My home page opens to Yahoo. The weather sidebar says my location is Richardson, Texas. But I live thousands of miles away from Texas. Has my computer been "captured" as some sort of robot-zombie?

Safari Problem--Location ID

In the Yahoo weather sidebar, next to the location name, there appears to be an icon like an inverted teal teardrop. Click the teardrop and you should get a popup that will allow you to set your zip code (there may be two or three choices they come up with) and when entering, say, 95350, you would see Modesto in a list. Click the plus icon and your default should change to Modesto.
Or you could pack up and move to Richardson, but that would be kind of extreme.
BTW, Sham Field is showing 74° right now.

Firefox home page opens instead of the webpage I want

I have to keep re-installing Firefox as my desktop shortcuts to various webpages stop working and Firefox homepage opens instead.
If I delete and re-install Firefox, they work for a couple of days, then I'm back to the home page opening instead.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software does have virtualization features that can cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

I was restoring my ipad and itunes synced now it is telling the ipad may be damaged and to take it to a store. 100 miles away from nearest. I think i did everything correct how do i get the ipad to turn back on.

i was restoring the ipad due to password (which was remembered but was not working) blocking restriction. Decided to restore to original settings and it seemed like it went thru. but when came to end it said to take device to apple store. Can anyone help. I am 80 miles from the nearest store.

Is the iPad charged? Plug it in with the charger/wall outlet for half an hour and try again to reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.

I have Google as my default home page in Firefox and the Google proser opens when I start Firefox, but every time I open a new tab it opens the Yahoo browser.

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

When opening up Firefox, I kep getting a message: Firefox kept this page from reloading". My home page opens up but some other websites do not open until I hit the "allow" but. How do I remove this or adjust this?

My home page opens up fine, and there is a message, " Firefox kept this page from automatically reloading", and this same message shows up all the time. When I got to new websites, they will not open until I hit the "allow button" How do I turn this on or off, or adjust it?

Go to Tools --> Options.
In the Advanced tab go to "General". Uncheck the check box "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

With 2 tabs open, how can I go to the home page for the tab I'm on, instead of both home pages opening in new windows

I have two tabs, each one set to a homepage. when I am browsing on one of the tabs, and want to go back to the homepage on that tab. when I hit the homepage icon, the home page opens on this tab, and the other homepage opens in a new tab, een though it's one on the first tab already. In IE, there's a drop down box which allows you to select a home page to open. is that available?
thanks

You can create two separate bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar if you want to open those pages individually.

How do i make a tab active and make it stay that way always. If i put a website in my home page in order for the tabs to open automatically in that same homepage , this setting is not working, every time I open a tab , a white window appears .

By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

My iPhone suddenly has stopped ringing, unless I have the home page open

I have an iPhone 4 with OS 7.1.2 It is about 3 years old and has been working well, until recently.
Now it will not ring my Phone or my Messages or my Errands unless I have the home page open.
This is bad, because I miss my calls, messages and appointments this way.
I don't know if the following has anything to do with it: I also have a defective Home button.
It works occasionally, so I usually use the top button on the device to turn it on and a soft button to get to the home page from anywhere.

Thanks!!!
That worked!
The genius I saw couple of days ago had no clue, he blamed the apps.

TS4123 Whenever I open the iTunes store, the home pages of all of the sections (Music, App Store, Films etc) are black. They still have clickable hyperlinks, but I can't see what I'm clicking. Any pages accessed through the drop-down menus or by randomly

Whenever I open the iTunes store, the home pages of all of the sections (Music, App Store etc.) are BLACK. They still have clickable hyperlinks, but I can't see what I'm clicking. Any pagess accessed through the drop-down menus (even iHelp) or by randomly clicking I can't see.

Thanks but it's just my desktop that doesn't see it though. My notebook sees it everytime, even at the same exact time that my desktop doesn't see it. For example yesterday when I was typing up this post, I was typing up the post on my notebook because my desktop didn't see the router. I don't think it has anything to do with the router actually, but I wanted to see if anyone on here has encountered this issue before. Other forums have similar issues but I've tried all of the fixes I found elsewhere and they didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks!

Safari home page opens to a page with ads. How do I correct this?

Safari home page opens to a screen withers. I do not want this to happen. How do I correct it? Thanks.

Open the General tab of Safari's preferences and check the homepage as well as what new windows and tabs open with.
If the issue persists, 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.

When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

When I open a new window (Ctrl+N), I want a blank page to appear. I do not want my home pages opened. How can I do that?

A new window opens by default with the home page(s). 
If you want a blank window then you need to open an about:blank page in a new window. 
You can do that with a bookmark that you open with a Shift+ left-click in a new window. 
Otherwise you need to set the Home page to a blank page and use a bookmark to open the preferred Home page in a new tab.

My Firefox home page doesn't look the same since I installed and then uninstalled "Inbox".

My home page used to show the Firefox logo (fox encirling the globe) with a Google search bar below. Now I just have the logo and a searchbar, but the search bar doesn't work. I enter a keyord, hit enter and nothing happens.
The only change I made was I inadvertently installed (and then uninstalled) "Inbox".
I loved my old standard, plain Firefox home page and I miss it terribly. Please help.

You can try to delete the file chromeappsstore.sqlite in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Amazon home page opens as 1999.. when i click anywhere on the page it fades away and the actual site appears. this happened shortly after on safari i clicked on flash update from youtube. is this malware? I ran disk utility but no luck :/ What should I do guys?
Also the same problem exists in both safari and chrome so its not just a safari web hacker

Hello there,
Have you attempted to restart your network by unplugging your router for a full minute, then plugging it back in? This can help with intermittent issues such as what you're seeing with sluggish websites.
Additionally, clearing your browsers cookies and cache can help remove excess data that could be causing some loading issues. For each browser follow the links below:
Safari: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4448839?tstart=0
Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95582?hl=en-GB
Give those steps a try and see if the issue still persists.
Keep us posted!

Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.
