HOW DO I GET MY OLD SET UP BACK AFTER HITTING THE RESET BUTTON AS A WAY TO GET RID OF OUTFOXTV? i HATE WHAT IT DID TO FIREFOX!

A PRIOR ANSWER SAID TO RESET AGAIN USING OLD FIREFOX INFO. IF THIS ANSWER IS CORRECT HOW DO I DO THIS?

Hi, no need to use caps. We can read. :P
You can reset Firefox by following the instructions below:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
The Reset feature should have kept all of your personal information. It would have only removed extensions and themes, website-specific preferences, search engines, download history, DOM storage, security settings, download actions, plugin settings, toolbar customizations, user styles and social features
When you did the Reset, you should have had an "Old Firefox data" folder appear on your Desktop. You can restore your information if it didn't get restoed by following the instructions at the website gien below

  • How do I get rid of "Trojan-Gackdoor.Ciadoor.gn" from c:\programfiles\firefox\firefox.exe?

    After scanning the hard drive, Advanced System Optimizer found "Trojan-Backdoor.Ciadoor.gn" in "c:\program files\firefox\firefox.exe". When I launch Firefox, the Optimizer requests me to exclude the trojan from stopping the launch. If I agree to the exclusion, then I need to re-launch Firefox.

  • How do I get rid of two tabs opening when I first open Firefox?

    When I first open Firefox I get my home page in one tab but another tab opens also. That one is set for Facebook. How do I get rid of the automatically opening second tab?

    Do you get both pages if you launch a new window using either:
    * Ctrl+n
    * "3-bar" menu button > New Window
    ''If yes:''
    Check your home page setting to see if you have multiple home tabs. A vertical bar (|) is used between the addresses. This article shows where to check this in the Options dialog: [[Startup, home page and download settings]]. This article has more background on multiple home tabs: [[How to set the home page]].
    ''If no, or if the Options dialog is okay:''
    Add-ons may display tabs at startup or in a new window. If you check the address of the Facebook page, is it the normal Facebook URL ([https://www.facebook.com/]) or a different address?
    Do you have any Facebook-related extensions? You can review, disable, and often remove extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Often 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.
    Any improvement?

  • After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... and everything is frozen. How can I get rid of this thing, and what is it? I have to hit CNTRL + ALT + ESC to get rid of it.

    After opening my yahoo mail window, I keep getting a very short and narrow dialogue box with the words "log into Xmarks" I cannot ... when it pops up, always upper left of my laptop screen and I try to get into my yahoo mail web page, I get a DING sound and cannot enter it ... everything is frozen.

  • If Firefox has already downloaded the 30.0 update, how do I get rid of it so that it won't upgrade Firefox when I restart my browser?

    Please don't try to encourage me to use the new update. That is not what I am asking. The layout of Firefox 30 is not user friendly at all, and if I cannot continue to use 28, I will change to a different browser.
    What I need to know is how can I get rid of the update that just downloaded itself without warning and permission? I have ALREADY selected in the options menu for Firefox to not check for updates. Thanks to another user's post I was able to learn how to disable this completely in the about:config menu (why can't it be done in the settings? Why doesn't Firefox listen to its users? That's a whole other problem!)
    I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to delete the update, that appeared against my will, so that I will not be FORCED into using version 30 next time I run my browser.

    I have heard there is a bug with that version where the
    update options are ignored.

  • When signing onto my internet server, firefox brings up a box saying SERVICE CONFIGURATION, how do I get rid of this box and what does it mean?

    The box looks as follows:
    SERVER CONFIGURATION
    Where should the output file be saved?
    SYNCHRONIZATION
    O Just upload filters
    O Synchronize online and offline filters
    SERVER:

    The above information comes up and stays on the desktop every time I click on OZILLA FIREFOX ICON. What is it needing and how do I get rid of it. It slows down loading up my internet connection.

  • How can I get rid of this constant popup "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier"? Thanks

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>

    I'm an avid eBay seller and shopper. Every time I move from one of my items back to my eBay main page I get this pop up "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action that was performed earlier." How do I disable the message? Running current version of Firefox for windows and Vista.

    Are you getting that anytime you visit a page? Or after you hit the 'refresh', 'back' or 'forward' button?
    This error is not usually an error telling you that anything is broken, it's warning you that you are re-doing something you have already done. The page that you are trying to re-access, or refresh was a page that was doing something. Maybe you told the page to search for something, or you were filling out a form, or perhaps doing something like adding something to a shopping cart. Firefox warns you in case it's something you really don't want to do again; for example, accidentally buying a second toaster, or re-sending a comment form.
    If you only were searching or navigating around a page, it's generally ok to press the 'Resend' button.
    This safety feature is not unique to firefox, I can't offhand think of a browser that doesn't have it (though the wording may vary).
    However, if you are getting it constantly, every page you visit, on every website, all the time, then it's a bug.

  • How do I get rid of Bing? It has taken over my Firefox home page.

    Every time I open Firefox, Bing loads as my home page. I have deleted from my internet options, etc., and it still takes over. There are a lot of other people having the same problem and you do not seem to be answering their requests for a solution.

    Try uninstalling that '''SearchToolbar/1.2''', which is probably how you got Bing as your Firefox Homepage. Then reset the Firefox homepage '''in Firefox''', not '''''Internet Options'''''.

  • How do I get rid of a search engine that has taken over Firefox?

    I have a problem similar to the "Abuchak" problem listed in your forums. This is something different though. When I am at Yahoo or Google, I click a link and it takes me to another search listing. Sometimes it takes me to various sites where Avast (virus proggy) tells me it has blocked a malicious virus.
    The last website it sent me to was http://64.111.211.188
    I can, however, highlight the website under the link and paste it in the address field and that works out, but that's a pain. This has been going on for 2 weeks.
    I have run Spybot, SpySweeper & Ad-Aware but it doesn't help.
    How can I keep this software from taking over Firefox?
    Please help. Thanks.

    Uninstall the "ConnectBar" extension, you may have to reset [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries keyword.URL] in your '''about:config''' afterwards or change to a value you prefer for [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Location_Bar_search#Location_Bar_search_.28external_-_search_engine.29 Location bar searches].

  • What does the little circle with a line in it mean when in edit mode? how can I get rid of it?

    What does a little circle with a line in it mean when I am trying to edit? how do I get rid of it?

    robynlwitheridge
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
    From your description "little circle with a line in it", that sound like a symbol when you are trying to do a cannot do operation.
    What exactly are you doing in your edit activities when you see this circle with a line in it? Is it at the end of the mouse cursor?
    Can you post a screenshot of it?
    If my first impression of what this is happens to be correct, then "How do I get rid of it?" answer comes from
    a. defining what you want to do
    and
    b. correcting any mis-steps you are taking in doing that

  • How do I get rid of BrowserDefender.exe, accidently imported with Firefox

    I accidently acquired a malware program BrowserDefender.exe when I downloaded Firefox from the Internet onto my new laptop. All other software loaded by me has been from legal discs, used successfully on our Desktop. My anti-virus software is displaying annoying pop-up messages. I am unable to delete the folders because "one of the files is in use by another program". My ISP tech support people had the same problem.
    the beast resides on my laptop in c:\Programdata\BrowserDefender\

  • When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

    When using the Pencil, I need to be able to draw an organic dotted line, but there is a shortcut in place that connects the dots because I'm double clicking. How do I get rid of this shortcut?

    What is the purpose of the double click?  If you click once to deposit each mark in sequence the dots should not join. However, if you click once to create the first mark, then hold down the Shift key, each subsequent mark with the Shift key held down will join the dots and create a line.
