I love Firefox but have had to abandon it because rpc.html pops up everytime I enter the home page.

I usse comcast.net as my isn obviously and in setting up a new computer, it constantly get the message "you have selected to run rpc.html" as a popup. It is driving me crazy so if you can't help me defeat this, I will have to go back to IE and never use Firefox again. Please help!

Thank you, cor-el, for those links, but that's exactly my problem. The first thing I did was set a new home page exactly as the above articles suggest. I have had Firefox for years so I know my way around the options menu. I also made a few other tweaks as well, such as changing my theme. But every time I reopen Firefox, everything reverts back as if I hadn't made any changes at all. I have the updated Firefox on my laptop and no problems like this... Think this is my cue give Chrome a try on my desktop...

    There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
    *the Plugin version for Firefox and most other browsers
    *the ActiveX version only for IE (see: [[ActiveX]])
    *When updating, you need to update '''both'''
    You do not have the Plugin version installed for Firefox. Look for "Shockwave Flash" in Tools > Add-ons > Plugins
    #'''Install the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin''' to the latest version.
    #*Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
    #*If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "'''Download and information'''" or "'''Download Manual installers'''" below
    #*After download is complete, exit Firefox
    #*Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
    #**Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
    #*Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
    #*'''Download and information''': http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    #**Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)

  • Just got a iMac love it but have had problem with iTunes gets stuck at m with syncing its stuck at "waiting to copy" any ideas

    Just got imac love it but have an issue with itunes gets stuck "waiting to copy" do I really need to return phone to orginal setting?

    Remove the song in question from the sync list and see if the rectifies the problem.
    If it does, then iTunes believes the song no longer exists on your drive and that will need to be corrected.

  • Why the hell i see adds all over the browser even though i have my ad block running? and why the hell everytime i set the home page to default, its not?

    hi,
    why the hell there are adds every where now? it was not the case earlier? and why the hell every time i change the home page to be the default one, the min i restart Firefox it came again to the same silly page i don't know from where the hell it came from?!?!
    it was a very pleasant experience to use Firefox, but not anymore, i like it even its heavy on the machine and stuck alot lately!!!
    the crash reports NEVER managed to be sent i don't know why!!
    come on guys, you can do better than that!

    Hi ajag,
    Sorry you are having problems, but probably some adware or malware.
    Thanks for including System Information. I am not familiar with "''Vonteera Free Ads''" However it is apparently adware. Take care with advice followed from internet searches I would for instance NOT try the YAC site or tool.
    Using the Firefox addons manager and the Windows Control Panel remove any obvious unwanted toolbars or programs. Then scan with multiple and fully up to date tools.
    *''' General method: [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]] '''
    Please follow the advice in the link immediately above and then do the full scans as mentioned lower down in this post.
    I note you have a ''user.js'' file that may need attention separately.
    Post back saying what you tried and what the results were.

  • Firefox homepage changed. Lost Icons for Gmail, YouTube, etc that use to appear on the home page. How do I get them to appear back on the Firefox homepage?

    A week ago, my Firefox homepage changed and I've lost the ability to have Gmail, YouTube, etc appear at the left top of the homepage. I tried to reset by going to settings and set the default but still can not figure out how to get Gmail, YouTube, etc to appear on the homepage.
    Thank you,

    Is your home page now https://www.google.com/ ?
    If you are missing the traditional "black bar" at the top of the page, that has been replaced with an application button on the right side that looks like a grid of small squares. Some creative developers have posted add-ons to restore the old bar. I haven't tried these myself:

    You have posted in the Mac Pro forum (workstation computer) not the Mac Book Pro forum ( laptop computer).
    Homepage is the page your browser opens up with. Open the page you want, then go to your browser preferences for Homepage and pick current page as Homepage.
    I would suggest you try the iCal forum if that it what you are using.

    IS THIS A GAME?
    WHAT DETAILS DO YOU NEED?
    THE COMPUTER HAS WORKED FINE
    WITH THE OLD MOZILLA FIREFOX
    FOR YEARS.
    NO CHANGES HERE IN ANYTHING ELSE.

    Click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Plugins and disable the following:<br><br>
    * Fun Web Products Plugin<br><br>
    * My Web Search<br><br>
    Both of these are adware/spyware and cause performance issues in Firefox.
    Next, click the Extensions menu link (above Plugins where you are) and remove the "Ask Toolbar".
    If the problem persists, please do the following:<br><br>
    #Click '''Help '''| '''Restart with Add-ons disabled'''.<br><br>
    #In the next menu which appears, checkmark: "'''Reset toolbars and Controls'''".<br><br>
    #Finally, click the button called "'''Make changes and restart'''".

    Last but not least, some of your plugins are seriously out of date which exposes your system to exploits. Please visit the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

    @kaaremi, do you own an E7 so you are speaking from experience, or are you repeating reports/reviews you have read ? The Camera's capabilities you mention, are limited by EDOF not being good with macro photography, but the rest of your issues can either be resolved with 3rd party applications, or don't exist. My E7 displays any company information attached to the contact when I recieve a call and it works fine with time zones, plus of course, if the phone doesn't fulfill your requirements there is always the choice to choose an alternative ?
    If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

    Your More system details list show that you run the latest Firefox 4.0.1 version.<br />
    You can check that via Help > About Firefox and on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page.
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

    If you posted from another computer then download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
