Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:

-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select EVERYTHING''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> '''When Firefox starts : select "Show My Home Page"''' -> Type the address of the website which you want to be your HomePage e.g. http://www.google.com
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries 4) Remember Passwords for sites
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious Extensions (Add-ons) -> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

  • How do I change the default page that appears when I open a new tab or window?

    I downloaded a program (Babylon) to translate text. After trying it out, I removed the program using their uninstall and then the add/remove functionality within windows. Nevertheless, remnants remain. When I attempt to open a new tab in Firefox (and IE for that matter), I get the Babylon Search page. In Chrome, when I changed the homepage, it eliminated the issue when opening a new tab. How do I establish a new default page when I open a new tab?

  • HT2486 How can I change the first contact that appears when I open address book?

    Every time I open Address book, it opens on the same person. Someone I don't really want as the first contact I see every day!...
    Is there a setting to change this? or a way to set a "Key Contact"?
    Thanks

    Use the Settings app
    Settings > iTunes and App Store > tap on the incorrect Apple ID that appears > Sign Out > then sign in with your correct Apple ID.
    Keep in mind that all apps downloaded or purchased are always associated with the Apple ID used to purchase or download them. As those apps have updates you will need to enter the Apple ID and password that was used for them. If you want to avoid this delete all of the apps purchased or downloaded with a previous Apple ID and download them again with the current Apple ID. You will have purchase any apps that are not free.

    I have uninstalled Itunes 10.4 shut down and installed Itunes 10.4 and still get this message on opening? How do i fix this problem?

    With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
    Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
    Restart the programme all should be well
    In case that your OS is (64 bit)
    1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
    3. Now paste it in the folder  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
    Good Luck

  • I deleted bing as one of my search engine choices, but the bin page still appears when I open a new tab. How do I stop the bing page showing up?

    I clicked on the search engine emblem and then I clicked on the "manage search engines" line. I then deleted bing as a search engine option. However when I open a new tab the bing page appears on my screen. How do I stop this from happening?

    This thread has some solutions:
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/762043
    The most straightforward seems to be: hold Ctrl and Left-Click on the Reload button. You could also Middle-click on the Reload button (e.g. "click" with the mouse wheel, if you have a wheel-mouse.) The thread above also has some other options.
    Edit: you could also hold Ctrl and drag a tab next to itself to clone it, another suggestion from the above thread.

  • Change the home page in PBC Web

    Hi all,
    Does anyone how to change the home page that appears by default when we launch the BPC for web?
    Regards,
    Ana

    First, make certain that you have security setup for access to the ZFP, or zero footprint on BPC web.  Next, the easiest method to change the opening page in BPC Web is to open the Web interface, and go to the Content Library.
    Then click the name of the page, next to the Check box (in blue).  This will open the page and you may select, Modify this Page from the  Action pane on the right.  From here, you can edit the existing page, add a new page or content, delete the original content etc.  You add new content that is named and can move it around to fit your needs.  Each section is a named content area in the page. When done, save and preview the page.  All the work uses the Action Pane.
    Hope this helps.

  • My Dell Inspiron runs Vista, and I cannot change the home pages on my browser

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530S running Vista. I updated Firefox to 5.0. I want to change the home page for one of the tabs. I change the tab to what I want, I go to Options - General - Use Current Page, and it seems to register. I then close Firefox and reopen it. When I do this, I get the old home page - not the one that was on the screen when I selected Options-General-UseCurrent Page on that tab.
    What do I do in order to have that tab come up with the page I want when I invoke Firefox?

    Make sure it says "'''Show My Home Page'''" in the first dropdown menu at the top before you try to change it.

  • I loaded a jZip programme, now whenever I start Firefox it open with the jZip search page and I can't permanently change the home page to my own selection. How can I get rid of theis iZip home page

    I have tried all the optons to change the home page, but when I exit from Firefox and restart, it will revert to the iZip search engine home page. I even deleted the izip search engine reference from the searchplugin directory but with no success

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>jzip</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>jzip</i> related prefs via the right-click context menu to their default values.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

  • Change the home page buttons

    is there any way to change the home page buttons with other buttons from the menu?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Yes, there is.
    Scroll to and choose (don't click on it, just have it highlighted) the icon you wish to move around and press the Menu key > Move. Scroll it to where you want it to be on the homescreen.
    If the icon you want to be on the homscreen is now located in another folder, scroll to it and choose Menu > Move to Folder > Homescreen.

    I want to change the email address that I use for my apple ID.....how do I do that!!!!

    Hello Embark2013 - Thanks for the help!  If possible, could you or somebody in Apple-land explain to Apple that their system is IDIOTIC?!  Changing an email address should be the simplest thing imaginable.  Nobody should EVER have to consult a discussion group to learn how to do such a thing.
