How do I get rid of MyHeritage which has captured the home page?

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.
How do I get rid of it?

'''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'''

How do I get rid of "Startnow," which opens as my home page instead of google.

I got this virus when I tried to install VSL digital code to access a Netflix disc. Now, whenever I open my home page, Startnow comes up rather than google. How can I get rid of this malicious program and return to my original google homepage?????

Please do the following. 
#In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK. 
#Close the tab
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

How can I get rid of Babylon that took over my home page via Firefox?

A site called Babylon took over my home page among other things last week. Your advice via email to get Firefox from someone else who has it wasn't feasible. Neither was Riva uninstaller which you recommended. This appears to be an attack on Firefox and although I got rid of most of Babylon, it still dominates my home page. I love Firefox but this is bad news. I need it fixed.
Thank you for your time.

10.3.1.1565 - how do I get rid of awful blue blob in hub home page on Q10

Really not liking new upgrade
Hub bottom bar which used to be accessible when required, now fixed and using valuable real estate - have lost a full e-mail summary from bottom of screen which is not good....
Also - when I use facebook app, if I send my son a message,. soon as I start to type, the auto suggest text bar comes up and cannot see what I am typing unless I scroll and then have to stop typing, start again - total abomination of an upgrade from what I can see.... lack of proper testing and share price will be hit again...
suggestions, polite ones, always welcome how to resolve these issues

Hello golfbug72,
The FB behaviour you are suffering, I sometimes had a similar issue when posting comments to a picture, but it disappeared when I updated the FB app a few weeks ago.
I surely don't have the issue when sending a message from the Hub to someone.
FYI my version installed is 10.6.31.2.
Which version do you have, and can you detail a bit your issue so I can try on my side please?

Hi there
Do you happen to use a USB modem or something like that? This could be the cause.
You could try creating a new network location to see if that fixes it (if not you can just reverse it)
1. Go to  Menu -> System Preferences
2. Then go to Network on the 3rd row
3. Make sure the padlock is unlocked (bottom left) with your admin password
4. Choose 'Automatic' next to 'Location' at the top.
5. Choose 'Edit Locations'
6. Then click the + button, and create a new one called home/test/somethingorother
7. Click Done -> Save and wait a few seconds
8. You may have to reconnect to your Wi Fi network etc.
If you have a USB modem, the above steps will most likely remove its config from the Network preferences. As I said, its reversable (just change location back to automatic)
Have fun

Thanks for the quick response ...
I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked 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.

Also, it is very hard for people to help when we don't know which of the many iMac variatnts you have was what version of the Mac operating system you are running. Also let us know if this is limited to a specific program or happens no matter what you are doing with the computer.
A good place to start is with "About this Mac" from your Apple menu:

How do I get rid of ZoneAlarm search engine in the address bar and middle-of-page search box?

I downloaded ZoneAlarm firewall. It has you install Chrome and choose its search engine when you download. I'd heard these were easily removed afterward. I reset Google in the upper right search bar.
Now Firefox starts OK, but each time I use a tab to open another window the ZoneAlarm search is in the address bar and the center search box, and Google search is in the upper right search bar. How can I get rid of all ZoneAlarm search everywhere?
I have the latest version of Firefox and Windows 8.1.

You can check if you have the ZoneAlarm search engine file in the browser\searchplugins folder in the Firefox program or in the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
You can delete the search.json file and possible search-metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the Firefox profile folder to reset the search engines to the default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Firefox will rebuild the search.json file from the default search engines in the "browser\searchplugins" folder in the Firefox program and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

The developer of Classic Theme Restorer maintains a support thread over here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=2827985
Sorry I can't help you myself, I am still using Firefox 28 while I try to Customize the 29-plus versions without resorting to using CTR. I have tried it, but I prefer doing my own "cobbles" rather than rely upon an extension that "restores" much what I didn't like about Firefox 4.0 thru 28 and overrides what I do like about Australis. IOW, CTR 'fixes' things about 90% opposite of what I would do, if I had the talent to do a "retro extension".
''IMO, the orange Firefox button was the worst thing that Mozilla has ever done to Firefox. The Menu bar worked fine before Firefox 4 came out and still does, it just doesn't have be showing all the time = Compact Menu and its' derivatives over the years was the 'ticket' for me starting from before Firefox was even named Firefox.''

Over time, all masts will be configured to broadcast the carrier name "EE". In the mean time, some masts will still broadcast the carrier name "Orange". So it is completely normal, especially when on the move, for the carrier name to switch between "EE" and "Orange" as your iPhone switches between masts
