I have lost the Firefox start page, so can't access the Firefox tab. I keep getting Ask, which I don't want

For some reason I have started to get a blank type page, rather than the Firefox start page when I open firefox. The blank page has no firefox tab at the top left so I cannot access any of the firefox features by the tab. Also the blank page does not show my bookmarked websites which is an inconvenience. Whenever I type in a search word, the results come up in a page of information promoted by 'Ask"'. I don't want this. I don't know how this has happened but I cannot seem to find a fix. I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled to see if this would work, but it has not. Can someone help please.

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.

Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

    I have lost my calendar and now I cannot add events to it.  I keep getting message "cannot save event no calendar has been set."

    Maybe you need to Tap the Calendar Button in the upper left corner of the calendar app and select a calendar in which to add the event.
    Do you have. + sign in the lower right corner of the App? If not go to Settings>iCloud>Calendar>On. If you want to sync the calendar with iCloud, leave it set to on. If not, then set it to Off.
    Or try this of those suggestions don't work.
    Close all app scompletely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • When I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

    In the past, when I opened up a new tab, I used to get the Speed Dial page. I like that. However, since I updated my AVG anti-virus program, now when I open a new tab, I get the AVG search page. Can I change it back so that I get the Speed Dial?

    I had that too. On the bottom right of the AVG search page is a link which leads you to where you can switch it off. This restores normal Speed Dial operation.
    This hijacking has really cheesed me off. I've just downloaded Avast and am going to put it on in place of AVG.

  • Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out.

    Pages? Can I open really old Claris Works documents with it? I don't want to spend $20 to find out. I saved a bunch of stuff back in 1996, and now i need to open it.

    Pages opens strictly word processing AppleWorks v6 files.
    The problem with ClarisWorks files were they could contain all sorts of objects from databases to spreadsheets, drawings and paint. the iWork suite is not that versatile.
    But you really have little choice as ClarisWorks and AppleWorks are both history. If you are going to switch, the sooner the better.
    Just keep in mind what Apple did to ClarisWorks/AppleWorks along with many other of their appliactions and technologies theywill ultimately do to Pages.

  • I need the actual address of the Mozilla start page. It is not the default in my Firefox options.

    I am trying to convert to the Mozilla (Firefox) start page for my home page. I cannot follow the instructions given because my default home page in options is Yahoo. (I don't want that.) Can you give me the address of the Start page? I know how to make it my home page after I have navigated there.

    Hello mclapp, type in the awesome/location bar '''about:home''' .
    and set '''about:home''' in Firefox button > Options > General > Strtup > Home page.
    be sure you have also set When Firefox starts > Show my home page
    thank you

  • Click on Firefox icon, Firefox Start Page appears, but no access line for internet, no back or forward arrows, etc.

    When I open mozilla, the Mozilla Firefox Start Page tab comes up with google box in the middle of the page. No access panel to internet, nothing to click on, no back/forward buttons, etc.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hit the '''Alt''' key to show the Menu bar, then open View > Toolbars and select Menu bar & Navigation bar, so they have a check-mark.

  • I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my usernames prefills the UN field and I can't access the other account. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled username. Ideas?

    I have 2 different accounts at the same websites. Whenever I go to that website, one of my two user names (always the same one) pre-fills the user-name field and I can't access the other account. The website rightfully rejects my password. I cannot overwrite my pre-filled user-name because the second I hit enter to logon, the original user-name rewrites itself into it's field. Neither of the user names is being saved by firefox anywhere in the "tools"; Options, security, advanced or privacy menu fields.
    I did notice that that website has installed a cookie onto my computer called "_rememberme" which contains the user-name that is plaguing me.
    This is a website that I access for very sensitive and important information and I must have both accounts accessible at different times.
    Thanks, Joshua

    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I added the second account on this website.

    You need to clear that remember me cookie and make sure that you remove a check mark to remember you on that website.
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    You can disable the automatic fill of a name and password.
    See:
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Password_only_filled_after_entering_user_name
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/signon.autofillForms
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • How can i have a different Apple ID for my 2 iphones, currently both are having the same Apple IDs and all data is getting sync which i don't want to happen?

    Hi Currently having single Apple ID for my iPad, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. Can i have a separate Apple ID for my iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. At the moment since the apple id are same the contact are getting sync between the 2 phones which i don't want to be in Sync.Will having two separate apple ID solve the issue or is there any setting that i need to make.. Pls suggest
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Yes, you can certainly create a new Apple ID at appleid.apple.com (which will have to be associated with a different email address from your current ID) and then change the various settings and applications on one of your iPhones to use this new ID.

  • Regarding Pages: I can't access the document I was writting on at all. I have tried to send the document to my email, I've tried to make a copy but nothing seems to work, it just shows up blank.

    Regarding Pages: I was writing using the app Pages when I left the page I was writting on but now I can't access it at all. I have tried to send the document to my email, I've tried to make a copy but nothing seems to work. The document still exists and I can see my writting as I can with all other documents but I can't open that page.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Connect the iPad to your computer and try to get the document via File sharing
    - Try getting the document from iCloud.com if you are using iCloud

  • I have bought an iPad air. I can not access The restrictions as I have not been given a password when I purchased the iPad yesterday. Can someone advise please

    I am unable to access the restrictions in the accessibility settings due to the fact It is password protected. I have just purchased it so it is brand new out of the box and I have not set a password for it and I wasn't issued one with the iPad air.   Can someone advise please. 

    They don't come with restrictions enabled, you have to turn them on and set the passcode.
    When you do try to enter the restrictions area you are prompted to enter a passcode, but that means you're making it.
    I'd take it back to where you bought it from and have them unlock it.

  • Help! I installed the wrong firmware and now can't access the camera to change it back!

    I have done something silly and wonder if you can help to get me out of a fix. Yesterday I upgraded the firmware of my camera and I can no longer see the camera on the network, even when it is connected by a wired connection. I have tried a hard reset but that has not helped. 
    I now realise that I have upgraded with firmware via a link from the US website and it is a different firmware version to the UK site. It is also designated as a  RoSh version (although I do not understand the significance of this). Presumably US networks are set up differently to EU ones? 
    I upgraded the firmware from version 1.10 to version 1.25 (RoSh). The European firmware upgrade is designated as version 1.21.
    The only way forward that I can see is to find a network that will recognise the camera and then change the firmware back to the European one.  Any ideas?

    Whats the Model number of your Camera. As you have uploaded the wrong firmware of your Camera. I think you can download the Latest firmware from the European website and upgrade the firmware of your Camera using TFTP tool utility.
    Go to ftp.linksys.com/pub/network... and download TFTP.exe File on your computer. Once done connect your camera to the Computer and provide a Static IP to your computer. 
    Double click the tftp.exe file and click run :
    For Server- Enter the IP Address of the router that you assigned.  By default, the router is 192.168.1.115...
    For Password- Enter the password you assigned the camera. By default, the camera’s password is “admin”.
    For File- Click the triple “…” button and browse for the .bin firmware file...Click Upgrade button to start upgrading.  A progress bar should show up to show the progress.
    Once the Upgrade is done press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your camera, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your camera...
