Start page changes and settings changed every time firefox is turned on goes back to normal setting

I have down loaded firefox several times and it wont keep the options i select in options, the home page goes to snap do whenever firefox is restarted

hello stevestella, if your manual changes don't 'stick' after a restart of the browser, please look out for any suspicious extensions (like 3rd-party-toolbars or things you have not installed intentionally) presently installed under '''firefox/tools > addons > extensions''' or the programs section of the windows control panel and remove those entries.
in case this doesn't solve the issue please try this: go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information > profile folder - "show folder", then a new window will open up. in this window look out for a file named '''user.js''' (it might be used to overwrite your custom settings). in case it is present , delete or rename this file and restart firefox afterwards.

  • I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" every time Firefox starts up.

    I have to enter login information and "secret phrase" for Sync every time Firefox starts up. Sync tells me I am using a new computer, which isn't the case. This is the same computer I set up Sync with.
    What am I/is Sync doing wrong?

    There could be several things.
    Does everyone using the computer have their own user profile?
    Check the history settings. Is it set to remove cookies?

  • Why do I lose my tab apps and tab groups every time firefox updates to a new version?

    It seems like every time I get a new version of firefox my tab apps and groups disappear. Why does this happen and what can I do about it?

    Hi,
    My settings are as described and have been for a long time and number of versions. However whenever there is a update to firefox everything goes, including app tabs and other opened tabs.
    I think something should be done about this as it's very frustraighting to have to start again setting evverything up, and remembering everything I had pinned & open whenever there is an update.

  • My newest Apple TV work load the main page.  All I get is a page saying home sharing and settings. Even when I restart, restore, it goes back to this page.  It worked once since buying it then suddenly it stopped and I keep getting this page as the main p

    Hi,
    My newest Apple TV which I bought on Amazon finally arrived and worked for 2 days.  Now all of a suudden it is refusing to load the main page to select movies, radio, netflix etc.  All I am getting is a page saying homesharing with only an option to select Computers of Settings.  I have reset the Apple TV, restored it but nothing...it keeps going back to this page saying computers and settings.  I've tried updating the software as well but after 30 minutes or so it tells me software update was unsuccessful and to go to settingsand choose restore and the loop begins?  Is it permanently broken?

    I had the same issue Berry.  What worked for me was going to the General Settings and doing a reset from there.  I got all my apps back but had to re-enter all my information for iTunes, Netflix, Hulu etc...
    Hope it works for you too!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

    Macbook air Wi Fi and sound stops every time it goes to sleep. i have to  restart it every time to use wifi and sounds. this started happening just after the latest upgrade to OS X. any reasons why its doing that and how to fix it.

    Test after taking each of the following steps. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved.
    2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Symptom: The network connection drops unexpectedly."
    3. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    4. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
    5. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
    6. In some cases, the problem has been resolved by repairing permissions on the startup volume.
    7. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
    8. Reinstall OS X.

  • Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari?

    Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari and why does my history keep clearing?
    I want to save my bookmarks for my favorite pages but every time I close Safari the default ones (Apple, iCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, News and Popular) re appear.
    Basicaly I want Google instead of Twitter and Yahoo and I also don't want it to keep clearing my history.

    Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

    Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
    Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

  • How can I change the settings in my time capsule to support UPnP?

    Trying to change the settings on my time capsule to support UPnP so I might remotely access 3rd party software.  Any suggestions?

    Apple routers do not support UPnP.  They do support NAT-PMP, but that requires that you manually enter in the port values to set up what is known as Port Mapping.
    But, first things first. is the Time Capsule set up as the DHCP and NAT router for the network, or do you have another router upstream from the Time Capsule on the network?
    Another way to ask the same question......what is the make and model number of the device that you call your "modem"?

  • How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

    how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space.  Please help.  Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

    I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p.  Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb.  So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space.  Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR.  Thanks!
    Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
    For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is.   Good Luck!

  • Change Bex Variable Value every time refresh query!

    I'm looking for solution at this problem:
    1) I've create a formula variable
    2) I've assign to this variable a value in EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001 (step 2)
    3) When run my query it's OK but the value of my variable is static!!
    The problem is to change variable value every time the user change a filter like when do "Select Filter Value"...
    How can I do this?

    I know step 2 and this step is usefull for the first valorization of variable
    but, for example, if I run the query with initial filter and after, in the navigation, I restrict the filter using "Keep Filter Value" on a single value of one characteristic the system doesn't execute the SAP EXIT and variable is the same of the first initial value...
    I need a SAP EXIT or anything like it for change Formula Variable Value every time I change any filter during the query navigation.

  • Autocorrect changes "me" to "mr" every time.

    Autocorrect changes "me" to "mr" every time.  How can I fix this?

    autocorrect can be a blessing or a pain in the butt.  I switch between English and French all the time, and the autocorrect kills me.  So I first type XX then back up and type all my message (in other words XX is at the end of the words as I type them.  Auto correct is effectively disactivated this way.  Then all you have to do is erase the XX before sending the message

    I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

    Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

  • I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

    There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
    Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.
