The Bing web browser has ijacked my Firefox browser. How can i get rid of it.

I downloaded some wallpaper images from Bing. Which i can no longer delete. Then out of the blue Bing took over as my browser

I am just guessing here but possibly Bing has reset your homepage, or has installed some sort of application/toolbar.
To reset your homepage see: [[How to set the home page]]
To look for unwanted addons use Tools -> Add-ons and disable &/or uninstall anything that is unwanted.

  • Yesterday, a search tab comes on when I start firefox. How can I get rid of it?

    I seldom use tabs, so the tab bar was always hidden. starting yesterday, when I opened firefox A search tab is present. A single tab is also present. The search tab is very similar to the search button on the right of the navigation bar. So it is redundant.
    How can I get rid of this search tab?

    Can you uninstall the "Default Tab" extension as that is considered malware and is causing this search bar?<br />
    Otherwise just disable this extension.

  • History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying.

    History window opens by default when i open a new window or restart firefox. How can i get rid of that ? its annoying

    If the History sidebar is closed when you close Firefox and doesn't stay closed on the next start then that can be problem with the file localstore.rdf in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete localstore.rdf or rename the file to localstore.rdf.sav in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder] to test if the file is corrupted.<br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf<br />
    (caution: do not delete the localstore.rdf file in the Firefox program installation folder)
    Note:<br />
    Deleting the file [http://kb.mozillazine.org/localstore.rdf localstore.rdf] will reset the customizations of the toolbars to the defaults.<br />
    You can rename "localstore.rdf" to "localstore.rdf.sav" to test if that solves it.<br />
    Then you can restore the customization by copying "localstore.rdf.sav" to "localstore.rdf" if it didn't work.<br />

  • My iTunes music folder is almost 1.5x the size on disc as my iTunes library. How can I get rid of this extra data?

    When I look at the iTunes music folder in Windows Explorer, it shows as 28.0 GB. In the iTunes library, it says my music is 18.3 GB. I would like to get my 10 gigs back.
    I've tried to add the media folder to my library - it just duplicated maybe 10 songs, didn't add any new ones. This suggests that there isn't any extra music in the folder. So why is it 10 GB larger? How can I get rid of the extra non-music data?

    Apparently there are some mp3 files that aren't adding despite importing the folder...
    That is actually a very common problem, due to iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in MP3 formats. The problem can usually be corrected by treating the files with a 3rd party tag cleanup program, such as MP3 Validator.
    i don't know how much of the missing 9.7 GB this will apply to, but definitely worth a try.

  • My Mac Menu Bar has 2 Abode Icons.  How can I get rid of one?

    Hi there. My status bar has a "Creative Cloud Icon" (with the number 6 next to it) and a second "Adobe Icon" (with a 5 next to it).  See attached.
    When I click the Adobe icon, it just opens Creative Cloud updater anyway.
    I don't mind having the creative cloud icon, but the other is redundant, takes up space, and displays different information.  How do I get rid of the second one?
    Thanks, Jon

  • I work with a web app that will not run on Firefox, so I changed my default browser back to IE but the URL link continues to open in Firefox. How can I get it to default to IE?

    After changing my default browser from Firefox back to IE, other URLs are defaulting to IE but I have one URL that continues to default to Firefox. This web app will only run in IE so the only way I can run it is to open IE first and then enter or select the URL. Is there a setting someplace that will change the default browser for this URL to be IE?

    You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys<br />
    Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs<br />
    Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser'<br />
    Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
    Check the default settings in:<br />
    Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left)<br />
    Open: Custom (click arrow on the right)<br />
    Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser"<br />
    Click OK

    Backup your data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine or bootable clones, disconnect.
    Unistall Chrome and/or Firefox.
    Head to System Preferences and create a new Admin account, log into it and delete the first one, reboot then recreate it.
    Log into the originally named account, use ClamXav to run a scan on the external drive and transfer just files back into Pictures, Music, Documents etc folders, nothing into Library!, don't erase the external drive.
    See if your problems continue, and if they do then your looking at infection in your Admin privledged folders, thus a command r or commnad option r held at boot to erase the entire Macintish HD partition and a resinstall of OS X from Apple's servers, need your AppleID and password.

  • The Home icon has disappeared in Firefox 4, How can I get it back?

    Installing Firefox 4 made the Home and other icons I used frequently disappear and changed the access to Google. Now, after I finish on a website and want to return to the "Start" page, I have to close the tab and start all over. Not a great design, ya know?

    The home icon by default has moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar.
    If the other icons that you miss are the stop/go/reload buttons, in Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
    When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
    If you want separate buttons stop/go/reload buttons, or want to move the home button, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

  • I installed a music downloader Imesh which has taken over my Firefox browser, how can I get rid of it?

    I installed a program called iMesh to play music on my computer via the internet. When I used Firefox now the search windows have been taken over by 'iMesh Web Search' and they don't bring up the same lists when I searched Firefox previously; e.g. it is very difficult to get 'Hotmail' to come up. I have uninstalled the iMesh program from the computer (not just deleted the icon), but my Firefox remains invaded. Please can you help?

  • I have set my home page but the "drag this icon to the home symbol to set your home page" box will NOT go away each time I use Firefox. How can I get rid of it now that I've done what it wanted?

    This little box near the top right started showing up recently, and after a few times I realized I did want to change my home page to my most frequently used web page, so I followed the instructions and it works, but that @W#$ popup box continues to show up each and every time I start, every time I log out of the web page, and so on. Since I've fulfilled its requirements, I'd like to get it to STAY GONE and not get in my way.

    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.

  • There are 13GB "other" data that I cannot account for that simply did not exist before the update. Where is it coming from and how can I get rid of it?

    After the update, 13GB of "other" data mysteriously shows up on my phone when it tries to sync; It's literally more than half the available space on my phone. I've deleted SEVERAL apps (including the apps it tried to sync from my iPad), I've removed most of my music and videos.
    I can account for the rest of the data on the phone EXCEPT for the 13GB of "other".
    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Yes, I have the same 13 GB "other" after updating from IOS 4 to IOS 5.
    I posted the follow-up question, which is:
    What can I do about this? Can I clear it without doing a restore?
    If I do a restore, can I then re-install my apps and music from my iMac?

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
