Restore FF 15 to original settings without reinstalling.

How to restore firefox 15.0.1 to original settings without having to reinstall.
It seems as if FF has been infected with something. Cannot use Google search, click on any links on the results page it always takes me to an ad for revlon make-up.

  • How can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without doing the restore through iTunes? He can't remember his passcode and when I try to restore through iTunes it never completes the update/restore without timing out?!?!

    HOw can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without going through iTunes restore? When I plug into iTunes it will never complete the update/restore without timing out? He can't remember his password. I can't get my iTunes to update to the newest level either without timing out. Please help!

    The thread title differs from the original post, sorry for the confusion.  I read password instead of passcode.
    The only way past a passcode lock is by entering the passcode.  Refer to HT1212 iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    As for timing out during the restore...
    If there isn't any antivirus or firewalls in the way, I would try restoring from a different user account or even a different computer.  If still unable to restore without timing out, I would try a different network.

  • My iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this,  I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first.

    my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this,  I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.

    Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
    1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
    2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup

  • How do you restore your macbook to original settings?

    how do you restore your macbook to original settings?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    If you upgraded from an earlier version of OS X such as Snow Leopard, the procedure you want is not this one. Let me know.

    Thanks for the info. I went here earlier, and it didn't help. It seems that the Firefox profile I am using is only the one created today when I reconnected with the browser, and no old one seems available. It's history in all the compartments I go to are all today.

    how do you restore a macbook to its original settings

    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT1386 After restoring iPod to its original settings, iTunes will not sync with iPod

    I restored my iPod Nano 4th generation to original settings and now when I try to sync it with iTunes, only a few songs will transfer and I get a message saying file could not be found. Some of the songs in my iTunes library were transferrred from another computer and the files somehow did not transfer. However, even the songs I purchased recently will not sync. I have tried downloading the latest version of iTunes and restarting my iPod. Help!

  • Will restoring my iPod to "original settings" erase all of my music?

    The computer that I use for music died, and I plugged my iPod Classic (newest model) into an older computer and I got a message that said iTunes (also newest version) did not recognize my computer and suggested I restore it to the factory settings. Will this erase all of the music on my iPod?

    Yes. You will need to use 3rd party software to pull music off the iPod, if recoverable,before you do a factory restore. I personally recommend iGadget (for PCs).

  • How do I restore ipod to original settings without getting error 9

    Why do I keep getting an error 9 message when I'm trying to restore my ipod?

    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I want to restore my iMac to original settings. Help needed

    Alright guys.
    I am going to sell my iMac, therefore I would like to restore it to factory settings. However I have lost the discs that came with it.
    I have been having a look online for replacment but there are a few different options and I want to make sure that I purchase the correct version.
    I believe the model number for my Mac is MB323LL/A.
    On the online spec it says it is installed with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
    Does it have to be restored with this exact version, or is the 10.6 version ok? Also, I've seen that there are a few differnt variations of intsall disc, so I'm a little confused.
    If anyone could point me in the right direction then that would be great.
    Thanks very much

    Call Apple and request a replacement install DVD. It is part of the Mac and should be included when you sell it. They will charge a nominal fee for shipping and handling.

  • Restoring an Emac to original settings - deleting 'me' off it completely

    Hi,
    I hope someone can help me please! I have an Emac which I am giving to my friend for her job. I have all the discs with it (the original ones it came with). I have put the discs in, followed the instructions etc, BUT my stuff is still on there?! My photos, my passwords etc.
    I basically want a really easy step by step (I am VERY NON TECHNICAL!) way of getting everything cleared of the Mac so I can give it to her without my bits on there and how it was when I first bought it. Please make it very easy though, I find all this Mac stuff very confusing when it should probably be very easy!!
    PLEASE HELP ME!!

  • How can I restore a phone to factory settings without a menu or "Options"

    My daughters phone.  1 year old.  She can text and rec texts.  Call and receive calls.  Alarm clock works.  When she hits menu it is blank.  She has no Applications.  Also the hour glass spins for a minute or two before it turns on.  We went to ATT store and they suggested restoring the phone.  THat isn't an option becuase she doesn't have the "OPTIONS BUTTON" available to her.
    She called tech support thru ATT and they were not able to make any suggestions.  ANy ideas.  
    And NO she did not ever back up her phone to her computer. 
    Frustrated 50 year old father.

    Hi!
    Have you done a battery-pop reboot? It can clear some things up. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation.
    After that, you can decide if you want to to a Wipe...but one step at a time.
    Cheers!
