My computer will randomly leave a web site I'm working on and go back to my google start page.

The most recent incident was today but it has happened in the recent past. I was working on a website, filling out an account creation form to begin accessing a secure website. I was almost finished when I was switched back to firefox start page with google. This happened twice, doing the same thing.When I go back to the page it's blank and I have to start again.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

  • My wireless HP Deskjet 3050 printer will not print from web sites.

    My HP Deskjet 3050 J610 printer will not print from web sites - it prints ok from WORD, etc. I keep getting the error message: "An unknown error occurred while printing." This problem only arises with Firefox browser.
    The printer is connected wirelessly to a network and this occurs when I use a laptop on the network. It is also connected via cable to a desktop computer but there is no problem in printing from the desktop.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.

    That sounds as if you need to investigate to see if you were able to clear all of the paper that was causing the jam. 
    Best regards,

  • Safari will not open certain web sites with https or http

    safari will not open certain web sites with https or http,any help will be welcome,it must be a security setting,but i have not changed any settings.

    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Exensions tab.
    If there are any installed, switch the button to off, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If there is more than one extension insalled, uninstall one a time, quit and relaunch Safari and test.

  • I've been working on our church website and suddenly, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

    I've been working on our church website and all of a sudden this week, my computer will not connect to the site. I keep getting a message saying that the the connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this?

    The "The connection was reset" error message can be caused by a bug fix for the BEAST (Browser Exploit Against SSL/TLS) attack that the server doesn't handle.

  • On the previous vertion, I could leave a web site by indicating home. How can I do this now?

    On the previous version of Firefox I could indicate "home" and leave a web site. Upon so doing, I then cleared history before moving to the next web site. I would like to be able to continue doing so as it provides me with a level of security I don't otherwise have.

    There still is a Home button, but it has moved to the area of the Navigation toolbar between the address box and the search box. (Why? I don't know.)
    If you prefer to move it to the left, you can do that using the Customize feature. More info on Customize: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars How do I customize the toolbars? | How to | Firefox Help].
    To clear history, were you previously using Tools > Clear Recent History? If you have the orange Firefox button, you can access that using the rightward-pointing triangle next to History on the consolidated menu.
    If you prefer the classic menu bar, tap the Alt key, then View > Toolbars > Menu Bar.
    Does that cover it?

  • My computer will randomly shut down.

    Hello. I am using a 2006 model macbook pro, running 10.6.8 OS X. My Computer will randomly shut down with no prompt or closing any programs, as if someone held down the power button. When i go to the console application and look under system.log the last message i recieve before my computer shuts down is this:
    Dec  8 22:10:44 kieran-hooks-computer [0x0-0x16016].com.apple.appstore[170]: This isn't a bitmap context. Forcing destination format to ARGB_8 for CGContext.
    this message is repeated over 15 times in a few seconds. I know quite a bit about computers so dont be afraid to get technical.
    please help,

    I know that it only does this when I do something computer intensive. And also the fans run 6000rpm constantly from startup.

  • Since a recent trip to Mexico, Safari and other browsers are now being taken over or manipulated by other web sites. I installed adblock and the situation is getting worse. What to do?

    Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

  • Multiple domains names and web sites with only one SLS and one static IP

    I tried to find a post on this topic but I still can't find what needs to be done.
    SLS is configured for one domain with one web site and it's working well. We will call it domain1.com. Here is the config:
    Static IP: 69.x.x.x
    DNS setting under Server Admin:
    hostname: server.domain1.com
    Two DNS entries under domain1.com with:
    www - alias - server.domain1.com
    server - Machine - 10.0.1.x (fixe IP for server on LAN)
    Web settings under Server Admin:
    server.domain1.com - 10.0.1.x - Port 80
    Domain1.com is managed with DynDNS Custom DNS Service with 1 record:
    domain1.com - A-record - 69.x.x.x
    I want to host a second domain (for a website) called domain2.com. It's also registred at DynDNS and I have custom DNS setting to configure.
    What's need to be done to have both domains with seperate web site on SLS under DNS and Web settings (beside the fact that I will have 2 different folders with the website files in it). I understand that I will need a new entry in the DNS for the new domain (domain2.com) and also an entry in the Web Service pane. But what are the details.
    Thanks.

    When you said, "you don't need to do CNAME for both sites…", would this method still allow me to use personal web addresses for both sites?
    Yes. With "Ordinary Forwarding" you normally just type your .Mac url (web.mac.com/username/sitename) into a form at the place where you have your name.
    I thought I was using 'web.mac.com' as the 'www' CNAME (alias) for my personal domain name (web address), so that when someone typed in my personal domain name they would 'go' to the domain registration location, which would then pass it on to the .Mac server, where my web site is hosted.
    That's exactly right. It's just not the only way to do that. Ordinary Forwarding is another way, but it differs in terms of what appears in the address bar of the browser. Either you will see web.mac.com/username/.... or, if you add "masking", you will see your personal name for all pages. The CNAME method results in a address bar that reads www.myname.com/sitename/pagename.html.
    Am I way off?
    All help gratefully received,

  • MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

    MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.  This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
    Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
    I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

  • TS4006 It will not update. Just sits in my App Store and freezes . I have a iPhone 4S with the latest software.

    It will not update. Just sits in my App Store and freezes . I have a iPhone 4S with the latest software.

    If it's freezing when you try to update apps, try force-closing the App Store app.  From your home screen, double-tap the home button, locate App Store in the list on the bottom, tap an hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again.  Try updating again...any difference?

  • Why can't I get my mail, I get a message "connection to server failed" but I can get on all other web sites.  It worked fine until about a month ago.

    WHY CAN'T I GET MY MAIL, I GET A MESSAGE 'CONNECTION TO SERVER FAILED" BUT I CAN GET ON ALL OTHER WEB SITES.  IT WORKED FINE UNTIL ABOUT A MONTH AGO.  I CANCELLED MY ACCOUNT, PUT MY INFO IN AGAIN AND STILL GET THE MESSAGE "CONNECTION TO SERVER FAILED"  HELP PLEASE!

    have you tried removing and readding the e-mail account? sometimes settings get corrupted or changed on the server end...something computers can sometimes handle better than the mail interface.
