My homepage reverts to something I don't want each time I restart Firefox

I downloaded imesh as I was trying to find backing music for a song - it didn't have to piece I required. When I downloaded it - imesh became my homepage. I keep on changing my homepage to what I actually want it to be but it reverts to imesh each time I restart Firefox. I have uninstalled imesh from my computer and it still does it. How do stop it from doing this?

-> Tap '''ALT''' key or press '''F10''' to show the Menu Bar
-> go to Help Menu -> select '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''
Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. Now do this:
-> go to View Menu -> Toolbars -> unselect All Unwanted/Incompatible Toolbars
-> go to Tools Menu -> Clear Recent History -> '''Time range to clear: select "EVERYTHING"''' -> click Details (small arrow) button -> place Checkmarks on '''Cookies, Cache''' -> click '''Clear Now'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> General -> in '''Startup''' section click '''Reset to Default''' button
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Content -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Block Pop-up windows 2) Load images automatically 3) Enable JavaScript
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Privacy -> History section -> '''Firefox will: select "Remember History"'''
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Security -> place Checkmarks on:
1) Warn me when sites try to install add-ons 2) Block reported attack sites 3) Block reported web forgeries
-> go to Tools Menu -> Options -> Advanced -> Network -> Offline Storage (Cache): click '''Clear Now''' button
-> Click OK on Options window
-> click the Favicon on SearchBar -> click '''Manage Search Engines''' -> select all Unwanted Search Engines and click '''Remove''' -> click OK
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Extensions section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Extensions (Add-ons)
-> go to Tools Menu -> Add-ons -> Appearance section -> REMOVE All Unwanted/Suspicious/Incompatible Themes (Persona)
-> Restart Firefox
You can enable your Known & Trustworthy Add-ons and Themes later. Check and tell if its working.

Why do my homepage settings change to a site I do not want every time I shutdown Firefox - EVEN THOUGH I have gone through the process of saving the site I really want?

I am desparate to set my homepage to http://www.google.co.uk/ig?hl=en
However, even after manually setting it to the site I want, every time I restart Firefox it has reverted to http://www.searchqu.com/406
I have tried every solution that I have found in Firefox help, but to no avail.
I have only recently changed to Firefox and am impressed with the way it works with this one exception, which is driving me mad.
PLEASE, PLEASE can anyone out there help?

Thanks for the reply. I never get the option to "Restore Previous History" from History. I don't even have the box checked that asks to delete the history when Firefox closes. I don't know what's wrong, no matter what, I always lose everything. I have the box marked "Show my windows and tabs from last time" for when I open Firefox, but it never shows that, just my homepage. Also, when I check my History, it only shows the pages that I opened since I started Firefox, nothing from before. Even if I were to open up 10 pages now, close Firefox, and open it, the history would only show the homepage that opened this time, not any of the 10 pages that I opened 5 minutes ago.

I don't want my Time Capsule to link ti Internet, does anyone know how to achieve this ? Thanks Don

I don't want my Time Capsule to link to Internet, does anyone know how to achieve this ? Thanks Don

Don,
We have no idea how you have your network set up, or what devices other than a Time Capsule that you might have, so it it impossible to provide an answer for you based on what we know at this time.
Can you provide some details so that we can understand how you have things setup, what devices that you have, etc?
The Time Capsule does need to connect to the Internet to receive firmware updates from Apple, so you would be missing out on some significant things......like a recent important security update....if you try to configure the Time Capsule to connect in the way that you ask about.
Backups will not be "automatic" if you configure the Time Capsule without an Internet connection. You will have to manually switch networks whenever you want to back up, and then switch back again to your "other" network for normal use. Quite a hassle for most users, even if it can be done.

Since upgrade to fireox 25 each time I open firefox a see briefly the following message "Reverted Change.....on general useragent override." what does this mean

Hi all, since upgrading to Firefox 25 each time I boot Firefox I see briefly the following in a small window whilst it is opening. "Reverted change ..... on general useragent override." What does this mean and if it is a problem how is it rectified? I see the same message on Windows 7 64 bit and 2 LInux Distros.
Thanks for any explanation.

This message is probably coming from the User Agent Switcher extension that detects that you have a user agent override active as you can see in the System Details List.
*general.useragent.override: Mozilla/5.0 (masking-agent; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0

In windows 7, firefox 4.0.1, How do you close tabs so they don't open every time I open firefox?

Can't close tabs so they don't open every time I open Firefox.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When I try to set my homepage to a specific website, firefox will not store permanently. I have to reset home page each time I open firefox. are there additional instructions in help to address this?

Each time I open firefox, it doesn't open to my previously set website (Yahoo). I have to reset the homepage each time I open firefox despite following the help menu method. I'm not able to locate a possible cause/solution on the help menu. pls advise

Please do the following. 
* In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter. 
* In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL''' 
* Double click it and remove whatever's in there and replace it with http://search.yahoo.com/search?p= 
The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "''Copy Link Location''" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
After you complete the above steps, install this add-on to prevent another search engine from modifying your preferences: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/browserprotect/

TS5185 I can't deregister iMessage from my account since I no longer have my iPhone. I recently changed to a Samsung S4. Anybody know of any solutions? Apple support wants me to buy a one time tech support. This is something I don't want to resort to.

I can't deregister iMessage from my account. I no longer have my iPhone. I have a Samsung 4S and cannot receive text messages with data that come from someone else's iPhone. Apple support wants to charge a one time tech help fee. I don't want to resort to this. Can any one help?

Call back and explain that you are not attempting to get troubleshooting support for the device, but for the iMessage service, which is related to iCloud, and they should be able to grant an exception for that. The $19 fee is supposed to be only for troubleshooting a hardware issue, not for a service issue.
For example, you can have an iTunes account without even owning an Apple device. I can use iTunes on my Windows PC. There's no hardware to support, so the 90-days limitation doesn't apply.
If they refuse to offer support, then ask for a Senior Advisor.

I downloaded my remote server from work. it is a citric remote. When I try to open it tells me it could be something I don't want or it needs an app. When I say open anyway it won't open

I can't open my remote server I downloaded on my MacBook air. It is a citrix remote. When I try to open I am told it could need and application or it may harm my computer. I click open anyway but it won't open. Warning sign keeps coming up.

Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Slow phone now something I don't want.

Hello!
So I complained to my nephew about the slowness of my Droid Razr Maxx and he said he can fix it. So I gave it to him and what I got back was something completely different. I took it into a VW store and the associate explained to me that my phone was now rooted and running a modified ROM. That's pretty much all he told me and then handed me the phone back and smiled.
From doing research, and talking with my nephew, I now have cyangenmod with safestrap. How do I go about getting my phone back to it's original factory state?
Thanks SO much in advance!
I

As suggested talking about phones being altered can't be mentioned on here,
But you could try I guess running a Full Factory Reset, if you check the box for internal Storage it will remove any internal files, The SD can be cleared as well.. all of this might possibly help remove the issue you have to just have to try the suggestion and see..
