INBOX has taken over Mozilla homepage when I open Firefox. How do I delete it?

I was browsing for a map of Berlin and opened a site. I closed it when it didn't provide the information free.
Now when I open Firefox, I get their homepage INBOX.
I tried closing down the computer and restarting, but this does not work.
How can I delete INBOX as the default browser and restore Firefox as the browser when I click its icon in the dock.
I have an iMac OS X 10.6.8.

Firefox can open multiple home pages. They are separated with the "|" keyboard character. Easiest way to set multiple home pages:
#open only the pages you want to be set as home pages
#go to Options > General
#set "When Firefox starts" to "Show my home page"
#click "Use current pages"

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]].

In Tools, Addons, Extensions, you may wish to disable 'SearchToolbar' extension, restart Firefox.

I have multiple tabs opening when I open Firefox, how do I make this stop?

I have 3 differnet tabs that open when I open Firefox

3. LastPass
I did upgrade my Firefox but then alot of my programs quit working so I went back to version 3.6.24 and ever since I get these 3 windows that come up. Its getting very frustrating. Can anyone help me.

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile

Inbox has taken over my Mozilla Firefox page, as well as the Internet Explorer. How do I get rid of it? It's no longer on my Control Panel to delete/

Looking for map/info about MARC from Martinsburg, WV to DCA, it appeared I needed to "sign in" to get info. InBox took over the homepage screen.
I have gone to Control Panel and deleted Inbox from there. But, it AIN'T gone. I don't want to go into any of my accounts - bank acc't, etc. for fear of unsafety.

Try uninstalling that '''SearchToolbar/1.2''', which is probably how you got Bing as your Firefox Homepage. Then reset the Firefox homepage '''in Firefox''', not '''''Internet Options'''''.

Imesh has taken over. Wont get out. Has taken over my homepage.

I downloaded imesh to get access to more music. It has now taken over my computer like a virus. I have w XP and have removed it out of the add/remove section of the computer. CNN is my homepage, but since downloading It, cannot get my hompage back. Everytime I click on MF to get my home page, the imesh search comes up instead.

Many thanks.
First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

Running win-7, I get MSN's inane homepage when I open Firefox and don't know how to change it to (for instance) Google.

I've just switched computers and downloaded Firefox onto my new machine. It runs Win-7, so I get MSN's inane home page with celebrity news and ads every time I open Firefox. How do I change it to, let's say, plain vanilla Google?

Thanks. As Huxley said when he read Darwin's manuscript the first time, "How stupid of me not to have thought of that!"

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!

A window has begun to pop-up when I open Firefox. Purple box with about 20 topics in it. How do I get rid of it?

It's a purple box that has about 20 topics in it. How do I get rid of it?

As far as I know, this has never been a feature of Firefox's core. Do you have an addon such as New Tab JumpStart or New Tab King that gave you this feature in Firefox 4? It's possible that whatever addon gave you this feature before hasn't been updated to work with Firefox 5. If you don't want to wait for that addon to update, you could try either of the addons I mentioned above.
Here's NTJS: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/new-tab-jumpstart/

I do not want the new tab with apps opening up when I open Firefox, how do I fix this?

I just want the home page to open without the new tab with a search bar on it.

Sometimes home page changes are caused by a new extension, or by external software modifying your Firefox settings. These can sneak in when you install other software, as many free programs include a bundle of less useful stuff.
Could you check your extensions for anything nonessential or unrecognized? Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. Or if it's obviously rubbish, remove.
If the Remove button is missing for an extension, you usually can find a way to remove it using the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program (or whatever it is called now in Windows 8.1). Clicking the "Installed on" column heading to sort by date is useful in finding and removing unknown bundle items or other untrustworthy additions.
Once your system is clean, does your preferred home page show up, either immediately or after updating the setting in Options?

There is no location bar when I open Firefox, how do I get it back?

Firefox has taken over my computer to the extent that I can't get out of firefox back to my regular homepage and moreover I can't even log out or shut down.

When I try to log on as I have usually done I get a small window
stating that an error has occurred and when I click on what should solve the problem a larger white window appears stating
I should not close the window...although several times I have
not close the window all I get is 2 blue spinning circles.
I feel like Firefox has taken over my heretofore routine
usage of my computer and I have lost control. HELP!!!!!

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support
