How can I prevent my tabs from loading the Tuvaro search page?

I have tried everything listed in the popular articles for this. Firefox shows my home page when I open it (yay!) but new tabs - tabs specifically - still default to the Tuvaro search engine. I have gone into "about:config" and reset the "browser.newtab.url" setting, and it works! But when I close Firefox and open it back up again, the string has been replaced on "Browser.newtab.url" and my tabs default to Tuvaro again. As stated previously, I've uninstalled ALL bloatware from my (brand new) computer, fixed the shortcuts, cleaned my registry, and reset firefox. This one detail just refuses to be fixed.
Thank you!

Hello SkyeVeran, check if exist inside the "Programs" in windows, go from Start button > Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program or Program and Features > find it and uninstall, also uninstall any other unwanted suspicious program.
also, check if exist in your extensions, click the 3-bar menu button > Add-ons > Extensions or Appearance > select if exist as an add-on > click Remove button.
after the above, Reset Firefox
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''.Now, a new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
#At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Reset Firefox"[[Image:Button reset]]. Click on it.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Thank you.

Keeps coming up with "What's New" page everytime I open Firefox.

Everytime I open Firefox (5) it keeps checking whether my add-ons would work with it and then opens the "What's New" page. It's starting to get really irritating.
Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

I suspect a bad add-on. Since add-ons often are installed externally to Firefox, I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
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.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools suggested in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Does that clear it up?

How to prevent the change of Home page everytime I start Firefox? Claro search starts everytime I start firefox even when I change the default Home page

http://www.claro-search.com/?affID=116677&tt=4612_6&babsrc=HP_ss&mntrId=c66222c1000000000000bc773772d22a
This link becomes my homepage whenever I launch firefox. Even if I change the homepage to one of my bookmarks, on restart it is automatically changed to the above link.

if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
afterwards install the search reset addon, it will revert the most common settings that got modified by adware back to the default ones: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

How can I prevent deleted cookies from coming back?

I have deleted cookies via preferences - security - show cookies - erase all cookies
But after some minutes they all show up again. What can I do to delete them completely?
Thanks for your help!

Cookies can come from sites that a person hasn't visited neither, and Facebook is tracking users of web sites they visit even AFTER they have logged out of FaceBook.
Safari likely recreates the cookies even after a user deletes them because of HTML 5, or perhaps with TopSites. Just started occuring too, like in the last few issues.

One has to use Firefox and the add-ons called Click&Clean, BetterPrivacy along with Ghostery, Ad Block Plus.
NoScript to prevent scripts from running automatically, one has to drag a "Temporaily Allow" button up to the toolbar to click it on "safe" sites.
I trust the independent developers working to keep their FF add-ons current to combat the latest privacy threats, as Firefox is more "the browser for the users" than any other.
It's getting insane trying to keep one's machine clean, and iOS users have no chance in heck as they are closed devices.

How do I prevent downloading messages from timing out when a large file is attached to an incoming mail?

When an incoming message has a sizable attachment (say ~1 MB or more), I have to click manually on Get Messages many times before it finally downloads. Until I get lucky, the software seems to allow a period of about 30 seconds (I haven't clocked it) until it quits trying to download new messages. And until the message with the large attachment finally downloads, all other incoming messages are clogged behind it and can't get through. How do I adjust settings to prevent timing out or increase the time-out limit substantially to work around this difficulty? If there's no fix, I'll have to give up on Thunderbird and go directly to the provider website to get e-mail.

Is there any way you could get such attachments sent to you otherwise, such as file sharing? Thunderbird has a feature to address this, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/filelink-large-attachments Filelink], in case the sending party is using Thunderbird it may be useful to let them know about.
Are you using POP or IMAP? Either way many settings can fine tune this, in different ways, please add this information so we can provide a more detailed answer.

What does this mean, and how can I stop this message from coming up constantly in my e-mail program? "Alert: Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (htpixel.adsafeprotectedtp) isn't associated with any program."

This just started last night, and it seems to be affecting the functioning of my e-mail program (Yahoo mail). How can I stop it?

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:

Check and tell if its working.

How do i prevent text messages from appearing on another phone with my same apple id

When I text my friend my wife can see my texts on her phone. My friend is in her phone too and my wife and I share the same apple ID. My friend is helping me with my wifes Christmas gift and I don't want her to know what we are texting about.

Either disable iMessage on your wife's phone or set it up with a unique Apple ID.

How can I prevent a tab from chaning into a new window by itself

When I play a video, and open another tab, the tab with the video will sometimes change into a whole new window. I don't click anything specific to make the tab change into a window, it will just do it a few minutes after I open the new tab. Does anyone have a clue on how to prevent this. Thank you!

Make sure that you do not drag a tab in the browser window. 
Current Firefox versions have a feature called tear-off tabs. 
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window. 
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

Although I have Igoogle as my home page when I open Firefox it comes up as somoto. How can I get rid of this.

My home page on Firefox only has been changed to somoto. I can't get rid of it. Have run scans for malware and viruses with more than one program and has eliminated any bad stuff. I cannot find the word somoto anywhere in my computer. My regular home page comes up in IE and Chrome.

This worked for me:
open add/remove programs and uninstall every toolbar you see that you don't know exactly what it is. The trojan or virus ... whatever it is can hide itself in another name. it happened to be "burn4free" toolbar when i downloaded burn4free a few days ago. I uninstalled it, restarted my computer upon prompt, and VOILA! no more annoying homepage. Like i said, it may be renamed so make sure to do some trial and error if you're not sure which one it is. GOOD LUCK!

Homepage (1 only) set as Google. Everytime I open Firefox, aside from the Google homepage, another tab opens to explain how to set a home page. How do I stop this nuisance?

The problem occurs on every opening of the Home Page, either on opening Firefox or opening a new tab with the home page. Link is: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
By the way, what is the getplusadobe16287 plug-in for?

Solved it. Turns out that when I set my homepage, I inadvertently set myself 2 home pages. By going into "Options", on the General tab, I simply deleted the second home page. Figure I'll work out what the plugin is as well.
