I downloaded, installed and uninstalled firefox 24 yesterday but it had a search engine which I don't want, how can I download without this search engine.

How can I download firefox without the search engine it automatically takes me to when I open a new tab.?

its not search engine change homepage you like
et a single website as your home page
If you like to keep things simple, here’s how to set your home page in three easy steps.
Open the website you want to set as your home page. If you want a blank home page, open a new tab.
Click the icon to the left of the web address, drag it to the Home button, and release.
Home page Win1
Click Yes to set this as your home page.
Try it out: Click the Home button and your new home page will load in the current tab. It doesn’t get much easier than that!
Set more than one website as your home page
This is the way to have one-click access to all of your favorite websites. For example, you can set the Firefox home button to open your email, favorite news site, and Facebook all at once.
Open a new window and load the first web site you want in your home page.
Click the new tab button and open the next web site. Repeat this step until you've opened all the desired sites in new tabs.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
Select the General panel.
Click Use Current Pages.
Home page Win2
Click OK to close the Options window
Try it out: Close all of your tabs and then click the Home button. Watch all of your chosen pages open up in tabs. Do it again! You know you want to.
Note: Setting too many pages as your home page can make Firefox take long to start up.
Restore the default home page
If you want to delete your home page customizations, this is the way to do it.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
Select the General panel.
In the Startup box, click Restore to Default.
Home page Win3
Click OK to close the Options window
Set what pages open when Firefox starts
This is a great feature you can use in addition to the home page settings. To save time, you can have Firefox open the pages you were visiting the last time you used it so you can continue where you left off.
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Options
Select the General panel.
In the Startup box, click the dropdown menu next to "When Firefox starts:" and select what Firefox should display when it starts up.
Show my home page - Displays the home page(s).
Show a blank page - Displays a blank page. This loads quickly since you don't have to wait for lots of tabs to load.
Show my windows and tabs from last time - Opens the pages you were visiting the last time you used Firefox so you can continue where you left off. For more information, see Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows.
Click OK to close the Options window .
Try it out: If you really want to get fancy, you can set a group of web sites as your home page and set Firefox to open the pages you were visiting the last time you used it. That way, you can pick up your work where you left off and have one-click access to your favorite sites.
Tying it all together
Firefox is really flexible – "you" decide what works best. Keep it simple and set a single website as your home page or set up one-click access to your favorite web sites and save time by having Firefox pick up where you left off when it starts. What works best for you? Try and see!
Having problems?
We have answers:
If you keep getting the "Firefox has just updated" tab every time Firefox starts, see the article Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix.
If your home page settings are not saved, see How to fix preferences that won't save.

  • When i want to return to my home page I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want how can I stop this as i have too many tabs open.

    When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.

    You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
    Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that flush the tab?
    Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior.

  • Having major problem cannot use my arrow to open anything on page only about 2 in down from browser will it work I have installed and uninstalled firefox

    arrow does not open anything 2 in. below the toolbar works fine below that I've installed and uninstalled Firefox several times will not work using Firefox11 very hard to access a lot of things especially when ordering online cannot submit any info required

    If the inoperable button or link is near the top of the page....
    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • HT4101 I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to down photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please.

    I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?

    The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
    Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

  • I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I've logged onto iTunes, but it's asking me security questions because it's a new device, and I'm getting the answers wrong, but iTunes wants to reset but send the new passwords to my ex partners email address how can I get round this.

    I believe part of the recovery process is you get an e-mail allowing you to reset questions.  If that e-mail isn't correct either because your son set it up then you really have no option but to ask Apple again.  They are getting strict abotu security and given the number of "My iTunes account got hacked" posts here I can guess why.  They have no way of knowing you really are the owner of the account.  It's like me going to a policeman and saying, "See that car over there?  That is mine, can you open the door for me?" and the police opening it on that basis alone.

  • I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    I backed up my bookmarks to an external drive, rebuilt my system, and now when I try to restore from that file, I get "unsupported file type" How can I restore from this file?

    Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension: .html for a HTML backup and .json for a JSON backup.<br />
    You can check that via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties.<br />
    If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File"<br />
    A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links.<br />
    A JSON backup starts with: {"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":<br />
    An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>
    You may need to add quotes ("") around the name to rename the file to the correct file extension.

  • I am in switzerland and would like to download movies to my iPad but all the movies available seem to be in German? How can i download movies in english?

    I am in switzerland and would like to download movies to my ipad but all the available movies seem to be in german? How can i find the selection of the movies in english?

    No, you need to be in the UK with a UK billing address on your account to use the UK store
    You can try requesting that the English language versions be added to your country's store (you've checked to see if the film's description page says if it has alternative languages on it ?), but unless the film studio/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell them there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) but I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

    I've unchecked the boxes for apple e-mails (news and iTunes offers) after following the link at the bottom of a marketing e-mail from Apple.
    Unfortunately I still get marketing info which I don't want. What else can I do to stop the spam?

    The e-mail checks out as having come from an IP address registered to Apple.
    Received-SPF: pass (mxeu0: domain of insideapple.apple.com designates 17.254.6.124 as permitted sender) client-ip=17.254.6.124; envelope-from=[email protected]; helo=msbadger0204.apple.com;
    The sender address wasn't spoofed and all the links in the mail lead to legitimate apple web sites. (It was an advert for a MacBook Air christmas special). There was a link at the bottom of the e-mail which takes me to the Apple 'manage your e-mails' page.
    List-Unsubscribe: <http://mynews.apple.com/subscriptions?v=2&la=de_de&.....
    On this page there are check boxes for the various Apple news and iTunes marketing e-mails, and the option to change my e-mail address. The boxes are not checked but I still get marketing e-mails.

  • TS1702 I bought a song today from iTunes but it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again?

    I bought a song today on iTunes and it cuts off over a minute before the song ends, how can I download it again or fix the problem. It happens on my MacBook Pro and my iPod Touch 4G

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the track from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • HT1212 I took the passcode lock off of my iPhone 5 and now I can't get on to my iPad. It is asking for the passcode and when I use the one that was set up it locks me out. How can I get past this?

    I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!

    Force iPad into Recovery Mode. Follow step 1 to 6 very closely.

  • I want to download Firefox for Mac OS 10.4.11, but it downloads Firefox 4 even when I click on 3.6 0r 3.5. How can I download the correct Firefox for Mac OS 10.4.11??

    I have Mac OS 10.4.11. My Mac Laptop Pro has a new hard drive and has been completely refurbished by Apple. However ever since, I have not been able to obtain the correct Firefox. Prior to the replacement of my hardrive, I had Firefox and used it for many years. Not being able to download the correct Firefox is frustrating. Firefox 4 will NOT work on Mac OS 10.4.11. But every time I click on a download of 3.5 or 3.6 the download turns out to be Firefox 4. I cannot use Firefox 4, do not want Firefox 4 but it keeps trying to plant itself on my computer even though it will NOT work on my computer. YIKES!!!!

    There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
