How do I get rid of Inbox?

It downloaded with another program and now I can't get rid of it. I have removed it from my search engine list and it is still there. It is not listed in Programs and Features on Control Panel so I can't uninstall it. It has taken over my home page.

For your home page (startup page), you can change it in the Options. These article have the details:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
To prevent it from being switched back, please check on the following:
(1) user.js file
This article describes how to track down and remove the user.js file that overrides your own settings every time you exit and restart Firefox. [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]
(2) Suspicious Extensions
You may have one or more unwanted extensions. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually 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 "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE"?

    I can't get rid of "INBOX" and go back to "GOOGLE" when I open Firefox. The posted solutions requires me to start by entering about:config in the location bar. I don't have the foggiest notion of what the Hell is a location bar and what the next step means: "in the filter at the top......". Don't have any idea how this got changed during the last day or so, but it is extremely irritating and THERE IS NO PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO GET A REAL LIVE PERSON TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

    Also note that your System Details List shows multiple Flash plugins.
    # Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0
    # Shockwave Flash 11.9 r900
    You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
    You can check the Flash player installation folder for multiple Flash player plugins and remove all (older) version(s) of the plugin (NPSWF32) and (re)install the latest Flash player.
    *(32 bit Windows) C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash\
    *(64 bit Windows) C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and search for prefs that refer to <b>ask.com</b> and reset user set (bold) <b>ask.com</b> prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.
    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • How do I get rid of "inbox search"? It is now where "Google search" used to be.

    ''''''
    I was down loading something but got "Inbox search" instead. It displaced "google search in the normal search box at the upper right corner of the screen.
    The search I get is now very limited. I am so frustrated that I now go back to Safari to be able to use google.
    I eliminated all by add-ons and went back to default mode to no avail.
    Also I put firefox in trash and reinstalled firefox but this "inbox search is still there. help

  • HT201365 I recently updated my Ipad 2 with iOS7 and I suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously read and deleted.  how do I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    I recently updated my Ipad2 to iOS7 and suddenly have 794 emails in my inbox which were previously reviewed and deleted.  How can I get rid of them without doing one at a time?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • TS3899 How can I get rid of a wrong email count on inbox?

    I have set up my BT email account in settings, and it works fine.  Except that although the inbox if empty there's a constant icon on the home screen showing 13 emails in the box.  I can't get rid of this, even though I have set up the email twice now. What's going on and how can I get rid of the score when the box is empty?  It just counts up from 13.  (ipad mini)

    Thanks.
    I tried that, waited for the Apple to appear.  But when the home screen appeared - just the same.  So I deleted the account (bt internet).  Re-set as before.   Then set up the account again.  still have 13 emails showing and nothing in the in box.  Annoying.  I think this is because I delete some (13?) emails from the online access to the inbox (on a laptop) but it's out of synch with the ipad.  Neither account has any emails but the ipad thinks it's got 13 I have deleted.  But they are not there!!!
    Thanks anyway.

  • Thunderbird has just duplicated x 2 every message in my inbox but not in any other folder. It's the fourth time it's done this so how do I get rid of them?

    Thunderbird has just duplicated x 2 every message in my inbox but not in any other folder. It's the fourth time it's done this so how do I get rid of them?
    I've just tried downloading two addons to try and fix this from the forum but one wasn't compatible with Firefox 28 and the other started downloading something very dodgy to do with .xpi file converters.
    So any help would be great, thanks.

    first you have an anti virus problem... duplicated message almost always occur through one of two reasons. Anti virus program barfs on a message (relatively common) Server side message corruption (becoming more common, particularly at Yahoo)
    Turning off anti virus checking will generally allow the message that causes the issue to download. logging into the webmail portal and deleting what you think looks like the "next" message to download will usually fix corruption that causes duplication of downloads.
    Now to the cleanup.
    This add-on should do that for you https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/remove-duplicate-messages-alte/?src=search

  • I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. How do I get rid of them?

    I cannot delete two of the messages in my inbox. The others go away easily.
    How do I get rid of them?

    Have you tried quitting mail and then trying to delete again? Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or resetting the iPad and then trying again? Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If neither of these things work, delete the emails from the server in webmail. Go to your email account via a web browser and delete it from the server. Empty the trash folder on the server as well and then see if you can delete them from the iPad or see if they have gone away.

  • Ipadmini inbox maintains there are 907 items in inbox, but I have deleted all items. How do I get rid of the numbers?

    ipadmini inbox maintains there are 907 items in inbox, but I have deleted all items. How do I get rid of the numbers?

    You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
    Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.

  • Undeletable e-mail in Mail - the latest! How can I get rid of it?

    Following my recent posts about an undeletable e-mail received as undeliverable mail (I never sent it in the first place so it's obviously coming from a virused address book) I now have 13 copies of an identical e-mail which won't go away. My Mac says they're junk, but they're in the inbox and when I move them manually, they leave the inbox but don't appear in the junk. Once I return to the inbox, there they are again - with one more copy. There is no visible body, just a header stating:
    "Subject: A hacker can access a public web site linked to an internal distributed file system and gain access to company and customer files."
    I recently went to a PC forum for help and when I copied and pasted the header onto their forum , a green link appeared under the words "web site" taking me to a site "zimki.com" with whom I have never dealt.
    How can I get rid of these self-generating e-mails?
    Incidentally this message is not on my server as web mail access was used to delete it, so it only appears on the Mac.

    Yes I did repost, as the original problem - a huge e-mail downloading - proved not to be the case so this is a more accurate description of the problem in the hope that I can get a more accurate solution.
    I used the edit/ cut solution (thank you!) which removed the e-mails from my inbox, but they're now back with a vengeance including about twenty copies of one entitled "fez" (a virus maybe?) - I now have two of every e-mail downloading; my Mac tells me this fez message is junk but now adds that "You need to take this account on-line to download this message" - except the download in progress wheel keeps going on, and on, and on....and the new messages in my inbox (I now have two or three variations on the original theme) won't go anywhere except by edit / cut.
    I'm tearing my hair out!!!
    I've just erased all the messages by webmail, 52 messages, so it appears my Mac is also no longer automatically erasing the messages on the server after download even though the box for this is ticked.

  • Messages icon indicates that there is an unopened message but when i go into it the message is blank and no option to delete it. Any ideas how i can get rid of this and stop it from opening up in the blank message each time i open my messages?

    The message icon on my iphone indicates that there is an unopened text message, but when i go into it, it just opens up a blank message, and there is no option to delete it. Any suggestions how i can get rid of this message, and prevent my phone from always opening up in the blank message whenever i go into my messages, rather than just opening as my inbox?
    Many thanks

    Hard restart..  While the phone is powered in, hold the power and home button.   Hold them down and keep them held down.  the phone will eventually shut itself off and reopen.  keep held down till you see the appl elogo, then release.  This will not delete anything off your phone, it will just force all apps to stop their current process.  If you just turn the phone on and off, it will just pick up where it left off.  Good luck
