Inbox has taken over Firefox start page. I can't get rid of it. Any ideas?

Have attempted to remove program via the control pane. It appeared to succeed but was just removed from the list of programs. It still replaces Firefox when opening.

Thanks, it worked!

    Use the instructions at [[How to set the home page]].
    If the problem persists after that, you probably have an add-on that is adjusting it. See [[Uninstalling add-ons]]

  • I recently updated Firefox and something called Fantistic Games has taken over my homepage and I can't get rid of it.

    I used to get a field of 9 options to open when I opened a new page by clicking on the + button on the right side of the Search tab. After I updated Firefox a couple of days ago, my homepage had been taken over by something called "Fantasti Games". I can't find it anywhere to uninstall "Fantisti Games". I now have Google come up as my homepage when I open Mozilla Firefox, but each tab that I open comes up with the "FantastiGames" search engine. I need to get rid of that from my computer and revert back to what I had before, which was when I opened a new tab, I got nine large icons on the screen that gave me the choice of common sites to go to (such as AOL, YouTube, Weather.com, Google, etc.). Please tell me how to uninstall "FantastiGames".

    This is embarrassing. It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
    Did this fix the problem? Let us know!

  • Firefox start page has been replaced with foxstart, how do I get my firefox start page back, I cannot get rid of foxstart

    This appeared after a re-install due to a virus. On installing Firefox 6 it immediately went to foxstart as a home page, I cannot get rid of this or get back to the firefox start page, I have uninstalled Firefox and re installed but still get the same problem. The web indicates that this is now a problem for many of your users so it looks as if a fix needs to be generated to provent this happening. Hope you can resolve this problem. Many thanks. dave

  • VIDX Has taken over my browser. How do I get rid of it?

    Hello - I have been trying to get rid of this VidX virus that has seem to take over my browsers... Pop ups all the time - Re-directing me to SPAM pages.. its a mess!!
    The way I think I got it, was by downloading some "update" I thought I needed to get my videos to play on this blog I watch reality shows on..
    anyways - I found out it was a phony, becuase pop ups started to happen the minute I finalized that "INSTALL"
    I have the "AppZapper" I tried getting rid of it in there, and it did, from the "Applications" folder - but the pop ups never stopped happening.
    Attached are some of the stuff that's been happening on my browsers... and it says "Ads By VidX"

    Downloading software from untrustworthy site caused adware to be installed. This can occur when downloading anything from software aggregator hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or others.
    Don't do that. If you want to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, go directly to the source - usually the developer's own website, or the distribution source authorized by the developer.
    In general, searching for software by following the first Google result is a bad idea. The top ranked results will include one or more of the untrustworthy sources above, for the simple reason that Google gives first preference to sites that host Google's advertisements - and since Google tracks your search history and knows what browser and equipment you're using, you'll be targeted for garbage Mac apps that will result in even more misery if you were to install them.
    To fix your Firefox popup problems, go to Tools > Add-ons > Extensions. Remove "VidX" as well as anything else you aren't absolutely certain is required. Do the same with Plug-Ins and Services.
    Don't use AppZapper to delete anything either. It's not necessary and you might delete something required. Merely deleting the VidX app from Applications by dragging it to the Trash is enough.

  • Window 7 has taken over my IMac and I can't get back to Mac OS

    I have been running window 7 with bootcamp for about a month. Until recently, I could click the bootcamp icon in the windows systray and restart in Mac OS. Well, this week, I could no longer see the Bootcamp icon in the systray. Right clicking on the systray would bring up a window with options for various "hidden icons" one of which was the Bootcamp icon. I changed the status from "show only messages" to "always show" but still couldn't see the icon. So I clicked on the option to "show all icons on taskbar" and still can't see the bootcamp icon and now can't get back to the "options menu" ;(
    I've tried rebooting while holding down the alt key....restarts in windows both with restart and shut down and then restart
    I've tried entering the command at the command line as suggested in an apple help doc,(it's a long command and I don't have it handy but I copied it from the web page) but that just gives a "command not recognized" error.
    What happened to my BootCamp!? and how can I get to the Mac OS?
    TIA

    Check your control panels which is where that shortcut goes anyway.
    Holding x on startup should also boot into Mac OS.
    Boot from OS X DVD and go to Utility menu => Disk Utility, and repair your Mac partition.
    You may want to do some maintenance on Windows as well.

  • The Bing web browser has ijacked my Firefox browser. How can i get rid of it.

    I downloaded some wallpaper images from Bing. Which i can no longer delete. Then out of the blue Bing took over as my browser

    I am just guessing here but possibly Bing has reset your homepage, or has installed some sort of application/toolbar.
    To reset your homepage see: [[How to set the home page]]
    To look for unwanted addons use Tools -> Add-ons and disable &/or uninstall anything that is unwanted.

  • I am disabled, so I need voice contact with someone in Support. An alien program has taken over Firefox and I can't locate the files to delete front he rogue.

    The program that has taken over Firefox is called "inbox." I have disabled its cookies, but now, of course, I can't use the Firefox no matter who had taken it over.
    This is serious. I can' find the files with any routine search of my computer files, so they must be hidden.

    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.

  • Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL.

    Downloaded update for Firefox and now I can't get rid of AOL. I have tried to delete anything associated with AOL and when restart Firefox.....there's AOL again. I even reinstalled Firefox.......there it was again.

    Where does AOL show up -- home page?
    I think the first thing to check is whether you have any AOL-related add-ons. These might override your regular settings. You can review and disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Note that in most cases, you need to use the Restart Firefox link to actually deactivate the extension you chose to disable.
    Next, to fix your home page, try the steps in this article: [[How to set the home page]].
    If there is a problem with your search providers being switched from Google to AOL, try this extension:

  • I can't email a photo directly from iPhoto.  First, I only have two "themes" to choose from instead of 8, and when prompted to fill in the "to" and "from", the "from" box has "MobileMe" already in it, and I can't get rid of or change it. I have OSXLion

    I understand, as that was the place I would change it before 8.3 but now that option of Mail Days to Sync is not available?  Any idea why that would be?

  • ITunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    iTunes on iCloud has created unwanted multiple playlists. How can I get rid of them?

    Hi, if this is in regards to your library simply open up itunes and do the following steps:
    Click File
    Scroll down to "show duplicates"
    A list will then appear of your duplicate song titles.
    Be sure to CAREFULLY review each song to make sure it is a duplicate ( as I have some music that is the same song but live, acoustic etc...)
    Proceed to manually delete each song from the list and leave alone any song that you wish to keep.
    For playlists, you will need to hit the name tab so that your doubles line up, from there you will have to manually delete them, it helps to hold the Control button to select multiple songs as a time ( they will be highlighted) then when your done selecting the songs you wish to delete, right click your mouse and select the delete option from the window tab.
    Best of luck, please rate my response for help!

  • PCPowerBoost has taken over FireFox; how can I remove it?

    When downloading Adobe Flash, I got a bundle of other stuff (unwanted). I was able to uninstall all but PCPowerBoost 1.0.5. That seems to have infected FireFox. When I open FireFox, the search engine that comes up is Astromendia. I deleted that from my list of programs but I believe it's embedded in PCPowerBoost. I have uninstalled and reloaded FireFox but with the same result. How can I get rid of PCPowerBoost?

    Hello,
    Please see one of these guides:
    * http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-astromenda-virus/
    * http://malwaretips.com/blogs/astromenda-removal/
    If you have already uninstalled it, likely there are just some residual files leftover. You can first check your extensions to see if that didn't get removed:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
    Try running the scans outlined in the guides above (download links here as well):
    * [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]
    * [http://general-changelog-team.fr/en/downloads/viewdownload/20-outils-de-xplode/2-adwcleaner AdwCleaner] (for more info, see this [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ alternate AdwCleaner download page])
    You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool] extension to reset some of your settings. Installing this will set your home page, new tab page, and search preferences to the default settings and then the extension will uninstall itself.
