User profile and home page changed and Firefox hijacked by IE

I use Firefox with XP os with Kaspersky os. When I turned on computer it went through changing user profile.
Home page is changed to MSN-IE becomes the browser and all my files are gone. Computer hijacked. This is the second computer this has happened to.

See these articles for some suggestions:

Hi Vicki, you also mentioned your home page changing. If Yahoo is your home page, this is normal as they keep updating things.
In some cases, if your home page is a specific server address instead of a more general address like
* http://www.yahoo.com/
* http://my.yahoo.com/
* http://mail.yahoo.com/
then Yahoo will need to redirect your browser to a different server.
Users have reported on this forum that this can lead to email problems like broken features as well as display glitches.
To make sure you get the server that Yahoo intends for you, please go to one of the above Yahoo addresses and follow the link to your email. Hopefully this will resolve any problem with the redirection and you can save the new address in place of the old one (home page, bookmark, etc.).
Also, when you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site. If Yahoo support did not already recommend this, here are the steps:
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Firefox V33.0 can't find user profile and cant view window content

Hello
I have used Firefox since the old days, wayyy back. Never an issue, always worked, always performed.
My Firefox (v32 I believe), automatically downloaded and applied the v33 browser and immediately, everything went wrong...
First, the browser loaded but the screen was either sheet black or sheet white, then reloading (after closing the window) was informed (only via the window title as all else was block black) that Firefox couldn't see a user profile.
I loaded FF with safe mode and disabled everything (list of addons at the bottom of this post), and the browser loads now and I can see content, but then after only a minute in "safe mode" firefox persistently returned with either a fatal crash or a sudden inability to find the user profile (causing exit).
Reading up about possible workarounds, I eventually managed to export the Profile data (to desktop), to clear the profile data and replace data with desktop copy. Clearing the data took several attempts due to firefox display only showing black or white as stated above, but firefox then couldn't "import" profile as I can't see whats going on in the window.
Eventually manually installed profile data (from desktop automatic copy) to firefox but FF still persisted in crashing to desktop and not displaying correctly if not in Safe mode. I eventually uninstalled firefox and reinstalled from scratch. The reinstall persisted with all the above mentioned issues, I did manually reinstate the FF user profile and crashing to desktop is now rare but does still happen, now it usually happens when Firefox is not the current active window.
Firefox still does not display correctly unless in the "Safe Mode".
Any clues or help or suggestion about why this would happen? Any way I can revert to version 32?
My Addons :
No Services.
Appearance, default only
PLUGINS:
VLC plugin 2.1.3.0
Silverlight plugin 5.1.3
shockwave flash 15.0.0
Quicktime plugin 7.7.5
Java platform SE7 U67 10.
Google Update (disabled)
Adobe Acrobat 11.0.9
EXTENSIONS:
British Dictionary (not compatible with v33!!, disabled)
Colorzilla 2.8.1
cssUpdater 0.5.2 (disabled)
Dust-Me Selector [for CSS] 4.1
Firebug 2.0.3 (and associated FireDiff, FirePHP, EventBug)
enabling / disabling all/any of these does not (so far) change the graphical fault loading Firefox outside of Safe Mode.
Any ideas?
cheers
P.S>As additional info: I have tried the "reset firefox" but this caused numerous little bugs with saving the profile user data. Also reseting did not fix any of the issues.
Everything else on my computer works fine. No virus, no malware (Eset / MWBytes) all other programs fine, and FF was fine until V33!!

In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. This has been going on for over three weeks, I am now on 9 and still it says I have not upgraded.

In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. So I upgrade again and still it says I haven't next time I log on. Today I upgraded to 9, it said congratulations on upgrading, I log off then log back on only to be told yet again I need to upgrade. What is going on?

You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained. You appear to have Firefox 8.0.1 installed which is the latest version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version is now built-in to Firefox).

UPRE to replicate User Profiles and Managed Metadata to High Availability backup farm

I'm working on a HA project, and have been tasked with replicating our User Profiles and Metadata to a newly created farm. I'll call the current production farm FarmA and the new HA farm FarmB. I've installed SharePoint2010AdministrationToolkit on FarmB,
and used SPDiag to generate my first report on FarmB.
We're not using MySites.
I'm looking at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj891109(v=office.15).aspx and have some questions. Anything I do on FarmA will be done thought a Change Control, and I want to be able to answer questions intelligently.
Does SharePoint2010AdministrationToolkit and UPRE have to be installed on FarmA and FarmB?
Does enabling DTC create any security concern? Or performance hit? I haven't done this before.
Any documented risks with using the replicator?
Are scheduled replications typically 1 weekly full with nightly incrementals?
Anything the replication won't copy over to FarmB? Like Synchronization Connections, or additional/custom fields?
How are GUIDs handled?
Sorry to pack 6 questions into one post ;)
Thanks,
Scott

To answer the first question this is what MS says: The User Profile Replication Engine can be installed on any computer that has access to the source User Profile service application and destination User Profile service application. However, we recommend
that you install the User Profile Replication Engine on a computer that is part of the source farm or on a computer that is connected to the subnet of the source domain. The User Profile Replication Engine uses the SharePoint Server 2010 User Profile and User
Profile Change Log to read and write data between user profile stores. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc663011(v=office.15).aspx And to answer 4th question its true but full sync will only be required initially and only when there is org changes
most of the time its incremental. To my knowledge FULL replication will bring all the details but not sure though.

Assign User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users

Hi EM Gurus,
Has anyone worked with not standard scenarios in SCEM?
They are working well but I can't access them on interface web.
In selection page (search page after logon), where choose tracking scenarios, only standard scenarios appear although I have assigned both scenarios to the user and made same configuration; Assigned and Defined Web Interface Transactions, Configured Fields for User Profiles, Defined User Profiles, Assigned User Profiles and Web Interface Transactions to Users.
But only Standard Scenarios appear as choice of tracking scenarios that are displayed to the user as a dropdown box on the selection screen after logging on to the Web interface.
Has anyone accessed not standard scenarios on interface web??
Help, please!
Thanks a lot.
Rodrigo Freitas

Hello Rodrigo,
if you have assigned the scenarios to your user in transaction /SAPTRX/UCUSER you must go to the admin page and reload the profile manager.
/admin in the URL of the WCL instead /ehsearch.
Afterwards you should see them also in the drop-down box.
Best regards,
Steffen

Yes - this was the first set of information the OP dumped from his system. About line 5 of the post.
But I do wonder whether the 9.2.0.6 (not latest patch) makes a difference? Or perhaps the connect time is being used as part of a composite limit.

I used "my documents" for the profile folder, I removed the profile and firefox asked if i want to remove its file, and it took ALL my file except a few, all my photographs etc, are these now unrecoverable? as they are not in the recycle bin

disaster, thanks firefox 1 year of photos lost

Thanks for the obvious question. I mean it. The very same thought came to me this morning and, sure enough, I had booted into another drive--my old one that, of course, had the old desktop, etc.
It didn't dawn on me that this was the case since I hadn't set it as a boot drive but I guess in the course of all the restarts I did, it got switched.
I'm back to normal again.

I'm unable to save the local news setting (BBCPostcoder cookie) in the BBC Home Page although my Firefox Privacy settings to accept cookies are correct.

Safari won't hold Home Page change

I change the homepage to Google, it stays maybe 2-3 times in future sign-ons, then reverts back to apple start page default. Why will Safari not hold a home page selection??

Thanks, Yes, I have run all the software updates, including the latest 10.5.2. I do not have any other browser other than Safari as a default. It will only hold my home page change for 2 or 3 logon's then reverts back to apple.com default page.
It does not do this with my wife's Macbook, just my Macbook Pro.
Why would a software update screw it up?

How do I get Yahoo back as my home page...Firefox dominates. I had to download Firefox to take and online exam.

I had to download Firefox in order to take some tests online for continuing education.
I have lost Yahoo as my homepage and have your site instead.
How do I get yahoo back as my home page?
I do not want Firefox as my home page...It has also wrapped itself around the Internet Explorer Icon on my desktop.
I do not want to install another program.
Thank you.

How about a reply from Firefox by a person.
I am totally frustrated with Firefox and at this point, I will finish the class as soon as possible so i can remove your program from my computer.
So again, Help!

Lost user profile and disk0s2: I/O error during start up in safe mode

My almost 2 year old Mac Book Pro (10.7.5) started lagging and rainbow spiraling last week and now it usually doesn't make it to the login page after boot up. It stays on the gray apple screen until I hold the power button to power it off.
If it makes it to the login page, after 10-20 minutes on the gray apple screen, my primary user profile is not there but the standadr guest user and my blank student user are still there and do work with many rainbow spirals interruptions.
I started it in safe mode and have also tried starting it with command-option-p-r to reset the PRAM and it went through the double start up sounds but still did not load my primary user profile on the login screen, still after a very long boot up process.
I then started it up in safe mode and watched the progress it seemed to run cleanly through lines and lines of code until it hit a bunch of lines of "disk0s2: I/O error" ...
Are my computer's brains toast??? I just did a Time Machiene back up to an external hard drive as few days ago ... but what needs to be done with my computer?

"disk0s2: I/O error" ...
This indicates a disk failure, though a hardware failure involving the connection between the HD and logic board is also a remote possibility. If you are able to successfully repair it with Disk Utility, it will probably recur.
Replace the disk and restore from your Time Machine backup. Hard disks are not expensive and it's easy enough to replace it yourself.
