How do I reset my home page as Google, sans that fox wrapping his arms around the world??

I LOVE Firefox to death, but I don't know how to set my home page to Google or Facebook or ANYTHING...is there some way I can do that? I love the little fox hugging the world, but I'm new at this (just dumped Internet Explorer, thank god I found you!) and would appreciate your help. Thanks a bunch, you guys are SO cute!

  • How can I delete bearsearch from my media toolbar (and Firefox in general)? It's acting like a virus and not letting me reset my home page.

    My grandson visited the BearShare website. Since then, the only home page that will "stick" in Firefox is http://search.bearshare.com. Repeated attempts to reset my home page have failed. After I reset the home page and close Firefox, when the program is restarted, the home page is, once again, http://search.bearshare.com.
    I notice that BearShare is listed on my Media Toolbar. How can I delete this item?

  • Safari Resets.  Home page and toolbar keep resetting, how do i stop it?

    I change my home page and set up my Tool Bar with only the buttons I need.
    However, next time I start my MAC or start Safari, the settings revert back to before with Apple as home page.
    I have McAfee AV installed, could this be the cause?
    Im on Mac OS 10.8.3 and Safari 6.0.4

    Yes it could be
    I'd remove it completely, then test.

  • IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any 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.
    You can try this as well.
    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.

  • Cannot reset default home page IE7

    X61S  Vista SP1 IE7 Norton 360 1.0
    Cannot change default home page.  Default page is garbage URL I entered by mistake
    http://http//
    So when I start IE7 it throws an error "Can't find this" and then works fine thereafter.
    If I change default to "about:blank" it is ok for the IE7 session but does not persist.  The next time I start IE7, it is back to the garbage URL  http://http//
    Norton chat cannot tell me if Norton 360 is blocking my attempt to reset the home page.  It is not a problem of redirection of the home page.
    Haven't been able to find string http://http// anywhere.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You're welcome.
    As far as a performance comparison goes, if there is one I have absolutely no idea. I will say this much; in my experience the ThinkVantage Technologies are good and they work, [can of worms just opened], I particularily like Access Connections.
    If you are new to them then read up on them in Access Help or in the web, you will find masses of differing opinions.

  • How can I reset my home setting in maps?

    How can I reset my home location in maps on my iPad

    If your iPad has cellular it can use location services.   Otherwise, the iPad can only locate the approximate address by your IP address (which in my case is in the next state).
    You can edit the bookmarks in Maps to select a new home address and delete the old.
    I believe you can wipe all map contents by turning the switch off:
    Settings
    iCloud
    Storage and backup
    Manage storage
    Show all apps
    Turn off switch, delete, then turn on again.  This will wipe all data from the app.

  • How do I make a home page

    I have a nice home page for Google. Have been using Foxfire for months, but can't figure out how to just have a home page that is useful. Info on plug-is, customization does not help. I have no base to work from.

    Open up your Browser.
    Click the Menu key and choose Options > Browser Configuration. 
    The 'Browser' field will confirm which Browser you are changing the settings for.  Change to Internet browser if it is not already set.
    Under the 'Start Page' field change to something other than the Bookmarks Page (Example, Home Page, or Last Page Loaded).
    Save your settings and close the browser.
    Attempt to open the Internet Browser application from the home screen.  It should now successfully open to mobile.blackberry.com
    Home Page by default is mobile.blackberry.com.

  • How to set a default home page in Safari

    Is there a way to set up a default home page in Safari so that when I launch it, it will always go to that page first?

    Navigate to the page you want to be your home page. Press the + and then Add to Home Screen. Now simply use that new icon to launch Safari instead of the Safari icon.

  • How do I prevent Yahoo home page from redirecting?

    My Yahoo page is very informative so I like to keep it as a home page. Recently the page is blank with a message that there were too many redirects etc.  If I click my home page button then my home page appears without a problem.  Hwo may I stop the redirecting in the first place so that my home page will appear according to my Safari preferences at startup.
    At first I thought it had to do with my selection of Google as my default search because when I do get my home page it's automatically set for Yahoo search, however after setting my default search to Yahoo the same problem of redirect occurs.
    Does anyone have a fix without changing my home page?

  • HT5312 how do i reset my security answers to allow me to download off a laptop for the first time?

    i am trying to download a film for the first time off a laptop but it's asking me for a answers to my security questions which i've forgot.
    how do i reset them?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • Unable to close home page tab or unable to close firefox by closing home page tab (when if that is the only last tab remaining in the browser

    Recently I noticed that I could not close my browser by closing the last tab, which is nothing but home page tab. also noticed that when I open my browser and after opening many other tab if I want to close home page tab I could not close. If I closed it then I cant navigate or surf from that tab.
    This may be due to some add-on causing trouble.
    The problem does not arise in safe mode. Also if I group tab after closing, it is counted as tab but I cant open that particular tab.

    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select Options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    #Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"

  • HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

    iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

    Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer.  As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum.  Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
    Thanks, and best of luck to you.

  • I just downloaded FF4 and now the "SEARCH" tab located at the center of my home page isn't functional. I unisntalled and reinstalled but the result is the same.

    Question
    I just downloaded FF4 and now the "SEARCH" tab located at the center of my home page isn't functional. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the result is the same.

    I think what I did was right clicked on the toolbar when I went to the tab and properties to find out the name of it. I then opened the extensions and add-ons and found what it was there (I don't remember the extension)., You will find the mess involves the homepage tab you have. Click on your tool bar for customization and put the home page away. This doesn't remove it but it will stop bing from showing up. Instead, my tabs now go to a Google page but I can't put in a homepage. Instead I bookmarked Google to my menu bar and when I open a tab I just click that! Cheaper than a trip to a computer vet.
    The only option you will have is to remove google, but if you do, you loose all your goodies. Though I did not try this myself, I fear saving your tabs,bookmarks , etc. will store with it, whatever this bing thing is. Hope this helps
