I want IE back as default browser, but the FOX isn't working with me and keeps substituting itself

While Foxfire is good for some things, I want IE back as the default. I have tried the Microsoft suggestions, but things are not working or there. Ex: it says to go to Add Delete programs which is suddenly not there (it's as if the Fox has hidden things to ensure it's survival as default).
I'm sure that I am not the only person to ever want it removed as default.

hello, firefox certainly doesn't hide any entries & plays fair game ;-)
first of all please go to firefox > options > advanced > general and uncheck ''Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup''.
afterwards make IE the default browser on your system, either go to IE > tools > internet options > programs > make default or refer to microsoft's documentation how to change default programs in the control panel: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

I upgraded my iphone to ios 6 but now it isn't working with itunes

I upgraded my iphone to ios 6 but now it isn't working with itunes and my itunes will not upgrade. It is stuck at 10.6.1 and my macbook is not compatible with 10.7

A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

If you received you phone as part of the contract then surely from a legal pov your contract is with 3 not Apple unless you bought Applecare, if you bought your phone outright then put your 3 SIM into it then yes you'd have to visit an Apple store with your phone's purchase receipt.

Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.

Your install disk must look like this
and not like this.
Those gray disks are machine specific and will only work with model of Mac that they shipped with.

How do you make Firefox the default browser when the normal way doesnt work?

Im trying completely from chrome after a friend showed my how much firefox has got its act together. However i cant for the life of me set it as the default browser. I have tried the "make firefox the default browser" button in firefox, which simply opens the windows default programs panel. Whenever i try to use the panel it simply sets the http protocol to nightly which isnt even installed!( http://puu.sh/2vJHM ) I think a possible fix would be to manually change the registry, but i wouldnt know where to start.

Did you check the box on ''Options > Advanced > General >[X] "Always check to see if Firefox is the default browser on startup"?
Have you restarted Firefox and if so, or when you do so, what does that section on the advanced Firefox options show?
Have you tried restarting your system after setting the default browser using the second suggestion and, after restart, check the setting per the second suggestion to see if that setting is holding?
Updating your Plugins would have no affect on the default browser question. It was something that you needed to do to avoid security issues online by using an out of date version of Java. Java is not involved in the default browser issue. That is why I separated it from the first part of the reply with a line and began with the word "Other".

Hi, I have sold a phone and the user cannot get past ever Apple ID and password but the password isn't working.?

Hi,
I have sold an iPhone 4S, I thought it was fully erased but it wasn't, it had find my iPhone on and the user is being prompted to enter apple ID and password. I went onto Apple account and removed device from find my iPhone and erased. Still says the same thing to the buyer. I have changed my password for Apple ID and then called them and they have entered the password but it doesn't work. Tried the old one that doesn't work either. \
Any ideas.
Very grateful to hear from anyone.

There is never a reason to give someone your Apple ID password. Period.
If you've removed the device from the Find My iPhone section of www.icloud.com, then it's not activation locked. They need to restore the device as new and set it up with their own information.
Immediately change your Apple ID password and also update your security questions. You may also want to change the primary email address of your Apple ID.

I installed Win7 on my iMac but the internet isn't working

I can't get the internet to work using Windows 7 on my iMac. It seems like there is no drivers for the internet hardware. I've installed the drivers from bootcamp/IOS-dvd, but nothing happens. I've downloaded the newest bootcamp with drivers but it can't install since I already have bootcamp.

Well audio drivers have alwasys had to be updated after installing Windows and installng Apple drivers. Always. Almost asked daily.
Whether Cirrus Audio is up to 8 yet, but you should be using the Release Preview "RP" not the Sept 2011 DEV Preview

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but I'm having trouble with the new one. When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

Tags for bookmarks, what file in the Fox profile folder works with the tags? I'm sure it's not in places.sqlite -- I want to save the "tags" file for safekeeping.

Tags for bookmarks ...

The tags are stored in places.sqlite in the Tags folder and are also stored in a JSON backup.<br />
So you can use a JSON backup to have a copy.

My new Iphone 6 will pair with Range Rover but the phone will not work with bluetooth

Does anyone know if Apple is resolving this issue? The Range Rover service people don't know how to resolve this.

I Have the same issue. my phone worked until I updated to v8 software on iphone 5. Now it won't pick up contacts and I cannot make a hands free call while driving. My car dealer Taggerts of Motherwell have said the Range Rover software is not up to date and the phone won't work properly until it is.

I am deploying an application using firefox. I am using the mozilla.cfg file to lockdown firefox and I don't want firefox to be the default browser.

Try the option to "Force Firefox to make itself the default" as shown in this article - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Default_browser
Another possibility is your email application may be hard-coded to use IE.

I use Firefox as my default browser but, on any site, keep getting some words underlined in green from which an ad pops up. Really peeing me off! Doesn't happen on IE or Chrome. How can I stop this?

From what you have described, I don't think you are ever going to pick that up as malware at all. But I did look at the site you mentioned in Google Chrome, and in IE9. First thought was maybe Chrome suppresses it, but that would be contrary to trying to convince you that their AdSense or IntelliTXT is "helping" you.
What I did find in Chrome was
"Google Chrome's connection attempt to ad-apac.doubleclick.net was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
Since I don't have ad blockers in Chrome or IE, that tells me that my hosts file is doing its job, you can draw you own conclusions. There is something similar displayed in IE, but I can't read what was there because the font-size was too big. for the space. In Firefox with "Adblock Plus" extension it is all wiped out. The hosts file works across the entire system but is directed at blocking malware sites more than advertising. "Adblock Plus" is very good at blocking ads and can do its blocking with more generic filters, and can block a lot of malware from coming in but it can't block at the system level that a hosts file can.
In IE although I can only see "It appea" because the font is too large and text does not wrap it does actually say "It appears you are connected to the Internet, but you might want to try to reconnect to the Internet."
I would certainly suggest installing "Adblock Plus" extension and the "Easylist (USA)" filter subscription -- links are in the links previously provided, and installing the hosts file as well also in the links.
It takes a bit more work to install and maintain a hosts file but the directions should be clear enough.

After installing the safari update for windows, outlook is now not opening email hyperlinks. I have set safari to be my default browser but outlook won't open it when I click a link. I get the following message: "This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." Please help.

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:
