How to solve Firefox keep accessing Program Files when I open it?

When I open Firefox, instead of showing the homepage(which is google.com for me) it bring [file:///C:/Program%20Files%20%28x86%29/Mozilla%20Firefox/]. I don't want it to be this way but I don't know how to solve it.
please help :D

Open a new window or tab. In the address bar, type '''about:config'''.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Enter '''browser.newtab.url'''
and press enter. '''browser.newtab.url'''
tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to;
'''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
'''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
'''about:blank''' (a blank page),
or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want.
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''browser.startup.homepage'''.

Firefox keeps hijacking my files.

Firefox keeps hijacking my files. They can then be opened only with Firefox, and then other tools (which were written to use Internet Explorer) cannot do their job. Unfortunately, since the laptop is owned by my employer, I cannot simply remove Firefox from the laptop. How can I disable Firefox without removing it from my PC?
== As soon as I started using the laptop.

You can choose to open files with other applications by right clicking them and using the '''Open With...''' menu. From here, just choose the program you want to edit HTML files in.
When Firefox is the default browser, it becomes the default program for opening HTML files. If you want to change this, you can do this by right clicking a file and choosing Open With->Other. From here, pick the application you want to use, then check "Always use this program for files of this type".

How do I find out what program / file is using 100 GB of space on my Hard drive? Once I find the problem how do I delete the specific files to increase GB of space?

How does iTunes use or access existing files?

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

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.

Hello
Simple problem - don,t know how to solve it.
With Premiere CC when I try to do a selection (click... drag... release the click) very often it stop way before the end of the move I'm swinging the Magic Mouse. I taught that the mouse clicking was defective and went to get a new Magic Mouse after lots of frustration. Today, I have an edit to do it it does the SAME thing !!
I was like ????#$%?&*(???
Opened all the lights and taught I've trow the new mouse to the garbage and was using the defective mouse again... no !! - ??
Actually, the bran new mouse is doing the same thing. What I understand after investigating on the motion and watching carefully my fingers !! - is that when I click I have to keep my finger at the EXACT same place on the mouse... drag and release and it's fine. If I click by pushing on the mouse and my finder is moving of a 1/32th of a millimeter, it will release and my selection will be to redo. You can understand my frustration ! - 75$ later... same problem, but I know that if I click with about 5 pounds of pressure and trying to pass my finger through the plastic of the mouse, it you stay steady and make it !
The problem is that scrolling is enable while clicking and it bugs.
How to disable it ??
Simple question - can't find the answer !

Helllooo !?
sorry but the Magic Mouse is just useless with the new Adobe Premiere CC and since I'm not the only one but can't find answer this is really disappointing. This mouse is just fantastic and now I have to swap from a USB mouse to the Magic Mouse every times I do some editing. My USB mouse if hurting my hand somehow and I want to got back to the Magic Mouse asap. Please - for sure there is a simple solution !
Thanks !!

Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC?

Why does the folder "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Elements" open automatically when I start my PC? How do I adjust settings to stop this from happening?

Hi,
This folder is probably treated as a program to run at startup.
So you will have to look at the places where such programs are referenced.
For instance, you may have a shortcut to that folder in your Start Menu > Startup.
Or it may be in the Registry.
Click on Start > Execute, the type msconfig and click OK.
This will show you in the Startup tab all the programs launched at startup.

FireFox keep saying "unexpected error" when trying to print web pages.

FireFox keep saying "unexpected error" when trying to print web pages. The print preview works OK, but when you try to print that "unexpected error" jumps up.
Please email me on what to do to get FireFox to work.
I don't see anything in the FAQ that might help me.

Hi,
Please also try this setting: Windows start menu or Control Panel > '''Devices and Printers''', right-click the printer > '''Printer properties''' > '''Advanced''', and select '''Start printing after the last page is spooled'''. In this case you can also close Firefox after spooling is over (usually much faster than direct printing), and printing will continue.
Also as a general case, if you have security software (antivirus, firewall etc.) installed, you can try deleting all existing instances of Firefox and its related processes/files in all the different configuration modules/areas of the security software like process monitoring, sub/spawned process control, virtualization, HIPS etc., in addition to the security software's main configuration panel. Instead create new fully allowed/trusted rules for Firefox + its related processes in all the different modules/panels - a genuine/original Firefox installer as well as all the installed EXEs (Application) and DLLs (Application extension) are digitally signed by Mozilla Corporation (right-click > Properties > Digital Signatures). Even otherwise, some security software may also ask again when Firefox and/or its sub processes are started, and you may be able to allow/trust at that time. Please see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firewalls this].

Firefox keeps crashing. Even when i start it in safe mode

I have a Windows 7 64bit computer working with firefox for a long time. Yesterday they think they opened some SPAM message, firefox crashed and isn't working any more. I have performed all actions mentioned below without any succes:
- Firefox does the same starting in safe mode. Removed the profiles and created a new one without importing any settings. same problem
- Removed Firefox, removed all folders, removed all Firefox links in registry. Reinstalled firefox, same problem
- Removed java and flash, firefox still crashes
- created a new user account in Windows, logged on, still the same problem.
- Scanned the computer with Norman Security Suite, McAffee Stinger, Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, TrendMicro Housecall. Except for cookies, nothing was found.
- Windows System restore wasn't configured so unfortunately no restore points available.
User was really happy with Firefox and really doesn't want to use another browser, but now she has to.
Reinstalling the OS isn't really an option, to much settings, software and connections to other devices in the network.
Can Anyone please help????

We're sorry to hear that Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

You can do that by using an add-on such as:
* NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
* New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

Firefox keeps asking for password when I send emails

Firefox version 35.0. When I open Firefox and get messages, no problems. When I write an email and send, Firefox asks me for password. I am able to send/receive emails while open. If I close Firefox and open, it asks for password when I send. Months ago, I changed my login password to Netzero.com (made it more secure). Since then, I've had this annoying password request. How to satisfy the login server password for receiving/sending emails?

Is it Firefox asking for the password, or the web site? The only time that
FF will ask for a password is if you have the '''Master Password''' active
in the '''Password Manager.'''
Open the '''Password Manager.''' There is a search bar at the top of the
page. Enter the name of the site. Press the button '''Show Passwords.'''
Is the information correct? '''Note:''' there may be more then one entry.
'''Left''' click the icon in the address bar. A window for displaying site information should come up. Select '''More Information.''' At the top of the window, select '''Security.''' Now select '''View Saved Passwords.'''

How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

How do I get rid of "unreadable files" when I am importing from my camera?

Are all images unreadable? What is the exact error message you are getting?
If only a few images are unreadable, try to import not all photos at once, but in smaller batches, until you know, which photo it is that cannot be read. Import all photos that can be read and reformat your card in the camera to remove the unreadable files.
But if all photos are unreadable, try, if Image Capture can read your card.
Is it a new camera? Have you been able to import from that camera before?
