I am new to firefox. when i loaded firefox and set my home page," mozilla opening page" always opens as well. how do i stop that? in English"

it opens in another tab. is this an automaticv process or can it be turned off?

After starting go to the tab you don't want for home page and delete. When in your proper home page selection goto tools..options and select current. Restart. You should be ok. BTW this will happen with all upgrades and updates.

Bing is taking over Firefox - auto starts on start, or grabs the home page if I start it - how do I stop this? Go to Safari?

Every few months, Bing takes control of Firefox:
When I start the computer, Bing autostarts FF and then makes itself the home page.
If I quickly close FF - I am really upset about this Bing thing and will never use it, so I shut down the autostart FF - and then open FF myself, Bing will open as the home page.
When I check options Gmail is set as the home page. When I check bookmarks, there is nothing for Bing.
This is a pretty egregious MS malware program.
How do I stop this, and keep it from re-occurring? Note that I've already tried the resetting of FF, which means I must reinstall all extensions. That works but only for a few weeks. The Bing malware is back. How do I get rid of this, once and for all? Or could Mozilla have a legal chat with MS, since they are "grabbing" your software in the worst malware fashion.
I use an ASUS F502c. It came with Windows 8; I've upgraded that to 8.1
Thanks,

When I try to add a new search add-on I get a "Firefox Add-on" search rather than the one I tried to install. How do I stop that from happening?

The Add-on Manager shows the add-on I downloaded but the drop down menu shows a Firefox Add-on search option.

The search on the search bar that Has as an icon a green jigs-saw piece and the title ''Firefox Add-ons'' is specifically for searching for Firefox addons, as you may have guessed from its name. It is available from the addons pages.
It will take you to pages such as https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox or parts of that site. The page https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/search/?atype=4 is actually many pages with over 3000 items offered.
If with the Firefox dd-ons search engine selected in the search bar you type in IMDb that will give you something like this
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search/?q=IMDb
*1 including https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imdb-search-1/?src=search
*# that opens to a page with a download button, labelled [Add to Firefox] once clicked that should download the search engine, and give you an option to install it. Other searches for addons work in a similar way.
That specific option may not be a good choice the add on did not actually work for me.
* Note many others available from http://mycroftproject.com/imdb-search-plugins.html
IMPORTANT once you have use the search remember you may wish to reset it to whatever you use in day today browsing. That may be Google. Note the location bar, and other Firefox searches all use whatever is currently selected in the Search bar.

Lion starts by loading Mail and an old message in spite of resume being turned off. How do I stop it?

With a single desktop Lion starts by loading Finder, immediately followed by Mail with an expanded 6 month old email. I've turned off resume in Preferences and the box is cleared at shut down. I've used CleanMyMac and Onyx to purge caches.
While Quit gets rid of it, I'd rather it wasn't there! Where is it lurking? Help please, but being new to Macs, words of one syllabel would be appreciated.

Ok, There is only one way to solve this problem, Delete the app that you download and then restart your phone (make sure you saved your data in iCloud).
And if that don't work maybe can help you more.

Again if you want to help do so here. Drawing posters to email conversations is against the TOS of this forum.
Anyway:
Currently there is no way to remotely hack an iPhone. If it was doing strange things it may have been a glitch or bug in the iPhone.
Have you tried restarting the phone? Hold down the Home and sleep/power buttons until the Apple logo shows up.
If its still acting up a replacement would be in order.

I want to switch my new iPad to my account, email etc and put the old iPad under my husbands account, email etc. How do I do that?

i just bought the new iPad and want to change the older iPad to my husband and have it use his email account, name and other apps and put the new iPad under my email, accounts etc.

Sync and backup your old iPad one last time and then connect the new iPad to iTunes and you will be given the option to set up as new or restore from the backup of the old iPad. Choose the restore from the backup option. After the iPad restores, follow that with a sync with iTunes.
You can erase the old iPad by going to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then your husband can set it up as a new device and sync with his own iTunes library or content.

I keep getting Chase Bank ads opeing in Safari on my Ipad when I am playing games or puzzles. It keeps opening continuously. How do I stop it

I keep getting Chase Bank ad opening a window in Safari while I am playing a game. I have to keep going back to home and clicking on the game. It happens every few seconds that I can't play the game.

2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

I'm trying to import a new cd, but when I load it in, iTunes shuffles the track listing. What the heck?!

I'm trying to import a new cd, but when I load it in, iTunes shuffles the track order. What the heck?!

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

How can I eliminate the "new tab" when I open Firefox to my preset Home Page?

I have Firefox installed on a desktop and a netbook. On the desktop, when I launch Firefox it takes me to my homepage, and that is the only tab open. On the netbook, it opens to the homepage correctly, but there is also a second, blank tab, carrying the header "New Tab", just as though I had clicked on the "New Tab" icon in the toolbar. Since my homepage is a specialized search engine which opens each result in a new tab of its own, having the blank one already in place is annoying. How do I stop it from opening on launch?

Make sure that there isn't a pipe symbol appended to the home page setting.

I have Mozilla Firefox installed, w/. my Home Page setup to be opened on It every time. I can open a new window on It too, but when I open a new tab, every time open this new tab w/. Untitled Page. I wanna It opening w/. my Home Page.

Firefox is coded to open new tabs in a blank page. That may change in Firefox 4. I don't know.
In the meantime, there is an add-on called Tab Mix Plus that I think provides that option. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/

When Firefox 5.0 starts, it automatically adds a new blank tab. How can I stop that?

When I launch Firefax 5.0, a second blank tab automatically launches. How can I stop that from happening, as it reduces visible display area and I then have to close the tab?

Check the Home page setting:

When I click the home button firefox switches to the home page, but also opens a new tab with the firefox startup page.

This is so annoying. I wind up with a bunch of extra tabs that I have to close.

Make sure that you haven't set multiple home pages, separated by a pipe (|) symbol.

I have a brand new macbook with microsoft office loaded. I set outlook as the default mail. i would rather go back to mac mail but can't figure out how to do it. any ideas?
Thanks for any help
Lou

I have a similar problem: I switched from mac mail to Outlook 2011 as the default client, and want to switch back. Mailto links (eg from browser etc) default to Mail. However, when I try to email a Word document as an attachment, it continues to open Outlook. Outlook has a button in its prefs for making it the default client, but I don't see a way to turn this pref off in either Outlook or in Word.

Why do the options for a new Home page always appear first when I sign in when I already have a Home page?

The screen page for creating a new Firefox Home page always shows up first when I sign on.....but, I already have a Home page and have to click again to get there.
How can I get Firefox to go directly to my actual Home page?
