I need my old start up page back. I had a list in secure search & it's gone

I used to have a list that would come up when I clicked on the secure search line. I've saved that list of websites I frequently go to. Now I click on the space and nothing, nothing comes up til I start to type, but, that's ya for yahoo or fa for facebook. I could care less about a list of yahoo and facebook websites. I can't remember half of what I had in my list. I have no use for the new start up page and would like the old one back

I'm not sure what you mean by secure search: is that a custom home page? If so, it may be a feature of an extension. You can check to make sure it is enabled, and check for updates for it, on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then look for your secure search add-on on the right side. The enabled extensions are listed first, then the disabled extensions below those. Can you find and enable it?
To check for updates, click the "gear" icon above the list, then "Check for Updates" on the drop-down menu.
Note: If you used the Reset feature (for example, if Firefox starts up very slowly, it may suggest using Reset) then the add-on likely was removed. If you had saved valuable data using the add-on, we might be able to help you recover it from a folder on your desktop named Old Firefox Data. Let us know if you find such a folder.
''If you are using Firefox's built-in home page:''
Could you try disabling search suggestions to see whether you get your old list back? You can do that from Firefox's Search Bar, the one that usually appears on the main toolbar and has the search engine icon at the left side. Either:
* right-click the bar > uncheck Show Suggestions
* click the current icon > Manage Search Engines..., then uncheck Show Search Suggestions
Does the earlier history return?

  • How do Iget my old start-up page back.

  • How can I get my old version of pages back?

    I hate the new pages app I have one my new rebuilt Mac Airbook, 10.9.5. (Lion).  I am exporting to 09 but really hate it. Cannot do my work.  I will not upgrade to the new OS.  TOO MANY Problems.  Why did apple do this to us?  They didn't mention these  (problems?) in the specs.  Help is inaccurate also.  Lousy testing you guys/gals did.  Can I copy the old pages off my mac pro?  I tend to think it is not something that is allowed or it just won't work in this  os.

    Install from the iWork '09 disk and make sure you upgrade to v4.3.
    Also export any Pages 5.2 documents to Pages '09 format (label them as you go so you know what they are).
    You can simply drag the software to the trash after you have saved your documents.
    Personally I live with 3 versions on my Yosemite installation and just pay attention to what I am doing with what.

  • I need an old version of Pages for my old Mac. How do I buy it?

    Hello,
    I have a Mac which does not support any OS X newer than 10.6.8, so I need a Pages version compatible with this. But in the store I just find the newest version of pages. How can I get an older version which is supported by my Mac?

    You cannot get anything but the latest version via the App store.  Best option is to purchase an earlier version of the full iWork suite on disk from Amazon/e-bay (loads there to buy).
    iWork 09 should work with your system and is more fully fuctional than the latest version.  You will get Keynote and Numbers as well as Pages too.

  • How do I get the old version of Java back?

    A few days ago I was prompted to download the latest Java update, which deleted and disabled Java. I need it for several work-related functions, so I downloaded the latest version - but the latest version doesn't work. Applications I need fail to launch. I think this is related to the fact that the new version doesn't support 32-bit browsers, but it doesn't really matter - I just want the old version of Java back.
    I know about the security concerns and I don't care. I just want the version of Java that I had a week ago.
    Where do I find it?

    Safari in ML is a 64 bit browser.
    Use your Time Machine backup to take your machine back in time to before the java deletion was installed.

  • How do I get back the McAffe secure search box?

    When the format changed to the new format, the secure search box was gone. I went back to the traditional format and it was there again. Now it is once more not on my screen.

  • When I switched computers, I couldn't get to my Mozilla start page & had to create another. I need my old one . Help, please.

    I purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1. When I clicked on Mozilla (my default browser), instead of taking me to my Mozilla start screen or giving me a way to sign in, I got a screen wanting me to set up a new account. I did that using the same email address & user ID as my old one, thinking I might be able to access it that way. No luck. So I now have an old account with all my information out in cyberspace somewhere & a newer acct. with almost nothing in it. Is there any way for me to get back into my old account? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
    PS For anyone who provided me with assistance several weeks ago on a different issue, I apologize for not responding. I couldn't figure out how to set up my email with 8.1 so I had no way to retrieve or send anything. I still don't so I'm using one of those online sites for the time being. Again...my apologies.

    Hi Talha,
    Thanks for the info. It didn't work, though. It took me to a page to sign in to sync Firefox, but not my old start page. When I reset my home page back to the default, it takes me to the new account start page. I can't figure out where my old account went. It shouldn't have disappeared just because I switched computers. If it's still out there somewhere in cyberspace, I should be able to retrieve it, shouldn't I? All my bookmarks, history and downloads were in that account and, if there's any way possible I need to find it.
    Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated (even those that don't work). I'm getting so desperate, I'll even name my first child after you. (:>)
    Thanks,
    Sandi

  • How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

    Gorgeous Hello All,
    If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
    Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
    A hurdle :-
    I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
    I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
    -> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
    How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
    (I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
    Help Please
    Cheese – Vipin Nambiar, Bangalore

    Hey Jeff, I used Internet Explorer 10.0.9200 and Google Chrome 26.0.1410. Alas - it is the same behavior.
    (But Jeff : When I used Microsoft HTML Help as primary layout to generate chm file , My Help when launched from my Application opened in a new browser window and when I closed this Help browser window did not close my application. Looks like need to write few liner code to get this issue settled )
    Thanks Indeed of lots for your concerns Jeff !!!

  • Need old-school iCal alerts back in 10.8

    Help! I need the old-school, movable, multi-option snoozable alerts back for my Calendar events. I need to be able to choose how long the snooze interval is like we used to be able to do with iCal alerts - I would sometimes use the smaller increments, but I used the 2 hour snooze all the time and I'm missing it dearly. Also, I miss being able to move the alert off to the side out of the way if I wanted to keep it on screen instead of dismissing it.
    I use Calendar to alert me when it's time for everything from my son's homework, to when to start cooking dinner, to giving my daughter her various meds, and I need more flexibiltiy than Notification Center seems to give.
    With Notification Center, I can't control how long the snooze is, and the default is almost always way too brief an interval. And if I just want to set it aside without closing or snoozing, I can't - it hovers in just about the worst possible spot on my main monitor blocking whatever I happen to be working on.
    This is my only problem with Mountain Lion, but I use Calendar so much it's a pretty bad one.

    I followed the instructions in the link.  point 5 sates:
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    and I have not.  but this is all I see:
    no iLife option.
    what could be wrong?  My machine came with 10.8.4 installed

  • Wifi connecting loops repeatedly back to start (unlock) page

    I've had the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 for a month and recently when I try to connect to a wifi network, it repeatedly cycles back to the start (unlock) page. Samsung tech and Verizon have not provided an answer so far. I have tried "forgetting" all old networks, rebooting router, re-entering network and security code, updating software and multiple combinations of this.  Others have had this problem (posted on youtube) but have not posted a solution. I would hope that restoring factory settings is not the only answer as would lose apps, data, pictures, and kindle books.  Have others with this problem found a solution?  I cannot use wifi as it is.

    I have had the same problem with my GT7 - no answers from Verizon, but have learned through many blogs that there is an issue with their not being able to connect to Belkin wireless routers (my kind).  There are things to try like changing the channel, or connecting without a password, but those have not worked for me, either.  If you have Windows 7, an option is to tether onto your WiFi via Win7's home network setup (you'll have to look it up if you don't know how). That worked great for me. But, with the last Android update, that isn't working either, now : ( , but I haven't had time to troubleshoot to see if I can get it working again.

  • Firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Question
    firefox is stumbling when pages with PDF content come up. how can i get my old version3.5.6 back?

    Thanks for your response Cor el, I'll try that the next time it happens, it's completely random. One moment it functions normally then suddenly it changes its mind.
    Restarting my pc usually brings it back to normal until next time.
    One thing I've noticed, but not 100% sure there's a connection here.....I edit my websites online and log into cpanel which opens new pages in separate tabs, as it should do. It seems that this problem occurs when I'm logged into cpanel...if i'm logged in then open a new tab for regular browsing of other sites then all links on those sites also open in new tabs.
    Ican't say for sure if it's always only happened when logged into cpanel, but certainly on the last 3 occasions.
    At the moment it's behaving normally so much I can do to check your suggestions, but will try them the next time it occurs.
    One other thing I forgot to mention too....since i've had the new firefox, I've noticed that when I log into yahoo and post comments, I often find myself having to log on for each new post. Everything was fine with old firefox and there have been no other changes to my pc .

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it,  but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

    I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine),  but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

    Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new"  in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted.  If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
    I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.

  • How do I get my google search bar back in the middle of my page insead of the Blank searh engine that is on my start up page now

    Before I did the last upgrade with Firefox, I had the Google search bar in the middle of my start page. Now , after the upgrade, my Google search bar is up on a tool bar at top of the page and the when you type something in the large Firefox box in the middle of the page does nothing even though it has the Search box to the right of it. The restore last session is under that. I just have a large box in the middle of start page that does nothing. I wish that was my Google search box again.

    ''Restoring Google Search page as the home page''
    What you are looking at on the web page is a '''search form''', not a search bar. Mozilla changed the default home page to '''about:home''' which is supposed to be faster because it is on your computer, but they piled on a few ornaments. There is a space which is essentially advertising space for Mozilla, or to tell you that you have a previous session available below the search form area.
    You can replace that page with a real Google Search page http://www.google.com which like other Google pages has links at the top to other Google applications and tells you if you are logged into Google such as for GMail.
    "Alt" > Tools > '''Options''' > General >
    :When Firefox starts: "Show my homepage":
    :Home Page: http://www.google.com
    :Press "Ok" at the bottom of the options window.
    Specific information on installing a home page is in
    :http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page
    ''Some problems with terminology''
    The '''search bar''' is part of your toolbars and you can bring up any search engine you want in it.
    Google has their own "Google Toolbar" extension, which you would do well to avoid.
    The large empty space on the '''about:home''' default home page, is to tell you that you have a previous session available. You don't need that notification you can bring up your "Previous Session" from the History menu, and after that you can bring up previous windows (or all of them also from same History menu).
    In fact if you would like to see the notification at the end of your session, enabling you to restore your current tabs see item #31 (#tabslost) in the following: ...
    You can make Firefox '''Firefox 5.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.18, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 5.0, or 4.0.1, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

    Need a shortcut to "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above option preference" I know where it is and how to use it but I have to go through 7 mouse clicks to change it, then a few minutes later change it back. I also know the sequnce is alt t, alt o, alt c, alt a, then ok, ok. Got to be a way to make a one key short cut for this. I use a black background to reduce eye strain, but about 10% of the webpage I go to can't be send with black so I have to go into tools and hit 6 or 7 things to chnage it then after through with webpage have to do it all over at Not allow webpages to have own color. Very very cumbersome.
