Now I'm using Yahoo mail as my homepage, but I want to use Firefox as my homepage..

Now I am using Yahoo.mail as my homepage. But I want to use Firefox as my homepage. Would you teach me how to do that?
I am not a computer savy, so would you write the process step by step, please?

I'm assuming you're using Firefox 4.x, if so:
Click the orange Firefox button on the top left
Click Options in the right pane of the menu that comes up
Click the general button in the window that pops up (looks like a switch)
You will see a white line for text entry labelled Home Page:
Paste this there: http://www.google.com/firefox

  • IOS 6 Firewall temp Fix but now can't get YAHOO mail ***?

    I spent 1.5 hours last night at the "Genius Bar", only for them to tell me that the issue with a firewall for the wifi wasn't an issue seeing as i just upgraded to ios 6, so got 2 new replacement phones to "fix the problem".  I got back into our secure network only to find the issue still existed.  This AM we removed the password on our firewall but kept WEP key in place.  We can't track usage untill Apple come up with a fix that worked just as well as IOS 5.
    However after re organising all my email accounts, i can now no longer get my YAHOO mail.  Keeps asking for the password even though i input the correct PW.
    Ideas welcome people! 
    PS.... lets go apple, love your stuff but you have tech friendly people that can't do what they are asked to do.....  Hmm here's an idea, maybe keep it longer in BETA????

    All we asked for is the phone to function as it should. Not a big ask to have it work as it would on previous operating software. This may not apply to you unless you were in the similar situation.

  • I receive Yahoo mail on Edge network but can't reply...

    Hi,
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    As my subject line states, I get all my Yahoo mail from 2 different Yahoo accounts just fine but cannot reply on the edge network. If I have a WiFi signal I can.
    The error I get says "Cannot Send Mail" "The connection to the outgoig server "(null)" failed.
    Any ideas?

    Hello HMoorhouse,
    You were correct in attempting to edit the SMTP settings. SMTP is the server that allows outgoing mail. I would recommend deleting the mail account as a whole and restarting.
    Once the device has been restarted, got to Settings>Mail, Contacts, and Calandars
    When in "Mail, Contacts, and Calandars" hit Add Account.
    You will have mutiple options so you want to select "Other".
    Now you need your server settings for both the incoming and outgoing mail server.
    If you enter this exactly how your provider gives them to you, it should work. Make sure you know if it is pop or imap, the port number, in incoming and outgoing servers, use SSL on/off and use authentication on/off etc.
    If you have all the correct settings accoridng to the provider you may want to restore the phone then try again. Restoring the phone will factor out any Apple software issues.
    If you ahve questions let me know.
    Best Regards,
    Jordan Park

  • Dropbox attachment sync with yahoo mail works in Chrome but not firefox.

    In the beginning on April 2013, Yahoo mail added the feature of attaching a files straight from dropbox. This feature works fine when I select it in Google Chrome. When I select the option in Firefox it opens up the little window and has the loading wheel. It just stays at that stage forever. Where as in Chrome the dropbox window opens in 2 seconds. Is there as setting I need to change or and add on that I need to get? What's the problem?

  • I cannot get through to my yahoo mail - can log in but receive an error msg

    As above, I receive the following message when I try to login to yahoo mail. This has been a problem ever since downloading some awful program called Babylon, which was claiming to give me a TV programme download I was after. I have cleared recent cookies and history, as well as deleting it and other programs from the hard drive.
    "Not Found The requested URL /dc/launch was not found on this server. Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch Server at uk.mg40.mail.yahoo.com Port 80"
    Grateful for any help.
    Will

    I found that Babylon had changed the proxy setting. Try going to Tools/Options/Advanced/Network/Settings and select "No proxy".
    This has helped but things are still slow and I suspect that some other changes have been made to the Firefox settings.
    Installing unauthorised software on your PC should be made illegal. I will avoid Babylon forever so they have done themselves no favours by trying to be smart!

  • Windows performed an automatic update. I am now unable to use Firefox. I receive an error message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server". Windows IE works, Outlook works. What did Microsoft do to me this time?!!!

    Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..." I downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and get the same error message. IE works. MS Outlook works. What did Windows do to me this time?

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
    See "Firefox connection settings":

    Hello hobartco,
    Home sharing will, indeed, need to be set up on your Apple TV, as well.

  • I have an iPhone and i used to be on a joined account with my mom.  I am now trying to get on to my own account but i want to keep the music and apps that have already downloaded with my mom's account.  How can i do this?

    Hi my name is Scott,
    I'm trying to get my old information (apps, music) from my iphone that was previously on a different account to sync on a new account.  I just got a new macbook pro and got a new account to go with it.  Now i have tried to homeshare the accounts and drag the music over to download it onto this new account but i can't get the homesharing to work because it says the password doesn't match even though i have used the same one to log on and off of homesharing on my mom's account.  I have recently tried to back up my phone onto this new account and it asks if i want to authorize it and asks for the password for my mom's account.  I have the password but i am hesitant to authorize it with my mom's apple ID and password because i don't want her account to be on this computer.  I want it to be my own account just with my personal music from my iphone on it.  I dont know if it will just sync my iphone's information to my new account or just add my mom's apple ID account to my itunes on my computer.  What should i do to get my information from my iphone from my mom's account onto my new account? Thank you

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

    Hi nomadsjangle,
    <u>'''Short answer,'''</u> downgrade to Flash 10.3, Firefox should then work ok, and hopefully RealPlayer will be fully functional.<br/>For instructions see [[flash 11.3 crashes]]
    Sorry you are having problems. I am not sure why you decided to blame Firerfox for this problem.
    If you pay for and install RealPlayer why do you blame Firefox when you need to uninstall it to play video ? Why not blame RealPlayer, FlashPlayer, or even another browser!
    This is a known issue and developers from Firefox, Flash and Realplayer have been involved with this for a few weeks. There have been a few changes in that time but no full solution that suits everyone is available, or likely in the immediate future AFAIK.
    I suspect your problem is due to the fact that FlashPlayer 11.3 introduced a security feature known as ''protected mode''. (Flash 11.3 may also have other issues with Firefox) RealPlayer (certainly the versions current when Flash11.3 was released) has problems with this. Real player is or was causing problems with use of Flash to view videos on Firefox with Flash 11.3.
    Note FlashPlayer will be installed on the Operating System as a plugin, and may be used by more than one browser (although it needs different software for IE).
    Downgrade Flash to 10.3 then if you still have problems post back, confirm the Flash Player version you have now,and the RealPlayer version.
    Note
    * if you use the Adobe uninstaller you may need to reinstall FlashPlayer on IE
    * take care not to follow advice from plugincheck FlashPlayer etc to upgrade to the latest version, until this issue is resolved.
    * this is a temporary solution, you should upgrade again once this is resolved.

  • Yahoo mail remebers my password but not the user name. I've checked the remember box.

    I've checked the remember box but Firefox is remembering the password but is not remembering the user name when I sign in to my email account. I'm not having sign in trouble with IE nor am I having trouble signing in on my laptop with either Firefox or IE, so the problem would seem to be with this computer.

    * Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
    * Create an allow cookie exception (Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: Exceptions) to keep such a cookie, especially for secure websites and if cookies expire when Firefox is closed.
    * In [[Private Browsing]] mode all cookies are session cookies that expire if that session is ended, so websites won't remember you.
    * You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    * To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
    * Uncheck: [ ] "Automatically start Firefox in a private browsing session"
    * Do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the "Cookies" and the "Site Preferences"
    Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, and password exceptions.

  • Firefox 4 won't open because it says it is not supported by the current architecture. Now I cannot use Firefox at all.

    I followed the advice and instructions to download Firefox 4 and once I moved it to the applications folder, a slash went through the icon and now it tells me that I cannot open Firefox because it is not supported by the architecture. Don't know what to do next.

    I suspect you need more expert help but here are a few things you can try.
    If you can't open Firefox(double click on Firefox desktop icon) try Safe Mode - Hold down the Shift Key as you double click on the icon>don't check anything on the page that opens>continue. If Firefox opens and works in this safe mode go to Add-ons> Extensions and look for "Ask". Then look at Add-ons >Plug-ins and again look for "Ask" . Remove, delete,disable any Asks. If you do remove any, close Firefox. And try again in Normal Mode.
    The Ask website has detailed instructions for removal but you need to find it on your computer and have your computer in working order.
    If there is no sign of Ask and Firefox is working well in Safe Mode you should work your way through this -
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting%20extensions%20and%20themes
    Eventually you might need to grapple with About:Config and even your Windows Registry but I would recommend a complete uninstall and re-install before that. Unfortunately that often doesn't work.
    That all sounds very daunting but taken step-by-step you might get lucky early.

  • I can open my yahoo mail in internet explorer but I canot open in mozill firefox why?

    give me error 404

    Hello,
    Try '''Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    (If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
    You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled... '''menu item while Firefox is running.
    Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"
    '''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems] article for that.
    To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.
    Thank you.
