I set Start Page as my home page. Then my "Tools" & "Option"s get changed. Mozilla takes over. SpyHunter did not fix this.
I got SpyHunter because my brower got hijacked. It fixed it...so I thought. Then they show me manually how to fix it. But there is still a problem. I set my home page as Start Page and set my "Tools","Options" the way I want. They keep getting changed to what I don't want. Start Page comes up a couple of times, then it will come up with another Mozilla tab, then it will come up as a Mozilla page all when I open the brower to surf the internet. SpyHunter is out. I am not a computer wizard, how do I get this "hidden" malware (?), spyware (?), or whatever is doing this out of my computer?
Thanks for your help.
You can also do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.<br />
Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

plz say the way to set the speed dials which i set in home page whenever i open the new tab instead of blank page
Make sure the new tab feature is enabled:
* On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
* Set '''browser.newtabpage.enabled''' to '''true'''
To set the homepage to show the new tab page:
* Go to Firefox Menu > Preferences > General
* Set '''When Firefox starts''' to '''Show my Home page'''
* Set '''Home Page''' to '''about:newtab'''
So that a new tab opens the new tab page
* On the address bar, go to '''about:config''' (Just be careful)
* Set '''browser.newtab.url''' to '''about:newtab''' -
I am using Firefox 4 in Windows 7 Professional. Every time, I start up Firefox 4, a tab of any recently updated extensions/plugins will automatically start up with my home page. I tried resetting my home page and uninstalling and reinstalling the extensions/plugins; but, to no avail. Each time this happens the only way I could resolve this problem was to remove the extension/plugins. I am afraid if this issue continues, I will have no extensions/plugins left in my browser; unless, you can help me find a better solution.
It could be that you somehow have both pages set to be your home page or you got firefox set to remember your tabs from last time. Check your home page settings with the instructions in [[How to set the home page]].

How do I set new tabs to open home page
How do I set tabs to open my home page instead of a blank page?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox openedHello Justin.
You can simply middle-click the home button to open the home page in a new tab, or you can install one of the many extensions that let you tweak what the new tab opens. [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122 Tab Mix Plus] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] are two of them, although they have different focuses.
I hope this helps. -
I have a new MacBook Air with the latest Mac OS and I down loaded the latest version of Firefox from your web site. I am trying to set my igoogle page as my home page. I log into my igoogle home page and then go to the Preferences option on the Firefox menu. I click the option to use the current page as my home page. As long as I am logged into Firefox it takes me back to my igoogle home page when I click on the Home icon. If I log out of Firefox and open it again later in the day it takes me to the igoogle log in page but not my home page. I have a Mac at home and do not have this problem and I do not have this problem with my PC at the office.

Each time I open my Firefox browser, the tab from the last time opens. I have the browser set to open on my home page, not to the tab from the last time. I keep trying to save the setting for the browser to open on my home page but it doesn't.
Try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:

A couple of days ago, I connected to the Internet as usual & opened Firefox, only to be greeted by an almost blank screen with a Google-type search box in the middle & this message from McAfee:
"Your default search settings have changed. This may pose a security risk. Would you like to restore them to McAfee Secure Search to provide a safer searching experience?"
instead of my usual home page (BT Yahoo). I naturally clicked on the "Yes" option in the message, but rather than restoring my BT Yahoo home page, all that did was to insert the McAfee logo to the left of the search box in the top right-hand corner of the screen. The first time it happened, I had to search for the BT Yahoo page & then followed the standard procedure for setting it again as my home page. It worked only for that session: each time I shut down Firefox or restarted my computer after that, all I got was the blank "search page" & restoring the previous session was the only way to get back to BY Yahoo. How on earth do I make the home page setting permanent?
As far as I'm aware, I have done nothing to alter my search settings. However, I am anything but computer-literate, so I may have done/pressed something without realising it, but trying to understand what is now happening is far beyond my limited IT skills.See McAfee support to find out how to disable that McAfee feature - that isn't part of the normal Firefox installation.

When I want to return to my home page after looking at a website I click on the home icon and it resets the page to my home page but also open a blak tab which i don't want.How can I stop this as I have too many tabs open and have to close all of them.
You may have an unwanted extension that is modifying sites (or the toolbar area). Try this:
Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that flush the tab?
Please report back on anything suspicious you find so others can learn about its bad behavior. -
How to launch the Create Incident page as the Home Page
Hi All,
My issue is to launch the Create Incident page as the Home Page in the Service Pro Role.
To launch the Create Incident page as the Home Page is there any SPRO Configuration or we have to do through the code?
Thanks & Regards,
VenkatHi Venkat,
This can be done in the navigation bar configuration. Go to the path below and select your navigation bar profile, next to the description of your navigation bar profile there is a link ID, replace the home work centre logical link SRV-HOM-WC with this link SRV-INC-CR.
When you now log into your business role the incident creation screen should display instead of the service home screen
SPRO --> CRM --> UI Framework --> Technical Role Definition --> Define Navigation Bar Profile

I haven't set up my game center with my apple id so when i am trying to set it up and get to birth date part it starts all over how do i fix this?
If the problem persists, you'll probably have to make another apple id, it wont take off any games or music or apps or anything you've bought it will all stay there, i have two apple id's and i don't have a problem with anything.
