New tab uses babylon website as default ,how can I remove it?

Whenever I want to open a new tab, babylon search is by default my homepage just for the tab. It is a unknown website to me and I can seem to find a way to remove it . I uninstalled the tool bar that came with it but the website remains even after I restart the computer.

Go to Add-ons - move to extension and then remove babylon. I hate them too.

When I hit + to open a new tab, I always get Yahoo. How can I stop this?

When I click on the plus (+) symbol to open a new tab on the Firefox tab bar I always get the Yahoo home page and cannot get a blank tab. No matter what I do, I always get Yahoo. How do I get Yahoo to go away? Or better yet, how do I kill Yahoo?

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

Thank you for responding

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Something is hijacking my home page and changing it to MSN. I switch back to my preferred page and something switches it right back. Also putting a bing search bar in every blank new tab. I hate both. How do I remove?

The only thing I changed today was I allowed the update to Youtube HD. Now I cannot save my home page. New tabs and new sessions all are reset to MSN. Plus the annoying Bing bar pops up in every new tab. PLEASE PLEASE help me get rid of these. If I really liked MS, I wouldn't be such a Firefox fan.

An extra extension might have snuck in. These can be bundled with other software you might have installed recently.
Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if completely unwanted, remove.)
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that get rid of the extra tab?
Note: I suggest also visiting the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program, and clicking the "Installed on" column header. This should bring the most recent additions to the top and group them by install date so you can investigate how unexpected software might have been installed.

How can I remove an iCloud backup that is being used to restore a iDevice, How can I remove an iCloud backup that is being used to restore a iDevice

Hello,
I purchased a new iPhone 5S yesterday and started to use a former iPhone 4S iCloud backup to restore it but as it took 2.5Go of "others" space I decided to reset the iPhone and start from scratch.
I have now properlly restored my new iPhone and would like to remove the old iCloud backup but when I try to erase it (from iCloud submenu or my Mac's iCloud "manage account") it says that it can't be removed as it is being used to restore an iDevice. Is there a way to do that ?
Thanks in advance
Boris

If the lock only came from restore of someone else's backup, you can get rid of that by doing factory restore. That will not help you if your story is not true.

How can I set or reset the page that is loaded when I open a new tab using Ctrl t ?? by

I recently downloaded a program that has, as an undesired additional action, apprently setup Yahoo as the page that opens by default when I open a new tab using <Ctrl> <t> (or the <+> symbol on the tab bar). This is aggravating to me, particularly as I have not been able to find a way to stop it occurring.
I expect that it is buried somewhere in my profile, but I also have not found a way to explore or edit the contents of my profile.
There is a JScript script file called "user" in ...\profiles\4g4vpust.default that I suspect is associated with the behaviour, but renaming it achieved nothing.
Prior to this, my new tabs used to open as blank pages, i.e. did not load any URL and I was happy with that. How can I get back to that state?

Did it add the freeze net assistant add-on? That add-on is known to do this. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it Firefox should revert to the default behavior.
If you do not have that add-on, another add-on will be causing this, you can use the procedure in the following link to identify what one - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

When I choose to open a new tab from a website, such as facebook, it always opens it in a new window. How do I change this to just opening a new tab. I tried changing the tab settings but it did not work. I did not have the problem until I started using firefox 4.

It is probably a JavaScript link.
You can probably force it where you want it with a keyboard shortcut
either "Ctrl+click" or "Ctrl+Shift+click". see
* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table) http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm
''Did that work?''

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Uninstall that extension.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

I can't open a new tab using Ctrl+T or by clicking on the + symbol. I can, however, open a new tab when holding down Ctrl and clicking on a link. How can I fix this please?

I used to be able to open a new tab using Ctrl+T but that has stopped working. Having I accidentally changed something?

Disable the Ask Toolbar.

Open bookmark in a new tab using mouse only - how?

Is there a way you can open a bookmarked page in a new tab using your mouse only? Like pressing the middle mouse button in FireFox. I don't like using an extra button on the keyboard to do this, or opening a new, empty tab first and then clicking on a bookmark.

okay, now this thread can die once again
LOL
you can right-click (open in new tab) on bookmarks in your collections page, even those in folders. just can't do this from the bookmarks bar.
Yes, you're right, you can. (And you can Command-click to immediately open in a new tab - quicker and easier than right-clicking and then choosing a menu item, in my opinion.) I thought of mentioning that earlier, but it was clear to me that Rosalba is looking for a way to open a bookmark in the Bookmarks Menu in a new tab without any additional steps, whether opening the bookmarks collection in a new window first, opening a new tab first, etc.
Regardless, we have at least gone over what you can do in this thread.

Remember security on a TC is an illusion.
Simply press the reset button for 1-2 sec.. you must not do too long .. it will then hard reset.. but soft reset will revert all passwords to default for 5min. ie TC password is now public.
Remember this the next time because anybody at all can change your passwords.
Once into the TC you can then open the view passwords if you wanted any weaker security. Click and open the TC.. and click on edit.. then go to the top menu..
Voila .. all your passwords in plain sight to any Tom Dick and Fred.
