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.

Firefox give me a blank white screen when i open it and when i type in an address in the search bar it just say new tab on the top left hand corner and its cont. to be a blank white page. IDK?

Even though its the 1st window that opens. when i type a website in the search bar it regristers but it just goes to the blank white screen w the new tab phase. i tried to open some of my bookmark sites and still the same thing.. a blank all white page. ive tried re-download the fire fox 6.0 then i deleted my current firefix then re-downloaded it again.. still nothing :(. im currently usaing my interner explore to write this and search the net.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. 
'''Note''': ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions and some Preferences.''
*Open websites will not be saved in Firefox versions lower than 25.
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Opening search bar results in a new tab

My search bar opens the results in a new tab, but, when I click on one of the links on the results page, FF no longer remembers the search results page (ie. the Back button does not work). This problem goes away if I set the search bar results to open in the current tab (about:config > browser.search.openintab > default). Please tell me how to get the back button.

Hi,
You can try to set the value '''browser.search.context.loadInBackground''' to true in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config].

I'm trying to remove the searchbar from the menu and the conventional techniques aren't working, are thereany other ways to remove the search bar?

I'm trying to remove the search bar from the menu, but when I try it removes the navigation bar as well. Mozilla's help page shows there being a button to remove in the customize menu section, but it's not here so is there any other way to remove the search bar?

Hi Ashley Clavette,
The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what exactly happens ? Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

Removing the search bar whilst keeping the address bar?

I've been using Firefox but since updating to SL I'm wanting to go back to Safari. In previous versions I would remove the search bar and keep the address bar, (as I do in all browsers because I don't use the search bar, instead I search via keywords in the address bar), but that doesn't seem to be possible any more.
Why has Apple decided to join the two bars together!? It's random and really annoying.
Is there any way I can get rid of the search bar but keep the address bar?

It's hard to please everyone. Apple are obviously more than happy with the interface of Safari 4 at the moment and that is reflected in the millions upon millions of downloads of it, both for OSX and for Windows. These forums only represent issues from a very miniscule percentage of users who are having some issue or dislike some aspect of the software. You will find very few positive comments here as it is a troubleshooting and support forum. This is the first time I have heard anybody complain about this feature (or lack of) so it may well pay to send it through to Apple via the Bug reporter up in your right top corner of the browser.
Cheers

HOW CAN I REMOVE "ASK" SEARCH BAR AND GET BACK FIREFOX SEARCH BAR?

for last few dyas, when i click on firefox icon, i get the "ASK" search bar. i want to remove 'ASK' search bar, and get back firefox search bar

If this is the Ask.com toolbar, you can remove it by following these instructions: '''[http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4 How do I uninstall the Toolbar?]'''
You may also be able to '''[[Uninstalling add-ons|disable or uninstall the add-on using the Firefox add-on manager]]'''.

When opening a new window, it automatically loads last pop-up (?) content and I am unable to type in address bar or open a new tab in the new window.

I don't know if they're technically pop-up windows (for example, if you do a search on kayak.com, it will automatically open a new priceline.com window with the results of the search), but this happens with pop-up blocker on or off. Other examples are a small info window from a financial or .edu site that opens up saying a session is about to expire, or answering an FAQ (with the exception of the priceline example, these windows don't have an address bar or display a URL). Anyway, after these windows are closed, if I try to open a new window, it will automatically load the content of that "pop-up". Whenever it does this, I am unable to type in the address bar or open a new tab in that window.
How do I fix this? All I want is to open a new window that's blank, not load prior content.

It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
there for. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
'''Windows > Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.'''
'''(Mac: Open the "Applications" folder)'''
Go thru the list and use a web search to check any that you don't
know what they are.

Software? See if you can get it removed with some anti-malware tools. Spybot, AVG, Kapersky, et cetera...
If you know the name of the program, you could search the registry for any instance of that name and --be CAREFUL--delete them.
And I have to ask: Did you go back to Firefox after uninstalling this program and reset the "when I open a new tab..." setting? What about your home page?

When I open a bookmark in the bookmarks toolbar, it opens in a side bar instead of a new tab. How do I change this?

When I open a bookmark from the bookmarks toolbar, it opens in a side bar instead of a new tab or window. How do I change this to open a new tab?

Right-click on the bookmark and select Properties. De-select the setting "Load this bookmark in the sidebar"

I can't open a New Tab. Neither by clicking the + on the Tab bar, nor by File New Tab (or Ctrl+T).

When I open Firefox, I can see the homepage. When I try to open a new tab, I can't neither by clicking the + on the Tab bar, nor by File>New Tab. However, if I press a link in my home page, it opens in a new tab. ???

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
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

How do I get a Vista 64 bit XP machine to show a "+" icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" and the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar?

I have Firefox 4.0.1 installed on two laptops, one with Windows Vista, 64 bit and the other with Windows XP. Both machines have the "Open a new tab" icon on the far right of the Bookmarks tool bar. The XP machine also has a + icon on the tab bar to "Open a new tab" while the Vista machine does not have that + icon. I like using that; is there any way to get it on the Vista machine?

After weeks of trying, I stumbled on the solution:
# Right-click on an empty section of the Tab Strip, select Customize... and the Customize Toolbar window will open.
# At the bottom of the Customize Toolbar window, there are additional options for changing the appearance of the icons in your toolbars. From the Show drop-down menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars — Icons, Text, or Icons and Text together. By default, Firefox just shows Icons.
# Select Icons and Text
# When you are finished making changes, click Done to close the Customize Toolbar window.

New tabs are not updating the names of the sites they have loaded. When I open a new tab and load a site, the tab simply stays named "New Tab". When I open a link in a new window, it shows "Connecting..." even while its fully loaded.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
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.

How to remove the search bar from new tab page?

I've added extra pinned site rows and columns on the new tab page.
The new search bar is redundant and space hogging.
Please provide how to disable in step by step instructions :)
Edit:
Answer
1. Go to Firefox Profile Folder (go to about:support in Firefox then click Open folder/Show in Finder to get there)
2. Open or create the chrome folder in the Firefox Profile Folder.
3. Create a blank text file, copy and paste this code into the text file.
@-moz-document url(about:newtab)
#newtab-search-container, #newtab-search-logo { display:none !important; }
#newtab-margin-top, #newtab-search-container { display:none!important; }
4. Save it as userContent.css (using ALL FILES under the drop down menu)
5. Place the new css file into the chrome folder.

Fox_1923: You're not supposed to create a new chrome file but a userContent.css file in the chrome folder.
You can use mine and cor-el's code together in the userContent.css file to get rid of the large margin in the top along with the search box. I've used it just fine in the latest Nightly and so have others who dislike the search box.
One thing you could be doing wrong is not setting the file type to all Files and Notepad or whatever else you are using is adding an unneeded extension (for Windows, .txt = userContent.css.txt doesn't work!)
See this for clarification:
