When clicking for a new tab, I used to to see previuos tabs history. But now it goes to an "I=play, yahoo bing search page. How do I delete this page or go back to the history page

when I click "new tab" the new page would be the search abr along with the :most used list. But now the "new tab" opens in a "I-Play", yahoo-bing search page. How do I get rid of the yahoo page and get back to the most viewed page????

A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:
*NewTabURL : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
You can open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for bing via the Filter at the top of the about:config page. 
You can reset all bing related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

I downloaded the new version of Firefox and it will not open certain of the addresses that I use to run my business. How can I delete this version and go back to the previous version? thank you

I would like to revert back to the previous version of Firefox. Please tell me how to do this

hello and thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it and, when trying to open a program which I previously was able to, still get the following message:
Remote XUL
This page uses an unsupported technology that is no longer available by default in Firefox.
Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
Seems unbelievable that I previously had no problem and now I do. Have you any suggestions to overcome this? Do you think I can go back further in Firefox history to get a version that will make it possible to access this. Many thanks! Lynn

Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

Before Mac OS X lion install I had over 50% free hard drive space on new MBP, but now my hard drive is full without me doing anything! How do I fix this??? Or should I just revert to Snow Leopard???

Sounds like the Time Machine Local Backup. Try turning Time Machine Off in System Preferences to verify.
See: OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs
But, your real problem is
I forgot to mention that I tried to use Disk Utility to Verify Disk, but it cannot. I get red errors that say the MacHD is corrupt and needs to be repaired. It says that in order to do this I need to use the Disk Utility on the install disk, but Lion doesn't have one!
Boot into Lion's Recovery (Hold ⌘R on Boot), select Disk Utility and then select Macintosh HD and click [Repair Disk]

How can I restore deleted file attachments from further back than the history tool will let me go?

I have a open form that collects registration information from customers, including documents and images that they can upload using file attachment fields. Back on 2/24 I inadvertently deleted the several hundree responses that the form had collected up until that point. Using the history tool, I accessed older, intact versions of the form, selected the deleted rows, and copy/pasted them back into the latest verskon of the document. It seemed to work fine, but I didn't look closely enough to see that the attachments had been lost. The file referenvces were still there, but they had little red exclamation marks next to them and couldn't be opened.
A couple week later, I discovered this and tried to go back into the form's hsitory again until before that accident on 2/24. However, I can no longer go back in time that far. The system only seems to let me go back around 10 days.
We need to recover the lost file attachmentrs. Is there a self-service way for me to restore my form back to 2/24, including file attachments? If not, could an Adobe supprrt technician hele me to do that?
Thank you

lol, nevermind. I came across an article that made it easy. For anyone else with this problem it's real simple.
Open itunes
File>Add Folder to Library
select 'itunes' and it will add your music to your library
Although it went through all my apps asking if I want to replace or don't replace with newer, when it finished all my music appeared in itunes just like I left it before reinstalling Win 7. Easy Peasy. I've seen others with same problem but nobody seemed to have this easy solution.
Now I can finally plug in my iphone and sync without losing all my music from my iphone.

After the last update, when opening a tab it defaults to a Bing search. How do I eliminate this content default?

After the last Firefox update when I open a new tab it defaults to a Bing search window.
I'd rather have Google or no content. How do I change this?

When quitting safari I used to get a dialogue box with checkboxes, useful if I accidentally pressed command q, but now option seems to have disappeared. Any ideas why or how to retrieve it please?

I used to get a dialogue box when quitting safari, which was useful if accidentally hitting 'command q', but has now disappeared leading to lost work etc.
Any idea why, or how I can get this useful option back please?

Now resolved, after chatting to Apple online support, who said they'd not heard of this happening - solved it quickly enough though.
Anyone interested or suffering similar I was told to remove website data from privacy tab in Safari preferences. And yes, I'd love to know how it worked too.....
Great thanks to Apple.

Since updating Firefox as suggested, when I 'save as' a jpeg, it automatically finds the folder and it's always the wrong folder. How can I disable this feature and go back to the original mode where it remains in the folder I choose until I change it?

For example, I saved a jpeg named 'picasso the guitarist'. I have folders titled A to Z. When I click 'save as' it might open the 'K' folder and I have to manually search the 'P' folder for 'Picasso' and save file. The most irritating thing is, when I 'save as' another jpeg of say 'pieter mother & child' it goes to another folder and does not remain in the 'P' folder, rather it goes to the 'X' folder or some other. This didn't happen before the last upgrade. Can I disable this new 'help' feature that is taking more time than the old version?

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

My macbook pro wont get passed the apple icon and the little were wheel below it. Any suggestions on how I can get this thing to atleast get to the home page or sign in page

This initially started out as me trying to get my battery to work. my battery was dying after a few minutes so I was trying to kill the battery and recharge it to see if I couldn't get it back to a full charge. This didn't work but after a day or so I noticed the computer running slow and when I went to start it a couple days later the apple icon page would pop up and the little grey wheel would just whir away below it like it was thinking. The screen was kinda hard to see. Since then I have tried several different things to get the computer to fire back up as it should. I have taken out the battery and left it hoping the internal battery would die and it would reset itself to a default mode. Didn't work so I then tried taking the battery out and just using the power cord. This didn't work. I tried putting the battery out and in while running on the power cord. this didn't work. I have tried holding the "alt/option" key and that didn't work. Although it did give me a different window. I have tried holding down the "f" keys. That didn't work. I have tried installing a disc to try and reinstall the operating system. That didn't work. I had to shut it down and restart it holding down the eject key to get the disc back. I am running out of things I can think of to try so if anyone has any ideas I am open to all of them.
Thank you,
Seldovian

In version 3.x.x I used to be able to type search terms into the address bar and the page would load, similar to Google's "Feeling Lucky" button. Now it just brings up a Google search for the terms I typed in. How can I get this time saving feature back?

The change between Firefox 3.6.* and Firefox 4 is how location bar search works. In Firefox 3.6 it uses Google "Browse by name" search. With the browse by name search, it performs a Google search and if there is a clear match it will take you to the site, otherwise it shows the Google search result. With Firefox 4 it just performs a Google search if you type something which is not recognised as a URL.
To get the Firefox 3.6 behaviour on Firefox 4 you need to change a hidden preference.
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''keyword.URL''', double-click on it and change its value to the link shown below

If you prefer, you can also do this by installing the Browse by Name extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/browse-by-name
