I cannot make Win7 firefox home icon open Yahoo USA even though I have dragged it over.

I am using Win 7 and firefox keeps opening my home country's Yahoo site even though I did as told and dragged it to the HOME icon. What can I do to open some area to force Yahoo USA to be my home page? My previous XP computer was able to do this.

How does Yahoo detect location? You can turn on Do not track? [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]

  • .png files open in browser even though I have set prefs for .png files to "Always ask" instead. How fo I force Firefox to save .pngs and not open in browser?

    Forefox will not download or ask me to save .png files even though I set that file extension in Prefs -> Applications dialog box to be "Always ask"
    I have to be able to donwload and save .png files and I can't do that if they load in a browser window.

    I find it odd that the browsers on the Android platform can't support this on their own. I know that Google Chrome on it's full blown version for the PC is able to do so without using the Adobe software for the embedded PDF aka using "The Adobe PDF Link Helper" . I would love to see this change especially since I prefer Firefox over other browsers.

  • I can't open PDF files even though I have downloaded Adobe Reader.  I am using a Mac book Pro

    I can't open PDF files as the screen message says I have to reopen the computer and sign the Adobe Reader agreement but even though Adobe has downloaded I don't get any screen message indicating where I would do this.
    Where is this?

    after downloading, did you install adobe reader?

  • When i open firefox it wont open...even though it says it's running..

    when i click on the mozilla icon on my desktop, it won't open up...but yet in my task manager it's saying it's running...I tried to reboot and still not working...I'm able to use Internet Explorer...

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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 and the updater process.

  • Firefox keeps asking me what program to use to open file types even though I have selected one and checked "do this for all files of this type" going foward

    I am working in Windows and every time I open an attachment, Firefox asks what program to use to open files of this type. I always select the proper program and then check the box that says use this program for all future files of this type. In spite of that, the program continues to ask for every file. How do I turn off this feature and just have the program remember the correct program to use for each type of file extension?

    Regardless of your download preferences, web servers can trigger a download prompt by sending either the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' or the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header. You can check if that's the case by examining the server response headers in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Web_Console Web Console].
    For the latter problem install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if it helps.

    If the problem persists, post back here with either an example link or a screenshot of the relevant response headers in the Web Console.

  • I cannot open Adobe Reader even though I have downloaded it 4 times,  What's Wrong?

    I have downloaded Adobe Reader 4 times, but cannot open it.  What's Wrong

    You mean you get a message telling to LAUNCH Adobe Reader and accept the licensing agreement? In that case you need to launch Adobe Reader, as it says, not download it again!
    As with all apps on the Mac, you launch it by finding the app in the Applications folder, which you will find at the left side of any Finder window.

  • Firefox won't open pop-ups even though pop-up blocker is off.

    Hello,
    I'm a website designer using ff 3.6.13 on XP sp3 platform. FF is very temperamental with pop-ups so I shut off Pop-up blocker. Regardless of blocker being off, pop-ups are still blocked on a site I'm working on. Until recently, these Pop-up links used to work well in FF. They still work great in Chrome and IE.
    My Firewall program does not have pop-up blocker:
    An example of the pop-up is located on the "download" link at the top of this page listed below:
    http://www.technologymarketingcenter.com/resourcearchive/how-not-to-execute-guerilla-warfare.php

    There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:

    There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

  • I want my tabs to not open automatically and even though i have set to do that it still opens it automatically, i've tried all solutions that were provided nothing helps.

    i have the "when i open a new link in a tab, switch to it immediately" option unchecked. it still opens them when i open a new link. i found someone who was having the same problem but the solution to his problem did not help me. i have restored my prefrences, disabled all addons and plugins. nothing worked

    Hello Trey.
    I believe your issue comes from a slight misunderstanding... It's not your fault, of course, Firefox should be clearer in this aspect, but I should be able to clear the misunderstanding and make sure you know what's going on.
    The "when i open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" option only applies to tabs open deliberately in a new a tab. For example, when you middle-click (click your mouse's scroll wheel) a link (or use the appropriate contextual menu entry). It doesn't apply to links that are set by the site to open in a new tab. This is normal standard behavior, and isn't likely to change any time soon, but there are multiple things you can do so it doesn't bother you.
    For example, you can middle-click (or use the appropriate contextual menu entry) the links you want to open on a new tab, instead of right-clicking them and have them open in a new tab only if the site has instructed your browser to do so. You can also go into ''Tools > Options > Tabs > Open links that open in a new window in:'' and select "Current tab", so the links that are instructed by the website to open in a new window/tab, are open in the same tab, and so you have complete control of where each link opens. This setting, however, is known to cause some trouble in some websites that are pop-up-heavy, so use this with caution.
    I hope this helps.

  • I have Windows XP. Firefox updated to version 6 automatically even though I have it set to notify and ask. Also just automatically updated again. How can I stop this?

    I have Firefox set to automatically look for updates then ask if I want to install them. I do this when convenient (may also need to restrict downloads on another machine when paying for Internet use by amount downloaded) Until recently it did just this. Firtefox 6 seems to have downloaded & installed (& lost all passwords & cookies) I assumed this happened when someone else was using the machine & said yes. It has now automatically downloaded the latest update automatically and the settings are still set to ask me first. What has happened & how can I stop it please?

  • Iphoto calendar creation won't let me make a calendar more than 12 months long even though I have chosen a 14 page calendar

    In iphoto calendar creation, I have selected a 13 month calendar from December 2012-December 2013, wanting 13 pages.  I have selected all my photos for the year and have started placing them in the Calendar.  I'm at October and noticed that December is missing.  Thought maybe i didn't request a 13 month calendar, but I have.  Seems like the more months I want in the calendar, the end months keep dropping off.  If i want a 14 month calendar starting in November 2012, then November and December 2013 are then gone. so....I changed it over and over trying to get the months back, but to no avail.  I've created a new empty project calendar, requesting 13 months, and all 13 months are there.  Problem is.....how do I get all the pictures from the old calendar over to the new ones without having to reselected 200 pictures again?  Or is there a way to fix the original missing pages?  Thanks.

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it doesn't then your current library is the culprit.
    In that case make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Photo will not open in iPhoto even though I have thumbnails.

    Screen goes blank with a large '!' in it...... Can not get file to open at all
    Can anyone help

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD
