How to cancel an annoying new wallpaper I clicked in response to an unusual menu which appeared when I opened Firefox.

To access the internet, I click on "Firefox" in my starter menu. Recently, after I did this, I was presented with a menu apparently inviting me to select a choice of background designs. I selected one, and it now appears whenever I have my Fierfox internet function running. It is an annoying design, not least because most of it is covered by the main part of the Firefox page. Only the top of the new design is visible, and it makes the top four rows of icons and buttons harder to read. How can I switch it off?

That sounds like a persona (light weight theme).
To switch to the default theme, if using the old style menus, in the Tools menu select Add-ons. If using the Firefox button, click on it and then select Add-ons.
In the add-ons manager go to the Appearance section, then in the list of themes click on the default theme to select it. Finally click on the Enable button to switch to the default theme.

How can i stop annoying plugin page appearing when i open firefox

Every time i open firefox i get annoying info telling me about plugins.
How do i get rid of this

All the software you are running on your computer is extremely old, out of date and leaving you open to gaping wide security flaws online.
This is how to update your software, get rid of the prompt, and be safer online :)
Install Firefox 17.0.1. [[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Visit https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/, and update all the vulnerable plugins from there.
OR, to make this even easier, just use http://ninite.com/firefox-flash-java-reader-vlc/ninite.exe to update all this software with one installer

Looking for an email template I clicked on Smilebox. It installed at least two programs, now uninstalled. But how do I stop the Smilebox toolbar appearing when I open Firefox?

Even though I uninstalled the two Smilebox programs that were listed by the Windows XP "Add/Delete Programs", when I subsequently opened Firefox, I found that I had an unwanted "Smilebox" toolbar - which appears not to have a delete or do-not-show option.
How to I get rid of it?

Many thanks,
The information at the page identified by the URL above enabled me to remove the unwanted toolbar pretty quickly.
A small point is that the instructions are accurate apart for tne the fact that the menu choice marked in blue is for "Options" not "Add-ins".

How can I deactivate the FAX modem menu which appears when I try to print a web page?

I have a PC that is not connected to a telephone and I have never selected the FAX icon. Two weeks ago I was suddenly unable to print web pages because a menu concerning setting up a FAX modem appears when I push the Print command. On the Printers and Devices page the FAX icon is not selected. How can I deactivate the FAX menu?

You can use this extension to modify the menu.
*Menu Editor: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
You can also achieve this with code in the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

My homepage is Yahoo.ca and used to appear when I opened Firefox. All of a sudden it doesn't although my preferences say that it should. To get to Yahoo, I have to open a "new Page" and then Yahoo appear as a tiny page which I then have to enlarge.

I am not so computer literate as to add much more information than I have already. Unfortunately. One day Firefox opened with my homepage and then, later in the afternoon, it didn't. I had a younger person check it out but she couldn't figure out why the change.

A website I opened now always appears when I open Firefox. 1.How can I stop this? 2.How can I eliminate urls I no longer nris?

I have a Motorola Droidx.
Re Question 2, I just don't want to have to wait through every word I haven't looked up on dictionary.com to find a site I looked up yesterday that was interesting but not interesting enough to bookmark.

You can set the Firefox home page by opening the menu key, selecting preferences, then use the 'Start page' drop down menu to chose the option you want.
Firefox mobile does not have a way to remove select URLs from the History. Just the global clear private data button. There are extensions that will allow you to clear just history or cookies but that is not quite what you want.

I get two tabs with my identical home page every time I open Firefox. How do I "unpin" one of them so that only one tab is populated when I open Firefox?

When I installed Firefox I inadvertently responded "yes" when asked if I wanted to "pin" my home page to the browser. l also designated that page (my Juno page) as my home page. So now whenever I open Firefox, two tabs appear with my identical home page. How do I fix it so that only one tab appears when I open Firefox?

Its not my home page, Like I said, I hae my home page also come up in a different tab (google) I also get the welcome to FF4 on a seperate tab. My home page is set to google. But I dont want the welcome screen to pop up

When I open Firefox my homepage comes up (good!) but often a second page/tab comes up with an annoying ad. My pop-up blocker is enabled and there are no exceptions listed. How can I stop this?

I recently had a virus attack and have cleared them with Malwarebytes Anti-malware. This problem didn't happen before the attack. In addition to happening when I open Firefox, occasionally an unwanted ad will pop-up in a new tab while using Firefox.

Firefox can store multiple home pages, check to make sure that the ad site is not listed as a home page. See [[how to set the home page]] for details.
You should run a scan with some other scanners to ensure that malwarebytes did not miss any. Some scanners you can try are:

* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Lavasoft Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html Spybot-S&D]

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files with Bridge they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's or something I can view and edit?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

I have just started to use Muse for our design agency and learning how to build ourselves a new site, I have managed to create a basic lightbox which contains sliding images, what I need to do now is have a pop up window which goes into detail about the projects, what I would like is a piece of text or icon that when you roll over it and then click a separate window pops up with additional information in, once finished reading the info you can then click to close the box, any advice on how to do this?

The best way to do what you're asking is with the Composition widget. Start with the Tooltip preset, which, by default shows the info on rollover. You can change the option to show on click, which is what you're after. You can also add the close button or have the info disappear on rollout.

How do I set a specific page to open when I open a new tab in Firefox? I can open the page when initially opening Firefox, but not for subsequent tabs/pages.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Why does Yahoo Search appear when I open a new tab, when Google is my default homepage?

Ever since I upgraded to 4.0, when I open a new tab the yahoo search page appears, but my homepage is www.google.com.
I have three tabs open at all times on my main foxfire window and always ask to restore them: Yahoo mail (my account), www.imdb.com, and http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/. Anytime I open a new tab http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears, but my default homepage is set to www.google.com.
Interestingly, when I open a new window for firefox my default homepage of www.google.com appears, but http://search.yahoo.com/?fr=freeze&type=W3i_NA,132,3_6,Tab%20Search,20110104,6894,0,16,0 appears when I open new tabs.
Why????
Very annoying, but the highest of priorities.
Thanks.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

When I open firefox, it opens a pdf file as well as home page - how do i stop this?

Since upgrading to v5, when I open firefox, it opens a pdf file as well as my home page. I cannot see any setting or fields in "options" that can be causing this - how do i stop the pdf from opening?

Why didn't you remove all three prefs.js files?
You may have left one file prefs.js that is causing the problems.
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
