You can set your home page in the Firefox preferences/options on the General tab. Select Show my home page from the drop down menu. You can then set your home page by entering the Web address (URL) in the home page text box.

Is there a way to remove the FormsCentral ad from a google search result for a form

We have noticed that the google search results for our forms have the following:
Raleigh-Wake Emergency Communications Center Customer ...
https://adobeformscentral.com/?f=Rov-d68AFo2aQMaFxrAGvw
This form was easily created for FREE with FormsCentral. ... The Raleigh-Wake Emergency Communications Center is committed to providing the best service ...
Since we have a paid account, we would prefer that the red text not be included in the search result. Can this be removed?

Hi;
We're looking into what we can do for this. I'll post an update in the future.
Thanks,

Hi, Barbara! Is the problem that you have a lot of different versions of Firefox on your launch bar? Or that you have a lot of different versions in a directory somewhere?
Either way, on the mac, you should be able to simply:
1. Close all versions of Firefox
2. Drag the applications to the trash folder, which will remove them from the folder or your dock
3. Download Firefox with Safari at getfirefox.com
4. Open the downloaded file by double clicking it
5. Once that happens you will have a Firefox icon and a folder with an "A" on it
6. Drag the Firefox icon onto the A, which will install it into your Applications folder
7. Open your Applications folder and drag it onto your main dock
8. You should be able to launch it from your dock by clicking on the Firefox icon.
Thanks!

How do I uninstall the latest firefox update?

I just updated to the latest version of firefox 13.0.1 and the update is not working correctly. Many websites do not display all the page and I need to get rid of this latest update. I need to go back to the previous version. How do I do this? This adversely affects my ability to conduct business.

Uninstalling the latest version of Firefox is not at all recommended as it contains serious security fixes.
However, i can try to help you out so that the websites you are having problems with display properly, and you can continue using the latest Firefox.
First, I would suggest you try reading [[Websites look wrong]]. It has some basic steps you can take to see if it will help the pages you are having difficulty with display properly.
If that doesn't work, try to reset Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]. It will fix alot of problems you are having with Firefox in general.

TS1398 I just reset my new router name and password and my iPad keeps picking up the old name using the old password. How do I purge the old info and get it to look for the new name?

I installed a new wireless router and connected with my iPad. I then changed the ID and password with ethernet but now my iPad keeps picking up the old router name and password and doesn't see the new name. How can I get it to stop looking for the old name and find the new one?

Hello Stevo39,
If your iPhone continues to prompt for your old account and password then check out the following article.

How can I put Google Search on my default home page?

When I was using 3.6 because of the add-ons available that are not on 6 my beginning page always started with Google Search. Now that I've upgraded to 6.02 all I get is a blank page at startup! And I cannot seem to change that in the "Tools/General/Home page site!!!

What is the startup setting?
*Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"
Firefox 4 and later versions use a new build-in home page named about:home with a Google search bar on it that is used when the home page setting is blank. 
You can set another page as the home page like www.google.com or www.google.com/firefox as used in Firefox 3 versions.

When I installed Firefox 4, I somehow also received the Yahoo toolbar. How do I uninstall the Yahoo toolbar and get the Firefox toolbar instead?

I installed Firefox 4 approximately 2-3 weeks ago.

Additional information:
I ran across this same problem once before when I upgrade to Firefox 3.x with one of the add-ons, but I can't remember how I was able to resolve it, if I ever did. The Firefox programmers should put in the option that when an upgrade to Firefox fines an incompatible add-on that it can be either updated to one that is compatible or it can be removed before the Firefox upgrade proceeds. I consider this to be a serious bug in Firefox.

How do I tell itunes (on a Windows XP PC) to start adding downloaded files to an external drive ? Starting itunes while pressing the shift key and then choosing works only for a MAC, I think. I only need this one final step. All is copied already

How do I tell itunes on a Windows XP PC to start downloading new songs to my external drive ? The whole library has already been moved. I am just one final step away. Everything I`m downloading still lands on C: Relaunching itunes while pressing "shift" and then getting prompted to choose library might work for a Mac, it doesn't for Windows.

In iTunes click on 'Edit', then 'Preferances', Click on the 'Advanced' button, change the entry in the 'iTunes media folder location' to point to your external drive.

I recently downloaded a program and have now lost Firefox's "awesome bar" which has been replaced by the program's own search bar. How can I restore the "awesome bar" and get rid of the other search bar?

I recently downloaded Bearshare.com which then overrode my Firefox "awesome bar". Now when I enter a search item in the search box at the upper right of my screen, I'm automatically shunted to this new search bar where I have to re-enter my search item and click return before it will begin a search. Previously, the Firefox "awesome bar" opened automatically together with my home page and I had the choice of searching using it or the default search box at the upper right of my screen. I 'uninstalled' Bearshare but it now continues to come up when I search using the right hand top search box , forcing me to use it instead of the search box at the upper right of my screen. How do I get rid of it completely so that only the "awesome bar" appears as an extra tab when I open Firefox browser?

First, some clarification:
* The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
* The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

FireFox still identifies pdfs as Foxit documents even though I'm opening them in Adobe Reader and uninstalled the Foxit trial and FF plugin years ago.

When I click on a pdf file link in FireFox, the Windows open file dialogue opens, saying "You have chosen to open [filename]
which is: Foxit Reader PDF Document [filesize]
from: [author]
What should FireFox do with this file?
[selected radio button] Open with Adobe Reader
THERE IS NO PROBLEM OPENING THE FILE. It opens in Adobe Reader, in a window outside of Firefox, which is exactly what I have it set up to do. The problem is that it identifies the file as a "Foxit Reeader PDF Document," even though I uninstalled the Foxit trial and associated FireFox plugin ages ago, and Foxit does not appear anywhere on my computer in any way, shape or form (that I have access to). No Foxit in the file associations for Windows, or in the applications associations for FireFox. There is no Foxit plugin installed, and I even went and deleted what was left of the Foxit directory. Yet pdfs are still identified in FireFox as Foxit files, so FireFox must be storing this old info somewhere. How do I get rid of it?
BTW, files open in a browser window inside the browser in the other 3 browsers I have installed, so there is no open file dialogue, and I can't tell whether there is the same problem. When I check the properties of a pdf outside of FireFox (by rightclicking a pdf on my desktop, for example), it is identified as an Adobe Reader file. I have both Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat. I have two Adobe Acrobat plugins showing in FireFox (10.1.8.24 and 11.0.5.3). Should I have two? No plugins, extensions, or anything else by Foxit.

Most likely this information is in the mimeTypes.rdf file, which can accumulate a lot of obsolete information which occasionally does cause problems. You can rename the file and have Firefox rebuild it from scratch with only the current applications detected (as far as Firefox can tell from the Windows Registry).
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''mimeTypes.rdf''' to something like mimeTypes.old
Restart Firefox. Presumably now it will forget all about Foxit. Unfortunately, it may also have forgotten some of your application preferences, but hopefully those won't take too long to reestablish.

Hi,
Can you please expand on your issue? As far as I can see all the previous functions of 11 are in 12 albeit shown differently. Using get info to edit date is still possible, again it looks and feels different.
