No matter what you type in the browser it takes you to amazon

You can type anything in the mozilla browser and it only takes you to amazon.com. I know this is something that I did, I just need to know how to fix it so it will stop.

hello fuskiegirl21, does it change when you install the search reset addon from https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ ?

  • Get "new tab" no matter what I type into the address

    Connections says I'm connected. I have reset Firefox. I have reset modem. I have reset network connection. I have compared all the internet and Firefox settings on my desktop to the ones on my laptop (the laptop works, the desktop doesn't). When I open Firefox it opens a new tab. I hit the "home" icon which I have set to www.my.yahoo.com. It says connecting but always comes back with "New Tab" and nothing in the body of the tab. I have tried many of my bookmarks. Same result.... "New Tab" with nothing in the window. Troubleshooting doesn't find anything wrong and, of course, wants me to use the internet to get more answers which I can't do. Internet Explorer doesn't work either.

    A few other things to check:
    (1) In case the problem is connection settings, try making this change in Firefox:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
    Change to "No proxy" and see whether that makes any difference.
    (2) In case it's a firewall issue, please see: [[Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet]].
    (3) In case it's a malware problem, you could download some of the tools listed in our support article onto a USB flash drive using your laptop: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

  • Junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. any way help?

    junked old macbook for a new one. changed apple id password from a different mac. i want to login and it asks for name and password. no matter what i type i cant seem to login. why cant i just enter my apple id and password. or is there a way to change whatever name and password are on the new one from another mac so i can login. anything helps...thanks

    Just open System Preferences>Users & Groups and unlock the preference pane with your root password.
    Set the New Account to be an Administrator and fill in the rest of the data and then click "Create User".
    I would suggest using this user to be YOU with admin capabilities. I wouldn't use the root user - too much damage could occur if you're not sure what you're doing. If you have files, etc., that you want to move to this account, simply but them in the Shared folder - or if you 'rescued' some old files and the like from your 'trashed' MBP, you can put them in your NEW admin account folders.
    Hope I've explained myself well - call back with any questions!

  • When i type into the browser search bar, the text t y p e s .... v e r y s l o w l y

    First and foremost, I have used several virus searches and nothing shows up. However, regularly, when I go to type in the browser Go To bar, to go to a new URL, the font will often stop and wait, sometimes up to 10 seconds PER character

    Download OnyX and run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=eaeb705a394731049962b7ec35ed070f . Many have found that using OnyX can help with performance. Of course you should have any important data backed up before using any disk maintenance program.
    Also, how much free disk space do you have? If less than 10%, the system will really slow down.

  • Just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up.  the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if the settings are wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.

    just got an Ipad and am working on setting it up.  the one issue I am having with it is my screen will not rotate no matter what I do to the settings, I can't figure out if I have a setting wrong or if there really is something wrong with my Ipad.  any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Double click the home button (square)  and all the things you did are there.keep sliding the bar that will come up on the bottom to the left till it cant go anymore there should be a icon looking like this.press that and it should work
    Good luck hope it works.

  • Does it actualy matter what you have on your remote server for services-config.xml

    Hi there, does it actualy matter what you have on your remote server for services-config.xml ?
    Does the information not just get baked into the flex 3 app at compile time on my local computer?

    I don't think this is right!
    If you don't have any config file, you can set up a remote object. The config file handles the default settings.
    If you implement something like
        <mx:RemoteObject id="myService"
            destination="amf"
            source="remoteServiceName"
            endpoint="http://myDomain/amfphp/gateway.php"
            fault="handleFault(event)">
            <mx:method name="test" result="handleResult(event)"/>
        </mx:RemoteObject>
    it will work!

  • What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

    What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

    Thank you Menneisyys.
    By transcription I mean being able to take what was said in the interview and have those words converted into written text. So I think your second option's a bit closer to what I was looking for.
    The inelegant solution would be to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking software, load it up on another computer, stand my i-pad next to it, and have the words transcribed that way - an analog approach, as it were.
    O course, I could just spend the next several hours tying up the interview, which is something I kinda hope to avoid.
    Thanks again - Jim

  • With installation of 10.1 I lost finder search function. The finder window appears, but no matter what I put in the search window, nothing is found. I re-installed it with initial success, but it failed again very soon.

    Hey Reoh, 
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities. 
    If searching for files in Finder doesn't return any results, try using the steps in this article to reindex the Spotlight search index of your MacBook Pro hard drive:

  • On a website clicking on highlighted text in blue, the browser should take you to info on that subject. My Firefox opens a blank page and says "search history and bookmarks." How can I make it go to the info highlighted in blue text? Ver 3.6.15

    Usually the browser will take the user to info pages when a click on blue text is done. My browser just opens a blank page and has "search history and bookmarks and then just sits there. I can change that so it will do nothing and the message is "type a web address". It used to work fine. How can I fix this.

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

  • Can't type in the browser address bar

    everytime i upgrade firefox now i lose a bit more functionality... before when i opened a new tab i had to click the google homepage button in order to type in the browser address bar.. now i upgraded again and can't type in the google bar or the address bar at all.. the only reason i got to this page with firefox is because it was my homepage..
    i hate to not use firefox as i love it.. but chrome is starting to look better. :(

    Thanks for this.
    Only problem I have no "org.mozilla.firefox.plist" file that I can find (I can find a whole bunch of others relating to other software), nothing for Firefox.
    Add to my whoes the fact I even tried re-setting my Firefox installation.
    All that gave me was a much worse version of Firefox without all my add-ons and the same bloody problem with it still not recognising any keyboard input.
    Also add the fact it's taken half a day to re-build Firefox to the point I had it before from various backups (thank the gods for FEBE).
    so i now have a re-constituted version of Firefox (still re-building Speedial) with the same problem.
    I solved the same problem with IE (yea I have almost browsers on my machine as I am a developer), by re-installing Java.
    Hey ho, onwards we go.

  • Just purchased an Iphone and downloaded Itunes on my desktop...now no matter what i am doing the Itunes stores keeps opening up, anyone know how I can fix this

    I just purchased an Iphone 4S and downloaded Itunes on my desktop.  Now no matter what i am doing the Itunes keeps opening open.  Anyone know how to make this stop?

    actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.

  • How do I stop the browser from appending anything whatsoever to what I type into the location bar?

    I want a strict WYSIWYG location bar - no prefixes or suffixes, ie, do put http:// in front or www. or put anything after. Do not change or add anything to what I type. PERIOD.

    Dear Cor-el,
    I want a browser without training wheels .... please. If you are less than 45 years old, then I was programming computers before you were born --- in assembly language. What I want is to be able to supply an access protocol as and where needed as I see fit - i.e., I want FF to do is absolutely NOTHING.
    Think "command line" - if what I type is wrong then it FAILS ....and maybe I get a useful error message and maybe not. And this is not only OK but it useful and wanted by a technically proficient segment of FF's user base.
    Please pardon me, but if you are a logician or programmer or Buddist then you realize that the NULL set is an absolutely valid answer and that it might well be the very answer that I am looking for. If I execute a Boolean conjunctive query what I DO NOT WANT is a bunch of crap-ola served up to me by Google/Microsoft/whoever it is that feels absolutely compelled to return something and/or anything because I /might be a newbe-might be turned off -might not buy their product/ .

  • After installing itunes every icon on my screen becomes an itunes icon and no matter what you hit only the itunes page appears.

    I have a Dell 570 PC.  I use internet explorer and Yahoo.  When I finish installing iTunes every icon on my screen becomes an iTunes icon. No matter what icon I hit only the iTunes page appears.  Help

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your MacBook already comes with iTunes. What iTunes is telling you is probably to update it to the most recent version, so open  > Software Update, and install the most recent iTunes version, in this case, 11.0.4.
    Enjoy your new MacBook Pro

  • Determening type of the browser with JSP

    Is there a way to determine type and version of the browser with JSP?
    I need to determine if the borowser is IE 5.5 or IE 6.0
    Thanks

    String fileName ="c:/test1.pdf";
      File file = new File(fileName);
       if(!file.exists())
         return;
      // If JSP
      String mimeType = application.getMimeType(fileName);
           If you are using servlet
           String mimeType = this.getServletContext().getMimeType(fileName);
         response.setContentType(mimeType);  
         response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","inline;filename=\\"+fileName+"\\");
      BufferedOutputStream out1 = null;
      InputStream in = null;
      if(mimeType == null)
         mimeType = "application/octet-stream";
      try{
         in = new FileInputStream(f);
         response.setContentLength(in.available());
         BufferedOutputStream out1 = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(),1024);
         int size = 0;
         byte[] b = new byte[1024];
         while ((size = in.read(b, 0, 1024)) > 0)
            out1.write(b, 0, size);
      }catch(Exception exp){
      }finally{
          if(out1 != null){
             try{
                out1.flush();               
                out1.close();
             }catch(Exception e){}
          if(in != null){
            try{in.close();}catch(Exception e){}
      } this is what either your JSP/SERVLET/Backing Bean is supposed to do.
    please try to restructure your code as per it.
    Hope that might help :)
