Many of my bookmarks give me BBC web pages instead of what's indicated.

Almost half of my bookmarks (eg. "hotmail", "Amazon" ) open a BBC news web page instead. I imported them from Internet Explorer, but they work in that browser.

This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Firefox is loading another web page instead of what I'm selecting

    When using a search engine (google.com) and clicking on a search result, I'm being re-routed to another website.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hi,
    My name is John, and I'm a member of the Searchqu Support Team. I'm here to help :)
    When the software was installed onto your pc it offered two basic installs, typical installation, which lists the add-on features such as searchqu homepage, and custom installation, which allows you to select the add-ons that you wish to install. There's no need to worry if you did the typical install - this isn't a virus, nor malware, and there's no need to Perform a virus scan against it.
    In order to change searchqu as your homepage please check:

  • Many images do not appear on numerous web pages. How can I fix this? I have graphics enabled.

    For quite some time many images just do not appear on web pages. I have taken a screen shot of a page to show what the problem is but can find nowhere to upload it so you can see for yourselves. Now what do I do?

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden "Menu Bar" temporarily.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
    *Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
    *If an image in the list is grayed and "<i>Block Images from...</i>" has a check-mark then remove this check-mark to unblock images from this domain.
    Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the <b>about:config</b> page should be 1.
    Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
    Note that these settings affect background images.

    There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

  • If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

    If I click on an e-mail address link in a web page instead of a blank message opening I always get a pop up screen with a log-in for googlemail. I do not have and do not want a googlemail account. I just want to be able to send e-mails using Outlook.

    OUtlook was already set as the mail client for FF, and is my operating system (XP)'s default mail programme. therefore problem not solved at all. what I get whenever I follow a link in a webpage to send an e-mail is a little pop up window asking me to sign in to gmail or open an account. any other suggestions?

  • I can't see the images on a web page, instead of them I get an interrogation.

    I can't see the images on a web page, instead of them I get an interrogation.This is only one page, and none of the browsers can view your images, and this happened after updating the operating system to Yosemite.

    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    "Develop" menu will appear in the Safari menu bar
    Enable Images.
    Make sure that"Disable Images" is not enabled.

  • HT1677 Where can you set default in Safari to view as web page instead of Mobile Version?

    Where can you set the default setting in Safari to open page as web page instead of Mobile Version on iPad running iOS6.01?

    And, to make it even more fun, sometimes a website changes how it deals with Safari Mobile. A website that treated it like a desktop browser suddenly starts treating it like a cell phone. Just to mess with you. Or push an app.
    Best of luck.

  • Playing video in web page instead of full screen

    There is no "web authoring for iPad" forum. So I apologize for posting in the inappropriate section.
    I have a web page with multiple video feeds, each with its own playlist, all playing at the same time. This works well with computer browsers. But the iPad/iPod/iPhones keep opening one video full screen. Is there a way to get the videos to play in their place on the web page instead?

    Only the iPad is capable of playing videos in place. iPhone and iPod Touch will always open videos in a separate Quicktime window. I don't believe you have to do anything special for the video to play in place on iPad. Just embed the video as normal.

  • How do I get Firefox to print the entire web page instead of truncating when it gets to end of first print page?

    Firefox 3.6.8, Windows XP Pro
    Frequently when I try to do a print of a web page, I end up printing only whatever fits on the first printed page. Instead of continuing to later pages as needed, the rest of the displayed web page is simply ignored.

    See Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my home page"

  • How can I  make my own design for a web page instead of using a template?

    Need to ask the question again. I tried using the blank template, but could not get it to work. I could not insert images and copy where I wanted and in size I wanted.

    rapcom wrote:
    A general question: Is it possible to change the dimensions of the web page? Or even its positioning as a horizontal or vertical format?
    Yes — it's done via iWeb Inspector's Page tab (the second one at the top), editing the values in the +Page Size+ fields. After entering a new value, click the Return key to make it take effect...
    ..By the way, the above image is taken from a tutorial ~ click on the image above to read the tutorial.
    rapcom wrote:
    I also would prefer to edit the copy on the blank web page, and cannot do that either. Is it possible to do so?
    Yes, it's possible. But it's difficult to know what exact difficulty you're having, and I perhaps risk stating the obvious... One thing to be aware of is that clicking once inside a text box will simply select that box (you'll see eight +"grab handles"+ for re-sizing). But to edit the text inside, you need to click once more. Experiment with clicking inside and outside text boxes and you'll learn.
    And iWeb's Help menu has several resources ~ the Help viewer, a +Getting Started+ PDF and a link to ten video tutorials. One of the videos briefly demonstrates adding a text box towards the end; click here...
    If after the above you still need help, post back with step-by-step details of the problem.

  • Why does your "Most Visited" button list mostly one-time-only web pages instead of ones I visit several times per day?

    Most Visited drop-down lists mostly one-time visit web pages, and includes unrecognizable pages. Does not show pages I visit several times during the day.

    Among the alternatives not mentioned... Using a TiVo DVR, rather than the X1; a Roamio Plus or Pro would solve both the concern over the quality of the DVR, as well as providing the MoCA bridge capability the poster so desperately wanted the X1 DVR to provide. (Although the TiVo's support only MoCA 1.1.) Just get a third-party MoCA adapter for the distant location. Why the hang-up on having a device provided by Comcast? This seems especially ironic given the opinions expressed regarding payments over time to Comcast. If a MoCA 2.0 bridge was the requirement, they don't exist outside providers. So couldn't the poster have simply requested a replacement XB3 from the local office and configured it down to only providing MoCA bridging -- and perhaps as a wireless access point? Comcast would bill him the monthly rate for the extra device, but such is the state of MoCA 2.0. Much of the OP sounds like frustration over devices providing capabilities the poster *thinks* they should have.

  • Converting Web Page to PDF (What happened)?

    Something happened, either with an adobe update or to my PC, in the last 24 hours that has caused the convert to web page function within both firefox and chrome to no longer be usable for work purposes. Before web pages would retain their native look (as if you were looking at the page itself in a web browser). For some reason now conversions of websites lose their formating and default to mainly plain text.

    Here is an example of what I am talking about. Before and After.

  • Unable to view web page no matter what browser i use

    Ok on my MacBook i am unable to view a web site no matter what browser i use. If i go to another computer in my network i am able to view this site. If i take my laptop to another network it will still not work.  I have run permissions and disk warrior. I did try a few things with onyx as well but was not so sure what i was doing. Any suggestions?

    What is the error?
    The DNS cache could be stuck.
    In the Terminal try:dig www.macupdate.comIt should reply that it is 70.86.154.194.
    If that doesn't work, you DNS is not working and pointing you to the wrong place.
    You can try clearing the DNS cache with dscacheutil -flushcacheAlmost forgot to mention: there are several threads on similar problems.
