Instead of my default home page, Firefox logs onto a search screen ("Mysearchdial Search" with popup ads.

1) Is "Mysearchdial" part of your system, or have I been hijacked? 2)Why doesn't Firefox open on the local website that I have set as my homepage several times? 3) Why aren't popups blocked on the same websites that Internet Explorer blocked popups on my old PC?
New PC has Win8.

hello alicemorrow, this adware is certainly not something that is coming from mozilla. please try these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

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.

Firefox loading wrong page when searching from default home page

Hi,
When I try a search from the default home page (about:home) in Firefox, instead of bringing up google search results I get sent to the following page
http://search.tuxendo.com
Has anyone come across this before?

This reply by cor-el was a partial solution to the problem. But there was a further problem. Ask.com had a .exe program installed in my computer along with a program I had installed (Webroot anti-virus and Spy Sweeper), and this .exe program would keep restoring ask.com as the default search engine after I removed it. I had to use the "remove program" function of the Control Panel to remove the .exe program (called Webroot Ask.exe or something close to that) to finish the job.
So to dispose of the problem, follow the advice above from cor-el, and then go to the Control Panel, track down some form of ask.exe, and remove it.

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs. 
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Firefox only loads book-marked websites. no websites load from firefox default home page searh or address bar inputs. HELP

I Run Windows 7 Ultimate. I use Avast anti Virus. Google Chrome works fine. Firefox started not responding to searches queries from its default home page. When I input an address in the address line i also had no reaction. When i clicked om a bookmark it does load that particular website. I have uninstalled firefox completely. Reloaded the latest version downloaded from Mozilla. Still have the same problem. I did a Reset Firefox. No luck. I changed the proxy settings to "no proxy".

Setting the System Default Home Page

Hello everyone... i've created a root page with some portlets on it...
what i am trying to do is to set this root page as default for a particular user.
i found some steps online but it doesn't seem to work...
here is what i was trying to do:
To set a user's default home page:
In the Portal User Profile portlet, in the Name field, enter the user name of the user for whom you want to assign a default home page.
By default, the Portal User Profile portlet is on the Administer tab of the Portal Builder page.
Click Edit.
Next to the Default Home Page field, click the Browse Pages icon to see a list of pages from which to choose.
Click Return Object next to the page you want to make the default home page for this user.
Click OK.
please let me know how to do this correctly...
thank you

Hi,
You can change for example the Branding image, instead of the SAP logo. Refer to this [Thread|MI client homepage log change in MI 7.0;
Is this what you mean by changing the home page?
Thanks & Regards

Can't reassign default home page for site connection

I am connecting to a site where index.php is the default home page. For some reason, it keeps pointing to index.html and of course comes up "page not found". I have edited the connection so that ONLY index.php is in the default page list (under index files tab), and it still looks for index.html.
I have deleted the entire connection, restarted contribute, navigated to the home page successfully during set up, only to have it look for index.html again. I have also manually typed in the full url and index.php in another set up attempt. I logged onto the server and deleted the entire folder that Contribute set up, thinking it was holding on to some information in the files there. I restarted contribute, created a new connection to the site, and it STILL is looking for index.html. It should be loading http://www.gotohudson.net but instead it's trying to load http://www.gotohudson.net/index.html.
HELP me get rid of that reference.....
thank you,
Marita

Steps:
1) Administer the website.
2) Select the role, to whom you want to set the homepage.
3) Click on Edit Role Setting.
4) In the General category, Choose the Home page for users in this role.
5) Click OK to save and exit.
Hope this solves your problem.

How to set a default home page in Safari

Is there a way to set up a default home page in Safari so that when I launch it, it will always go to that page first?

Navigate to the page you want to be your home page. Press the + and then Add to Home Screen. Now simply use that new icon to launch Safari instead of the Safari icon.

Help please, I need to change my default home page.

Allow User to set their Default Home Page

How can I allow the end user to set their defualt home page? There is a User Profile Portlet but end users are not able to see it when they log in. Also, I want them to be able to just set their own defualt home page.
Thanks.

As a privileged user:
[same functionality as above]
Oracle Portal Home Page > Administer Tab > Portal User Profile > Edit Portal User Profile > Preferences Tab > Default Home Page
On this page you can also set the Default Group for the user. As groups have a Default Home Page property too, the Default Home Page can be managed on a group membership basis, if needed.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Peter

HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page

Hi,
No EBS login page was available this morning but all services appeared to be online as usual. I restarted Apps Tier and could then see login page.
Now I have to find out what happened. There is nothing in the db log file, the listener log, the cc manager logs, the Jserv logs.
The only thing in the Apache log is this:
first error around 4.30am, then next later this morning:
[Wed Aug 26 04:36:55 2009] [warn] mod_plsql: /pls/PROD/OA_HTML/webtools/jslib/cabo_utilities.js HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page
[Wed Aug 26 04:36:55 2009] [warn] mod_plsql: /pls/PROD/OA_HTML/webtools/jslib/container_constructor.js HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page
[Wed Aug 26 04:36:55 2009] [warn] mod_plsql: /pls/PROD/OA_HTML/webtools/jslib/toolbar_constructor.js HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page
then, a little later this morning:
[Wed Aug 26 10:44:36 2009] [warn] mod_plsql: /pls/PROD/OA_HTML/webtools/jslib/container_constructor.js HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page
[Wed Aug 26 10:44:36 2009] [warn] mod_plsql: /pls/PROD/OA_HTML/webtools/jslib/toolbar_constructor.js HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page

[Wed Aug 26 10:44:36 2009] [warn] mod_plsql: /pls/PROD/OA_HTML/webtools/jslib/cabo_utilities.js HTTP-404 No DAD configuration found or no default home page
Is this the problem or, as I suspect, the symptom of the problem? I am running out of ideas of where to look for any thing that might point to what happened.
OS is WIndows Server 2003. EBS is 11.5.10 and db is 10.2.0.2.
Thanks.
DA
Oh - no clones, no changes have been made recently.

Hi Dan,
The entries in the log files posted above do not help much in finding out the cause of the issue. Does this happen regularly? Can you find any dump files created when this happens? If this happens for few times only, is there any specific action that is done by the users (for example, running specific concurrent program, accessing certain module/form, ..etc) or by the system (like a backup)?
Did you try to find if any errors are logged in the Event Viewer? Since debugging was not enabled at the time this issue occurred, then it is not easy to tell why that happened. Maybe you could log a SR and upload all relevant log files and see if Oracle Support can help.
Regards,
Hussein
