When firefox comes up, it brings up m.yahoo rather than yahoo and I don't know why

I Installed a newfire fox. When it comes up it automatically selects yahoo which I did not assign and it automatically puts in m.yahoo.
I am on a cable computer which is run by Time/Warner which I believe is roadrunner although the main user uses aol email and just recently added a router. I have had this problem before but usually just reintered yahoo but it automatically goes back to m.yahoo.

Check the Home page setting.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

"Your email account" means to tap on the name of your email account. Whatever it is listed as in the settings.
In my mail settings, one of my email accounts is a Comcast account. I tap on the Comcast name and it brings up this window.
Then I tap on the arrow under the Outgoing mail server smtp setting to get to the next window.
In the resulting window, I then tap on the arrow next to the smtp server under the Primary Server setting.
That brings up this window in which I check to make sure that my user name and password have been entered correctly. If those items are missing, enter them in the appropriate fields and then tap done.

Have you read [[Links do not open in Firefox]]

After shutting down my iMac last night, Firefox will not open this morning and I don't know why?

My iMac is set to open to my home page My Yahoo with Firefox browser. This morning my Firefox browser is not opening and I don't know why? It does open on my new MacBook Air as per usual. I click on the icon but it does not respond even though I have opened it. this has never happened to me before and I don't know why it's happening now. I did a clean reinstall but that didn't work. Now what?????? With the add-on Troubleshooter should I have asked this question on my iMac using Safari? I am on my MacBook Air asking it.

Actually it does open but nothing shows up. I can't use my iMac unless I use the Safari browser and I want to use Firefox! I'm at my wits end as to how to fix this. I have tried everything that troubleshooting has suggested on Mozilla support. Help!!!!!!!!

I can't send emails through Yahoo using Firefox. Already contacted Yahoo and they don't know why it's happening.

All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

I can't begin to describe this, firefox opens to websites and I don't know why

PLEASE HELP I never had issues with this browser which I use almost exclusively. Now over the past week, I am having nothing but.
I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Once again, I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox after it seemed to be going haywire. I set how I want it to look, and I want the toolbar to show, the "file, edit etc." and I usually don't have problems finding how to do that.
But yesterday those vanished, and I use them too much and I don't know what happened.
So after I uninstalled and re-stalled, that took care of it.
HOWEVER now this browser when I open it, I open a new tab, which should bring a blank page, it goes to the last site I was. I did not set it to do that.
1) Does anyone know how to stop that?
2) It does open to the home page IF I click on firefox, but a new tab should bring just that.
Why is this happening? That is my second question. Can anyone remotely be tampering with this?
How would that happen, if so, and how to I guard against it?
I DO NOT let this save passwords. I don't let any browser do that.
Last, my email on my phone worked just fine until Friday morning, the last time it synched.
Now I can't get emails on my phone because it says "password changed" -- what the f****? I didn't change anything, I am getting my emails on my notebook just fine, I have a pin on my phone so I can't fathom what is happening. This NEVER happened with my windows phone. I put in the password, and that was that. No issues.
That strays from Firefox, but it is an overall cause of problems of changes etc. that are making me very concerned. Yes I have macafee security.
LAST if someone had remote access, such as a tech with a company, and you end the access can the remote access ON THEIR END be re-connected?
THANK YOU SO MUCH in advance for help with firefox issue, and any insight on the others.
Gina

Hey Gina,
Change all your passwords, this will stop the remote access if there are any. Also check to make sure there are no third party apps managing your passwords. Also please contact the tech support for the phone for more technical help on that issue :-)
I also understand that the customization is not staying. [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
Did this happen when you synced last? Also are there more than one device with different Customized ui settings?
Change the settings back from open "pages from last time" to the other homepage: [[How to set the home page]] or if this happened after you attached another device to the sync account, uncheck Preferences from the sync settings.

All my firefox sync data has been deleted and I don't know why. Any way to restore it??

I had alot of bookmarks and passwords on my firefox sync. However, I rebooted my computer a few days ago and now when I clicked on "Merge sync data" my data still does not appear and it seems like everything has been deleted. Can I restore this data?

I have tried restoring it but it only shows dates for the last 5 days which doesn't help. I rebooted my computer (formatted hard drive and reinstalled windows) a few days ago so any backup files in my computer are gone. I thought that there are backup copies made on the Firefox server but obviously I was wrong!
I don't see the point of Firefox sync if you can't view your bookmarks etc online and if there aren't backups made on the server.

When I open my browser, within a few seconds I get an "iGoogle" screen that comes up and I don't know why or how to exit it. This just started yesterday.

I click on Mozilla Firefox, which I've used for a several months. It opens as expected and then. within a few seconds, an "iGoogle" page opens. It has no apparent exit. I've tried to right click and Esc. I've tried a power cycle a few times and thhe same thing occurs. I don't recall doing anything to initiate the display of the page.

Try to remove the Firefox plist file (org.mozilla.firefox.plist).

Go to "~/Library/Preferences" and remove the plist file for Firefox (org.mozilla.firefox.plist)

When I open a pdf file, after a few seconds, it hides the toolbar and I don't know how to get it back. I use multiple monitors and, without being able to grab the toolbar, I am unable to move the pdf file to a different monitor. How do I stop this?

Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.
* If the above steps didn't help then see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Note: Do not delete localstore.rdf in the program folder (Windows: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\") (Mac: "/Applications/Firefox.app/defaults/profile/")

Something keeps trying to download on my mac and I don't know what it is. It is not in the apple store and just comes out nowhere and request for my password to download something and I don't know what it is. How to make this stop?

Erica,
     I can, with 99.99% certainty, tell you that you are absolutely right in not wanting to download or install this "Helper," whatever it is (but we can be equally certain it would not "help" anything).
     I cannot comment as to Oglethorpe's recommendation of 'adwaremedic'; I am unfamiliar with it. His links to the Apple discussion and support pages warrant your time and attention.
     It might be really simple -- Trying looking in your Downloads folder, trash anything that you don't know with certainty is something you want to keep, and then Secure Empty your Trash. Then remove the AdBlock extension, LastPass, and Web of Trust extensions to Safari and re-boot. If the issue goes away, still be extraordinarily careful in the future.
     Unfortunately, it's probably not going to be that simple to get rid of, in which case I'd then try the line by line editing in HT203987.
     I have no further suggestions (other than a complete wipe and re-install...but that's a pain because trying to restore from Time Machine would simply ... restore the Mal).
   For the rest of us, please post when you find a solution.
     Best.
     BPW
(Also, try to edit your second post -- black out your last name on the screenshot and re-post it for others)

HT2623 how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

how do i delete icloud account on my ipad when my apple ID is non active email and i don't know the password and can't reset password without active email

If the iCloud account you are trying to delete is old ID that was later updated to change it to your current ID, you can go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now, if desired, you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My screen load times have slowed down to a crawl. I have to wait and wait for a page to load. (I know --dial -up) It used to be much faster a month ago before 5.0. Is it FireFox or do I look to Yahoo for the problem? I don't know how to sort it out.

I'm having the same problem. Dreamweaver is supper slow. Uploading and downloads from the server... any server I use two different servers. It times out all the time. Menus are slow too.
I'm on a MAC Pro, 6 gigs of ram no issues with anything else. I have talked to Apple they have checked everything for me. They say it's Dreamweaver. I've noticed the Dreamweaver is talking to the FTP even when I'm not doing anything.
I've tried cleaning out my MAC caches, turning off file check and check out. Still really slow. I've worked with Dreamweaver for 6 years never any issues like this before. 18 seconds to upload a 4 kb file. 11 seconds to download the same file.
