New tab content hijacked with Firefox competitor when new software was installed. How to change it back to blank?
Hello.
I installed a new free software app and it had an option to add a competitor of Firefox's toolbar and change the home page, I believe. I first unchecked it but because of a hiccup during the installation, the checks reappeared and I couldn't change it.
Now, every time I click to get a new tab, FF's competitor's search box is on the page.
'''Q: '''How can I change it back to blank ? I've found out that it is not the home page feature and I don't see where to make the change in the tab preferences.
Thanks.
Thanks for your reply.
I uninstalled the main software which I didn't get it to work in the limited time I had. I may try later, though. The toolbar and that page on the new tab were not part of the uninstall routine.
Hopefully, there is another way to revert back to the blank page.
Thanks.

Can anyone assist with the steps to back up my iphone 4s. thanks
Notes are included in an iTunes backup.
What does iTunes back up
iTunes will back up the following information
Camera Roll (photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken)
For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
Contacts* and Contact Favorites (regularly sync your contacts to a computer or cloud service, such as iCloud, to back them up)
Calendar accounts and subscribed calendars
Calendar events
Safari bookmarks, cookies, history, offline data, and currently open pages
Autofill for webpages
Offline web application cache/database
Notes
Mail accounts (mail messages aren't backed up)
Microsoft Exchange account configurations
Call history
Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos)
Voicemail token (This isn't the voicemail password, but is used for validation when connecting. This is only restored to a phone with the same phone number on the SIM card)
Voice memos
Network settings (saved Wi-Fi hotspots, VPN settings, network preferences)
Keychain (includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some applications)
If you encrypt the backup, you can transfer the keychain information to the new device. With an unencrypted backup, you can restore the keychain only to the same iOS device. If you're restoring to a new device with an unencrypted backup, you need to enter these passwords again.
App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp, and Caches folder)
Application settings, preferences, and data, including documents
In-app purchases
Game Center account
Wallpapers
Location service preferences for apps and websites you've allowed to use your location
Home screen arrangement
Installed profiles
When you restore a backup to a different device, installed configuration profiles aren't restored (such as accounts, restrictions, or anything that can be specified through an installed profile). Any accounts or settings that aren't associated with an installed profile will be restored.
Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps
Nike + iPod saved workouts and settings
Paired Bluetooth devices (which you can only use if restored to the same phone that did the backup)
Saved suggestion corrections
Trusted hosts that have certificates that can't be verified

When version 17 was installed, a message briefly displayed that stated that 3 features would not be available, but I was not quick enough to note what they were. It was after that point that I started to get the “Remote XUL” error when I tried to access my email host via Firefox. I contacted my email host tech support (PureHost.com) and they were able to access my email without any problems. The tech used MS IE. I was also able to access my email with IE, but I prefer Firefox and have been using FF since vers. 2. What is “Remote XUL”, and what can I download to fix this problem without having to locate and install version 16 ?
See:

I cannot use a website I need to use, with Firefox 5.0. So, I need to uninstall and go back to 3.5 or 3.6. Please advise. Also, my control panel locks up since Windows Explorer has pbms. Which is why I am using Firefox instead. Thanks for any help!
''I figured it was going to be FAFSA causing your problem.''
Install Portable Firefox 3.6.x to your hard drive for that one website. It won't affect your current Firefox installation at all. <br />

With the new io5 on safari how do you get back to top of the page quickly?
Same way as before - click on the top. But the area to click seems to be slightly lower ... aim for the touch of the grey and black instead of the black.

You can't, Anh. That's what people are telling you. At this time there's no way to get out of recovery mode. You're playing around with beta software and this is what you get.
Tell your "developer friend" he needs to talk to other developers to see if this can be fixed, or have him replace your devices that you should never have let him play with to begin with. -
when i used to open my tabs it would show my top sites, now it just goes straight to yahoo, which is awful, can someone tell me how to change it back?
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit. -
I'm unable to use Fiverr.com with Firefox. Last year I was able to order Fiverr gigs and send messages but for the last 3 weeks I've been unable to do either. I can login to Fiverr but I'm unable to use the service.
I'm using Windows 7.Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

When building a web site, how do I set up a blank browser page that I can pull html & css files into.
David's book is a good place to start. This is really far more involved that can be covered in this forum. You'll need to get familiar with a database, most likely MySQL, PHP, how to send requests tot he database - queries - and most likely maintain a state with Sessions. As you can see, it's a bit involved. The good news is this skills you'll acquire to do this will go a long way! It will cover all the basic requirements of web application development.
Dive in, and have fun!

Firefox 29 sucks! There was NO REASON to change it. Now, I have to use IE! I hate IE!
Firefox 29 sucks! There was NO REASON to change it. Now, I have to use IE! I hate IE! It's slow , it crashes and does not work with Hotmail.
This is the next worst thing to happen since Outlook took over Hotmail.You don't provide enough information. What's actually going on with Firefox?
Also, Outlook wasn't "taken over" by Hotmail, it was rebranded

I upgraded from elements 10 to 13 today. When PSE 13 was installed, I uninstalled PSE 10. I also own Lightroom 4.4. However, I used to be able to switch from LR4, to PSE 10 now I cannot switch to PSE 13. (Photo>Edit In>Edit in Photoshop) is grey. Why?
You might also ask for help in the Lightroom forum.
What I have found is that when I upgraded from PSE12 to 13, my Lightroom 5.6 still selected PSE12 in the list of external editors. I had to use the preferences menu to select the right PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Program Files/Adobe/Photoshop Elements 13 folder. I got a message stating that Photoshop Elements was already selected as external editor. In that message box, there is a button with the option to 'change anyway', which I did. Now LR correctly opens PSE13 when I choose Edit in Elements. -
Photosmart 7520 Scan software access disappeared when Windows 10 was installed.
Under Win 8.1 I would click in the printer desktop icon to select the connect 7520 printer. Three optins would be displayed and I would selec the middle one for scanning. Now that icon wants to setup the printer for WiFi usage, install printer to a USB port or come back later - no scan options. What do I needed to do?
