When I click on the firefox icon why does aol come up?

All I want to know is why aol comes up when I pres the Firefox icon.

Thank you so much. I kept trying to fix it under the General tab from Firefox. I opened firefox, which flipped to MSN and fixed it like you said from the MSN Tools, General tab. You are great! Thank you again.

    I thought I had followed all the directions to install mozilla firefox and I have the icon on my desktop but whenever I click it, I am not able to use it.

  • When i click on the Firefox icon, a message about Torbutton appears. Wen i close the messag, i get a proxy error note.

    I recently downloaded the latest version (15.0.1) of Firefox for my Mac. When i click on the Firefox icon, i get a display "Important Torbutton Information". It states "Torbutton is now always enabled. Click on the Torbutton for more information". I click on OK. I then get a display that states "THE PROXY SERVER IS REFUSING CONNECTIONS". I believe that i have two problems. 1. How do i fix the Proxy Server.
    (2) How do i access Torbutton?

  • When i click on the firefox icon it doesnt open the firefox browser page

    when i click on the firefox icon to open it no page loads

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • I need help: I've a macbook pro with Mavericks....when I click on the Firefox icon on the fox, it just jumps and then eventually invokes slowly. What can I do?

    basically, when I boot up the mac, I click on the firefox icon...it just jumps and sometimes it executes. I probably would have to wait a bit for trying to get into the browser successfully. Anything I can do? Thanks

    Hi,
    This article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-takes-long-time-start-up] suggests that you
    #Change your homepage
    #Check to make sure your extensions are up to date
    # Check to make sure that your antivirus allows Firefox
    #Check to make sure that you have the preference "Do not load tabs until selected"
    However, I would recommend that you close other programs and clear the cache of the profile to increase the load time. [[How to clear the Firefox cache]] A quicker way to do this if you do not have any immediate data to save is to Reset Firefox. [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]

  • When I click on the FireFox icon I want it to be my main browser, not something else like Inbox!

    I click on the FireFox icon and Inbox comes up as my search/browser. I want FireFox. How do I fix this?

    It should be listed as an extension, so you can uninstall it using the add-ons manager. For details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
    This help page from Inbox also shows how to uninstall it - http://toolbar.inbox.com/faq.aspx?faqid=2876&faqmod=WST_Install#2

  • When I click on the firefox icon it doesn't start unless I then try and open something else - at which point it starts after the other program -how can I stop this?

    When I try and open firefox -either from the start menu or desktop shortcut -it doesn't open unless I open another program first. Eg I click firefox and then say 'word' and then 'word' will open followed by firefox- not only is it a bit irritating but also means I get distracted(!) as I usually chose solitaire because it opens quickly.
    Doesn't happen with other programs ...
    Wouldn't open at all today until a restart - before it would restart I got an error that said firefox wasn't responding - but possibly that isn't connected as computer wasn't shut down properly the day before.

    This is because the regular central Nightly channel builds is only the desktop version. The version on Nightly development channel is at 21.0a1 now actually.
    You need a build that has Metro support.
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-elm/
    Many users state they cannot get Metro version to work on 32-bit Windows anyways.
    There is this running thread at mozillaZine about the Metro builds. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2304983

  • When I click on the firefox icon, "about home" or "about blank" appears in the address bar.

    about blank or about home is appearing in my address bar. How can I get it to read mozilla?

    Yes, it's normal behavior, but there is any add-on or any possibility that address bar would be empty when you click on home page button?
    It would be more comfortable if you didn't have to clear address bar.
    Thanks for help.

  • When I click on the Firefox icon to open it, nothing happens.

    This problem appeared, seemingly out of the blue. Since then, I've downloaded the newest version, and restarted my computer. The problem persists. I'm wondering if Apple is blocking it, so that I have to use Safari, where all of their advertising is.

    Hello Floyd.
    Hopefully this support article is what you need:
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+will+not+start
    In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
