How do I get rid of Google as my face page for Mozilla? All attempts to date have been unsuccessful. Please help.

I recently updated Mozilla. SInce then the GOOGLE search page is the new face page when I enter Mozilla. I would prefer use MY YAHOO page, but everytime I change the setting to what I want the GOOGLE search page then returns when return to Mozilla. What Can I do?

You probably are familiar with how to change your "home" page by now, but just in case:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
After you change the setting, if you open a new window using Ctrl+n, does it show your Yahoo page as desired?
''If yes'' then I suspect some software is overriding your preference at startup, or changing it behind Firefox's back. This article describes some ways this can happen: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Another common culprit is the "Surfing Protection" feature of the Advanced SystemCare software, and similar home page or browser protection features of other utility/security software.
''If no'' then one of your extensions may be overriding your preference. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized 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.
Does that help?

  • How do I get rid of Google Custom Search as my default search?

    Every time I start FF it has Google Custom Search in the location bar search box. I have delete it multiple times, but the next time I start FF, it is back in the box. I want Bing as my primary search engine. How do I get rid of the Google Custom Search???
    Also, how do I get rid of that CouponNetwork Coupon Activator? I have looked for it to delete the file, but can't find it. How do I get rid of it??
    Thanks

    That page didn't & has not worked. I have gone through & deleted all the search engines except Bing, probably 15-20 times. When I restart FF Google Custom Search is back in the list & is displayed in the seach box, even though Bing is listed first or the only one in the management section & supposed to be the default.
    On the Coupon Activator, that is what I thought also, but it is not listed on the Add/Remove program. I have even done a search on my drive for that filename, but it can't be found.
    Any other ideas for both problems???
    Thanks

    Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
    Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.

  • How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    How can i get the itunes off of my old iphone if the files on my computer have been erased?

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.

  • How do I get rid of Google each time I open firefox?

    How do I get rid of the Google that sits on the page. I think I have the right to deside when I wish to use google - no body else.

    Thanks for the thought - but I probably do not understand. I expect to see "About:blank". If I set that up I get instead "About:home" and even then it seems google is still in the center of the page - and there is even a list of "abouts" to consider.
    I must have a search engine of some sort - I would prefer one that is not doubling up as a statistics collector. I want to be able to get an empty page with the option to put in my search (or address) at the head and not see anything else. Every time I experiment with that need, eventually Google comes back. It used to be like that in the old days....

  • I have several devices under my apple id. If somebody contacts me all the other devices are ringing. How can I get rid of phone numbers in face time

    Hi, i updated to ios 8
    I have several devices under my apple id account. 2 iPhones (me and my wife ). 2 iPads also me and my wife and my iMac
    The problem is that if somebody calls me for example for face time all the other devices are also ringing, because in face time my phone number is showing and also my wife's phone number. How can I get rid of my phone number on her iphone and ipad and vice versa
    Please help

    The problem is that I can not  verify her id on message and on Facetime
    has that to do that the ipad has no tel number of course?? Should I leave my id number on her iPad ??
    That isn't due to not having a phone number on her iPad.  You can use FaceTime with any iPad using an email address as the "phone number".  And if her iPad isn't a first generation iPad, if she uses the same Apple ID for FaceTime on both her iPhone and iPad, her iPhone number can be used as well (see iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage).
    If her iPad is not verifying her Apple ID for FaceTime it's probably because the Apple servers are busy.  Keep trying and it should verify.  If you continue to have problems with this, look through the troubleshooting steps here: iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation.

  • How do I get rid of the 'buump.me' home page? It just keeps coming back.

    I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 OS and my firefox web browser is compromised with this 'buump.me' home page which I can't get rid of. I've been into the cache, deleted all my cookies, manually changed the home page and the backup home page in the preferences folder. Still keeps coming back. Where is this nasty bit of code lurking in my machine and how can I get rid of it?
    Thanks for any help

    Thanks ideato
    I tried this and lost all my bookmarks and stuff! But found them in a backup file.
    I've solved the problem by creating a new firefox profile and importing my settings and bookmarks from the old one (carefully, so as not to import the virus as well)
    Now the old profile has the virus and the new profile is just fine.
    I could just delete the old profile... but I'd love to find out exactly where this buump.me bug is lurking, so maybe I'll keep the old profile for a while and see if I can find half a day or night free for detective work.

  • How do I get rid of the ugly yellow that is on Mozilla desk top now? I hate it

    how do I get rid of the ugly yellow on my desk top now with mozilla it is so ugly and annyoying? Can I change the color?

    See my second reply here:
    *[[/questions/1038807#answer-670671]] Who took a pee on Foxfire Start page; how get rid of yellow color?
    Mozilla shows snippets on the about:home page to run different campaigns and that changes regularly.
    If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page or if there are problems with a snippet then you can set the <b>browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl</b> pref to an empty string on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    Delete the <b>storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set.
    You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder.
    Close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.

  • How do I get rid of the annoying yellow banner saying "some plugins are out of date on this page."

    Since 5/22/12 I have an annoying yellow banner in Firefox (and other web pages) stating that "some plugins are out of date on this page.") How do I get rid of this? I've checked my plugins and I'm fine for my Mac OS (10.4.1).

    Sounds similar to this thread from yesterday: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927963 How do I stop getting the prompt to update plugins? | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]. Do any of the suggestions there help?
