How do you keep the settings on the home page from changing?

On my firefox home page it was set to no graphics, now it's changed to a simulation of the game space invaders.
This is the same type of thing that Yahoo, aol, google ALL do. I was under the impression you DO NOT do this type of stuff. I guess I was wrong!

To narrow the search for the problem -
Try opening Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down the Shift Key as click on the Firefox icon,
and try re-setting your Home page via Options>General>When Firefox starts Show a blank page.
Does the problem persist in either of these two cases?
Do you have any extensions or third-party toolbars.?
Have you tried a malware scan?

    Hi
    My Powerbook was the same. Only fix is to reinstall OSX from the install CD but be sure not to pick the Format and install clean. Once you boot with the install CD pick the preserve user data and settings.
    On My machine the reinstall looked perfect. My network, email, files and all the programmes were all there. Most apps worked fine but Adobe CS2, Virtual PC and NetBarrier all needed reinastallation as they reported a few files or registration was missing. I went for the 10.4.3 upgrade again and it worked fine.
    Good luck

  • How do I stop my home page from changing

    Despite setting my Homepage to BT Yahoo, every time I restart Safari it resets the home page to the Apple website.  Also, having customised my toolbar i.e. added the homepage, top sites, new tab etc icons they are also gone on restarting Safari.
    This seemed to happen after I loaded McAfee security, but I have now uninstalled this but the problem persists.
    Any suggestions?

    Back up all data now.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
    Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    resetpassword
    That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • How do you keep your place on the page

    we are trying to go paperless in my office, but the biggest complaint form the user is.
    "Hey when we did this on paper we never lost our place because we put a ruler under the line we were working on. We would stop printing if you can tell us how to to the EXACT same thing with the pdf's"
    to let you know they are looking at scanned imiages that have been locked. so even if i could get them to accept highliting (which they flat out rejected) it does not work with imiages.
    in practice what they really want is a way to throw up semi transpartent box, that would highlight where they currently were, that they could simply use the arrow keys to move up and down the page.
    Does adobe (reader of full) have any function close to this? does some one have a viable alternative? might there be an addon or plug in that achieves this?
    Thank you in advance for your help
    Kevin

    Thank you for the help.
    How ever since the documents are locked the commenting tools will not enable.
    as well that would not meet managements requirements. of Simple to move up and down the page like a ruler.

  • How can you maintain security settings with the pornographic sites are already on your computer and an 8 year old is using it. Please contact me and tell me ho

    My 8 yr old granddaughter uses this computer and while I was looking for a way to get rid of yahoo after deciding to dump Firefox because it is constantly quiting I was in the registry and found Yahoo in an area that is filled with pornographic sites. Not knowing how to get rid of this site I deleted the entire section. Looking at your browser doesn't do anything to address this problem and I WILL NOT use a web browser that does not have some type of security for sites that I DON'T WANT MY 8 YR OLD GDAUGHTER LOOKING AT! So buck up and get it done to prevent this.

  • How do you keep 2 albums with the same title in separate folders

    Hi There,
    I have 4 albums that will not go into a seperate playlist folder.
    2 of them are title "ultimate collection"
    the other 2 are titled "super hits". (obviously they are greatest hits cds)
    All 4 albums are from different artist. I have read some other forums and what there saying is just change the title. Thats all fine and stuff but surely there is another option that i am unable to find.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kryten

    I had the same problem with ac collection album, what you do is change the artist name. Im pretty sure it will go different folders.

  • How do I keep folder settings below the top level

    There's a certain Finder setting I prefer for folders regarding icon view. I use a size and arrangement that works very well for me. After replacing my older MacBook Pro with a new MBP and transferring all my data, the setting I prefer only works at the top level of any given folder. Any enclosed folder needs to be individually set to my preferred settings. Is there a universal setting in the Finder for folders that will include all enclosed folders?

  • How do you keep old deleted messages on MacBook Air from returning to inbox?

    I just bought a new MacAir. When I imported my email address all the old email came too. Figured I'll just erase them and that's that. Not the case these 1400 emails keep coming back. Recent emails are easily deleted but not the old ones. These are hotmail accts.

    Import them to the iTunes library if they're not already there, click here, and follow the instructions.

  • How do you prevent your hyperlinks in Keynote 6.5. from changing?

    Dear Apple community,
    Since I installed the new Keynote version 6.5. I have troubles creating hyperlinks. Whenever I link an email-address or URL to a text object or shape the link gets changed afterwards. For example:
    Display: [email protected]
    Email: [email protected]
    will be changed automatically in:
    Display: [email protected]
    Email: [email protected] (this mail address can be any random email address that has been mentioned in another link in the document before)
    Things I tried:
    - Press enter first
    - Create a new text field instead of copying another textfield in which I simply change the link
    I suspect this to be a bug, but it could be I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help me out? Thank you very much in advance!

    Im not aware of any previous concerns with hyperlinks in 6.5, hyperlinks work perfectly all our systems

  • How do you keep iPhone charged while connected to carplay

    How do you keep iPhone charged in the car while it is connected to the cable for CARPLAY?

    The next time you connect your iPad to your laptop, click on your iPad under Devices and then click on the Apps tab on top. Once it opens and lists all your apps in iTunes on the left (both iPad and iPhone ), simply uncheck the boxes next to the iPhone apps you wish to leave off from future syncs. They will still be in iTunes and available for your iPhone, but won't be synced to your iPad. Click on Apply.

  • How do you keep your ipod apps after updating to the 4.0 upgrade?

    I first backed up my iPod touch to keep all of my apps. Then I updated it to 4.0, when I got finished it didn't have any of my apps except the original ones from the iTouch. So I went to click restore from back up and it said that the 4.0 update would go away if I restored from backup. So how do I keep my apps and the update? I have bought some of the apps and do not think it would be fair to re buy them.

    No, a backup won't do anything, you need to check your sync settings and then re-sync.
    1- Connect your Touch to iTunes
    2- Verify that your App sync preferences are set correctly
    3- Verify that all your other sync preferences (Music, Video, Podcast) are set correctly
    4- Click Apply if you made any changes, or click Sync to initiate a sync w/o any changes.
    Assuming the missing Apps are in your iTunes, they should be added to your Touch after you re-sync.

  • How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    How can you keep your iPhone 4 (using it as my car's iPod) staying on the Audible app?  When I leave the car and return to continue hearing a book, it has switched to iTunes.

    The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
    The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
    If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

    Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
    Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.
