I can't get to the Mozilla Firefox browser so I've gone back to Google. Help?

I was happily using a previous version of Mozilla firefox with all my settings and then decided to upgrade to the latest version. It's all installed ok but where is the browser? You guys have made it so confusing I've had to go back to google. I have the screen with the bear wearing hat and cane, next to a spin wheel, but how do I get to the browser? Very frustrated - Please advise.

Are you saying that you don't have the Menus at the top of the Firefox window (File, Edit, View, etc.)? If that is the case:
#Press Alt on the keyboard to bring up the menus
#Click on the View menu, go down to Toolbars and select Menu Bar to make menu stay.
For more info see, [[Menu bar is missing]].

The mozilla firefox browser vertical slide bar is moving up and down automatically?

The mozilla firefox browser vertical slide bar is moving up and down automatically. This is happening when i am browsing internet?

Hello,
You said you have disabled all add-ons and plug-ins. This may be a repeat exercise but can you please test for the problem when Firefox is in safe mode. This disables plug-ins as well but also applies various other changes. See here for details:
[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If the problem still appears in Safe Mode then it may be that there is still some part of Hola that is causing the problem. You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
* [http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208283363 TDSSKiller - AntiRootkit Utility]
* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
If none of that works then I suggest resetting Firefox. This will return Firefox to its default state but will keep your personal data, bookmarks etc. See here for instructions:

I hope that helps.

How can I remove livesearch from the Mozilla Firefox browser window?

Somehow I got the live-search malware embedded into the Firefox browser window. I have tried to remove it using SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot-S7D, and Malwarebyte. Plus ran AVG. Did all four of these several times. But I still have livesearch.
How do I get rid of it? Will uninstalling Firefox and the reinstalling it work. If I uninstall Firefox and reinstalling it, will I loos all my bookmarks?
Please Help!
Thanks,
Naturewoman

Generally speaking, uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox doesn't solve most problems unless you remove all your personal settings, which I definitely do NOT recommend.
These kinds of infiltrations can take some effort to remove. To make it easier, Firefox now had a "reset" feature which preserves your bookmarks but strips away custom settings and extensions, which are the source of most problems.
You could try manually removing the "Printing Helper" extension and resetting your search settings first. If these don't help, then try the reset.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Then run the Search Reset extension from here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/searchreset/

Any luck?

How can I get to the real FireFox homepage. I dont google.

I always get the google search page on startup. I have tried "resetting to default" but I am still stuck with google. If I start with the add-on's page I don't get google but I have yet to see the "awesome bar".

'''about:home''' ''is'' the default Homepage in Firefox 4. This - http://www.google.com/firefox - was the Homepage in earlier versions of Firefox.
The "Awesome Bar" has been part of Firefox since Firefox 3, it's not new for Firefox 4. What you see different than the mock-ups is that on WinXP and W2K the Menu bar is the default view, rather than the orange Firefox button. Right-click the Menu bar and click on Menu Bar to de-select it to have the Firefox button show.

How can I get version 5 of Firefox browser - version 6 doesn't work with my computer Mac OS 10.5.8

I'm sorry I don't have an answer to your problem, but I wrote to them also to get back the old Firefox, where Google was there. I lost one of my toolbars with certain
bookmarks, this is a major headache. If you get any info. I would like it if you could let me know and I will do the same. [email protected]

I have Wildblue email, igoogle start page is beeing removed, now I can't get to my mail, firefox keeps trying to go to igoogle start page, Help Please.

A new Windows 8 opp.system. It has Google all through it, I don't like google, but google is who Wildblue uses for mail. Right from the start I tried to set some short cuts to get to mail, but the google stuff already in there would intersept my efforts, so I would have to type in wildblue and thenI would get there and I'm guessing, that Firefox started automatically do the rest. Now that the igoogle start page has gone away, they are fasing it out, it is suppose to go right to my mail, instead it keeps trying to go to igoogle start page, over & over & over & ......
I see now that my other tab shows that it finally got to my mail. Will this be the norm, or will it self correct?

When you start typing in the address bar, Firefox may suggest your most frequently used site address, and show other frequently/recently used sites in a drop-down list. To get Firefox to stop suggesting a particular site, try using the down arrow key on the keyboard to go down and select it, then press the Delete key, then arrow up or down to the site you really want to clear that unwanted address from the address bar.
If you haven't already, you might want to create a bookmark for your new mail site. Not only does this provide one-click access (or two-click, if you use the menu rather than the Bookmarks Toolbar), but it helps speed access when you start typing in the address bar.
Some related help articles:
* [[How to use bookmarks to save and organize your favorite websites]]
* [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar]]
With respect to iGoogle, it's possible that going to this page is a Google setting. Two things to check:
(1) While you are logged in to your Google account, check whether you've somehow specified you want iGoogle instead of the main Google page or Gmail.
(2) Remove your Google cookies. This will clear out preferences related to Google that are stored on your computer (separate from the ones stored in your account). You can do that as follows:
First, save any pending work such as draft messages or Google Docs documents you're editing. While viewing a page on Google, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Hopefully now Google will forget your previous interest in iGoogle.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos. Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

Mozilla Firefox browser stopped working altogether about 6-8 weeks ago!

We love Mozilla Firefox...and, as genuine early adopters and "pioneers," have been using it since day one! That is until our service was disrupted about a month or two ago and we were forced to use IE as default Browser.
Wha happened?
At first we thought something was wrong with the settings in our PC (DELL desktop, 32 bit, Vista), they they had somehow gone 'out of whack' and were making it impossible to open MF any longer. What a disaster! The first and second level Support team at AT&T tried everything, including removing and reloading our Mozilla Firefox browser app, but to no avail...even after running through this process as well as other basic protocols a number of times.
Interestingly, a friend called me yesterday complaining that a virus (Trojan) had invaded his computer and was wreaking havoc in a number of ways. When I asked what the symptoms were, he said, "well, the main one is I can no longer use my Mozilla Firefox browser!"
I couldn't believe my ears. What do you guys know about this symptom and what can I do to fix it? Is it some kind of MS IE conspiracy we are up against?
Thank you!

Got that mha007, and many thanks for jumping into the fray with us. However, once I am confronted by the Safe Mode window I do not know what to do next, e.g.,
"You can elect to make the following changes:
•Disable all add-ons
•Reset toolbars and controls
•Reset bookmarks to Firefox defaults
•Restore default search engines
•Disable all add-ons
•Reset toolbars and controls"
Which, if any, do I check... and, importantly, why?
Please reference my note to Weather15 (about 3 notes above)...
"However---and this may be significant based on your advice earlier,
when I went back to START and right clicked on the Mozilla Firefox
icon, I was able to initiate a'Safe Mode' execution, which then presented
me with the 'Safe Mod window' mentioned at the site.
If I simply "Continue in Safe Mode," without selecting any of the
options offered in the window, e.g., "Disable all add-ons," I am still
unable to open or run Mozilla Firefox...so nothing has been fixed or
changed.
What, if any, boxes in the Safe /Mode window should I try checking?
And, having run both SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes several
times now, why has the malware or virus not at least been recognized if
not removed the ''perp''?"

When I click on the Mozilla Firefox icon, I cannot get to my homepage so I can use the Internet.

I have Windows XP. When I usually click on the Mozilla Firefox icon on my desktop, my Homepage comes up with weather, news headlines, etc. Now all I get is a screen with a search box for Google! I cannot get to the Internet anymore! Help!

When I go to Tools, Options, General, Homepage, there is nothing in the box for Homepage. So I clicked on default. Didn't work. Tried Msn.com, didn't work. There's a box that says Show Homepage also, but can't seem to make it all work. What should be in the box that's blank? How did it change on its own? HELP!

How can I download the Mozilla Firefox version 1.5 or 2?

I need the older versions I mention above for a program I want to use on my mac book pro. Those are currently the only versions supported by the website. How can I obtain them through your site? All I see are the newer 5.0 versions

After boot-up the following message appears with the Mozilla Firefox symbol:

You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
There is a "Continue" and a "Stop Script" button selection.
I'm not sure this is something to worry about.
I assume you have some web pages coming up when you start. One or more of these pages has a javascript program running when the page loads. This program is runnin' out of time for some reason.
Does your browser come up with some pages loaded? Try getting rid of these pages. The message should go away.
We have version 1.5.0.2 of Firefox installed. Firefox appears to run without issue.
You may want to try a newer webrowser.
