How do I get rid of the Orange Fox in the middle of the page every time I pull up Firefox. Very annoying.

I pull up Firefox and am blasted out of my socks by a huge orange fox. I hate that. I just want a page to pull up that has a search engine in the middle of the page so I can begin surfing. The fox is attention grabbing and annoying.

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.
You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • I want to switch stores from Japan to USA. I used to have an iTunes card, and there's 15 YEN left in my account, how can I get rid of that so I can start purchasing in the US store using my new credit card?

    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.

    how do i get rid of my first apple id when i bought the phone

    I don't think this is the easiest way. Have you concidered creating a new account and just... ignoring the last one? If this idea is not to your liking, just simply ring up apple. From what I know, you cannot cancel and account, but, I think that apple might be able to.

    If restoring to the previous state from backup isn't an option (hopefully it is), it may be easier to try to resolve what is causing problems. It's possible that some incompatible software you have installed is messing with the smooth running of your Mac.
    Can you describe more fully what problems you are experiencing? You could also run EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may reveal the cause as there is some software 'out there' that is known to create problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • How can I get rid of baseline drift in an ecg without having the dfdt or advanced signal processing toolkits?

    Hello,
    I am recieving a lot of baseline drift in my ECG signal and was wondering how I can get rid of it? I saw examples at NI .com but they used the digital filter design toolkit and the advanced sgnal processing tollkit. I have neither one of these and since I am a student and this is my senior project I have no means to get these toolkits. I tried using a high pass filter but this did not work.\
    Ray

    Ray,
    When you say that something did not work, you are not giving much information for us to use to try to help you. Did the filter not work or did it not remove the drift?
    How big is the drift, compared to the desired signal? How fast does it drift? How long are your sample sets? What are you doing with the ECG data? Looking at heart rate or analyzing a single-beat waveform for morphological changes? I think you can see that different end goals might require different approaches to baseline compensation.
    If the drift is always fairly slow, you might be able to take small segments and subtract the mean of each segment. This may result in some offset or shift at the segment boundaries, but it is very simple and can easily be implemented without requiring a special toolkit.
    Another approach is to low pass filter the ECG signal to extract an estimate of the baseline which can then be subtracted. Remember that all filters have a transient response and many will have a phase shift between the input and output.

  • How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

    How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

    If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
    If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

  • How do you get rid of yellow triangular with ! in middle that appear against some of my bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar?

    I have yellow triangles next to some of my icons in my bookmarks and bookmark toolbar. They have an exclamation mafrk in them. It probably happens when there is difficulty connecting to them. But they hang around. How do you get rid of them even when the bookmark works fine? I have FF 4.0 on a Snow Leopard Mac.

    This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
    A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

  • How do I get rid of error message, "iTunes could not back up the iPad because an error occurred."

    During a recent syncing of my iPad and iTunes, I cancelled a sync during the backup step of the process.  Since then I whenever I sync the ipad I know get, "iTunes could not back up the iPad because an error occurred."
    I have reset my iPad and turned off the MacBook, still the message occurs.
    Can someone offer some advice on how to get rid of this error message?

    You can try deleting your backup. Launch Itunes on your Mac and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Highlight the name of the iPad backup and select delete. Quit iTunes, restart your Mac and try to sync again.

  • How do I get rid of a ton of old reimported email from the Mail App?

    I was having an sync issue with a particular email address, it wasn't getting the emails forwarded from GMail into my Apple Mail account, so I followed the directions I got from apple.com
    "Go to your home Library folder, then to the Mail folder and remove the “DefaultCounts”, “Envelope Index” and the “LSMMap” files."
    "The next time you start up Apple Mail it should ask you to reimport all messages and it will rebuilt the index."
    So, before I could use the Apple Mail, I had to let it reimport all messages and rebuild the index, which I did. Now, I did notice it was reimporting well over hundreds of thousands of files. Not sure if they were emails or what, but it took a long time to rebuild.
    Now after, the email address was able to forward or "push" the email to my Mail program. Problem fixed. But hours later I looked at my available harddrive space and noticed I only 80GB's availble when before I have 224GB's of Harddrive space available on my 500GB home drive.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm not 100% sure if this is the problem, but there's no other explanation I can come up with because I didn't import anything or install anything else on my computer that day, especially that big.

    3rd party email addresses have to be deleted on every synmced mac product, although I have 1and1.co.uk and my imac updatetes the mails in that account from mac mail.
    Yahoo etc is a 2 step deleting process but good to get your emails pushed when on the go.

    Hi D4309.
    You probably have a troublesome font installed that causes this (e.g. Helvetica Fractions). If that's the case, get rid of it:
