On searching on the Firefox page, with Google, my first 3 results turn into French after 1 second.
Can I stop this annoying thing that has only just started, please?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

when clicking firefox icon to open the internet, all that appears are the options along the top of the page. the rest of the screen does not appear revealing the desktop picture. The firefox page with the search bar does not appear.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/214/screenshot20120303at155.png/'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>

If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''

I keep getting the Firefox start page with Google search. How do I get my homepage back?
When I click the Mozilla Firefox icon, instead of my homepage I get a starter page with Google search. How can I get rid of the starter page and get my homepage back?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started about a week and a half ago.Hello Linda.
I fear your problem may be deeper than your homepage gone missing, but you can change your homepage easily by going into Tools > Options > General and entering the address you want in the "Home Page" field.
I should warn you, however, that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment is outdated and is no longer supported. Please install the latest version for maximum speed, security and functionality. It's completely free, as always. You can get it through Firefox update service (Help > Check for updates...) or at www.getfirefox.com -
How can I change the default Google search engine in Firefox 8 from google.fr to google.co.uk? Yes, I live in France with a French ISP, but English is my mother tongue and I want UK based responses.

The problem is with Google search in FF 5.0.
The problem is with Google search in FF 5.0. Everything was fine until I upgraded to FF 5.0. Now, I enter a text and search, I get results, no problem so far. Then, I want to edit the search text slightly to fine tune, so I click in the search bar, that is it, the original search text that was still there in the bar just disappears. I tried this with IE, it works fine, problem is only with FF. Any suggestions?
The Operator said i go to the "premium" site, on which a sepparate billing of traffic,several times more expensive than usual. it happens only when i use google search in safari. When i open the same site in the browser without using google search, traffic is billed according to tariff

I've performed all the fixes multiple times, and I keep getting this error. I don't get the error on the same page with either IE or Chrome. Sorry to say, Chrome is now my default browser...
Does it mention the name of the script or its chrome protocol URI?
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

Every time I start Firefox, the upgrade/signup page is displayed in one tab while google, my start-up page is displayed in another. How can I stop the firefox page from loading every time?

I clicked on the firefox update & lost my old firefox page with my aol start & quick pick tool bar & this "new" page takes up more space so when I click on a different subject, I have LESS space to view it. . Why, WHY must you people always mess with things that were just fine. . I cannot eeven restore my computer to an earlier time, NOPE, won't do it. . So now what do I do ? ? Pete . . . God Bless . . . . I WANT MY PREVIOUS SETTINGS BACK ! ! ! ! !
The problem is with the page that opens at startup?
What does the new page look like? Can you paste the address into a reply?
Or if it doesn't have an address, maybe it's a page created by an add-on. Can you see any indication of the source of the page? Perhaps you could post a screen shot of what it looks like. This article has tips on that (make sure to delete to cover anything confidential): [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
To reduce content size, try the zoom feature: hold down the Ctrl key and tap the - key once or twice. If you want to reset the page to the standard size, you can hold down Ctrl and tap the 0 key once (zero).
But really we should get you back to the page you prefer, and hopefully with the additional details I requested we will be able to figure out what needs to get changed so you can do that. -
When I open the kindle app on iPad 2 I have to search for the correct page. Does anyone else have this problem?
Well, I did a search on apple.com and found this:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-news/2010/04/the-hidden-itunes-visualizer-con trols.html
"The Visualizer -- graphics that swoop and pulse with the music -- has been part of iTunes' DNA from the beginning. And because its creators wanted to interact with the graphics in real time as well as watch them, Visualizer includes some single keystroke commands that change what you see while it runs. But these commands are hidden by default lest they obstruct the graphics.
Use the Show/Hide Visualizer command in the View menu to turn Visualizer on and off, and use the Visualizer menu to select among the choices. If the choice you're using has hidden commands you can see them for a brief time by typing ? while a song is playing and Visualizer is visible. The keystrokes will work regardless of whether the help menu is showing, so if you memorize them it's possible to add Virtuoso Visualizer Player to your list of accomplishments. (For the Visualizer choice called Jelly, available only in iTunes for Mac, try holding the keys down, especially the number keys, for maximum effect.")
Not that you care. >.< -

my macbook pro running lion will not boot . it stays on the grey page with the cog spinning. I have tried all methods of booting to no avail. I have removed the bottom and taken out the battery and the ram . will this affect my applecare warranty. I had to try myself as I'm overseas for two months and nowhere near any sort of help .
there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up. Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests. But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum. there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc. -
How Do I Sort a Group of Photos on the Same Page with the same Keyword Tag?
I want to group similar photos on the same page with the same keyword tag. I have tried dragging and dropping without any success. Can anyone help?
Create an album, then search using a keyword. Select all the photos produced by the search and drag them into the album.
You can drag photos into any order in Albums and they remain in your chosen order.

If that doesn't help try running in Firefox Safe mode, and for goodness sakes don't checkmark any of the items when you do start in Safe Mode.

The internet pages don't display properly I'm using osx10.3.3, yahoo for example asks me to update, but I cant find out how, as the apple store just keeps sending back to the same page with no down load option...do i need to up date or is it just my mac
What Mac model do you have? You might be able to upgrade the OS to Tiger 10.4 or Leopard 10.5.
Even browsers for Tiger 10.4 will get the update message.
You could try a newer browser than Safari, which is obsolete, by downloading Firefox v2.0.0.20 at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/firefox.php
