When I open Firefox, I get Yahoo how do I cancel Yahoo ?

It just happened since I upgraded Firefox. My bookmarks are still Firefox, but when I type a search the screen that comes up with the possible entries is Yahoo, How do I get rid of Yahoo ?
Thanks

Maybe you set multiple Tabs as your Homepage?

I just downloaded the new version of Firefox (ver 4). Now when I open Firefox I get the address bar but the information part of my screen is blank. This happens on all web sites. How do I fix this? IE works fine.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
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.

Have Firefox & Bing and when I open Firefox I get Ref A and string of characters; then when I get to Bing, no toolbar with bookmarks, etc or way to access mail.

I made Bing my browser and it was working fine until today. When I open Firefox I get a message Ref A: and then a long string of characters. I click on the home icon and the string changes. After doing this several times I get the Bing search page. I do not get the Firefox start page with the tool bar that has my book marks, history etc. I cannot clear the cache if I cannot not get the history tab. If I go the the mozilla firefox program folder and open it, there is a tool bar but cannot clear recent history, etc. there. I do not have an administrator & password on my home desk top; it is just me. I tried to follow your suggestions, but they do not apply to my situation. I really don't know if this is a firefox or bing problem. I used google before bing and had no problems; just wanted to try bing.

Can you attach a screenshot?

When I open Firefox I get this error-firefox.exe application error the instruction at 0x02c38690 referenced memory at 0x02c38690 the memory could not be written

When I open Firefox I get the following error: firefox.exe application error - The instruction at 0x02c38690 referenced memory at 0x02c38690 - The memory could not be written - Click on OK to terminate the program.
If you click on OK it closes Firefox - You can not reopen Firefox until you reboot the computer. Then it starts all over again.
The same happens if I click the "X" instead on the error window.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro/ Hitman Pro]
* [http://www.eset.com/us/online-scanner/ ESET Online Scanner]
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

It started today , when i open firefox i get a constant pop up that comes in as a message uninstal set how do i get rid of it???

when i open firefox to go on line there is a message pop up box that says "uninstall set" i will click ok but the pop up continues over and over. i want to get rid of this pop up, can you give me some direction as to how to get rid of this pop up? I have uninstalled and reinstalled firefox, and it still pops up.

Brand Thunder software isn't viewed very favorably around here, due to it including "extras" such as you are seeing.

Change your home page to the road runner webmail system - see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20set%20the%20home%20page#w_set-a-single-web-site-as-your-home-page

When I open Firefox I get the message "Firefox is already running but not responding . . .

I am using Firefox 3.6.9 with Windows XP SP3. Almost every time I try to open Firefox I get the message:
"Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
I then must open Task Manager and find Firefox and stop the process.
I run Firefox on 4 Windows machines and this is the only machine that I have this problem on.
I have looked at the Mozilla Firefox KB and have tried to check on the items that could be causing the problem. I have update my Java in Firefox. I have un-installed Firefox leaving the Bookmark preferences, etc. on my machine, ran CCleaner to clean the Registry of remaining Firefox items and then re-installed Firefox - I still have the problem.
I have installed Google Chrome to fix this problem but now I find that several of the websites and companies I do business with are not compatible with Chrome.
How can I fix this problem? Why am I only having this issue on 1 of my 4 Windows machines?
Thanks!

For possible causes see [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

I just installed 4.0b7. When I open Firefox, I get a Javascript Application error message.

I just installed 4.0b7. When I open Firefox, a Javascript Application windows opens with the following message:
"what happened:TypeError: Components.classes ['@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1'] is undefined".
The browser does open after I click 'OK' on the error message.
How can I fix this?
I have tried uninstaling and re-installing the browser.
I am using Windows 7.

That indicates an add-on is not compatible with 4.0b7. Follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article to identify the culprit. If you have the Ask toolbar either disable or uninstall it, that one is known to give this error and is not compatible with 4.0b7.

When I open firefox i get two blank buttons on my tool bar. They have a blank info with a small screen image. Any ideas.
