I have Firefox set as home page, can't get default browser to change from google to bing. DO NOT trust google any more but can't get rid of it. Please help!

I do not want to use google as the default search engine on my home page. I was able to change it no problem on IE explorer. Cannot change on firefox no matter what I try.

go to Fireofx>Addon>Extension and check if any unknown toolbar are installed or not

    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

    LOL.  I just posted same.  It connects to my home, but when I'm at my office my phone (5) does not automatically connect to wi-fi.  I have to manually do it all the time and it also keeps dropping it.  A few other people here have droids, no problem.  Never  had an issue before the upgrade.

    I'm in trouble, my iPod Touch is giving 4th shock when recharge and the battery does not last any more. who knows or has a similar problem, please help me. Note: all this after I downloaded the new version OS5.

    I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store because of the shock issue. I doubt it was caused by the update.

  • I unknowingly downloaded MyWebSearch and cannot unable it so I no longer have FireFox as my home page. What can I do to restore FireFox, I already redownloaded it with out success.

    MyWebSearch has dominated my home page and I can't delete it, I want FireFox back but don't know how to make it my default home page.

    This type of pest is usually installed along with software you download from the internet; generally free programs, but not always. Carefully watch for "extra" items that will be installed and un-check or opt-out of them.

  • Yesterday an extra Google Search Box was placed in the body of one of my home pages. Cannot get rid of it.

    I use Firefox as my reading browser and sometime ago stumbled upon a method to make the most visited sites readily available by having photos of their sites as a supplemental home page. Yesterday a large Google Search box was added at the top of that page that I neither want nor need. I search from the address bar. Always have. I've done everything recommended to reset the home page and nothing seems to work. How do I get rid of that space hogging search field (it reduced the size of the 9 site photos that formerly occupied that page;I just click on the page to open a site). I captured a screen shot, but it seems to be awfully large. Can I get rid of it? It just showed up yesterday.

    In order to uninstall a possibly unwanted extension, please do the following:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and choose Add-ons.
    #Once the Add-on Manager has opened in a new tab, click the ''Extensions'' button on the left side of the window.
    #You should now see a list of your installed extensions on the right side together with buttons on the right side of each extension.
    #To remove an extension from Firefox, simply click the Remove button. You should see a message that informs you about the successful removal of the add-on.
    #Note that some add-ons require a Firefox restart to be removed completely. To perform a Firefox restart after the add-on removal, click the ''Restart now'' link in the message.
    You can find further information about uninstalling extensions in the following articles:

    On iTunes when i plug my iphone in, the bar at the bottom with contains the information about the capacity of my iphone, it has a bar called 'other' which has 4GB. I don't know what is taking up that space or how to get rid of it. please help

    The size of this part can increase when something goes wrong during a sync, or some files can't be read anymore by iTunes.

  • A page called...txtapplynowbulletsgif came up on my mozilla, i tried everything including uninstall and reinstall i cant get rid of it, please help is this a virus

    using mozilla just getting on face page. a strange page popped up called...txt apply-now bullets-gif. i tried everything to get rid of it including uninstalling mozilla and reinstalling it. same page appeared. is this a virus, how can i get rid of it . thank you

    Please proceed as follows.<br><br>
    #Click the small down arrow in the Search Bar (''that's the small one to the right of the location bar where normally type in web address'') to get the list of search engines and then click "'''Manage Search Engines'''" at the bottom.<br><br>
    #Find '''Questscan '''in the list, click it to highlight it and then click the '''Remove '''button.<br><br>
    #Close Firefox and then restart it again.<br><br>
    #Go to Facebook, or somewhere else where the problem usually occurs and see if it still happens. If it does, proceed with step 5.<br><br>
    #In the location bar where you normally type in a web address, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    #If you see a window which says "This might void your warranty!", click the button which says "I'll be careful, I promise" so you can continue with the next step.<br><br>
    #In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    #Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q= and then click OK.<br><br>
    #Close the tab
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
    After you complete the above steps, download the free version of Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and run a full system scan as precaution.

  • LaCie flash drive not recognized as a drive, but shows up in system profiler. Please help!!

    I recently got a LaCie RuggedKey 16 gb flash drive. The problem is that recently I plugged in the drive and I can't access the files, however, it shows up in system profiler. There are still files on the drive, and I really need them. Can you please help me recover them?

    If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
    If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
    Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
    Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
    Boot into Recovery and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
    Start up in Safe Mode and test.
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed.

    And we know that the vertical menu is designed to work in all flavors of IE, so surely someone will come along with the answer.
    I presume you made no edits to the menu's css? other than color etc.?  If you may have, then you could always remove the DW menu from your page (leaving the actual ul menu if tht is possible  - as you can see I never used spry menus!) and re-add the Spry menu css to the page in order to start with a virgin copy.  just a thought.  Sorry i can not help more.
