How do I get rid of Amazon? It has captured my computer.

When I log into Firefox I get an AMAZON screen that I have difficulty using and am unable to get rid of it. Is this the new Firefox ?

Here is how you can change what appears on a new tab. If this setting does not stick, one of your add-ons might be overriding it.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?

    I recently upgraded a program called MyHeritage Family Tree Builder. It has taken over the home page of Firefox and I no longer have the Google options.

    '''Restore Default Home Page'''
    1. On the menu bar, located on top of Firefox, select Tools | Options
    2. Confirm you are in the '''General Panel'''
    3. Click '''Restore to Default'''
    4. Finally, click '''OK'''

  • In the top right corner of my i phone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it,, it has only just popped up

    in the top right corner of my iphone screen there is a small padlock with a circle around it, what is this for and how do i get rid of it, it has just popped up...

    That is the orientation lock indicator. It means that you phone will not go into landscape mode when tilted on it's side.
    To turn orientation lock off double tap the home button, to access the multitasking menu, then swipe your finger to the right over the multitasking bar at the bottom and touch the big button on the left with the padlock.

  • How do I get rid of amazon as my home page

    I cannot get rid of amazon as a invasive home page. Would like google. Also cannot access my gmail acct as a AD for the "new look" blocks me.

    If you want a ''' Google home page''' with with Google applications that you have been to across the top and whether you are signed into Google or not such as for email, you probably want http://www.google.com as your home page.
    To '''change home page''' see https://support.mozilla.com/questions/903221
    For the ad blocking your use of GMail, try installing "Adbock Plus" and you will need some filters for ADP to do its work, "EasyList" is the most comprehensive filter after that you can install some more specialized fitlers.

    If you already have "Adblock Plus" then it is probably just be a matter of updating your filters.

  • How do I get rid of "this message has no content?"

    In Apple Mail, I need to send a pdf file "without a message," however when received the message reads "this message has no content."
    How do I get rid of the message, "this message has no content"  ??
    Thanks

    While waiting for an answer, I figured out a solution: type any character, say a period, give it the color of the page (white)...bingo...no more annoying "no content" message.

  • How can I get rid of Shockwave plugin has stopped working hangup?

    Hi, my first time here in your forum. I am constantly getting the "Shockwave plugin is busy or has stopped responding error message every time I go to this website: Forum - The NewsTalkers
    and randomly at many others. IT is extremely annoying, as I often have to close out of my browser entirely in order to  get out of the hang up. And it makes no difference what browser I am using, it does it in FireFox 33.1 and IE11. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, SP1.
    How do I stop this endless error? The only way it seems to stop is if I uninstall Flash player, and then a lot of other stuff won't work.
    So I hope someone here has an answer that will help get rid of this error.
    Thank you.

    Please ask your question on a forum for the Flash Player

  • How do I get rid of 'Warning: Query has exceeded 200 rows...' message

    Hi there,
    I have a custom page to query our Inventory details. I display 100 rows on the page. I noticed today I can hit next once and then I get the message 'Query has exceeded 200 rows. Potentially more rows exist, please restrict your query'. If I try to Export this data using an Export to Excel button, it gives me the message 'There is no data to export'.
    I am EXTREMELY new to OAF...is there a property or something somewhere that I can change to fix this? We will have potentially 100s of thousands of records to display and export, so 200 simply is not acceptable.
    We are on ATG RUP7, 11.5.10.2. This is a completely custom page, pulling from custom tables. Please let me know if any other information is needed.
    Thanks,
    Janel

    That seems to work for when I run the page through the iSupplier portal. However I noticed during development when I am testing the page on my computer, I am still getting this message? Is there anyway to get rid of it on the client side? I assume that profile is set correctly on the development instance which you are using from JDEV.
    Sometimes you need apache bounce to make sure the profile option change come into effect.
    So do a apache bounce.

    Bearing in mind that 'Other' consists of emails, contacts, appointments, data, document files, OSX and its libraries and more, I would be very careful what you delete. It is not just backup, it is your stuff.

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

    You transfer the purchases to the computer you use to sync the iPhone.  You can use a thumb drive or an external HD, etc.  Read this: iTunes for Mac - How to copy purchases between computers:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1373
