When I open my AOL mail in Firefox, the message opens then changes to the Bing search page.

I can see the message for a few seconds, then the screen blinks and I am looking at the search page where the email should be. This only seems to be happening on one of my computers and it does not happen in other browsers.

Hi rickyoshiro,
This sounds like a known issue reported here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014
There was a workaround posted, but I've not tested it myself. Here are the steps.
# Go into Yahoo Messenger Options - Change the Window in the dropdown to Tab and press OK.
# Then go back and switch it to small window and press OK.
Once the bug is officially resolved, you could try running a Nightly or Aurora build to use the fix early.
Hopefully this helps!

When i open a new tab, a bing search site pop up instead of a blank tab. how do i get rid of that?

So i just downloaded CDisplay and thats when it started. So i was wondering if there's an easy way to get rid of the bing search when i click on a new tab

Clearing the cache fixed this for me. Before doing this though, I HIGHLY recommend booting into safe mode (assuming you are using Windows) and run the latest version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php].
UPDATE: Well...that worked for a while. That page is back. I still recommend scanning your machine if you have not yet done so.
UPDATE 2: I've found that the application causing the issue is "Cartoonly", which you should see as an extension. You can't remove it from Firefox, you can only disable it. Search your entire computer for "Cartoonly" (even if you have ran MBAM as suggested above) and delete EVERYTHING having to do with that garbage. Your new tabs should be clean and the extension should be gone as well. :)

When I go to Yahoo Mail on Firefox the font is smaller than on Internet Explorer

When I use Internet Explorer the font in Yahoo Mail is nice and large and easy to read but when I use Firefox the font is too small. Can it be changed.
I am not just talking about within the e-mail itself but within the whole program.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

If you need to adjust the font size on websites then look at:

I use yahoo when I go to yahoo mail via firefox the text is extremely large and I can not figure how to minimize it so I can continue to use Firefox.

When I am in Firefox and go into my Yahoo mail the mail's font is so large it does not even fit into the screen. I can not see where I can change the size. It is only when using Firefox I have this problem. I appreciate your help.

You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident. Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

When I access Yahoo E-Mail through Firefox, the mail window is unreadable and stuffed to the left side of the Firefox window. This just began. When I access the mail through IE, it comes up just fine.

Everything about Firefox is fine until I click on Yahoo! and go to my email. Then, the "Inbox" window is tiny and unreadable.

Are you opening Yahoo mail from a bookmark?
Opening in the Sidebar is the default action for bookmarks that are created via a "Bookmark this Page" link or button on a website. Make sure you use the many "Bookmark this Page" methods that are in Firefox instead.
Right-click that bookmark and select '''Properties''', then un-check the preference for '''Load this bookmark in the sidebar''', and then click Save.

When I open a new tab a Babylon search page comes up. I just installed foxtab video to MP3 and Audacity 1.3 beta; Babylon must've piggybacked in on 1 of these programs - HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS & RETURN TO BLANK NEW TABS?

All my details are in the question itself - I can't think of any information to add to the above.

If it is a search engine in the search bar, see the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Search%20bar Search bar] article for details of how to remove a search engine.
If you have the Babylon Toolbar, follow the procedure in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20add-ons Uninstalling add-ons] article, in particular the section on uninstalling extensions and themes

When selecting a link from Google search I'm directed to the Bing search page.

On most (not all) links that I select from either Google Search or Bing Search results I am directed to the blank Bing Search page.

PC virus won't run on iPad.

When I try to open Firefox by clicking on the desktop icon, all I get is a Bing search page and no Firefox.

When I click on the Firefox desktop icon, I get a Bing search page. Nothing relating to Firefox is evident and the only way I can get out of the Bing search page is using Control/Alt/Delete. I can't access anything in Firefox at all.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) 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 and the plugin-container 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.

Can you start Firefox in Offline mode via the Profile Manager

If there is a problem with searching via the default about:home page then try to reset the search engine used on the about:home page.
Reset the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone pref via the right-click context menu to the default on the about:config page and close and restart Firefox to restore the about:home page to its default.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
#Open the about:config page via the location bar
#Type in the Filter bar: mstone
#Right-click the browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone line and select: Reset
#Close and restart Firefox
If this didn't help then delete the delete the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and repeat the above.
You can reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

Can't access AOL mail through Firefox or Safari

For the past two days I have not been able to access AOL Mail through Firefox 3.6.3 or Safari 4.0.5 browsers. The AOL homepage loads fine, but when I go to mail - the pages do not load properly. This was working fine prior and I have used AOL this way for a couple years. I have other computers and they work fine.
Today, I have tried a few different fixes. I deleted NetworkInterfaces.plist & preferences.plist from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and upon restart and resetting of Network settings the AOL mail page loaded properly just 1 time in Firefox. Upon restart of Firefox, the same problem returned.

Hi, have you done any Disk Maintenance lately?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

Just to day when I open AOL email on Firefox,the body of the message is covered over. You can actually search for something on Bing from your email but not open the email.
The problem doesn't happen on Internet Explorer,so I guess I will have to use it from now on.

I tried to uninstall bing and it's not listed as a program anywhere, I don't know what to do! Plus I use windows 7... help!

AOL email,click on email to open,email text replaced by Bing Search box

I use Mozilla Firefox to open my AOL homepage...then when I click on AOL Mail email, the single email loads, appears on the screen for about 2 seconds, then the text of the email disappears and is replaced by a Bing Search box...I can actually type inside the search box, but of course I have not done that for fear of infecting my computer further...had a computer tech at my home to try to repair,but unsuccessful...on phone for 2 hrs each with both AOL and Microsoft, no luck...if I access the AOL page via Internet Explorer, the error does not occur...using Windows Vista.

Sorry that is the T-Mobile setup process for AOL, after investigating I realized that AOL and Verizons network dont play well the way I got it to work was either setup Google to retrieve AOL account or use the app from AOL located here.. http://mobile.aol.com/product/android/aol/
Also here is the setup processes for all AOL supported apps, it doesnt show Android but maybe you can play with some of the settings and get it to work through the app.... http://about.aol.com/faq/openmailaccess
UPDATE: Did some more reasearch and found this information at DroidForums by Drakkarr that may work...
How to set up my Droid email to send/receive Netscape, AOL or AIM emails?
Setting up access to the AOL or AIM Mail servers is simple, and the settings are similar for most email applications.
The basic information that you need to keep in mind to set up your email application using IMAP and POP3 is as follows:
Your email address is [email protected] or [email protected]
Be sure to include the @aol.com or @aim.com suffix.
The incoming mail (POP) server address is imap.aol.com and imap.aim.com for IMAP, and pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP3.
Select the check box for leaving messages on the server.
The outgoing mail (SMTP) server address is smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587.
Your user name is your AOL or AIM screen name.
Your password is your AOL or AIM password.

I open my email and the Bing search box appears, this does not happen when using Internet Explorer

When using the browser, when I go to aolmail and open my email account and click on my mail to open a message to read. The mail opens and content shows for a quick second and then goes blank. The Bing search box appears in the email content section. If I use internet explorer there is no problem. The email can be read. I am using firefox 3.6.15, home vista.

That problem can be caused by the Yahoo! Toolbar that extents too much downwards and covers the top part of the browser window and thus makes links in that part of the screen not clickable.

Another easy thing to try is to quit the mail app completely and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Did you send an email with a large attachment by any chance?

When I open a new tab the Amazon Search Page appears and the reset grid is not in upper right corner

When I click on the open new tab "+" what I open to is the Amazon search page.
The URL Of the page is;
www.amazon.com/websearch/ref=bit_bds-p23_serp_ff_us_display?ie=UTF8&tagbase=bds-p23&tbrId=v1_abb-channel-23_f7847e52c2fb4b3381f5107c4adc5722_39_1006_20140323_US_ff_nt_dcomnew-util-728
The grid that should be in the upper right corner to reset the page is not on the page with the above URL. How do I reset to normal Firefox?.

There's a hidden setting for new tabs. Here's how to access it:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
