How do I make Google my homepage?

When Foxfire opens, I want it to go directly to Google. How do I do this?

Hello,
Please check this link [[How to set the home page]] to get details on how to set your home page when Firefox opens. Also, this page can also be useful [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
Hope this helps.

How do you make google your homepage on firefox?

I am having trouble trying to google my homepage, i know it sound silly but HOPEFULLY there is a simple way to do it, but i do not know how to do it on firefox,
thanks....
please help

very easy. With Safari, go to Preferences, then General. there you should be able to set your homepage as Google. With Firefox, it's roughly the same, go to Preferences, then General. your homepage should be under the "startup" tab. I don't know why you can't find safari Preferences. Open up Safari, get it running, on the left hand side of the screen under the word "safari" you will find the word "Preferences" or press command (Cloverleaf), then comma (,) to get to preferences. There is no video that will teach you everything about Mac, however, your local users' group or Apple store may be able to help you out. If you are lucky, you may also be able to find a helpful Mac user locally or here.
My advice to you, coolcarrot905 is this: Practise, Practise, Ask Questions and Practise
oh, and one last thing: very common mistake: this forum is for Mac Pro's, not Macbook Pro's. One is portable (the 2nd one) and one is not (the 1st one)

How can I make google my real default search engine?

Yes, I have set Google as my preferred search engine in Safari Preferences.
But when I try to do things such as define a word, it uses Bing.
Frankly, I do not care for Bing.
How can I make google always be my search engine?
Thanks

Here you go Andy.
I did learn some things while looking at it.
I need to clean out byTimemachine drive :-)

When I open Firefox, 8 tabs automatically appear. How do I make just the homepage tab appear on startup?

When I open Firefox for the first time, 8 tabs always appear. Not only the homepage tab but 7 other tabs (mainly from add-ons I have installed). How do I make just the homepage tab appear on start-up?

Hi,
Please try removing the homepage entries in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''General''' > '''Home Page:'''. For some add-ons, you may have to go into their settings.

I want google as my search engine, not Bing. How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default?

I want google as my search engine, not Bing. But no matter what I do in "Manage Search Engines," Firefox seems to reset to "Search the Web," which uses Bing.
How do I make Google the default search engine in the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar; or, how do I remove the "Search the Web" feature of the search bar so that "Google" can be default? When I move "Search the Web" down and "Google" up, the search bar resets every time Firefox reloads.

Sometime Bing is not located in the Add/Remove programs section of the control panel.
6 Easy Steps to Remove Bing from Mozilla Firefox:
1. Click on the "inverted triangle" located to the right of the orange Bing icon.
2. Select the option "Manage Search Engines...". (A pop-up window will appear titled "Manage Search Engine List.)
3. Select "Bing".
4. Click the "Remove" button.
5. Select the desired search engine from the list.
6. Click "OK"
All Done.... :-)
Happy Searching...

This is probably not the answer to all your questions, but I am sure it answers some.
Unlike Word and InDesign, FrameMaker's anchored frames, which hold graphics, "hang" from their insertion points, typically at the end of the paragraph. An anchored frame that follows a paragraph is set to be below the line, the line being the last line in the paragraph. If you turn on View > Text Symbols, you will see a marker that indicates the point from which the anchored frame is hanging.
If the anchored frame is taller than the available space, it is moved to the next page ALONG with that last line. If the paragraph style/tag has a widow/orphan lines number that is more than 1, then that number of lines are also moved to the next page, because the paragraph tag says to keep that many together, EVEN if there is space at the bottom of the previous page.
So, you can set the widow/orphan lines number smaller OR as you have done put a blank line before the anchored frame, which now holds the marker for the anchored frame, and set its font size to 2 pt (the lowest FrameMaker allows) and its line height to zero. This is the standard workaround UNLESS you use the line above the anchored frame as the title/caption of a figure, which is also a typical way of dealing with FrameMaker's ways.
To my knowledge, one cannot change the default of the checked cropped box. Maybe others know of some way to change this.
There is no page break in FrameMaker, hence there is no symbol for it. In the paragraph designer for the paragraph, you set to Start of the paragraph to Top of page. Top of page is FrameMaker's equivalent to a page break. To "remove" a page break, set the Start of the paragraph to Anywhere.
Since you are new to FrameMaker, I suggest reading throught the User Manual that comes with FrameMaker. You will likely find the answers to most of your questions there.
Hope this helps,

Downloaded new 4.0 today and decided to download and sync mobile to my HTC EVO 4g which seems to work but how do I make Firefox the homepage on phone?

Have had Firefox for years on my mac and works great. Downloaded today new 4.0 on desktop mac OS 10.6.7 and works great. Have sync and decided to follow instructions to download Firefox to my HTC EVO 4G. Seemed to download correctly and did get the 3 part key and entered fine. Firefox icon shows up with icon in list of All apps and will work if clicked upon.
But, how do I make Firefox my home page on my phone? When I select magnifying glass key on glass I go to standard google homepage I've had since day one. I'd like to go directly to Firefox as I do on the desktop.

Oops, I forgot a step between 7 and 8 ... before syncing the iPhone I need to explicitly send the document back to iTunes on the iPhone, or the changes won't come over at all ...
and then one more thing ... Numbers on iOS does NOT recognize a number of key features of the OSX app, such as conditional formatting ... so after editing my document on iOS and syncing it back to OSX on my Mac, all of those settings are lost (no more conditional formatting, have to do it all over again)
What am I doing wrong ?

How do I make google my default search engine instead of inbox search engine?

Google was my search engine anytime I would type just keywords into the line where you type web addresses. However, I somehow must have uploaded a new search engine called 'Inbox', which I don't care for, and now I have to type keywords into the search to the right of the screen to use google. I would like to make google my permanent search engine when using Firefox. Any suggestions? I thought I had already deleted the inbox toolbar, but it didn't change my search engine. I am not so computer savvy so...

Every time Firefox opened
== don't know how or when

I had this problem to, drove me insane for weeks. Eventually i found out how to solve the problem though:
1. Open a new tab and in the address bar, type in "about:config" (without the quotations)
2. A little warning pops up, just press ok and move on.
3. In the filter search type in "inbox" (without the quotations)
4. Right-click on any of the results that pop-up and click reset.
That solved the problem for me, and hopefully it will for you as well.

How can I make my old Homepage take me directly to my new iWeb site???

Is there I way I can have it so people don't first have to "land on" a .Mac homepage and then push a "button" to get to the new iWeb site?
It would be GREAT if anyone knew a way to do this... I am so excited with my new site, but need it to replace my old .Mac homepage (or at least make it so people are automatically redirected to the new iWeb page)
Anyone have some ideas??

They should go all back into the green Purchased playlist when you make another purchase.
How can I get it back into a playlist other than dragging each song
Make a Smart playlist and set it to Kind contains Purchased, then you won't have to drag any songs.
I have over 3500 purchased
Really?
3500 purchased songs?

How Do I Make Google My Default Search and Permanently Disable Yahoo Search?

I recently ran into a problem where Yahoo became my default search engine in the Firefox toolbar. I have checked my addons and extensions, went into About:Config several times and reset it to Google. I did a complete reset on Firefox and I did a System Restore to yesterday's date. It seems that no matter what I try, when I close Firefox and reopen it, the Yahoo Search is reset as the default. How do I get rid of it once and for all and keep Google as my default search engine in Firefox?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

How do I make Google my defalt web browser?

When firefox comes on, Inbox shows up as my web browser. I use to have Google and I want it back but it does not stay on.

Firefox is a web browser. Google is a search engine, which is also what Firefox has used as the homepage in Firefox for many years.
The first web page that you see when you open any web browser is what is known as the '''homepage''' for that browser. Someone installed a program or add-on for Inbox on that PC, and it has taken over the '''homepage''' setting in Firefox.
You need to get rid of Inbox '''''first''''', and then reset your '''homepage''' setting in Firefox.
