When connected to my wi fi firefix mobile default searches with verizon search instead if google.

this just started happening today.

Hi Jester1111
Sorry to hear about this problem.
Firefox for Android doesn't just switch search providers arbitrarily.
Two guesses:
1) You accidentally or somehow forgot that you installed an add-on that does search on Verizon by default.
* In the Firefox for Android menu: check Tools | Add-ons and make sure you don't have a Firefox for Android add-on that makes Verizon your search provider or that Verizon is your default search provider.
* If you do have an add-on related to Verizon, disable it
* If somehow Verizon became a search provider, long tap on Verizonand tap "Disable"
2) Verizon did something strange. Not sure what they could do and how to cope with it but it's a possibility that your ISP (which I guess is Verizon) can do weird things when connected to the ISP's WiFi.
Followup questions:
* What Android device are you using?
* What version of Android are you using?

    I think what may be your main issue here is that the 2011
    server has the Intel integrated HD3000 and is is struggling
    to run both a Thuderbolt display and a second monitor.
    When looking at specs for Thunderbolt Display, it is stated
    that the 2011 Mini Server can only support one.  Adding that
    Dell monitor with 1920x1200 display may just be too many
    pixels for the HD3000 to handle.
    You may want to try setting the Dell to a lower resolution
    to test the theory to see what happens.  It is however,
    possible that any additional monitor when using the Thunderbolt
    display may over tax the HD3000 graphics.
    FWIW personally, I have been running a 2011 Mini Server w/ Thunderbolt
    display for almost a year now without any issues.  However, I don't
    use a second monitor.

  • Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc

    Worst update ever! On my Vista everything is wrong! Back button never active; If I want open pages as new tab it opens new window; FF starts with blank page instead of Google; No url address shown on status bar when I move mouse arrow on the link etc.. Please Help!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • When i type into the search bar on safari, it comes up with a yahoo or bing search instead of google like it normally would do

    I've had my macbook pro for about 2 years and any time i would type into the search bar of safari it would always come up with a google search. recently it is coming up with a yahoo or bing search and not google. my settings for safari have it set to google as the default search engine so I'm not sure why this is happening. Can anyone help me fix this?

    When you go to search something in your search bar , and you click in the search bar at the top , a drop down menu should appear when it gives you suggestions on smart search right ? , well within those list of suggestions in the search bar their should be a little magnifying glass icon in the corner , click on that and another drop down box will appear, then you can choose your search engine preference e.g. bing , google , yahoo etc. click on your preference and it will use that search engine when you search in your search bar. Hope this helped.

  • My ipod 5th generation charges when connected to my PC but not recognised in itunes with windows 8.1

    Why is my ipod 5th generation not recognised in itunes in windows 8.1?Connection to my PC only charges the battery.

    Did this iPod previously work with this computer (running Windows 8.1), and does not now for some reason?  Or is this the first time (or the first time with Windows 8.1)?
    The fact that only the battery charging symbol appears on the iPod screen seems to indicate that the iPod does not recognize a data connection.  It's like you are connecting the iPod to USB (wall) power adapter.  It is likely that the Windows system also does not see the iPod as a connected device; you should confirm by looking at Device Manager.
    You should rule out a faulty USB docking cable.  The dock connector has separate connection points for power and data, so it is possible for it to connect to charge the battery but not connect for data.  So, if possible, try another docking cable, or try the cable you have with another Apple device.
    You should rule out a problem on the USB port.  If you connect something else to the same port, does it work properly?  Preferably, you should use something similar, like a USB flash drive or port-powered external drive, and try copying over some large files.
    If the USB port and docking cable are OK, the cause is more likely to be on the iPod (such as a dock connector that is worn out from use).

    Hello,
    How does the Iomega eGo portable hard disk drive connect to the ThinkPad T61?
    If you plug this portable hard disk drive in before you turn the ThinkPad on, does the problem still occur or does Microsoft Windows XP boot as normal?

  • I just got a Macbook Pro three weeks ago, and it is already freezing up on me. What is wrong with it? Also, the battery life does not extend to 7 hours when connected to the internet. Is there something wrong with my computer, or is this normal?

    It's also really slow. And the mouse key on my screen sometimes doesn't switch back to normal.

  • My new Iphone 5 has no sounds when connected to car's bluetooth. Never a problem with iPhone 4.

    I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a 5, and upon conneecting my 5 to my car's bluetooth (2010 Acura TSX) I no longer hear sounds. This could be the lock sound, text alerts, or email "dings". All of them are muted. If i turn bluetooth off they re-appear without an issue.
    I suspect the problem is that the iPhone is sending all of the audio to the bluetooth, however since I have the radio on and don't have it on Bluetooth audio then my car isn't playing the sounds. I don't get how to fix this as it was never a problem on my Iphone4 running iOS5.1
    has anyone fixed this while being able to keep their bluetooth on so the handsfree works. For now i just put my phone on silent so that itvibrates however sometimes i forget and then miss alerts.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    could also check with an acura dealer to see if there is an update for your bluetooth software on the car.
    a new product like the iphone 5 is designed by the most up to date bluetooth regulations and frequencies and all that techno stuff, and if the software on your car is not up to date its going by 2010 specs.

  • The screen backlight of my mbp 15 stays dim even when connected to the power source. Anyone else dealt with this problem?

    It also seems that my sound can no longer be controlled by the keys on my keypad. Has anyone else experience this? I am running osx 10.6.8.

    IF RESET DOESN'T WORK, FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTunes and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...

  • When accessed from Firewall, the OSB WSDL is inserting schemalocation with HTTP port instead of HTTPS

    We have OSB service and we are able to access over firewall. Also the WSDL, Schemas etc., But when we external users access the WSDL, they are not able to get complete content i.e schemas are not imported.
    Reason is WSDL has http (<import schemaLocation="http://test.com:80/xxxxxx/Proxy/schema") with port no 80 instead of https (<import schemaLocation="https://test.com/xxxxxx/Proxy/schema") .
    Since we don't specify the complete schema location in WSDL, how does WSDL include the complete schema path? And how to change it https path instead of http?

    Namaste,
    Sorry for the delayed response.
    Yet, my one query is not answered.
    Q:Are you ABLE to get the Desired path in Endpoint URL(https) as well?
    Explanation:
    What I mean is, When the external users access the WSDL (I am assuming External Users are able to access WSDL through Firewall),
    As you have mentioned that XSD imports have HTTP instead of HTTPS, but how about the soap:address location? Even this points to HTTP instead of HTTPS?
    (Ex:
    <wsdl:service name="CaduceusSiteService">
        <wsdl:port name="site_pt" binding="tns:site_pttBinding">
            <soap:address location="https://www.test.com/test123"/>    ---> is this HTTP or HTTPS?
        </wsdl:port>
    </wsdl:service>
    BTW, did you set, HTTP Transport Configuration --> HTTPS required parameter to "YES"? (This is a prerequisite).
    We had a similar issue, where we had HTTP instead of HTTPS when WSDL accessed from Firewall.
    However, after lot of struggle, we got it worked after changing Firewall (MS TMG) settings to support for "text/xml".
    I think, it could be the same settings needed to done in your case too. Please do check the firewall settings.

  • Slowness when connecting to RemoteApp configured in Windows 2008 R2 Server using RDP file

    Dear All,
    When connecting to a RemoteApp configured in Windows 2008 R2 with less privileged user it takes ~20 seconds to connect.
    Initial connection to
    application takes about 20-30 seconds and once loaded, subsequent RemoteApp connection takes
    2-3 seconds. i.e. if there is a disconnected session available in the server it connects quickly otherwise it takes long time.
    I am seeing this issue with Windows 2008 Server, when I connect to a Windows 2012 Server RemoteApp gets
    connected quickly. Also if I try with higher privileged user (like RemoteAdmin) connection is quick. The user I am trying is having lot of group policies set to limit user access to file system, desktop and registries.
    If I keep UAC settings to minimal level connection happens quickly(i.e. solves this issue). But I am
    not supposed to change the server UAC setting. It seems this has something to do with the list of group policies set for the user.
    Any suggestion to avoid this first time connection delay for less privileged users for connecting to RemoteApp (in Windows 2008 Server).
    Thanks

    Hi Bachu,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    First of all, if you are using RD Gateway serve then I would like you to
    uncheck the “Bypass RD Gateway server for local address” under RemoteApp Manager Checkbox and notify the result.
    Configure Remote Desktop Gateway Settings
    Also like you to update the RDP client version to RDP 8.1 and then check the result. In addition,
    I will suggest you to check that you have proper certificate in place. You can enable certificate revocation checking on RD Gateway client. Might due to this, you are facing issue. Please notify that you find any certificate related warning. Refer below article
    for information.
    How to Enable Certificate Revocation Checking on a Remote Desktop Gateway Client
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

    Thanks,
    Yes, I did that. They have uppgrades for the dongles, but just untill Mac Os 10.7. Their solution is to buy a new modem from them or getting one for free if I sign a contract for 24 months! So, i think from that side not very helpful.
    It is just that I do not want to buy a new modem, when it works in quite recent computers and after having spent money in the new Mac.
    But thank you for your reply!
