When I click on Mozilla icon, it now goes directly to iGoogle and there is no place to enter a website address.

This just started happening. So I can't use Mozilla Firefox and I like to use Firefox. Now I have to go through Internet Explorer. How can I get back to being able to use Firefox and not be taken to iGoogle search? I can't enter a web address from there.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible:
*"View > Toolbars" or Firefox > Options
Open the Customize window to set which toolbar items to display:
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up
You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file if the above didn't help.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. <br />
    2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

  • Hi all, I am not able to open the game centre on my ipad! When I click on the icon the screen goes white and all I can see on the screen is the battery icon on top right and internet connection top left. Nothing else happens. Please can anyone

    Please can anyone help me to open game centre. Thanks in advance.

    Try closing Game Centre via the iPad's multitasking bar and see if it works when you re-open it :
    iOS 7 : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Game Centre's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with Game Centre 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Game Centre app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then you could try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    '''Have you tried running it from the terminal? '''
    Also make sure that your computer has the required libraries installed. Missing libraries will cause Firefox to be inoperable.
    ''Please note that GNU/Linux distributors may provide packages for your distribution which have different requirements.''
    '''Firefox will not run at all without the following libraries or packages:'''
    * GTK+ 2.18 or higher
    * GLib 2.22 or higher
    * Pango 1.14 or higher
    * X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
    * libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
    ''For optimal functionality, we recommend the following libraries or packages:''
    * NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
    * DBus 1.0 or higher
    * HAL 0.5.8 or higher
    * GNOME 2.16 or higher
    The installation file provided by Mozilla in .tar.bz2 format does not contain sources but pre-compiled binary files, therefore you can simply unpack and run them. There is no need to compile the program from source.
    So once you run it with all dependencies, Firefox should run.
    Download the compressed tarball here: https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
    Replaced last set of links to download page as they were affiliates links and not to the actual download page.

  • When I click on a pdf file, it goes to Windows Media Center

    I have Vista and upgraded to IE8 about a month ago.  Now when I click on a pdf file, it goes directly to the Windows Media Center.  I have no idea what's going on or how to fix it.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

    Somehow, PDFs have become associated with Media center as the default application for opening them.
    Right click a PDfFand choose Properties.
    To the right of Opens with, there is a Change button. Click it and select Adobe Reader from the list of programs.
    Click OK, Check the box to always use the selected program to open this type of file (If it's clickable), then click Apply and OK.
    A reboot may be necessary.

  • I reset Firefox. Now when I click on the icon to open Firefox my computer asks me if I want to let Firefox make changes to my computer.

    I reset Firefox. Now when I click on the icon to open Firefox my computer asks me if I want to let Firefox make changes to my computer.
    I have read that I should do a clean reinstall. Will I loose all of my open tabs, bookmarks, history etc?
    Is there another way to fix the problem other than a reinstall. this would have to be my last resort!

    A possible cause of this error is that Firefox is set to run as Administrator.
    Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
    Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
    Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
    * Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
    * "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
    Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    I TRY TO OPEN IPHOTO AND I COULD NOT.  WHEN I CLICK ON THE ICON DID NOT EVEN BOUNCE.  THEN I DRAGED IT ON MY DESKTOP AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND THE ICON ANYWHERE, what can i do???

    iOS?  or OSX
    OSX = Finder > Applications > iPhoto. Double click the app to open it.
    The icon (alias) will then be back on the dock. Right click the Icon > Keep in Dock.
    Icons dragged off the dock vanish in a puff of smoke.. they are only aliases (shortcuts)
    If you mean iOS I can't really understand what is happening..
