Tried about:config does not owrk now NEWTAB facebook/twitter etc.list is my startpage and comes up with every tab PLEASE how do I disable this awful newtab

I want to get rid of the newtab as my start page (homepage selected in options, but does not pan out)
and it comes up with every link. I tried about :config/ about:newtab to about:blank. now it is WORSE because it is now the homepage too.

Go to about:config, and search for 'newtab'. On 'browser.newtab.url', set the value to about:newtab. This is the default value.
If this doesn't work, try resetting Firefox. All of your data will be saved, and Firefox will be reset to the defaults. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

How do I enable Javascript in Foxfire 29.0? about:config does not work.

I've just downloaded the newest available Foxfire (29.0) in the hope I can access my gmail account. But it still says "Javascript is not enabled". about:config does NOT show a preferences menu, so I can't toggle Javascript on. I tried downloading add-ons to toggle Javascript on/off, but they are not compatible with Firefox 29.0.
Must I stop using Firefox altogether? I cannot access my banks, my credit cards, or my gmail accounts, nor can I access YouTube. This is all I use my browser for -- so Firefox is no longer useful to me, unless you can give me a fix for this!
Carol Stromek

This solution didn't work, because the page was redirecting and never arrived. It might have been because I was using Internet Explorer, which also is not Javascript enabled -- but the Mozilla Support Forum requires Javascript enabled in order to access it!
I used Chrome, and was able to toggle it when the about:config field ''finally'' opened. The originally posted instructions omitted the instruction that the command about:config will only work if you do it from the Firefox home screen, where the orange word 'Firefox' appears at the beginning of the destination.

TS1702 I have a charge on my CC that does not track to any purchases nor do I have an email receipt. Can anyone tell me where/how I can get this deleted (charge is from 04/08 so nearly two weeks old)? Thanks!

Apple could not tell you who else might be using your credit card, so there's no point in trying to contact them. All they could discuss with you is your own iTunes Store account, and if there's nothing in your purchase history, the charges almost certainly aren't coming from there. Again, you should take this up with your bank/credit card company and report these charges as fraudulent. They probably will cancel your card and issue you a new one.

I enter about.config in my address bar and a page from SearchAssist - Landing appears with this message: "As a courtesy, your ISP provided this page because "about.config" does not exist or is unavailable." How can I reach about.config?

Details in original question above - maybe that's why response was that this question had not been asked before. I use very slow dial-up (DSL not available in my area) and I have a lot of computer problems as a result. So I'm not sure if this is because of my computer or if the page really is no longer available. Last time I reinstalled the OS I was able to access it and make changes (May 13-14). I need to reinstall the OS again but, if I can't access about.config, I won't be able to get the computer back to working the way I want (status bar at bottom of screen, etc.). Is there some other way I can try to access the about.config page?

How can I completely disable ssl3.0? about:config does not have security.enable_ssl3

Latest discovery by Google says even though I use TLS, I may be configured to be backward compatible to SSL3.0 and a "Poodle" attack by a predator website might induce me to use SSL3.0 and be vulnerable to attack. They say the cure is: "To prevent POODLE attacks on Firefox, open about.config, search for "security.enable," and set "security.enable_ssl3" to false."
First mistake is "about.config" should be "about:config". Second problem is there is no "security.enable_ssl3" line to be found. I don't know if I'm supposed to create the line, and if so, how do I do that?

Typing in the box of about:config does not work

1. about:config. Click the button in the warning window. Try to type the name of the parameter e.g. typeahead.
2. Ctrl+F sometimes scrolls page to the bottom instead of displaying the "Find" bar. (might be related to 1).

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Installer does not launch LR 5.7 It makes a feeble attempt but then quits without installing the downloads. How can I correct this?

Hi: I have been trying for several hours, in fact all day and into the late evening, trying to get Creative Cloud back to its usually helpful self. My older laptop finally gave up on me but it still holds over 2000 of my recent images and I want to get them back unto a working version of LR. .
I am in Florida and my desktop is in my house in Ontario, Canada. So I picked up another Windows 7 ACER laptop. Actually it was a Xmas gift for my wife who had been suffering from Windows Hateitis .She has recovered and almost likes 8 now. So I get to play with the newer laptop until we get back up north in late March.
However the gremlins seem to have got there before me and Creative Cloud's installer just won't do it's job.. It stutters along weakly for a few seconds and then quits without launching a single byte.
I have downloaded the. exe files but Mulder and Skully are no longer around to solve the mystery.
Perhaps one of you can.
Once I get LR on board I can work on getting those 2000 plus raw files from a dead laptop to a hopefully healthy one. At least it is not a hate.
Regards

When I open Firefox, the browser does not open. Instead I get a small window that says: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined. How do I fix this?

I tried to uninstall AVG antiviral software, but it did not uninstall. Next, when I try to open Firefox I get a box popup that says:
TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined.
If I click OK in that box, I can then open Firefox.
Also I can no longer update Java.
Help!

Possibly you have "AVG Safe search" extension installed as part of "AVG Free", solution involves reinstalling :AVG Free" without the Link Scanner component see

Firefox synch does not synch new bookmarks inside enclosing folders but leaves them at a higher directory on remote computers. How do I fix this? Xmarks did this flawlessly!

I make a new bookmark at home and save the bookmark in an existing folder within an existing folder (two levels deep). When I synch and look at the same bookmark on my work computer the new bookmark is outside the second (enclosing) folder. How do I fix this.

The unix commands you need are:
GetFileInfo
SetFileInfo
and maybe find
for cryptic details use the man command
Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal
man SetFileInfo
You may use the SetFileInfo command to set the file type & the program which will open the file.

Why does firefox zoom in when I open a new tab? How can I disable this?

Every time I right click on a link and select "Open link in a new tab" firefox zooms in. This happens also when I hold ctrl and click on a link. I know I can just zoom back out using ctrl - but this gets really annoying sometimes. How can I disable this?

Sorry, but if you have forgotten the password for your encrypted backup, you'll have to start all over again:
Make sure that the password you use is one that you'll remember. If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and forget your password, you won't be able to restore from backup, and your data will be unrecoverable.
If you can't remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and choose set up as a new device when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore.
