The new tab page is showing Gmail inbox pages, meaning anyone can start a new tab and get access to my email. How do I stop this?

When I open a new tab, within the pages brought up is my gmail inbox. This mean anyone can have access to my inbox without logging in, without my password. How do I restrict this access?

If you log out of Gmail, then clicking the thumbnail should take you to a login page. If you don't log out, then anyone can access your email just by typing gmail.com in the URL bar. But you're right that the picture does create a temptation to click...
You can set the new tab page back to blank if you prefer. However, please note that the page thumbnails are stored in the browser cache, so you also need to clear your cache to flush out existing thumbnails if you don't want anyone to be able to see them.

  • I gave my wife a new Ipad 2 she gave me hers old one How do I change her name to mine and get access to my emails

    I gave my wife an ipad 2 she gave me her old ipad how do I change her detail to me and access my email account on her Ipad
    This will be I guess the first of many questions
    Thanks

    You really should download and read the user guide that roaminggnome gave you the link for in the post above.
    If you want to totally start from scratch and erase all of her content go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This removes everything from the device and returns it to out of the box status. You can also restore the iPad as a new device in iTunes and that erases everything as well. This article explains that process.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If you want to rename the iPad, connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Double click on the text of the iPad's name on the left grey source list of iTunes and you can change the name of the iPad. When you are finished typing in the new name, hit the return key on your keyboard. This article explains it for you.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3965
    You will want to delete her mail accounts on the iPad if you have not done so already and set up your own mail accounts. This article will tell you how to do that.

  • I have pop ups blocked but every time I change web pages I get a pop up. How do I stop this?

    I went to the TOOLS and OPTIONS and checked the box to BLOCK POP UPS but still every time I change web pages, no matter what they are, I get a pop up. Please help me to stop this. This is very annoying.

    Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

  • I load firefox it checks the compatibility of the add-ons. They are compatible, I have confirmed this through an addon but it doesnt go away. I also always loads the "welcome to firefox page" that you usually get after an update. How do I stop this?

    Click any firefox link and it loads a box first checking the compatibility. This can take anything from 20 seconds to 5 mins to complete. When that finishes it loads up the standard page you get up after you update firefox plus my homepage. It also freezes and lags ("not responding") briefly as well if I try to close it down and sometimes crashes.
    This happens without fail every time that I load up firefox and some help would be much appreciated in resolving this.

  • My Firefox is crashing every five minutes. No plug ins, lap top is new drivers updates and current version of firefox. How do I stop this?!

    I recently updated my firefox after doing updates and cleaning out my computer. Firefox was working fine with the old version not problems. Now I am lucky to be online for more than five mins before it crashes. Doesn't matter what page I'm on or what I am doing. No plug ins currently installed as I have only had this for two days and can't be online long enough to do anything. I hate explorer please help me fix this issue.

    hello, unfortunately this seems to be a crash that is appearing in firefox 19 on windows 8 with AMD Radeon HD 6XXX/7XXX graphics cards - developers are investigating the causes of it...
    the best option probably is to downgrade to the to the former version at the moment until this gets sorted out: [[Install an older version of Firefox]]
    ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/18.0.2/win32/
    the auto-update in firefox 18 for the affected systems is now disabled and will be turned back on when a fix is available.

  • When I open the browser I get 2 password prompts. How do I stop this?

    Since updating to the current version of Firefox (3.6.10), the password prompt has moved to the top right of the screen instead of the center, and I get 2 prompts. I can close the first and enter the password into the second for the browser to start, or enter the password twice.
    Is there any way to rectify this?

  • Each time I open foxfire a popup asking how to process a download opens and inhibits use of foxfire. How do I stop the popup?

    each time I open foxfire a .LNK popup appears asking how to process a download opens and inhibits use of foxfire. How do I stop this and allow me to open and use foxfire browser. This started after I attempted to follow directions to install/associate a .LNK program/file with foxfire to control saving downloads using any browser. Note that I am a novice user. How can I stop this?

    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, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    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.

  • I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?

    I am unable to update any add-ons at all. Every time I try and install an add-on or even the new "show hidden add-ons" add-on, I get a server error. How do I fix this?

    You may have triggered some intermittent database issues but it should be running smooth by now. Let us know if you still see server errors.
    Also, if your addons appear to go missing after updating there is a workaround http://blog.mozilla.com/addons/2011/09/28/issue-discovered-with-firefox-add-on-upgrades/ And there is a 7.0.1 fix on its way.

  • Opening a new tab opens my history on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    when opening a new tab in safari, it automatically opens my history in a column on the left. How do I stop this from happening?

    IF you change the view of the left column to "Bookmarks" or "Favorites" this is what will be shown rather than "History".
    There is no way to prevent this column from being shown but it can be dismissed by touching the "Book" icon at the top-left of the screen.

    Let me guess as you haven't supplied the information. You have bought iWork dvd or serial number. Have installed it but you have forgotten to do the Software updates for it. Click on the Apple menu and choose Software update check.

  • Bing is taking over Firefox - auto starts on start, or grabs the home page if I start it - how do I stop this? Go to Safari?

    Every few months, Bing takes control of Firefox:
    When I start the computer, Bing autostarts FF and then makes itself the home page.
    If I quickly close FF - I am really upset about this Bing thing and will never use it, so I shut down the autostart FF - and then open FF myself, Bing will open as the home page.
    When I check options Gmail is set as the home page. When I check bookmarks, there is nothing for Bing.
    This is a pretty egregious MS malware program.
    How do I stop this, and keep it from re-occurring? Note that I've already tried the resetting of FF, which means I must reinstall all extensions. That works but only for a few weeks. The Bing malware is back. How do I get rid of this, once and for all? Or could Mozilla have a legal chat with MS, since they are "grabbing" your software in the worst malware fashion.
    I use an ASUS F502c. It came with Windows 8; I've upgraded that to 8.1
    Thanks,
    DMS

  • When I sign into or out of Gmail - many other pages automatically refresh. How do I stop this?

    I hate automated things, when it's NON consensual and it's part of some automated bullshit trip.
    I might have half finished texts on the other open tabs, or what ever, but it's MY bandwidth to chew up on things I see fit, not the people of Mozilla, or Google or whoever.
    And while the account page is gmail, that I am signing into or out of, the other pages are NOT google pages either.
    I think the designers of the "refresh / automatic refresh" should be shot - because the reason I have a PAGE (tab) open, is because I want to access THAT page, and not a later version of it...
    This auto-reload / refresh of some tabs absolutely annoys the piss out of me, because I did not ask for it, and there is NO apparently easy up front way to stop it from happening - which I also think is one of the best way to alienate users of a product - by building in a host of idiot functions with NO control over them.
    So how do i stop this from happening?

    ''the-edmeister [[#answer-690349|said]]''
    <blockquote>
    That may be happening for websites that participate in Google+. ''IOW, Google+ knows about a lot of things you use on the internet; like they're following you around.'' You may want to check those websites to verify that they are connected with the Google+ program, or not. ''In that case, my hypothesis is incorrect.''
    I think what happens is that you sign in at Gmail, which is a Google+ sign-in these days, and all the other web pages that participate in the Google+ program somehow "sense" that you have just logged into Google+ and reload their page to reflect that you are nowlogged into the Google+ program. Google+ was originally an "option" at Gmail, but that ended not to long after Google+ came about - like within 6 months or so.
    http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/learnmore/better/
    One solution is to stay logged into Google+ / Gmail all the time. Another is to transition away from Gmail over time and use a different web-mail platform instead; and eventually stop using Gmail altogether.
    </blockquote>
    Yeah this is sounding like "THE PROBLEM" and what drives it. However, the solutions you have offered are not "solutions", in that they do not "FIX" the issues, they merely circumvent or bypass them.
    Since I can't go punch Eric Schmitt on the nose for being a nazi prick, and send him the bill for wasting my internet data, I want to stop the collusive programming practices of the people from Mozilla and Google - from operating my computer, contrary to my mandates. i.e. It's my computer and I am paying for my bandwidth." - I have total say so about what I allow to go on, not anyone else.
