What is currently messing up your homepage, or have you removed all of those intrusions.

How can I prevent network administrator from changing Firefox 35.0.1 homepage

each morning I copy a "cfg" file into my Mozilla directory which gives me my desired homepage. Each night network updates and homepage is changed to the company's default homepage...Thanks

hello Kropotkin, it's probably better to contact your administrator about this issue as we can't know how things are deployed and set up in your environment and what kind of tasks/scripts run over night...

How can I 'decouple' Yahoo! from Mozilla Firefox

I no longer use Internet Explorer from Microsoft. I use strictly Mozilla Firefox. I also no longer want to use Yahoo! and note that they seem to be coupled with Mozilla Firefox [and the two businesses are very close to one another] How can I get Mozilla Firefox to dump Yahoo! ?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== It's always been coupled with Yahoo! and Yahoo! WAS my home page. I want to change and no longer trust Yahoo!

How can I prevent Magic Mouse from scrolling horizontally when I don't want it to?

I recently purchased a Magic Mouse to go with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard. It's a great mouse but it causes 2 problems:
If I leave it on "Scroll with interia" in System Preferences/Mouse, it scrolls horizontally when I don't want it to. Since I mostly work in Word documents, I often lose my place in the document this way. On the other hand, checking "Scroll without inertia" makes vertical scrolling, which I do all the time, a lot harder.
The mouse seems to cause what I think of as "fractures" in Word documents--words and parts of sentences will disappear or get crunched together , then reappear when I select the place where they vanished. They also reappear if I scroll vertically to get the problem area off the screen and then return to it. This wastes a lot of time at best; at worst, I'm afraid I'll lose work. The problem occurred once in a while with a Logitech bluetooth mouse I was using, but not as bad and not all the time.
I love the mouse's ergonomics and would like to keep it, but if I can't solve this problem, I'll have to return it. Would be very, very grateful for any tips! Thanks.

Always nervous about recommending sites I have no personal experience of. On the plus side it doesn't relate to any of the bad sites I am familiar with and it appears to be the developer's site ... but there is no contact point for you to ask questions. You said in your initial post it was to go with Snow Leopard but this version says it is meant for 10.7 and above. Did you notice that? I also notice several other references to Word and mouse and one person found the solution lay in the updating of word 2011 to its highest level. I can offer no more.

Firefox tries to load HTTPS on every web site (and no http every where is NOT installed) how can i stop this?

i can see firefox adding https to every single URL i try to go to, if it fails over it goes to none HTTPS. i do "not" have https every where installed, i do however have avast installed, if its a feature of avast i cant find it.

You set the Boolean pref browser.urlbar.autoFill to false on the about:config page to disable auto-fill on the location bar.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
See "Prevent Firefox from automatically completing URLs":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/search-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs-awesome-bar
You can set the browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled pref to false on the about:config page to disable the highlighting of the domain and see the full URL more clearly.
You can set the browser.urlbar.trimURLs pref to false on the about:config page to see the http: protocol on the location bar and in the pop-up if you hover a link.

When i open a new tab in Firefox, the yahoo website will open automatically in this tab. How can i prevent any website from opening in my new tabs? I just want to open an empty tab.

You click on new tab, a new tab opens, but the tab is opened as the yahoo homepage.
I accidentally downloaded the yahoo toolbar as malware the other day. This toolbar is really imposible to remove. It's not in the sofware add/remove menu, i've tried with several anti-malware sofware, they didn't succeed.
Now, i already made the toolbar invisible, but it still has a place in the firefox menu at the top of the browser, and like i said, it keeps opening itself in a new tab.

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

How can I prevent rogue software from installing itself via Firefox on my system?

I don't know if this malware is exploiting a hole in Win7 or Firefox or both.
So bear with me in my description. I am trying to ascertain if there are Win 7 security settings or configuration changes I can make to eliminate this. Or are there Firefox configuration settings I can change to prevent this or both. Did not find any help articles that seemed to address this from the search arguments I thought to use.
In the last two weeks I have had two different "security product" windows activate on my Win7 Pro system. Somehow they prevented my starting anything else such as task manager. My AV application detected attempt to create outgoing internet connection in both instances. In either case I ceased using my system as soon as the malware Window activated. I was burned by a third party cookie exploit last year. If you clicked anything, you were toast, such as a "do you really want to navigate away from this page?" warnings. Didn't get one of these messages this time with either of these. But in both instances, registry entries were created for this malware and it installed itself in the following directory path, C:\users\{myID}\appdata\local\temp\ as dtjupjnml\lcuatursjmo.exe s well as registry entries under dtjupjnml and lcuatursjmo after searching with the regedit FIND feature. I didn't recall the names from the first instance, but it installed exactly the same way.
This did not come from an e-mail attachment or link. I don't do those.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

How can I prevent Yahoo search from invading my searches on Google? I have (nor want) nothing Yahoo in my comp.

when I am reading a site I have Googled, Yahoo replaces the page with its own and gives me a search page much like Google's. I can delete the URL, but I can't get rid of the tab with Yahoo Search on it. The Y page will continue to take over the screen. It doesn't happen everywhere, but I haven't found a connection between the sites where it does happen.

I have two monitors and often watch a film while browsing. How can I change the sound level of firefox so its not too loud?

I just want to be able to control the audio level of firefox separately from other running programs on the puter

Hi jagrix,
Unfortunately, Firefox is yet to have it's own volume control. Consequently, unless a site has it's own volume control, you can not modify firefox's sound.
Personally, I think Firefox having it's own volume control could work out well for digital multitaskers! I'll make a suggestion on bugzilla right now. I will update this post with details of my bug id. later
Hope this helps,
Taddle
