Up-dated Firefox and now I have Bing as browser on Firefox start page. How do I get Google back

Updated from Firefox 22 to Firefox 23 and now I have Bing as my browser. I want Google as my browser. How to set Google as my browser on Firefox start page.

I'm back and I resolved the problem my-self. This is what you have to do... 1) Type in search "about:config" and click "ok" when the warning comes up; 2) in search type "browsers.search.selectedEngine" 3) now right click on "browers.search.selectedEngine" and choose from menu "new" and now choose "string" and just write "Google" and click "ok". That's it and your done. Now I have my faithful Google back and so will you. I was a little frightened at first because I know if I make a mistake that I would have to possibly re-install Firefox but all worked okay and was very easy to do. Just make sure that you re-check before you click "ok".

    Did you fail to import your photos before updating?  If so, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.  If that fails then they are gone.  You should regularly import photos to your computer, most especially before any update.
    Did you fail to transfer any purchases on iphone ( that were not on your computer) to your computer before updating?  If so, then you will have to redownload:

  • I updatedn firefox and it put a yahoo tool bar on my start page how do i get rid of it. i do not see anywhere to delete or uninstall the yahoo toolbar

    i was in firefox doing something and i got a message stating that i needed to update firefox to 28 so l clicked and installed it. well it also installed a freaking yahoo annoying tool bar that i cannot delete. its not in my installed programs so i cannot delete from there. i tried right clicking on an empty space on the tool bar to see if i could get rid of it there and i cannot. can someone tell me how to get rid of it. or tell me how to go back to my previous version for firefox if that will get rid of it. otherwise i just might uninstalled firefox and then reinstall

    hello, please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
    <br>also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
    <br>finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • I had to restore my ipod touch and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    I had to restore my ipod touch when doing an update and now I have lost all my games.  Is there a way to get them back?

    Restore from backup
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up      
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I updated to PS CC 2014 and now my plug-ins are no longer available to use. how do I get them back?

    i updated from PS CC to PS CC 2014 and now my plug-ins are no longer available to use. how do I get them back?  I can no longer navigate to the NIK collection, my Topaz plug-ins, etc.  They still are accessible on LR, but they don't seem to now be accessible on PS CC 2014

    For Topaz, cop the shortcuts from Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photshop CC\plug-ins  to the same folder in Photoshop CC 2014
    I don't know about Nik

  • I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back?

    I synced my iPod to a new music folder and now all of my games (Klondike, Vortex, etc) are gone - how do I get them back? Please help! Thanks!

    Aren't those the default games that come with the iPod Classic?  If so, they won't be in your iTunes library, but only on your iPod Classic itself as they are built in the iPod's software.

  • When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps.  How do I get mine back?

    When I synced my iphone to our computer, it took on my husbands apple id account and now it asks for his password to update apps.  How do I get mine back?

    Yes, you can delete them from your phone by tapping the icon until it jiggles, then tap the black x.  You can verify that your Apple ID is still correct for future purchased by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID (at the bottom).  If it's wrong, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using your ID.  Then you should be good to go.

  • Update pushed from Adobe for Acrobat X failed and now the "print to a PDF" option is missing. How do I get it back?

    Adobe pushed a security update to my computer and the update failed.  Now the "print to PDF" option is missing from all of my programs.  How do I get it back?
    Version X.1.12.

    Thanks.  That's exactly what I did, but from the Adobe help screen.  It did the trick, but I'm not very happy with Adobe for messing up my system.
    I appreciate your answering back.

  • I changed from english to spanish and then back to english and now it does not recognise english when i type emails. how do i get it back to english?

    i changed the lan uage of my iphone 3gs from english to spanish and then back to english. now it does not recognise enghlish but seems to be using a mix of languages. how do i get it back to english please?

    Please check in Settings: General: Keyboard: International Keyboards how many there are and which.
    If there is more than one you can either delete the ones that you don't use, or if you want to type on different ones at different times you can change between them using the key with a world that appears when you are using the keyboard.

  • HT1918 Someone Hacked my account and now I have many charges on my credit card. How do I get to talk to support about this?

    My account seems to be hacked for I have over $200 in charges on my credit card that I didn't create - how can I get those stopped or cancelled and my money back?

    I had this happen, itunes won't do anything. You have to claim it through your credit card and change your itunes password. I was able to cancel some pending orders but itunes support was not able to help at all. It took them three days to respond. I was also able to change the shipping address on an order and send it back.

  • I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing.  How do I get it back?

    I bought a used ipod touch.  The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone.  How do I get the icons back and start over?

    If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

  • My hdd is gone and now I have a new one without my old key - how can I get my stored data on my new hdd?

    all data on my old hdd is lost after an crash. so i changed it with a new hdd. but the old sync key is not longer available. I generated a new key so i lost all my old date stored with sync... is there any way to restore the old data from my old hdd sync key...?

    Sorry, no. The SyncKey is used for encryption / decryption during the Sync process, without the Sync Key that was used to encrypt your personal data as it was uploaded to the Sync storage server your data is worthless. Plus, when you generate a new Sync Key for an existing account, all the data that is saved on the server for that account is deleted for your security.
    Do you still have the old HDD? It may work long enough for you to extract your Firefox data, if you put that drive in a USB drive enclosure and access it as an external drive. <br />
