music or movies:
    1. Delete old Library file
    2. Go to the 'Previous iTunes Libraries' folder and copy one of the earlier files - note, they have a date extension, e.g. 'iTunes Library 2011-11-01'.
    3. Paste this file in your iTuners folder and rename file by removing the date extension -  'iTunes Library'
    You should have all your music and paylists in tact, unless it was a really old previous file.

  • When I click on the iCloud icon it says that it will download without additional charge because I've already purschased it but after that it goes back to the icloud icon and doesnt download. How can I download it?

    Im having trouble downloading the iMovie app on my iPad. When I click on the iCloud icon it says that it will download without additional charge because I've already purchased it(I did purchase it) but after that it goes back to the icloud icon and doesnt download. How can I download it?

    Hello bianca,
    It sounds like you are trying to download a previous purchase to your iPad but the item never downloads. I would recommend starting by closing all the apps that are running in the background.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that, sign out of your iTunes account in Settings > iTunes and App stores, and restart the phone and try again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    When I click on the iTunes icon or iTunes from programs I get this: the item 'itunes.exe that this short cut refers to has been changed or moved. So this short cut will no longer work.

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?
