No "sign in" option shown on updated home screen, what now ?

Recent microsoft updates stopped Firefox on my computer,(error 404) but I managed to find a way to update it, but I now have a firefox screen with google as my search engine, but there is no place on the home screen that allows me to sign in to my google account.
How do I resolve this, please.
Basic instructions would be appreciated, as I am not very computer savvy.

Maybe it's Firefox's built-in home page? On that page, the address bar doesn't show an address, just the phrase ''Search or enter address''. Although the page shows a search box linked to Google, it isn't a Google page.
If you go to Google's home page and it has the controls you want, you can make that your home page. These articles have more information on how:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
If that doesn't work or doesn't stick, you might have an add-on or external program that is overriding your preference. Please post back for more help on that.

    Try closing out of Recently Used Apps.  To do this, double click the Home button to bring up the list of Apps.  Then tap your finger over one of them and then tap the red minus sign that appears in the upper right corner of each to remove them.
    If that doesn't resolve the issue, try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
    If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
    You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
    To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
    Type in
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
    rm /var/audit/current
    Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
    If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.

  • Is there ever going to be a option to change the home screen?

    Before I was lucky enough to get an iPhone, which has been a while now I had a blackberry. The one thing I miss about it is the option to have different themes, for example the today theme that listed all of your events in your calendar on the home screen. It wa very convient for my job and schooling, I was just curious if there was any rumors or changes that can be made to make it possible?!

    It's this option (or lack of) that is really keeping me from making the step to get an iPhone. It is extremely important to have the next upcoming appointments on the front screen for my business. I've been a Mac user since the 1980's and find it disappointing no one can build a theme that puts "next upcoming events" on the front of the main theme of the iPhone. I'd build one myself, but I'm a user not a programmer. I guess Blackberry's do a couple of things right.

  • Several times over the last few days while on safari my iPad spontaneously shuts off screen goes dark then goes to home screen what's going on and how do I fix it when I look at settings diagnostics it says that there is low memory ?

    Safari crashes several times while on pinterest, screen goes black then goes to home screen when I start safari again it keeps doing the same thing.  I checked the diagnostics page and there are several references stating low memory yet when I check the memory on the iPad there is plenty of memory  help please

    The memory that is low is the processor memory, not the overall storage space.  Next time, before you go to that site, double tap the home button to see the task bar.  You will see the list of apps siting in the recently used list.  Most of them are not doing anything, but some of them are using up memory.  Touch and hold any one of them until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the minus sign.
    Do that every so often to help the pad use it's memory wisely.
    Some apps, and browser pages use a lot of memory, and do not give it back easily, causing what sis happening to you.
    You can also get a similar result by rebooting.  Press and hold the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.

  • 10.6.8 update sends mini mac into panic screen what now?

    After update mini mac is now a brick
    Unable to safe boot or use any key commands
    So is it time to reinstall software?

    If you put the software install dvd in you should be able to boot to it and at least try to run a repair disk or repair permissions. You could also try and boot to the AHT apple hardware test cd.
    I would not reinstall just yet.

  • I have a iphone4 and I cannot go on my messages or my settings otherwise it crashes or sends me back to the home screen, what do I do?

    I am having a big problem with my iphone as it is only allowing me to go on certain apps, I cannot get onto my settings or messages because if I do it crashes or sends me back to the home screen, I've had this problem for a while and have tried almost everything, can anyone help me please?.

    Quit Safari and reset the iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • A app has dissapear of the home screen what do i do

    An app has disappear off my home screen i tried to download it again then it open up as i still have it ?

    Hello Tertia,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to locate an app on my iPhone.  It sounds like you can open the app when you view your purchased items in the iTunes Store, so it sounds like it's still on your iPhone. 
    I recommend searching for the app on your iPhone using the steps below.  If the app is in a folder, you will see the folder name to the right of the app in the search results:
    Search iPhone. Drag down the middle of any Home screen to reveal the search field. Results occur as you type; to hide the keyboard and see more results on the screen, tap Search. Tap an item in the list to open it.
    You can also use Spotlight Search to find and open apps.
