I cannot get Firefox to retain my homepage after following the correct procedure.

I have used the same homepage for several years. Now, all of a sudden, <www.searchqu.com/406> seems to have highjacked my homepage. I cannot get rid of it. I have gone through the procedure of going to Tools/Options/etc., to reset my homepage to my chosen one. I have clicked OK, opened new tabs, clicked on the homepage symbol and everything appears to be OK, however the next time I open Firefox, www.searchqu.com/406 appears as my homepage. I would like to remove/uninstall/delete or otherwise get rid of www.searchqu.com/406 altogether or at least hide it from Firefox's view. Any help ??

  • After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?

    After the latest update, all my apple products reverted to an old icloud account.  As it no longer exists, I cannot get into it to delete it and add the correct id.  How can I change this, especially on my Macbook pro?  There is no p/w related to it and even though I tried to reset "password" it won't allow as the id does not exist, neither does the email associated with the old id.  How do I switch it to a newer id?

    It's all rather odd because the old account cannot 'no longer exist' - if you don't have the correct password you won't be able to get into it, but you can't actually delete an iCloud account from the server.
    I'm afraid you will need the services of iCloud Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

  • I was no longer able to click on my Firefox icon and open . I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled and I still cannot get Firefox to open. It says that the download was successful. What should I do?

    I attempted to open Firefox as usual and when I clicked on the icon nothing happened. I uninstalled Firefox and then reinstalled. It said that the download for Firefox was successful but it still does not open. When I click on Firefox it now just says to upgrade Firefox. What should I do to get Firefox up and running again. I have a Mac and my Safari is linking me just fine to the internet so Apple says it is not a Mac problem but a Firefox problem.

    I notice you turned off the setting that diverts new windows to a new tab. Since the new window will open in front of your current tab, it may appear that the current tab was closed, when in fact it is behind the new window. This hard to explain in words.
    Do you want to switch the setting?
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Tabs
    Check the box for "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
    Does that help?

  • How do I get firefox to write out homepages to pdf-files correctly

    2011-08-22
    I have been using Firefox for many years now. I like this browser better than Safari. However. I have a problem when I have connected to a homepage over the web and want to write the content out to a pfd-file. The pdf-file does sometimes contain only one page. The material is good enough for two or more pages of output. I have checked that using Safari browser. I´d like to continue using Firefox so please tell med what to do!

    "Google" is a search engine (website) and NOT (repeat: NOT) a PDF viewer. It can't and won't open PDFs in any real or imaginable way.
    Firefox added their own proprietary PDF viewer with version 20 - they're on 21 now. I'll be the first to admit "it sucks". You CAN'T fill in PDF forms with it, and you can't email them from the page like with Opera, Safari or Chrome (which use the reader plug-in still).
    Unfortunately, the ONLY option you have now that they've added it and killed the ability for the Reader plug-in to work with Firefox, is Tools>Options>Applications - select Portable Document Format(PDF) and choose "Use Adobe Reader (Default)". What that will do is FORCE Firefox to download the PDF instead of opening it in their terrible PDF viewer in the browser window.
    Or... use one of the other browsers I mentioned. They're all free.

  • I cannot get Firefox to open using Startup folder with the shortcut

    I placed the Firefox shortcut in the Startup folder but it will not open Firefox automatically when I initially boot up.
    I tried putting other Applications in the Startup folder, such as IE, and they all work properly. It is only Firefox that will not open up. Firefox is my default browser.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi, there and thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I ran a very thorough 'scan and fix' with my Glary's Utilities and afterwards Firefox now opens properly. I'm not sure what the exact problem was but am just glad it is fixed.

  • I cannot get ics calendar invites from Outlook to display the correct time in iCal even though the correct time is in the description. This seems to be a common problem but I cannot find an answer. Please help.

     

    I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work.  So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

  • I cannot get Firefox as my homepage, it's covered by Xfinity. Please help.

    ''duplicate - locking - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/835447''
    When Adobe updated it shut my computer down. When it restarted Firefox was not available. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but still cannot get Firefox, still nothing but Xfinity.
    How do I get Firefox back as my homepage?

    Xfinity made itself your Firefox Start Page? You can change that. Check out the tips in this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page How to set the home page | How to | Firefox Help].
    If that doesn't stick, it's possible you have an Xfinity add-on. You could check here and disable it if you find one:
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons
    On the left side, click Extensions
    Any luck?

    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

    Have tried to uninstall and reinstall.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • I cannot get firefox to download -- a box comes up about firefox being a binary file (?) and do I want to save it or cancel -- I was told to save it, which I did but, after saving, I tried to get it to download again and this same box came back up

    Cannot get firefox 4.0 to download - saved binary code download - download still doesn't work - cannot use computer until this is resolved

    For Flash, could you try downloading the "full" installers from this page:
    https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
    In the first table, there are two rows for Windows: one for the ActiveX control for IE, and one for the plugin for Firefox. You might want to grab both. And try the .msi files instead of the .exe files to see whether those work better.
    Will either of those install?
    It's odd that on a newly rebuilt system your More System Details shows that you have a user.js file, which is an optional settings files used to override your previous session settings. This is not part of the standard Firefox installation, so if you did not create that file yourself, you may want to investigate or delete it. This article has more information on that: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].

  • I cannot get firefox to launch

    I cannot get firefox to launch. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall without luck. Yesterday I did notice that my menu bar was missing and tried to reinstall a Google toolbar, but, had to close the computer before it was finished. Not sure if the two are related.

  • I cannot get firefox to open, could security setting interfer? I use AVG

    On Wednesday 9/28 Comcast changed my modem and now I cannot get Firefox to open, when I click my mouse on the icon I get a brief hourglass and that quickly goes away and Firefox doesn't open.

    The extension(s) that AVG installs can certainly be a problem, disable "AVG Safe" for a temporary solution, but it is better to reinstall AVG without the Link Scanner component, and as always be vigilant in rejecting additional crapware, please review all of the following but particularly information concerning "AVG Safe".

  • I had to change a password stored in Firefox, and now I cannot get Firefox to remember a new password.

    As stated, I was required to change a password, yet the old password still appeared in the field, so I went into settings and deleted the old one, but now I cannot get Firefox to save the new password. And yes, I have wasted a lot of time attempting the "solutions" on the help sites, but nothing has worked. Thank you for any help.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in (permanent) Private Browsing mode (Never remember history).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Private+Browsing
    The website may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving form data like name and password.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox store form data like names and passwords.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/User_name_and_password_not_remembered
    Note that Firefox won't auto-fill saved form data automatically when autocomplete=off is used, so you need to double-click the empty name field to get a drop-down list.

  • I cannot get Firefox to maximize from the toolbar after the update.

    I have had no issues with firefox opening on my pc (running windows 8) prior to today. When I signed in there was an update (firefox) and I immediately noticed that I cannot get Firefox to go fullscreen from the task bar. If you hover over the firefox icon you can see the tiny window with the page loaded, but I cannot get it to maximize. I uninstalled and re installed twice to no avail. Chrome and Internet explorer work fine, but I need my Firefox up and running for work!! Please any advice will be highly appreciated! Thank you.

    I will also add that I have a laptop running windows 8 that got through the update with no issues. I just checked and firefox updated to the latest version and works fine.

    I have a new iPod and cannot get my music loaded on to it. The computer says it's not connected, and then it says it is synced but there's still no mucis on it.

    If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
