I had some trouble downloading a particular web site and I fiddled with my browser settings, now it's worse! How can I restore the original settings?

In an effort to solve the problem below, I fiddled with a lot of settings. How can I revert to the settings as they originally featured ? (the default settings)

See:

You can use "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.

  • I am using the latest Safari. When I open a saved web page, the page is replaced by a grid view of 12 sites I visited.  How can I restore the original setting ?

    I am using MacBook Air 13 for more than two years.  I appears some setting in Safari has been changed unwittingly. Now whenever I open a web-page I have previously saved, the "saved as" page disappears and is replaced by a screen showing in grid view the last 12 pages of sites I have visited.  How to restore the setting so that the web page when opened shows the page I have saved.

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • HT203167 one of my tracks i.e. Sultans of swing ( Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but now only plays for ten second then carries on to the next track, how can I restore the original download ?

    One of my tracks i.e. Sultans of Swing (Dire Straits) should last for 10.54 minutes but cuts off after 11 seconds, then plays the next track.
    How can I re-download the track again to restore it?

    Delete problem track from library (if it is an iTunes Store purchase and you entitled to redownload past purchases - stop otherwise!)
    Close iTunes
    Open iTunes
    Select iTunes Store in left-hand column
    Select Purchased in right-hand column
    Select Music and Not on this computer
    The track should be listed now with a small cloud symbol which lets you download it.
    If you start downloading the track in step 7 then... While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked. (Should should help improve the reliablility of future downloads made with this build of iTunes.)
    If the above hasn't helped then... contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • I think I accidentally removed some original fonts. How can I restore the original font package back?

    I validated all the fonts and it showed some errors. So I removed the errors, but now some website looks weird to me. I think I have removed some fonts that come with the OS originally, but I don't know which ones. How can I fix this?

    System fonts can be re-installed by re-installing Mavericks.
    Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    First run Disk Utility > Repair Disk, if you get errors run until no errors reported or reports "the disk cannot be fixed". Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install "in place" and shouldn't effect any of your own data or settings.
    That said, you should always have a backup, as anything can happen at any time.

  • When I type in web searches, Firefox remembers them with a system similar to predictive text. How can I erase the search history list, because deleting the history with the organise tool doesn't work. Please help.

    When I type in searches I don't want a box to appear under the search box trying to predict what I'm going to type next. Can I disable the system(prediction box) or erase the history list or both?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no effect, when I right click on the search bar all I get is; select all (which does nothing), add keyword to this search (which is the opposite of what I want) and add dictionary (again adding something). Do you have any other ideas? :)

  • Trying to download OS X Mavericks from App store but the download essentially stalls after downloading about 5.26 GB with a message that it is "calculating."  How can I get the complete download?

    I've tried downloading OS X Mavericks from App store, but the download stalls with a message "calculating."  How can I get the download to finish?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

  • How can i restore the files which are important to me which i suddenly delete the files in download?

    i nid to restore the file which i suddenly delete in download.. i was about to delete the files which are not important but i suddenly delete the files which are important... how can i restore it??

    Check the Windows recycle bin, you may be able to recover the files from there. Right-click on the recycle bin icon on the desktop and select Open. This will open Explorer, if the files are listed there, right-click on them and choose Restore.
    If the files are not in the recycle bin, you can try a file recovery utility such as recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

  • I recently downloaded a program and have now lost Firefox's "awesome bar" which has been replaced by the program's own search bar. How can I restore the "awesome bar" and get rid of the other search bar?

    I recently downloaded Bearshare.com which then overrode my Firefox "awesome bar". Now when I enter a search item in the search box at the upper right of my screen, I'm automatically shunted to this new search bar where I have to re-enter my search item and click return before it will begin a search. Previously, the Firefox "awesome bar" opened automatically together with my home page and I had the choice of searching using it or the default search box at the upper right of my screen. I 'uninstalled' Bearshare but it now continues to come up when I search using the right hand top search box , forcing me to use it instead of the search box at the upper right of my screen. How do I get rid of it completely so that only the "awesome bar" appears as an extra tab when I open Firefox browser?

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • How can I restore the previous download toolkit UI in FF26?

    Updated to FF26 earlier today. I just now noticed that the download manager is different, rather, it is the new version that has been available for a while. I have been using the older toolkit that was available in earlier versions through about:config and enabling the toolkit option. That option is still checked as true but the toolkit remains the same (the newer version).
    How can I revert to the older download toolkit without restoring to an earlier version?

    Why is any of the crap in the new download window needed? It's fluff; useless junk made to look pretty for the everyday idjit.
    Seriously... why would I need to see bookmarks in the download window? I will never open the download window to use bookmarks. I can go straight to the bookmark tab in the browser. Same with all the other 'new and improved' crap that has been forced upon us with this busted new download window; superfluous junk.
    Why on Earth would I need or want to open this new 'Library' window to check any of that shit? It's all right there more easily accessible in the main browser. I personally don't use history or tags to begin with, but I guess some people might. Why would they take an extra step to do it though?
    Something else I don't do... keep the download window open to watch the downloads! Is there really some expectation that people are going to use these things simultaneously (download monitoring + redundant 'additions')? I can't understand the thought process here.
    There's just no benefit whatsoever to this Library garbage. No one is really going to be checking out their downloads while they browse or organize bookmarks to the point that this change is even remotely useful. That's about the only thing I can think of that this ridiculousness could **possibly** bring to the table; being able to 'actively' monitor downloads while doing one of the other few things you can now do with that window open.
    Get real, though. No one is using that window for anything but accessing the stuff they downloaded once it's done or to check the progress.
    You want to do something useful? Scrap this stupid Library concept and get back to the old download window. Or keep it as a totally separate function (would almost be awesome to see the data on how often it's used and what people think of it when they have options) and make a download window like the old one that works with the current setup.

  • The bullets don't look right in my web site, i.e. 'p' or 'u' instead of ticks or arrows - how can I put this right?

    The bullets on my web site do not look right, i.e. 'p' or 'u' instead of a tick or an arrow. Is there any way that I can change this or is there something that you can do to make it display properly? I have lots of ticks and arrows so an easy solution would be great!
    I don't have the same problem with internet explorer or Google!
    Many thanks for any help you can give,

    Works for me on Linux in Firefox 3.6.x and 4.0.1.
    However that is a font face="Wingdings 2" and such fonts that remap the basic ASCII set are not supported.<br />
    It is better to use Unicode replacements.

  • List of downloads is blank after I changed the file to save to. How can I restore the list of downloads?

    I have already tried the all the steps in this link.
    '''http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Downloads%20window%20is%20blank?s=+downloads+list&as=s'''
    I have changed the file to save to back to the original one as well.

    Try opening the problem files using a text editor or file viewer to see what the first few bytes contain. All valid FM binary files for FM 11 will contain <MakerFile 11.0> in the first bytes of the file.
    When updating books, it's sometimes better to just to create a new book file and add the files to that.
    When renaming files in a book, changes at the system level will break any links/cross-references between files, so it's always best to use the Rename option in the Book file to change FM file names. This will maintain the correct linkages.
