I got a virus that made it so when I open a new tab it takes me to a bad website. How do I modify the website when I open a new tab?

All I need to know is how to change the website that initially is launched when I press the new tab button (the plus sign at the top). How do I change it back to Firefox's original setting of the page where there is about nine previewed websites that I pinned and/or used frequently?

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • I did your Firefox 5.0 security update and got a virus that caaused my computer to go haywire and kept jumping from page to page as if someone had remote access to my computer.

    I recently updated Firefox on my desktop to 4.0. About a week ago I got the pop up for the 5.0 security update. I went ahead and updated and within an hour my computer started switching screens and going back several pages. I closed the internet and ran my virus scan but nothing was found. I then opened my windows task and tried to look to see what other new updates or programs were installed but again the computer would not let me open the window and kept changing the screen and going back several pages. I ended up having to do a system restore to factory settings and it was still happening. I had to go in and disable the remote access option in order for my computer to function properly.

  • I just got a macbook air for xmas- now i wont get texts on my iPhone. they go right to my laptop. how can i get the texts to go to BOTH devices?

    My hubby just got me a macbook air for Xmas which is awesome.  Set it up to be able to ichat on it as well as on my iphone.  Only now i wont get texts on my iphone- ONLY on my laptop.  How can i configure so that I can get texts on my computer AND my phone.

    Hi,
    The Mac version will use your Apple ID as the first and only choice...
    ... Until you add the same Apple ID to Messages on the iPhone.
    Once this is done it is best to Restart the app on the Mac.
    This will then get at least one, possibly two pop up saying the iPhone in using the Apple ID and the iPhone Number.
    Accepting these Pop ups will enable the iPhone as an ID to be used in the Receive At List.
    It will also appear in the drop down at the bottom for "Start New Conversations from"
    If you did not set iyt up like this then remove the apple ID from the iPhone in the Settings > Messages.
    Place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the server.
    Take it out of Airplane Mode and re-add the Apple ID in the Messages settings.
    Then Restart the app on the Mac as above.
    Having done this you can still turn Off the Apple ID on the iPhone (receive as the iPhone number only) or disable the iPhone Number on the Mac (receive Apple ID stuff only)
    The Start New Conversations option on the Mac version means you could use the iPhone number so people don't get your email.

  • How can I modify the about:config page to automatically install/allow a new addon that I dropped in the profile folder?

    We are pushing policy to create an add-on for our workstations in our labs. It is the click once .net assistant, and when we push the folder, prefs.js, and config.ini with policy the add on works, but FFx comes up with the 'allow installation' tab every time. Is there a way to enable/install the addon without that page coming up?
    We work in a 'frozen' environment (Faronics DeepFreeze), so using policy for fixes like this is nice, but we are hoping to clean it up so we don't see that allow installation tab.
    Thanks for the help!

  • TELUS called us and said they have detected Flashback virus from our MacBook Pro with retina display i just want to ask if this is possible and how can I fix the problem thanks

    If your OS is fully up-to-date, that is close to impossible. The Flashback site has not been known to be active since long before August.
    Did you migrate any users from an older system, perhaps? It might have been transferred if that is the case.
    ISP's are famous for mis-diagnosing these things with regard to Macs, so you might want to challenge them to provide you with their logs and specifics about what they are seeing.
    Is it possible that another device is on your network that could be causing this, either something you own or a neighbor using your network?

  • I can't sync apps to my iPad. They tell me to authorize my computer. But, I have already done that. A relative of mine downloaded apps to my iPad from her Apple ID. So how can I sync the iTunes apps from my PC to my iPad?

    I had gotten this iPad 2 from one of my relatives who had already purchased some apps using her Apple ID, after I got the iPad, I downloaded some apps from iTunes on PC through my own Apple ID, when I try to sync them to my iPad, they tell me to authorize my computer, but I've already done that. So, how can I sync my apps to my iPad? (By the way, I don't know anything about the Apple ID of my relative).

    delete/uninstall the apps that your relative downloaded on you iPad. to do that tap and hold on and icon til it shakes, once its shaking downloaded apps will havee (X) mark on them on a red bubble, tap on it to delete

  • I am unable to open I cloud with my apple I'd every time I try message comes that " max no of account have been activated on your I pad"  what needs to be done,how can I delete the accounts which I had opened as I don't remember the I'd and passwords

    Can any one help me on this

    It seems that you've been trying to create Apple IDs (even if you thought you were just trying to use one to make an iCloud account) and you have reached the max allowed number of IDs you can create on the device (which is 4 or 5 as I recall). The only way to create yet another one is to use a different device or a computer. No other way around this.
    If on the other hand you want to USE an existing one, go to Settings>iCloud and enter that ID. 

  • Got mini, and was trying to download old purchases but it timed out and they are all just sitting there, how do I cancel the downloads?

    Quit iTunes.

    Restart iTunes and see if the *Show at startup box* is at the lower left of the tutorial window.
    If so, uncheck it.

  • The new toolbar lineup in recent versions of Firefox is bad. How can I put the tab listing back where it belongs, as in v3.6?

  • How do I modify the Long Description of video files, so that it shows up when on the iPad or using Home Sharing?

    The content manually inserted into the Description field in iTunes does not display in either the iPad Video App nor when using Home Sharing. I then used MetaX to populate the Long Description field, which one cannot modify directly in iTunes. However, the descriptions still do not show up on either the iPad or when using Home Sharing. The problem is only with TV shows that I ripped from legitimate DVDs; items bought from iTunes seem to work fine. So I opened up a file bought on iTunes with MetaX, and the Long Description field is not even populated leading me to believe Apple had that information stored elsewhere. This is getting so frustrating, and Apple customer care does not seem to care.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? Where has Apple hidden the long descriptions for TV shows that do show up on Home Sharing? Is there other 3rd party software that may fix the problem? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

    Hey KKnoeck,
    Should you decide to rewatch the episodes you've deleted, you may be able to re-download them as detailed in the article linked below.
    Download past purchases
